The Sunshine Retreat was clean, well maintained and tastefully decorated. The ice maker and pool was a nice touch and would really come in handy in the hot summer months. There was plenty of room and playthings for a larger group and a private pier with fishing and crabbing equipment.

Cousins Long Weekend Vacay
We loved our stay at cozy Sunshine Retreat! The home was very clean and cool when we arrived, and the check-in and stay instructions were on point. The beachy decorations and plentiful supplies (coffee, spices, cleaning goods, etc.) were greatly appreciated and made us all feel at home. The owner was very communicative and quick to respond to all contacts throughout the rental process. We'll definitely be back!
