The house was amazing! Will be back defiantly!
relaxing felt like home
This property was amazing, the house, the grounds, the lake! It was a home away from home for sure! Such a comfortable house, with everything you would think about needing! Patricia and Steve left a welcome basket for us and our dogs!! Very thoughtful! We would stay here again!! It was a great Fathers Day trip! Thank you!!
This secluded home set near a tranquil lake was a fantastic base for our stay in Orlando!
It was a beautiful quiet and peaceful location. We were greeted by our host and shown the property. We felt very welcomed. If we didn't have activities planned we would have been ok to just stay at the home and relax. We would love to stay there on our next visit to Florida.
Our family of 5 had a fabulous week! The house was immaculate and cozy! The pool and lake are beautiful and so much fun! The owners treated us like guests! I highly, highly recommend staying here!!
Our stay at this house was very comfortable and relaxing and is located in a quiet neighbourhood. The house was exceptionally clean, the kitchen was well stocked, the beds and furniture were comfortable. The pool area was inviting and had many floating devices and the lanai was nice if you wanted shade . A short stroll to the lake was a bonus as we took advantage of the beauty of the sunsets. Just as important to our kids, the wifi was great. We enjoyed the airboats 25 minutes away and stopped for a walk on the boardwalk of the Orlando Wetlands on our way back to the house. It is located less than an hour to Cocoa Beach and 30 minutes from the outlet mall. There is plenty to do in the area if you wish. Communication with Patricia and Steve was easy with quick response. They asked for written suggestions on how our stay could have been better but there was nothing negative to say...this place is 5+ stars
Our stay at Sunset Retreat...was indeed a wonderful retreat...private yet close to town, serene with nice pond, nice pool and hot tub. The layout of the house was efficient and in great working order. Host Patricia has made an informative 3 ring binder guide for the property, sightseeing, restaurants etc. and I referenced it numerous times. We and our 3 teenage sons very much enjoyed our stay. Wifi was good for teenagers. The best compliment I can give our hosts and property is that we would easily come back if we vacation in Florida again. Thanks for a memorable vacation.
My husband and I spent a wonderful relaxing two weeks at Sunset Retreat. The house lives up to its name with beautiful sunsets viewed from the dock, and the perfect retreat to relax in with everything one could need. We walked into the home and felt a sense of spaciousness and peace and were very impressed with how spotlessly clean the home was. I'd like to thank the housekeeper for such a great job! The kitchen is nice and airy with everything one would need to cook although we mainly used the bbq to cook meals. Patricia and Steve left a basket of wine and goodies to welcome us which was such a lovely gesture. They are very gracious hosts and were available to answer any questions or assistance. We loved sitting outside in the patio and the heated pool was perfect to cool off during the hot days we had. The back yard is large with trees and shrubs and you can take a stroll on the path from there to the dock to sit and relax or take a canoe ride around the lake. There is nothing we lacked in the home and it did feel like home. Its situated in a quiet area yet only a 3 minute drive to the grocery store. We took trips to NASA, the Arnold Palmer Tournament in Orlando, air boat rides, and Blue Springs State Park and all were within an easy 20 to 60 minute drive from the home. We would definitely love to come back to stay but this time I think we need to come for longer!!
Perfect house with all amenities you could ask for. This was the best vacation house we have ever had. Close to attractions like Kennedy Space Center and Disney. Fishing and/or just relaxing at the lake was the best and very relaxing. Recommend this vacation home 100% for anyone that wants to relax and still see the sights. We traveled with our 17 year old twins and they loved it as much as we did.
Good fishing. We caught and released our fish. Caught one walking cat fish and those should be destroyed. We released before we knew it was an invasive species. The fish feeder works great.
This property was immaculate and in a pretty private setting. We will most definitely stay there again. You can tell the owners really care about this property.
The home was beautiful and well kept. Everything we needed was on the property and the owners made it really feel like it was your home for the time you were there. Highly recommend this property and I would definitely stay there again.
As a native Floridian, Sunset Retreat was just what we needed to remind us of the beauty of Florida! Named approximately because the evening sky’s do not disappoint! We live in Texas now and it was so nice to enjoy the evenings fishing at the dock, canoeing and soaking in the hot tub after busy days out exploring. The tropical and spacious setting of the backyard leading down to the water is beautiful. The home was fully equal with absolutely everything and very clean! It took about 30 minutes to the things we wanted to visit in Orlando and 40-50 minutes to the east coast beaches. Tucked nicely away for you to enjoy some serenity at the end of each day. We spent 10 glorious days and would highly recommend! Thank you for providing me with a place to reminisce of my childhood and life living in central Florida.
Me and 2 teenagers had a great time. We enjoyed the property, pool, canoeing, and fishing off the dock. There was plenty of room and the host was friendly and available for any questions we had. Great value and we had a great stay!
Patricia is a fantastic host! The property was super clean, there were many extras included, check-in was very personal and concise. The pool was amazing the lake views were awesome. The area is very nice, we felt super safe, and it felt private and was so quiet. I highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!
This property meets everyone’s desires for a family vacation! We loved fishing in canoes in the lake right before sunset. This property definitely lived up to its name “sunset retreat” there were gorgeous! House was very clean and the home owners were just a call or text away with any questions. Wonderful people! I would highly recommend this rental and if we are back in the area I’d love to rent this again!
From the check in day, throughout the stay, and the check out process—everything was perfect. The property is absolutely gorgeous! Watching the sunset at the lake from the private dock was our favorite. The pool and spa were clean and wonderful for a relaxing vacation. The host Patricia answered all of our questions promptly and keeps an immaculate home. Would absolutely 100 percent recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation retreat.
We were visiting family in the area and had such a great experience at Sunset Retreat! The house was spacious and clean, the pool area and dock relaxing, and the hosts responsive and accommodating! Patricia and Steve made us feel like the property was truly our home away from home for the week. Already want to book our next stay!
