A little story about Robert Downey Jr.
His trip through Sanford,
That's how we roll!

SANFORD, Florida – During a radio interview this morning, Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr took a moment to praise Sanford, Florida residents who had helped him with a mechanical issue with his rental car as he passed through the city recently:

“We were just leaving the city limits of Sanford, Florida when the damn car overheated or something so I pulled it over to the side of the road and within just a minute or two there were a couple of cars that pulled over to help me out. I told them that I was on the phone with the rental car company but one of them had a brother who owned a tow truck and a few minutes later it was there and he towed it to a place nearby to get fixed.

So then the one guy finds out that I’m not from there and offers to take me in to get lunch while my car is getting fixed and I’m thinking, ‘Sure, what the hell.’ So we drove to probably the finest dining spot in Sanford – some place called Christo’s – and got a burger. Great freakin’ burger too. These guys had no idea who I was either which made my day, honestly. I’m telling you, these people in Sanford are the real deal. I’m going to move there after I retire,” Downey Jr said with a laugh.

Downey Jr added later, “You have to understand, this is something that would’ve never happened in L.A.! So yeah, that’s my story about Sanford, Florida. It’s nice to know there are still places like this in America.

Photos Don't Do It Justice
What a lovely property! We love the Sanford area and always thought it would be fun to share our preferred adventures there with a few of our closest friends so I rented this house for my husband's birthday weekend and invited three couples as our guests. The home was incredibly spacious and very well equipped in the kitchen. It was also remote from other properties so an evening in with a taco bar, margaritas and "Cards Against Humanity" had no noise limitations. We were very comfortable in the large master suite and enjoyed the oversized jacuzzi tub. The property is pet-friendly which was an added bonus. We highly recommend this property and visiting the Sanford area to enjoy Blue Springs, boating on the river and the excellent downtown restaurants like Hollerbach's. If your life is fast-paced, this is a wonderful break to a slow things down for a bit. Thank you to Dana for her wonderful hospitality.

Wow...what a quiet and awesome place. Secluded and off the busy highways and byways. Must stay here
This home is hard to describe because it so beautiful. The outside is plain but the interior is unbelievable. Antiques and decor galore with plenty of everything; we hung out most of the time on the huge outside covered porches....lots of them. Central to Sanford area for everything and great restaurants abound all around. We visited this town for the first time with other family members for a college graduation and everyone loved the place. Highly recommend and will stay there next vist as well. Great owner with pride in her lovely home we were glad to experience it.

Amazing!
We rented this because our son was getting married in Sanford. The home and property are wonderful. We had the rehearsal dinner at the house and everyone loved it. It is beautifully decorated and was a pleasure to stay at.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Keen

Host profile image
I have lived in the house for over 25 years raised my 2 children here, and have loved every minute of it. You will too. I grew up in the Orlando area most of my life. I love the area, I guess that's why I am still here. I am not ready to let go of the house just yet. So I thought I would let other people enjoy it as much as I have. I do live close by if you should need any thing a phone call away. I work in the area about 20 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

It has such a peaceful feel here. Everyone that comes here says the same thing. I love the feel of this house. I do too! The wrap around porch, and the quiet surroundings it is just delightful. Like I said it seems like you are far away, but close to every thing. You can go either direction and be at the beach or antiqe shopping, restaurants, malls, cinema's, golf, what ever your heart desires. Your going to love it.

What makes this property unique

One of the things I love about this house is the porch. The swing on the front over looks the whole property with another swing hanging from tall trees where my children used to swing and all their cousins, and friends. We also have an historical well that the trains used to use to fill their steam engines many years ago. It is laid out very nice for entertaining. The downstairs is the entertainment area, and the bedrooms are all upstairs. I hope you enjoy your stay, and tell your friends about it.
