This property was outstanding! The house had everything we could have needed for our two families (kids ages 12-16). The dock was huge and the cove was perfect! It felt like we had a private cove! We rented a boat & tube for a few days which made it that much more fun for kids and adults! Fireworks were set off across from our dock- viewing was awesome!
Only negative was that the AC wasn’t working on our 2nd day. Cindy was so helpful and we only had to endure one hot night (which over the July 4th weekend was impressive) before it was fixed. The house was very clean and the kitchen was extremely organized and had everything you could have needed!! The kids loved their space in the basement too! Would absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed the privacy of the property. I came for the hot tub and a view. It did not disappoint. The check-in location is 25 mins away from the actual home. Check-in is at 4pm and they close at 5pm. This was a bit stressful for us with young kids. Check-out requires that you clean, dry, and put away all dishes rather than running them in the dishwasher. With a 10am check-out, that was extremely stressful trying to get through breakfast after such a relaxing time. t would make a huge difference to allow guests to leave dishes running in the dishwasher like most places.

We had 5 adults ranging 60-29 and 2 children 4yr and 18 mo. The house was very spacious, lovely and extremely clean on private cove and perfectly sized for our family-particularly when kiddies go to bed before adults. Our little ones were able to wear 'swimmies' and wade in right off the beach when they weren't playing in the sand. We spent so much time on the dock and in the water! You can even fish off the dock. We didn't catch any biggies but we did see a few along the edges under the foliage.
Such a great place. We would rent again.
Recommendations for future renters:
1)Rent a pontoon boat (and of course a tube to pull for adventurous folks-60 y/o and 4 y/o did just fine)from Midlantic Water Sports (great place btw) that is a quick 5 minute drive away and dock it at the home. We rented for 3 days and that was plenty. Drive it to Cocktail Cove to wade in the beautiful warm water. Fish where they suggest. You WILL catch!
2)Bring all of your paper products and cooking spices with you. There was very little left in the home.
3)Bring a float or 3 or noodles and any outdoor toys kiddies might need. There were a couple floats left maybe by the previous renters but from reviews they are not typically there.
4) Lakes are not typically my thing so I wore water shoes but my family said the bottom was not too 'squishy'.
5) Catch as many sunsets you can from the dock or the deck. House named 'Sunset Serenity' for a reason. Amazing!

This is a beautiful property on a picture perfect location. It was our second stay at Sunset Serenity and we will likely be back.
The only drawback is the pick up and drop off of the key at the realtor. A key box would definitely be much much more convenient.

Yearly tradition
We have stayed at this property twice so far and plan on continuing to come back every summer. We spend every day outside fishing, swimming and brought our kayaks this year! My 3 year old daughter loves the sandy beach, wading in the water and watching all of the fish. The kitchen is amazing and we have had some great cookouts. Plenty of space for people to spread out and we have lots of fun with the boardgames, foosball and air hockey tables of it happens to rain.

This was a wonderful house with a really wonderful beach! The teens loved the big basement area with game tables, and we all loved the hot tub. Great grill and deck. Here's our few complaints: The master bedroom is right over the basement "rec room" and the house is not at all soundproof. The owners left no water toys of any kind (tubes, kayaks, rafts, etc.) which would have been nice to have. It's a great dock and beach. Other good things: wifi was great. Very well-stocked kitchen with every utensil and pan you could need. 2 great refrigerators kept us in plenty of ice. Lovely bathrooms. Loved the living room that looks out over the lake. It was a great experience.

As expected
Great location on the water (about 20 minutes from restaurants and the grocery store). The boat dock and sand area were great for fishing and for the kids to play. Make sure you have lots of citronella candles! The only negative is the check-in/check-out process. It’s almost an hour round-trip to the management office so it would’ve been nice to avoid that. But the house itself was great and exactly as advertised.

Our family of nine spans three generations ages one to fifty-one, and it was the ideal location for our lake getaway! The house is clean, updated and exactly as advertised. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. Kitchen is very well-equipped. The flat lot offers plenty of space to play games or just lounge with your toes in the water. The view is to die for and never gets old. We rented a boat for the day from LKA Watersports and enjoyed an amazing day on the water. We look forward to booking our next stay!

