What a terrific place!! Pictures don't really do it justice. The interior was freshly remodeled and beautifully finished. Pool and patio were very inviting, but we spent most of our time on the dock. Probably 20 hours spent on the bay fishing, sunning, listening to music. it was awesome. My daughter probably caught 30 fish right off the back yard. Including trout, sail cats and even a stingray!! Ha...we released it, but it was a terrific rod-bender.Thanks Jackie!!

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO! The property was exactly what we were hoping for—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located right on the bay. Waking up to the water views each morning was so peaceful, and the sunsets were absolutely beautiful. Jacqueline was such a gracious host and made sure all our needs were met!!The pool was a huge highlight for our family—well-maintained, private, and perfect for relaxing after a day out. Everything about the home felt thoughtfully set up, from the amenities to the overall layout.We truly felt at home here and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing stay with both a pool and waterfront views. We will definitely be back!

We spent ten wonderful days at Sunset House. The home is beautiful and well appointed. It was wonderful having two master suites. The views are gorgeous - especially at sunset when you can see dozens and dozens of birds flying to wherever they spend the night. The location can’t be beat - quick drive to multiple restaurants and the manatees at Three Sisters Springs. Unfortunately for us, the crazy cold weather meant we couldn’t enjoy the pool or much kayaking. Finally, Jackie, our host, could not have been more helpful and responsive. The Sunset House is highly recommended.
