This house is stunning and very secluded. We were there four nights to celebrate a friends 40th birthday and it did not disappoint. Four adult couples and a baby and we each had our own room with bathrooms within. The sunset from the pool was unbelievable each night. We swam, used kayaks and floated in ocean. If you plan to walk into ocean from private beach I would recommend water shoes. We did not utilize the game room because we had perfect weather and spent the whole trip outside around pool/beach. The house was spotless and had all supplies we needed for cooking throughout our stay. We did need to purchase more dish soap, garbage bags and toilet paper. On arrival we had our few hiccups. Vacasa happened to be at property thank goodness. We were told no early check in with a baby and found it odd that all the water was off as the owner thought we were coming the day after. They had said no early check in as cleaners would be there but how was all the water off? We also had no A/C on top level for maybe two hours, not a bit deal just combined with water and a few plumbing issues (water resolved almost immediately and broken toilet/sink fixed next day) was a small let down for price of house. Friday morning around 8 am a woman appeared in the house to “check the fire extinguishers”. This was a surprise no one mentioned. nothing beats the location and views of this for us. It was perfect for the relaxing trip we needed and about 25 from key west for night out and airport.

The house is nice, although is surrounded by swampy area, it’s the only house on the water for miles, I’m assuming is hard to build in this type of land. The listing doesn’t show the aerial pictures, you get the address 2 days before your stay. Also, the house only provides coffee and soap; dish, hand and laundry soap, and not enough for 4 people staying for 5 days. The paper towel and toilet paper were very low quality, didn’t expect it for the type of house we rented. They didn’t provide any spices, not even salt and pepper, be prepare to go to the store and buy everything. The game room is very nice, and they also have pool toys for the kids. They have cameras outside, which we didn’t think it was appropriate. Overall we had a good time, but it didn’t meet our expectations.

Pictures are 100% accurate!!! Only problem with this home is the road it’s on, when it rains it floods, and the 2 main level bedrooms would not cool like the rest of the house. Had to place a fan in the doorway of one room to cool it down.other than that had a great time

This home was amazing! We felt like we were at a private resort. There are pool floaters, fishing poles, snorkel gear, and kayaks there waiting for you. We had a couple of activities scheduled, but ended up cancelling some because our kids didn’t even want to leave the house.

Close enough to everything, and far enough for total privacy. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time, house was lovely. Only thing keeping it from a 5 is the fact that while on the ocean, you really can’t swim in the ocean as it’s too shallow. We couldn’t get the Bluetooth speakers by the pool to work.
House is very remote but there are a few restaurants nearby which are great. We drove to key west for dinner a number of times, easy 20 minute drive.

We really enjoyed the location and views of this gorgeous property. The layout and amenities that it has to offer are second to none. Only reason for a little lower review, is the maintenance of the property…. Several loose tiles in the showers and warped / damaged baseboards in restrooms. Also the outdated / not working grill. Given the cost per night/ week, these items really need to be addressed.

I really enjoyed the privacy , no busy neighborhoods, quiet and secluded location.
House is very well designed and decorated. Private beach, and onsite pool makes this place a really special. Just a short drive to the Key West with it’s restaurant’s and busy bar's. We’ll definitively be back for the longer stay.

I am sitting at the airport waiting to fly back home, so this is a good time to review while the stay is fresh in my mind. First of all, the house is spectacular. Beautiful house and a beautiful setting. However, the property management is terrible. The house is NOT stocked with very basic items that a family staying would need, and some things were broken and did not work. Examples of things not included are garbage bags, coffee filters, salt, pepper and other basic spices for cooking, decent knives, laundry soap, vacuum, tissues, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and Tupperware. Additionally, the shower in the master bathroom was broken, as was the kitchen faucet. What we learned from a neighbor is that the house is most often rented out as a wedding venue, which explains why so many of the very basic necessities are missing. Not to mention that I messaged Vacasa 3 times with no response during the week.
At the end of the day, the house is beautiful, but you will have to find a grocery store for some of the very basic items that are necessary for a week-long stay.

Our family of 8 adults thoroughly enjoyed the week. Beautiful spaces for rest, relaxation and play. The pool and hot tub were as spectacular as they look in the pictures, and the beachy ocean access was a great place for corn hole games, lounging in the sun and fishing - so quiet and secluded. We rented paddle boards for a few days to explore a little further out around the shore. The game room is one of the best amenities - it was the perfect place to hang out together after dinner for loads of fun. Key West is only a short drive so you can get your party fix. There are many closer places for great meals though. We loved having lunch at Mangrove Mama’s just around the corner, and for a great steak dinner don’t miss Grill - just north on Rt 1.

We gathered our children and grandson for a week and were totally thrilled with this home. It is beautiful and has everything an active family would want. One section of the pool has a bench seat all the way around which was perfect for little kids to walk around. We loved the beach and the salt water pool. It was fun to snorkel in that area, especially at night when crabs and other critters were out walking around. We rented kayaks and enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. The huge seating area under the house was perfect for enjoying the beauty of the yard while sitting on comfortable furniture in the shade. We loved the nightly sunsets and the game room. I highly recommend this home.

Fabulous Setting and Vacation
Our stay at Villa of the Setting Sun was wonderful. The house is stunningly beautiful and perfectly secluded for a peaceful vacation. The furnishings and kitchen appointments are all high end and fitting of a luxury rental. We enjoyed all the house had to offer, beach and pool lounging and time in the game room. There is ample outdoor lounge and dining seating.
We rented paddle boards and a tandem kayak for the week (keykayak.com). Very convenient as they delivered and picked up. There is easy access to the water from the house and plenty of area to explore. Sugarloaf Key is just the vibe we were after, not crowded or touristy yet an easy 30 min drive to Key West for a visit. Don't miss Blue Heaven for breakfast in Key West. One day we traveled to Islamorada for a backcountry fishing experience with Captain Drew of Fishy Business Islamorada. Definitely a fun experience, and we enjoyed taking our catch to the Shrimp Shack and having them cook it for us. Locally, we enjoyed dinner at South of the Seven, and the Cuban bagel at Baby's Coffee is not to be missed.
Vacasa and the level of attention they provided was impressive. We did have a few issues (AC and pool related), but Vacasa had someone out to address the issues within the hour. We wouldn't hesitate to book another Vacasa property in the future.
