Great Multi Family Stay on the Lake in Fall

Three families with 5 kiddos enjoyed all this waterfront property had to offer. Two of the brave ones even jumped in the lake! The ninja line and sand pit were hits! Parents enjoyed being able to relax on the deck and watch kiddos from above. I bet this house is amazing in the summer months!

Great Hosts

We had a great time at the property. The house is a great fit for our family. The hosts are very responsive and message back very promptly if you were to have any questions. We have so much fun at the dock swimming and using paddleboards. There is the boat rental very close by also if you are looking into renting a boat. The sandy beach area is great for our kids that are in the 6-9 year old range. We had a great stay!

Great place to stay! We loved all the room on the boat dock. The home and property was well maintained and clean. Plus the use of the kayaks and paddle boards were a great feature also. We’re hoping to make it back again next year we enjoyed it that much!

Another fabulous stay!

My fourth stay at Sunshine Cove and we still love it! We rented a boat for most of our time there and as we looked at other houses on the lake we kept saying over and over how ideal "our" dock was in comparison to the others we saw. Already looking to book again :)

Fabulous Holiday Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Sunshine Cove. The property was wonderful - clean, well-stocked, comfortable, nicely decorated and a good layout for multiple families. We spent the majority of our time at the dock swimming, floating, kayaking, fishing and watching football. I would highly recommend, and we will be back for sure. Thanks for hosting us Dan & Megan.

Responsive Owner, Nice Property, Lots of Rules

Property is well equipped for time on the lake and hosting meals at home. We had some issues with the property regarding cleanliness, broken toilet and some minor broken items. Owner was responsive to all. Based on other places we rented, we found the rules extensive and be prepared for the owner to remind you multiple times of the rules before and during your stay. Also be prepared to give personal details of your guests, to make your own beds, clean the floors, pack all linens and towels for the cleaners and coordinate directly with housecleaner. For us, it took away from the holiday experience.

Amazing location and boathouse!

The house was laid out perfectly. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. The boathouse was roomy and allowed us to have 2 boats and 2 jet skis for the week. We spent everyday there…swimming, kayaking, and just jumping in the water. Nice quite cove but less than a minute to the open lake. House was very clean and suited our family perfectly. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful stay

We live a few hours away from Lake Anna and have never been before so we decided to make a long weekend stay and we’re not disappointed! The house was spacious for our family of seven and had plenty of things to do. We weren’t able to enjoy the dock too much as the weather was cold but we did get to try a little fishing and hang out on the dock. We had a blast playing each other in ping pong and sitting by the fireplace. We plan on returning in the summer!

Spring break

Had a wonderful time with kids and grandkids over spring break (they're teachers). Weather was unseasonably warm this time of year so we really got to enjoy the boathouse and kayaks. The owners have all the bells and whistles outside. Thought of all the details ... which our Type A family fully appreciated. Everyone loved it!

Great house on the lake

This was our 4th time staying at this house. It is the perfect house for our family. Walk down to the lake is an easy walk for my 80 year old parents. The new steps to climb out of the lake was a great improvement. They are more like steps instead of the ladder they use to have. House is always clean and has everything we need. Megan and Dan always respond to any questions we have quickly. Already booked for summer of 2024!

Life at the lake

Lovely property and home. We enjoyed lounging on the dock and with an 8 mo old baby with us it was a nice protected area for him to crawl around. We adults especially liked the bar and fridge to keep our snacks and beverages in. We only wish the rack holding the water vessels wouldn’t have been on the beach. We have four grandchildren who wanted to play in the sand and that was in the way. We loved the screened in porch and the rec room in the basement. If we would have known how private it was we would have brought the kid’s bikes. The only complaint we would have is the barking dog next door and the bugs on the outside of the patio door. Other than that, and the couple days of rain ☔️ 😩 we had a wonderful time!!!!

Loving the Lake Life!

