Perfect getaway
Highly recommend for an easy stay on Smith Mountain Lake! The condo had everything we needed, the views were spectacular, easy water access, and great neighborhood. I’d recommend bringing heat you need as stores and restaurants are a bit of a drive, but the condo itself was perfect. Our pup loved it too.

Nice location, water activities near by and perfect weekend getaway! No food at house so bring your coffee/tea, also you have to throw trash to different place (10 mins away) afterwards which was little inconvenient.

Beautiful House and Views
The beautiful house has a great 3-level design. It feels new and well-cared for. Had everything we needed. The views from all three floors were stunning: wide-open lake views, and manicured lawns.

My adult kids and I spent a week here working remotely and enjoying the lake in our down time. It was a great townhouse and the lake and beach were super convenient for playing in the water. We would definitely stay here again if were come back to the area.

Beautiful view of the lake from two decks
Lovey stay here. Very clean. 3.5 baths. A wet bar downstairs that makes it almost a self contained apartment with full bath, bedroom and wetbar. Third floor is the master bedroom with a jacuzzi tub if you like that and shower. Kids room on the third floor has two twin beds and a full bath. Kitchen is kind of randomly supplied with all the basics.

Great place, not so good rental conpany
The place was lovely. The rental company not so much. They promised me an early check in, but didn’t activate door code, so we couldn’t get in. I called rental company twice. They never returned call. They eventually changed code, but never called back. I think that would have been the courteous thing to do.

Overall, it was an amazing stay! We loved the location. The view of the lake and the easy access with the beach was so convenient. On our second day, we returned home and the AC on the main level was not working. We contacted the property manager and then left to go on a hike. We were very pleasantly surprised when we returned to find that it was fixed when we returned! The only negative I would say is that no paper products like paper towels were provided or even like a bar of soap. We brought everything we needed, but people should be prepared to bring everything-read all the details before booking. Overall though a very great stay! Thank you!!

This townhouse is in a great location and very comfortable.
Our experience was mostly good. The air conditioning was a little difficult to manage. We followed the suggestions and still the lower level was like a refrigerator. The instructions on the TVs throughout were very confusing. The TV on the lower living room area was the only one that made sense. Also, the trash removal instructions were beyond confusing. The instructions need to pertain to only that property, not for every possible property in the area. However, even with these snags, we had a great stay!!! Overall a great property but would suggest they address a few negative issues.

Just steps from the lake!
It was super hard to find a place with lakefront access that was dog-friendly but we found it! Absolutely loved this place. Quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. Easy to check in. We swam in the lake every day with my kid, and kayaked every afternoon. There's a boat slip too, if you have your own boat. There are wineries 15-45 min away and decent restaurant options. State Park is just up the road. Overall great extended-family vacation.

This is a lake front house with a beautiful view. It is well equipped, clean, and comfortable. It also came with board games that we enjoyed playing in the evening. The power was out the first day we arrived and it came back around 8:30 pm.

Beautiful lake view
The property is lovely and the view of the lake is excellent When we realised there was a problem with dampness downstairs they were very quick to bring in a dehumidifier to help. Also very helpful in immediately getting us fans for the upstairs which was a bit too warm for one of us with a heart condition.

Perfect for a family trip
We were traveling with my parents and our two young children, and were thrilled with how comfortable and spacious the townhouse was. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies, which we appreciate as we prepared all meals there due to COVID. The kids loved to run right out the door and into the lake, and it was so quiet and peaceful. The kayak was put to good use as well. There were a few things missing (no dishwasher soap, no laundry detergent), but there is a small store a few minutes drive away that was easy to get to for those items. We also really appreciated the detail instruction packet that was at the property when we arrived, which was helpful in figuring out the trash drop off. We would love to stay again!

Great location, but a few things to be aware of.
Overall we had a great time at Sunset Cove but there were a few things we wish we had known when selecting the property. 1. There is no trash pick up. You are responsible for taking all your trash to the transfer station. 2. There is basically no air on the third floor. They give you tips about how to make it cooler, but be ready because their is minimal cool air up there. 3. The pool was closed. I get it, covid. However, if there are going to be amenities closed I really feel that the rental agency should make sure you are aware of that ahead of time. A break in price would be nice but a heads up so you can manage your expectations is a must. We were highly disappointed when we found out it was closed. We had even tried to get on the Virginia covid updates to find out about public pools and the guidelines prior to coming for just this reason. The property has an awesome view, the use of a dock and a nice swim area. All of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The master bath needs a good deep cleaning and refreshing but it serves its purposes I highly recommend taking chairs for lounging and making sure you have enough for your group because their are only two on property.

The property was nice and the location was fantastic. We had a great time. The home had easy access to the lake. One negative was you had to travel 8 miles one way to get rid of the garbage each day.
