Enjoy waking up to a dramatic sunrise to start your day. Drink that morning cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the water, and keep your eyes open for the magnificent bald eagles that nest in the immediate area. You can play all day on the water or do nothing but relax and soak up some rays. Once the sun goes down enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature as they lull you to sleep or build a campfire in the firepit area located down by the water and roast marshmallows for s'mores.
This side of the lake is much sought after for it's warm water temperature between April and November. The water is clear with a sandy bottom great for swimming. Enjoy excellent skiing and tubing.

We stayed at the Sunshine House for a few days over spring break 2011. What a WONDERFUL vacation! The kids loved jumping off the dock into the water. We all enjoyed the kayaks and took them out each day for hours. The house is small and comfortable with amazingly comfortable beds!! The kitchen is stocked with anything you could possible need, it was great!! We ate outside on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake for every meal. The yard is gorgeous and we played wiffle ball and football, and threw balls to our dog all day long. I loved the yard b/c it has an unobstructed view of the lake and the entire lakefront in back of the house (so I could always see the kids). We had fires at the fire pit every night and the house came with a huge pile of wood for the firepit! The grocery store is 5 minutes away. We caught TONS if fish off the dock and in the lake in front of the house. Shelia and Herb are so easy to work with and are very gracious owners. We will def be back for another vacation:) Great little home in a pristine location on Lake Anna!
Owner response:We're grateful when people tell us what makes their stay at the Sunshine House comfortable and inviting. We love our happy, peaceful little place, are happy to share it, and we're thrilled to know that others enjoy it too. Always happy to have return customers!

I was lucky enough to enjoy a fantastic weekend this winter at the Sunshine House. The location of the house, an easy 2-hour drive from downtown DC, couldn’t have been better. Situated right on the lake with a fantastic dock and fishing spot the views from inside and outside couldn’t have been better. Like the outside, the inside of the house was clean, comfortable and very well maintained. Lastly, dealing with the owners was a breeze. Not only was the original vacation scheduling process simple, the owners graciously accommodated an unexpected change in schedule without a problem. If a long weekend at the Sunshine house was this great during the dead of winter, a summer vacation has to be an absolutely fantastic time.

(I stayed at this property Dec. 31, 2010 - Jan 2, 2011, over New Year's, with five friends.) As soon as we pulled up to this adorable yellow cottage we knew we were in for a treat. The property is right on the lake, with a huge backyard and fire pit down by the water, as well as a dock for boaters. The kitchen was spacious enough for the six of us to sit down to meals comfortably, and a bathroom upstairs AND downstairs was extremely convenient. As we were three couples, the three bedrooms with double beds (and one of them a King) was perfect for us- we all had plenty of privacy, but spent the majority of our time in the large living room playing cards and some of the games provided at the house or watching movies from the house's DVD collection. Additionally, the very reasonable $25 pet fee allowed us to bring our dog along, who had a blast playing in the large backyard and chasing the football around with the boys. The back deck was large as well and perfect for grilling- the table out there would be perfect for playing cards at night in the warmer months, and as the weather was unseasonably warm we spent hours down at the fire pit making s'mores and people/boat watching the lake traffic go by. When we had an emergency (dead car battery on a Sunday!)- the owners were more than accommodating, letting us stay an unscheduled third night so that we had someplace to sleep until the garages opened on Monday morning- and for a fraction of their regular rate. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, group- or family- accommodating house (loved the tropical-themed decorations!), as the six of us never wanted for space, but were each able to have our own private bedrooms as well. The owners were incredibly nice people I would love to do business with again. Thanks for a wonderful New Years' weekend!

We found this place last minute before my niece's wedding and it was a wonderful home! Perfect lake house for kids and dogs. Very comfortable house, beautiful yard and a great dock. We fished a ton and caught lots of large-mouthed bass and catfish. My kids had a great time in the lake - we could hardly get them out in time for the wedding. Wonderful trip and highly recommended property!
Owner response:Thanks, Chase, for the endorsement. That is our goal; to share our special place with people who love the lake and love to have fun there. It is a treat to hear feedback from folks that visit our house and I am happy we were able to accommodate you. That is part of the fun of managing the rentals myself. I've personally had great success renting through VRBO and met some great people (owners) who have helped me in a pinch too. I'm so happy your family enjoyed the getaway and thanks again for taking time to leave feedback!. Sincerely, Shelia

We had a great weekend at Sunshine House October 08. In town for a wedding and it was all we could ask for and more. The view is amazing and the ammentities were above average. We loved the rear deck and the boat dock area. The water was so warm in the lake. We caught some nice large mouth bass from the dock. We were in and out because of going to the wedding and didn't get to spend nearly as much time at the house as we would have liked. I hope we get the chance to rent it again. Maybe a summer week.
