8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
We traveled during the tropical storm recently but it was all good in spite of. The ocean was magnificent with its high waves and intense tides. Shopping and store access is a short distance away. Loved the remoteness. If your Looking for horse activity don’t bother with any horse tours as the horses were outside our place almost daily and even so close they were looking in windows, fun place, huge. Game/ pub room was a blast as well as the steam shower. Hot tubs were wonderful and clean. My only gripe was the pool guy , found him a bit haughty when we asked about the heat not working on our last day but the Host quickly remedied the problem . The pool was awesome on the days we used it , even at night , it was the last day where there was a problem. Elevator made taking luggage and food etc. in and out of the house so easy. I highly recommend Sunnybank.

Fantastic property, spacious, clean and very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable, hassle free vacation!Hurricane Erin interrupted the start of our vacation but Oana kept us well informed regarding the status of the evacuation order and as soon as it was safe to travel she let us know.Our family of 7 adults, 3 kids under the age of 10 and one well-behaved dog had a wonderful, relaxing time, took turns in cooking using the very well-equipped kitchen and had a lot of fun playing board games and even completed a jigsaw puzzle! The highlight was seeing the wild horses behind the house early one morning and watching the three rocket launches from MD light up the sky!M
