The home is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and well appointed. It easily handled our family of 8-10 with zero issues. The views are to die for, and the back deck will be your new favorite place for morning coffee or sunset meals. The owner was helpful, and easy to work with.

The outdoor space was perfect for grilling, dining and enjoying sunsets. The boys had fun fishing off the dock and playing poker at the game table. The neighborhood was safe and great for walking/jogging. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5e1473cf-7891-4dbf-99df-2012a2733f4d-1753299719724.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### pamela j.

I had a few friends and close family in town for my wedding at Sunset Harbour. Martin, our host, was extremely responsive and answered all my questions before we arrived. The view of the water was amazing, and it was a great place to mingle in between my busy schedule. We didn't get to use the hot tub since we were so busy, but I guess that means my husband and I will just have to return sometime soon! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/946bd632-d077-46bd-930e-fb72159d5e21-1759073438046.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c38a58a-af1d-44ab-9f6d-74f627ca55a2-1759073440699.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![This swan came super close to the deck.