This was our first lake vacation. We typically think of ourselves as "beach people", but we had such a wonderful stay at Sunshine Cove that the lake life may be it moving forward! This property is perfectly nestled in a private gated street and a quiet lot sloping down to the water. There is a plethora of indoor and outdoor games. The house is beautifully maintained and is completely updated. I enjoyed the open kitchen and the double oven was an unexpected bonus! We visited during the Fall and enjoyed sitting down on the dock letting the boys fish and watching tv (internet available as well!) In the afternoon we enjoyed playing lawn games and at night loved the firepit on the downstairs patio. Also really enjoyed the indoor gas fireplace to relax while dinner was cooking. Would highly recommend this property to anyone. We loved it so much that we'd like to make it a yearly tradition. The owners were very responsive and we wouldn't have changed a thing!

Beautiful "Lake" House

We, a party of 6 adults (60), had a bit of an issue with the cleanliness condition upon arrival, but the owners were quick to respond, and take care of most issues. Do note that the second king on master is 2 twins strapped together. Also, no TV. No TV in upstairs bedrooms, either. If you are a light sleeper, you may hear a lot of foot steps, and the sliding door from the spacious downstairs suite. I guess you must keep in mind that this is a Large Lake House, so its difficult to clean every area, and by the lake webs and bugs are hard to control. All being said, we would probably visit again or recommend it to our friends. We had a lot of fun on the dock, and I think this is the perfect place for a family with kids, etc. A lot of activities, games, etc. The immediate area, there didn't seem like there was any place to go. The nearest country store (country gas station mart) 15 min. away, best to stop at Food Lion, before getting to house, for food and essentials (30 min) Beds, towels, linens, all comfy.

The best lake vacation!

This was our 4th lake vacation in the past 4 years and this was by far the best. The house itself is beautiful. It is well maintained, was very clean and even though there are houses beside you it feels very private. The kitchen is well stocked, crockpot, blenders, plenty of bake and cook ware, grilling tools etc. There was a spice cupboard with salt, pepper, cinnamon. Old bay etc which was helpful. Loved having multiple refrigerators for space. The bed rooms were all spacious with comfortable beds. Bathrooms were very clean and nice, no complaints at all. Having laundry on site with kids is also wonderful. The linens were nice quality (I loved the bath towels). Back deck was trex like deckingr which means no splinters, basement walk out patio was also nice. TONS of outside games, canjam, corn hole etc. We used the adult kayaks and the kid kayaks and even tried the stand up paddle boards. All equipment was in great shape. We rented a boat for 2 days and docked it there, had no problem getting in or out of space. .now the best part, the boat house. It is wonderful. There are fun patio lights at night. A tv with surround speakers for pandora radio or watching a football game. The furniture is comfortable, there is also a bar and fridge which was great for drinks and dockside lunch! Our kiddos loved the sandy beach area, they made friends with the owl and made endless sand castles and found buried treasure. We used the life jackets provided and the rafts for swimming in the lake, they were also in great condition. All of the TVs have Netflix and pandora. We logged into our own Hulu or Disney+ when needed. Plenty of activity inside for our one partial rainy day and space for everyone to spread out. We appreciated all of the labeling of light switches, drawers etc, the extra hand soap, dishwashing tabs, toilet paper and the restaurant recommendations. We definitely want to come back and will recommend Sunshine Cove to anyone! The owners were quick to respond to any of our concerns (where should we order pizza from haha)

Fantastic lake house at LKA

This is a great house with great amenities on a great little no wake cove. We loved it. The house itself is clean and well kept with more than enough room for 8 of us (6 adults + 2 teens). The basement ping pong and other games entertained us thru the week. Plenty of eating area inside and out. But the dock is the star. Fifty feet at most from the house. Awesome space to hang out, swim, have a beer (if that’s your thing:), relax and read a book, or take out the boat (gotta rent your own). And the provided kayaks and SUPs were very nice and easy to use with the small beach area. The no wake cove was very relaxing and safe for everyone to swim around. If there were any minor quibbles, the AC in the main floor bedrooms was a little weak with bedroom doors closed (but totally manageable) and the grill probably needs a deep clean after a summer of use, but seriously these are MINOR quibbles. We would happily stay here again and are already plotting how to make that work for next summer. A wonderful house. Thank you!