The rental process and experience was very good and the staff was friendly and responsive. We had to pay a little extra for an earlier check-in time, but seeing the joy and excitement on everyone’s faces was so worth it!

This was a gorgeous house! We had 9 adults and a 3 year old. The kitchen was fully stocked, the dining room table and couches were big enough for the whole family, and the bedrooms were nice. Outside; the boat house was perfect for hanging out, the beach and shallow water was great for little ones and perfect for putting kayaks in. We didn't leave much because of covid, but we didn't need or want to. Amazingly peaceful!

Our stay was awesome, if I had to dig down and find a complaint it would be the water was a bit too warm. But that isn't the house's issue it is a Lake Anna thing.

Amazing House and Location
We can't say good enough things about this beautiful home! Everything was as described and it was even better in person. The well maintained, organized and fully stocked kitchen was exceptional. The views, the landscaping, the beach, the dock, the amenities were perfect and we all had the best time. Showers were great, beds/furniture were comfortable and there was plenty of space for all 13 of us. We will absolutely be back!!

Our trip was two families with 6 kids between us. We all had a fantastic time. House layout was great. Dock was phenomenal and the view was perfect. Overall great stay. We wish check in was keyless and on-site, and one neighbor is alittle closer than expected but does not detract much. Trash is offsite but very close (3 minutes) and is a drop and drive location.

This was a very nice house and we loved the stay. No Complaints about the property at all. We did NOT enjoy taking out the trash, they don't communicate that ahead of time (when you're booking) and the check-in office is about 20 minutes further than the actual house which makes it 40 minutes out of the way, not the best.

Peaceful retreat with amazing views
My family met here for a long weekend and ended up choosing a weekend where everything was covered in snow! It made for a beautiful drive and a nice weekend relaxing inside by the fire. The house was perfectly set-up for our family of six adults and two infants. We were able to spread out when we needed and be together at the table or on the couch. We're looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the beach and the lake. The only downside which is mentioned in other reviews is that you have to pick-up and drop-off keys at the rental office which was about 20 minutes out of the way for us.

All were very impressed with this house. It was very clean and the location was wonderful. The layout was perfect for a family with children. The family room has a foozeball game and an air hockey game which the kids loved. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want. The hot tub is a nice way to relax on a cold winter weekend. We had a miscommunication about linens but the managers were prompt to get it straightened out even though it was after hours .Would love to come back in the summer because the sandy beach was very inviting!

Great Stay!
The house was great and accommodated a good amount of people. Views were absolutely beautiful off the lake! We went on a holiday weekend, which made check-in/obtaining the keys a bit more difficult because the office was closed, but all in all it was a fairly easy process following the directions. One thing to note was that the room with the bunk bed advertised a queen bed, however it was actually a full sized bed. So overall, there was one king, two queens, two fulls, and one bunk (full on bottom and twin on top). We were disappointed with that misleading piece of information, however we made it work. The kitchen had a fantastic amount of utensils, pots, pans, etc. which made cooking very manageable! We're already looking for our next opportunity to return to this house for our next stay.

Loved it!
House was great and very clean and well stocked! Having to go pick up and drop off the key was a bit out of the way and would have preferred a key box or keypad entry. Would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely property
The house was clean and lovely and had a beautiful view of Lake Anna. We want to come back in the summer! We enjoyed our stay!
Check in/check out are a little more complicated than need be (most homes I've rented have just had some sort of pad-lock on the door, and not required you to pick up and drop off keys at a separate office location), but otherwise, a positive experience all around!

A working getaway
My family and my sister's family met together for a week to get a different environment for a while. We were all still working/attending school, so we wanted a place that we could relax and have fun, but also still get something done.
This house was fantastic. The teenagers were able to play games (foosball, air hockey, horseshoes) and hang out, and we all managed to get work done too. (Maybe a little less than normal, but that was expected.)
The house was very clean, and the furnishings are in good shape and very comfortable. We enjoyed lounging together in the evening on the big couches.
The dock is beautiful, and the screened porch out there is a great touch. We got some amazing sunset photos--true to the property's name.
We enjoyed walking the neighborhood some. The only thing would have hoped for is somewhere walkable that our teenagers could have gone to buy junk food. Of course, that has nothing to do with the home, it's just personal preference.
