My family enjoyed our stay at 173 Sunrise Lane very much. The house was clean and comfortable. The outside well kept. The dock was new and safe and convenient with good swimming. House is convenient to a boat ramp and stores. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful.
We have stayed in this house before and have loved it each time. The house and grounds are beautiful, comfortable, and convenient. The bedrooms and their adjoining baths are perfect for couples and children. The dock is new and easy to use. Great vacation place!

Good morning Kenny. Thank you so very much for the kind review, but also for the paper products (and refreshments) that you left for us. We will definitely utilize them. We are so glad that you had a good weekend and the weather appeared perfect! It is our favorite time of the year!
Best Regards,

Our family of ten (children and grandchildren) could not have asked for a better location for our long weekend together! The kitchen was well supplied and the bathrooms and bedrooms were very comfortable. We spent many hours on the porch and near the dock area. Our grandchildren enjoyed the kayaks and swimming near the dock. I highly recommend this rental property!

Our family enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay at this lovely home. The large yard, the dock, and the quiet slough close to bigger water were perfect for our activities. The home was spacious, clean and well stocked with all the necessities. Communication with the owners was easy with a quick response. This was our first stay but all agreed it will not be the last. Thank you for sharing your home.
We had an amazing stay! The house was perfect and really clean and the dock was in excellent condition. We loved being north away from all the lake traffic and rough water. Kitchen was well stocked, TV and internet worked great and there were lots of board and card games. Thanks!

Beautiful place to stay. Master bedroom and a bedroom upstairs (QUEEN BED AND 2 TWINS) were hot. The air conditioning system for those two rooms does not work properly at all.

So sorry that you experienced this. Air conditioning filters have been replaced in both units and now are working well. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
A group of us celebrated a friend’s 60 th birthday. The accommodations could not have been nicer. We had everything we needed and only left the property to dine out two nights.
Just perfect!

Thank you Sherry. We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves at Sunrise Cove. We hope to see you again in the future.
We enjoyed the lake weekend for our family. the house is amazing and so clean and airy with plenty of room for our family which includes our two sons, their wives and 1 son each. The water was great and the dock for the boat was perfect. The boat ramp only a few miles away made bringing a boat easy. Thank you for sharing your home!
We finally got the whole crew together for a weekend of fellowship and memory making. We loved everything about the home, the location and the owners went above and beyond with answering all my questions throughout the booking process and with all amenities of the home. My granddaughter loved the swimming area. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us. Looking forward to hopefully getting the gang together next year!

Thank you for the kind review. We hope to see you again soon!
This home and lakefront are beautiful and well maintained. The house is one of the most comfortable and roomy that we have stayed in in 16 years of Summer family weekends at Lake Martin. It is convenient to US 280, Alex City, and Dadeville. Plenty of room to bring our boat and the public boat ramp is close by. The ramp and parking lot are paved and in good shape.
The lake view is spectacular and literally steps to the water! The house was well stocked with everything you could think of. We had 8 adults and 2 children that sat comfortably at the kitchen table for meals and game time! The house and the owners were absolutely great and would recommend this home to everyone.

Everything about this place was perfect. Loved the layout of the house, the back porch, and the swimming area. Everything was labeled. Lots of space. Fast communication with any questions. We all definitely recommend John’s place if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful time.
Beautifully maintained high quality home, spotlessly clean with more than enough of everything! The only lake house I've ever given a full 5 stars too - as it was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations.

Alex - thank you for the too- kind comments. We hope that you will consider Sunrise Cove in your future vacation plans. Best Regards, John
Beautiful spot on the lake. Ideal for quiet and privacy with little boat traffic being in the North part of the lake away for the tourist attractions such as Chimney Rock and Goat Island. It was a 40 minute boat ride to get to these things but it was well worth the distance for the location. We were able to tube, ski and swim right off our dock without worry of choppy waters or water craft flying by.

Very nice and clean and good location wish the weather would’ve been better. We were there from April 8, 2024 through the 12th. The weather did not stop all of us from having a great time This is a beautiful location to just hang out even with your friends
This house had all the comforts of home with a wonderful view of the lake! It is located on a quiet part of the lake and is close to a public boat ramp. The house was clean and comfortable for everyone. The kids had their own rec area inside to play games while the adults relaxed in the living room. Response from the owner was quick when we had any questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Mia. We are glad you were able to find the rope swing and had a great stay. We hope to see you at Sunrise Cove again in the future.
Super clean, roomy, comfortable home with everything you need for a multi-family stay. New boat dock is pristine and great for fishing and boat parking. Bonus room for teens or twentysomethings to have a separate space was nice. Master plus 2 other en suite bedrooms gave lots of privacy. Porch area was comfortable with great views. We had a peaceful and memorable week and can't wait to visit Lake Martin again.
