I don't remember when I have been so relaxed. My kids and grandkids had a really fun week. The house was great. Sunsets amazing. My granddaughters loved the pool and my grandson fished on the pier everyday. The house had so many little extras that made it feel like home. The location was superb. Close to everything. Keith & Katie thank you. We will be back. The Brittingham's

Great House and Wonderful Location

We just returned from a week long stay at the Sunset House. Our group was two couples and two small children and we had a wonderful time. The house had plenty of the necessities: garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels, beach towels, and some great extras like coffee and spices. We enjoyed the sunshine and pool each day and were always on the lookout for dolphins (we saw quite a few). Keith was so nice and made us feel right at home during our stay. I hope we will be able to return. Suggestions: go to a local fish market and grab some jumbo shrimp, season them up and grill right at the house Bayside Grille has great pizza and cheap drinks Sanibel Island was a fun day excursion What a great vacation!!!

Owner response:Thank you. What great guests we continue to have. Come on down, you will love it too........

We were very satisfied with the house and its furnishings and accommodations and accessories and lack of too many rules. The owner came over personally and was very nice and informative and helpful. I only wish it had 4 bedrooms so we could invite another couple next year, which we would love to do. But the sunsets and flocks of birds flying overhead every evening were what aptly named the house. Wonderful!

Owner response:Again, thank you.....We love our guests!!!! Hope to see you all again next year.....

Family Wedding Vacation

From beginning to end the stay was enjoyable. From the fully stocked kitchens & bathrooms to the pool & spa everything I had forgot to bring was already there (including the sunset). The sunset house exceeded all of our expectations! We enjoyed a family vacation as well as a wedding and could not have chosen a better location to host it all. Two thumbs up to this amazing place!

Our 5th year this March!

We were so fortunate to choose Sunset House for our vacation during the first season it was avaliable, so fortunate that we haven't stayed anywhere else since! The location is terrific and we are able to walk to many restaurants, shops and the beach within 15-20 minutes (some closer); although we have a hard time finding a place we'd rather be than out on the deck, grilling some fresh off the boat fish from the market down the street. The sunsets, pool, location and water views are exceptional and the house itself is upscale yet comfortable. However, what brings us back every year is the obvious care and attention that is lavished on this property, as well as it's guests. Each year we notice the small (and large) details that have been upgraded and tended to that are designed to make the experience just that much better. It is clear that the comfort and enjoyment of every guest is first and foremost and the only thing that surpasses this wonderful home and the many amenities it offers, is the warmest of welcomes that comes with it. Keith and Katie, we look forward to seeing you again next spring and thanks for allowing us to feel like your home is our "home away from home" for a little bit each year.

Owner response:5 years. Wow, time flys when we are having fun. You won't be dissapointed when you arrive in March, new wood flooring in upstairs bedrooms, new metal roof, new lighting throughout the house. Can't wait to see you guys. Happy Holidays!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FAMILY VACATION TO DATE. The pictures you provided via e-mail were so beautiful, we knew this was the place for us to "run away" to (if just for awhile). There was plenty of room for the kids and they sure enjoyed the pool. You did a marvelous job with the renovations. It truly reflects in the quality of your home. The location of the house was extremely convenient to everything. Shopping, Beach, Restaurants, Boating. Althought it rained (stormed) everyday, we still managed to do everything we planned on seeing and doing. Thank You for letting us stay in your beautiful Oasis....Until we meet again. Ross and Debbie

Owner response:Thank you for the great review. We are in the process today of installing new wood flooring in the upstairs bedrooms, painting, and new metal roof. More improvements to come this fall.....To all future guests, we love it here and are sure you will too.....

Our vacation at Sunset House was simply the best! I spent several weeks looking for just the right place for our summer vacation and coming here blew us away! We are a pretty well traveled family and have stayed in many beautiful places; this was .... special. Everyday, one of us said - we're coming back here! Anything we needed, Keith had it covered from bug spray to fabric softner to yummy candles, gourmet coffee and chocolates! The house and landscaping are pretty, pretty, pretty! Sunsets, breathtaking! It was cool looking across at the city every night. And we had visits from manatee and dolphins EVERY single day =) A friend from Fort Myers come over and stayed a couple of nights in the totally awesome apartment downstairs, right away she was putting pics on Facebook. This house is close to everything - go to Doc Fords and Sanibel beach for sure! aaahhhh, I love it here! Next time, I'm bringing my Mom and sister's. Thank you Keith

Owner response:Again, thanks for the great review.......We love them. You will love Sunset House too.......Come on down.....

Absolutely Nothing Disappointing About Sunset House!

My family and I can not express enough how wonderful Sunset House was. The pictures on the website do not do Sunset House and the surrounding property justice. The house was immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. The pool was refreshingly clean and a blast for all of us. We loved the multicolor "disco" pool light at night. Everything you need for a nice relaxing vacation can be found in the house. Keith, the owner, even came by to check on how we were doing and to see if everything was going well, which was very nice. He was accessible 24/7, though it was not necessary to contact him because everything was perfect at the house. I took my coffee to the pier every morning in hopes of seeing dolphins or manatees, and I was NOT disappointed. I saw dolphins every morning just lazily swimming by the pier. What a wonderful site. The sunsets, from anywhere in the back of the house, including laying on a raft in the pool, were amazing. The house is about a 20 min walk into town and very close to outlet shopping, tons of great restaurants, Ft Myers beaches, etc... We even took an airboat ride in the Everglades which was only an hour away (just past Naples). What a blast we had on this vacation. Such a blast that we plan on coming back next year. Thanks for a great time, Keith.

Owner response:Thank you for the great review. We await your return and welcome all guests considering Sunset House for your next fabulous vacation. We love it here, and are sure you will too.......

Upon arriving at Sunset house we were amazed at how beautiful and well decorated the house was, also at how very well equipped it is. It is the perfect place for a family getaway or reunion. The sunset views were breath taking and we even got to see DOLPHINS swimming by!! If there is anything that you would think you need to make yourself feel at home this house has it and much much more!!! Keith thank you so very much for opening your beautiful home to our family for this very special occasion. Sunset House will forever be a part of our family. Already trying to figure out dates for next years visit!!! This house is a true gem. Lorena and Will Gonzalez and the rest of the NYC bunch!! See you soon!!!!

Owner response:Thank you for your kind remarks. Sunset House is our personal beach home, we take pride in making our guests welcome and comfortable....Hope to see you all again next year for your anniversary....
