Our visit was well organised and altogether an outstanding experience. We have stayed in a number of Villas across Florida in recent years and this one was by far the best in terms of value, quality as well as location.Everything from enquiry, check in to our day to day living experience was perfect. The big bonus and key differentiators were the kitchen quality, pool size, additional outside patio seating area with BBQ, as well as the jetty for kayaking/fishing on the water.We will definitely look to return.

Wonderful winter retreat

Our second stay at this gem in Apollo Beach. The home and it's amenities are all that and more that you would need for a relaxing getaway. We had great fun in the pool, chilling in the outdoor lanai and kayaking throughout our stay. We even spotted quite a few manatees in the canal way right off the dock. Karen & Dan are wonderful and incredibly considerate hosts.

Wonderful Vacation

We would like to thank Dan and Karen for their excellent communication both before and during our 4 week rental at their beautiful house on the canal. We have rented during the month of March for the past 8 years either in AZ or FL. We especially enjoyed the pool which was kept at 89 degrees throughout our stay. The house had everything we needed both inside and outside. The area was very quiet and local restaurants were very good and close to the house with little traffic. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Perfection!

We spent a week here for spring break and as an early birthday trip for our almost 13 year old twins. Everything was exactly as described and photographed, and more than met our expectations. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything we could need, the pool and back area provided a more than relaxing space, and the dock was great for fishing. We also saw manatees and dolphins. Kayaks were great for getting out on the water. Highly recommend!

Canal, pool & kayaks!

It was so nice to be on the canal and have a view, rather than in a neighborhood surrounded only by roads. We enjoyed watching boats going by; and from the dock, we could actually see across Tampa Bay to St. Petersburg!The house was spotless and equipped with everything one might need. Towels were ample and fluffy, and the bedding was so comfortable. Large screen tvs were definitely a plus for us, as were the kayaks and bikes. Dan & Karen were always available to answer questions, both before our booking and throughout our stay, which was much appreciated.We had a great time and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique stay.

We loved our week long stay at Sunset Villa. The owners have put together a beautiful comfortable place to relax and have family time together. We spent many hours in the pool, chilling in the hammock and kayaking the canalways - even spotting a couple of manatees. This was truly a home away from home - with everything you could need and then some. Communication with the owners was great and instructions/information were clear and organized. Thank you Dan and Karen - we hope to come back soon!

We had a great time at Sunset Villa. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We fished, kayaked and dispite the cooler than average temps, the well heated pool made it possible to swim everyday! My kids appreciated the beach and pool toys, and I loved watching the wildlife and sunsets over the canal. Karen and Dan were great hosts, quick to respond but honestly we needed very little becase that house was so well appointed. We liked the quite neighboorhood, it made a great homebase for our day trips. We would absolutely stay here again, in fact my daughter was ready to move in and never leave!

This home is by far the best rental I have stayed in. The entire property is beautifully decorated indoors and out and so well stocked. The beach equipment, fishing gear, grilling supplies, kayaks and arrival snacks were amazing. We loved the pool and fishing off the dock. My daughter had so much fun spotting manatees and dolphins in the canal everyday. The home is conveniently located close to food options and the beach/park. We also easily made day trips to the Tampa Zoo and Sarasota. The owners were so kind and easy to communicate with. We loved the area and home so much we’ve already booked for next year.

Wonderful Stay!

We were celebrating 2 birthdays and Christmas with my son and his gf. The outdoor space was great for setting up our projector and watching games and movies while enjoying the heated pool. The kayaks were so fun and we even saw a manatee in the canal. The kitchen was nice and open to everything with a huge island we could all sit around, which is exactly what I was looking for. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They even offered to mail back a pair of headphones that my son accidentally left behind. We definitely hope to stay here again in the future. perfect for Florida winter.

Perfect place to unwind.

Karren and Dan are the most gracious host I have ever experienced, candy, snacks and bottles of water after a long day traveling. Knowing we were there to fish, they even had bait on the dock ready for us. Private pool was perfect only steps away from the bedroom door. The ability to keep a boat at the dock is priceless, fishing and boating from right from the back yard, really doesn't get any better than that. The area is quit, and traffic is mild even through spring break. Definitely a place I will be returning to.

Wow! Can't wait to come back!

Our stay was amazing. From the minute you walk through the front door, you feel relaxed. The home is just as listed, newly updated and beautiful inside and out. Our favorite features were the 5 sliders that lead to the pool area and loved that we could still be part of the conversation while cooking in the kitchen. The desk in the bedroom was comfortable to work remotely while my husband spent his time fishing on the dock and kayaking. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and sunsets from the pool, but it was also nice to have a couple good spots close by for some fun and live music. Dan and Karen were responsive and very welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you!
