Beautiful property- house was really great- plenty of room inside and wonderful outdoor areas. Fun water toys- kayaks, paddleboards, and floats- lovely screen room by the water We had a terrific week. Susannah and Lou were great hosts and very helpful. Will definitely stay here again
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Retreat, the house is beautiful, roomy and offers everything you would need for a vacation rental. The kitchen and living area is perfect for a large group. The boat house and all it has to offer made our stay and we enjoyed everything immensely. The property offers all you need....toys for the water, a place to hide with a good book, the cool evenings fires are a perfect way to end a day of fun and relaxation.
This is the 3rd year in a row we have booked this house! It is pet friendly, on a perfect lake location, has a great pier and beachy area, and communication with the host is always timely! We are booked again for next year.
Check-in went very smooth. No problems. The kitchen was well stocked with silver ware, pots, pans and cookie sheets. Kurieg and Mr. Coffee were both available. Dishes were plentiful also. In all it was a very enjoyable week.
Our time in the lake house was fantastic. There's plenty to do in the house itself to enjoy the stay, but there's also many fun things to do if you're willing to drive a bit. Your time there will definitely be enjoyable!
Our two sons, their wives, and grandchildren enjoyed our week at the lake house. The house was outstanding and everyone had a great time! Our grand children didn’t want to leave the lake.
This is our second summer coming to Sue and Lou’s beautiful home sunset Harbor. We absolutely had a fantastic time so many memories great evening boat rides. We loved jumping off the dock and swimming in the in the lake. It was just a magical week. As always, the house was immaculately clean. The kitchen was well stocked. Everyone was very pleased with their the rooms on clean sheets, plenty of towels we enjoyed setting up on the back deck as the sun was set and enjoyed the fire pit actually got to watch some fireworks on the fifth, which was quite wonderful.
This was the best property we have ever rented. The house was well equipped for 14. Kitchen had all the things needed to cook with. Plenty of space with a great porch and views of the lake. Boat house, dock, fire pit and beach area were just right for fishing and for the kids to play. Would come back again.
We loved the house, the layout of the property and the areas that our grandson could enjoy were a real bonus. We had 4 generations staying with us during this week. We had ping pong matches and with everyone cooking at least one night, plenty of room and storage for all of our hungry guests! Immaculately clean, well provisioned and just the kitchen perfect place for our family gathering!!
This is the second year in a row we rented this house. We love the location and the house is the perfect size for our family. The house is well maintained, well stocked, and clean. The pier, sandy play area, fire pit and boathouse are also in excellent condition. The owners are incredibly nice and very responsive. This year’s addition of a black stone grill was a nice surprise. We have already booked for next year!
Great hosts. Wonderful views. Good location on lake close to gas a decent restaurant. Excellent home layout for two families. Spacious rooms. Suite above garage has privacy. Nice big kitchen and eating area. Living room is well laid out with seating. Rear porch is a great hangout area. Dock is nice and boat lift for either a pontoon or V hull is great. Plus spots for two jet skis.The new mini fridge at the dock is a nice touch. Home is well appointed. Walk back to the home isn’t too steep. Game room is nice; the ping pong table got a workout. This was our second stay and will stay again. Tree came down from a storm and they were there within 24 hours to address it.
Vacationing with family is great, having our own private apt. getaway was fantastic. With 6 kids on vacation at night when they aren't ready to end the day we retired to our quiet apt. The house is roomy and the kids enjoyed the game room. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks, wakeboard and just the floats provided to relax in the lake. The firepit area is fantastic and plenty of seating is provided. My only negative are the spiders. I would have had a great time with a powerwasher on the boat house. I do have a spider phobia so my warning is don't go near the boat house at night that's when they come out and hang in their webs.
WOW! I really don't know how to describe our week at Sunset Harbour. It was excellent to say the least. I know I titled it UNPLUG but 3 of us worked a couple days...at the same time, with no issues. Everything we needed was there! Our family ranged from 78 to 2 and it fit! Great layout, plenty of space for everyone. Knew from the listing it had games, toys, beach equipment etc. but we never really trust that. You CAN with this listing! Bring your own fishing poles but other than that, it is all there. We ate out 2x just because we could. Everything (putt-putt golf, restaurant, grocery, taphouse) all close by. Beach area for the kids and the water access was perfect for everyone. Our hosts were great if we had any questions and the household rules/ directions were easy to comply with. Hate to say how great it was as everyone in our group wants to return next year and we don't want someone else grabbing our time! :)
This is a nice, large house on a really beautiful lot with a great view of the lake, both day and night. It’s beautiful by the water but it’s a long walk through the grass—we might have spent more time there if it were half as far. There were 10 of us, six adults and four children, and we had plenty of room and never got in each other’s way, which was especially nice in the spacious kitchen. The other reviews here are accurate and capture the charm of the place. I only have minor complaints, which maybe I shouldn’t mention, and won’t stop us from coming back, but here goes: some of the bedrooms didn’t have dressers or nightstands, there are no towel bars in the main bath, the dinner plates are not microwave safe, the kitchen / great room has a lot of echo, and the couch has lost most of its fluff, but was still comfortable. Definitely a 5/5!
My family enjoyed this property immensely! There are 14 of us ranging in age from 2 to 67. It had something for everyone. The teens loved the game room and we all loved the kayaks and SUPs. The sandy area was perfect for my great granddaughter! The walk in area of water was so nice for those of us who just wanted to float. We hope to make this a yearly vacation!
We enjoyed our week at Sunset Harbour. It is situated within a 10 minute drive to most restaurants and other things to do around Lake Anna. The lakefront/dock area is perfect for resting, playing games, and swimming. I used the boat lift to keep my boat in the lake all week without fear of it being jostled by waves or getting rained on heavily. Rented a pontoon as well from Shipwreck rental less than a mile away. Plenty of room on the dock to tie that off as well. Game room was a hit with the whole family. Owner was very responsive to a few questions I had. We hope to rent again in the future!
With ourselves and children and 7 grandchildren, we had a great stay at sunset retreat. The place was clean, had plenty of room and kitchen well stocked. Location was beautiful with great views of the lake. The game room with ping pong and game consoles and other games kept everyone entertained. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. The amenities were great with stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and an easy shallow entry (1 foot) that was perfect for the little ones. Water was perfect temp at end of June and boat traffic was minimal. Very much recommend!
This property is outstanding! It has something for everyone! Our family totally enjoyed our stay!
I would suggest two recommendations: wooden deck needs to be repainted and living room sectional is old and could be replaced.
We could not have been happier here. Fit our family perfectly! However, we will no longer be able to return due to the pet status of the home. We understand ,but are so disappointed when we watched our pets so carefully, that other guests didn’t do the same. They hurt it for the guests, that truly appreciated the rules and abided by them.
We were so blessed to have had at least one stay there, just wish it could have been more. Bill and Bonnie Nash

About the host
Hosted by Susannah and Lou
My Husband and I have been sharing our property through VRBO at Lake Anna for over 5 years. We fell in love immediately with the property and the peaceful nature of the lake. Our kids and Grandkids have all made great memories here. It is an amazing place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our normally busy lives. Building memories and enjoying family and friends on the lake is something worth sharing with others. We've received a lot of great feedback over the years, and we hope to continue to be able to share this beautiful spot. We hope you'll bring family and friends to Lake Anna to see for yourself!
