Beautiful Sunset Shores

The house is perfect for family gatherings. Greg, the property manager, is very attentive. However, we were surprised to find that we had to make all the beds ourselves. All the sheets and towels are stored in one closet, so we had to distribute them and make the beds. Additionally, the owner has set a code on all the TVs, which makes it difficult to watch TV. Thankfully, the property manager provided us with the code, but it needs to be entered on each TV every time it’s turned on. I recommend that the owners consider removing the TV code. Overall, the house and amenities are wonderful, and it boasts beautiful views.

Absolutely Fabulous!

We chose this place for a girls trip (age 50-70) and had a blast. The home was perfect and kitchen well stocked for cooking and entertaining. We danced, played tennis, kayaked, walked, used the hot tub, and closed out the evenings by the fire pit. We’ve stayed at several VRBO homes around the country and this place blows away all others.

Tranquil home on beautiful lake Anna. Entire family enjoyed peace, quiet, games, lake, fishing and swimming. Plenty of room for our group of 20 to include half adults and half teens and under and plenty of quiet space to get away from it all. Likely will enjoy this property some day again.

SUNSET SHORES AT LAKE ANNA, Private side

This lakefront home is both stunning and spacious, perfect for a family retreat! The owner has carefully considered every detail to ensure your stay is memorable and comfortable, even for a large group. Our party of 20 had ample space to unwind. The lake view? Simply spectacular. The property features a large pontoon boat for rent at the boathouse. However, the Wi-Fi signal is rather weak, which made streaming games and movies difficult, much to my young grandchildren's dismay. Aside from that, it's an ideal lakeside house! You'll love the size of the bedrooms and closets, refrigerators, freezer and pantry. The lauudnry room is massive. I could go on and on. You will wanto come back again and again.

Well equipped place for friends get together

Large space with lots of beds and bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. We used the boat and boathouse, the fire-pit, the horseshoes and pool table. We cooked all our meals and only went to the store to buy needed items. Great place for a get together based at the house and not going out to restaurants

Great Property for Large Group

We loved this rental! We stayed for a long weekend in April with friends and had a wonderful time. The place was just as pictured, and had a fantastic view. Plenty of room for a large group of people to still be able to spread out. The location is pretty remote but the house has everything you need so you don't need to go anywhere! The property owner was also very responsive through our whole process. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Property!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Sunset Shores. The property is like a resort with so many amenities. The house itself is just beautiful. It is even more lovely than the pictures! It was so large and comfortable and so thoughtfully designed. Our family of 22, from infant to grandparents fit comfortably. The kids really enjoyed the grounds and lake with paddle boards and kayaks. We all enjoyed the pontoon, boat house and fire pit. The owner was very responsive and more than helpful. The property caretaker was immediately responsive and took care of everything. We highly recommend this property! It will exceed your expectations and you will have a lovely time!

Horrible Experience

I do not recommend this property to anyone. The host is very unpleasant to work with and she bullied us after our stay. My father-in-law slipped and fell down a flight of wooden stairs and is currently still in ICU one week later. Several other guests almost fell on the same stairway during our stay. To find an excuse to get more money out of us the host, Jo Ann tried to charge us for bags of trash that she considers (extra bags). I have never heard of a host counting how much trash a LARGE group accumulates. She also said we used excessive water which is not true because there was never more than 20 people taking showers at the house. We paid an excessive “cleaning fee” and we’re still required per the contract to clean the house before we leave (which we did). What’s the purpose of a cleaning fee if YOU, the guest have to clean the house. This experience was horrible and I don’t recommend this property to anyone. The host is heartless and only cares about money. At no time has she offered sincere concern about the near death experience of a guest. Instead she is trying to charge our group “damages” for bags of trash. Go where your business will be appreciated. Worst customer service experience ever. Praying my father in law recovers from his injuries.

It’s A She Thing Ladies Retreat

First I want to start off by giving a high five and a huge THANKS to JoAnn, the host and Greg, the caretaker . They make a great team! The communication is superb! I hosted my last retreat in Bethany Beach last year in which we had a beautiful home and had a blast. But this year my cohost and I decided to try a new location. So I did my usual task of searching and found Lake Anna in which my daughter had rave reviews about the area. So I came upon Sunset Shores which elated me, but shopped around to compare. NOTHING compared to JoAnn’s home. They had some amenities like hers but I kept being drawn to hers, my first instinct. I emailed my daughter the link about this home and all she could say was WOW! The reviews were so inviting! Believe the pics don’t do justice . We booked it right away b/c it books quickly depending on the popular time of year. I made the ladies aware of the location and such to prepare. Many in the group kept say I couldn’t top the last venue we had last year. I said”YES I DID!”I left them to imagine what the home would like until the month before our event in which I sent them a sneak peek of just the front of this home on the lake. I wanted to capture their reactions one by one the day of our arrival. I had seen all of the pics and all of the amenities and I, myself had a WOW factor when I checked in on our big day. AMAZING! To see their faces and expressions as they arrived were priceless!!The furnishings, over the top best kitchen around providing all you need and more-2 ovens, ice machines, lots of refrigerators with drawers even, plenty of seating to accommodate your guests for meals ,beautiful bedrooms with the private bathrooms, balconies/terraces, linens provided, huge bar and movie room , many fun loving activity options as noted that we never had to drive anywhere else for entertainment at all!.We were really impressed and YES we will be back.! You won’t be disappointed at all compared to other homes there. Sincerely, Carolyn, the Retreat Host

About the host

Hosted by Brian M. Castel

Host profile image
I absolutely love Lake Anna and enjoy sharing its beauty with others. As someone who loves to travel, I understand how essential it is to find the perfect accommodation that feels like a home away from home. Hosting allows me to provide guests with a comfortable, relaxing space where they can fully enjoy their time by the lake. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that I’m helping to create memorable experiences for travelers, just as great accommodations have done for me on my own journeys.

Why they chose this property

This property offers one of the widest water views on the private side of Lake Anna, with the added bonus of a peaceful adjacent cove. For us, having a sunset view was a must, and here you’ll enjoy stunning sunsets year-round. The home is perfectly situated to watch the famous Lake Anna 4th of July fireworks from the beach, boathouse, deck, and most rooms in the house. With minimal boat traffic and abundant wildlife, it’s a tranquil retreat. Bald eagles nest nearby, offering incredible sightings, along with Great Blue Herons and the Red-headed Woodpecker that often visits the trees between the house and the lake. We hope you love this property as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Sunset Shores is perfect for multiple families, extended family gatherings, and corporate retreats. Each bedroom offers the luxury of an en suite bathroom and stunning lake views, ensuring every guest enjoys privacy and beautiful scenery. Every room has its own unique charm, with Bedroom 7 featuring a spacious bathroom and a private loft for added comfort.

The 7 bedrooms offer unique touches, such as a private patio for quiet reflection or a steam shower room for relaxation. High-tech features enhance the experience, including whole-house audio, a 120" movie theater, and strong WiFi. The kitchen is designed for hosting memorable meals, and every room was thoughtfully created to showcase beautiful water views, offering an unparalleled lakeside retreat.
