Guest Reviews

 

In its first rental year, Sunset Pleasure surpassed all expectations.  Prior to its completion, we had guests who were reluctant because they were not sure the house would be ready for their vacation, or that the quality will meet their expectation.  We delivered as scheduled, and Sunset Pleasure was booked solid from May to November 2006.  And yes, our 2006 guests were pleased and many cannot wait to return.  We are already receiving pre-bookings for 2007. Hearing this from us may appear biased, so we invite you to see our calendar and some of the comments left behind by the 2006 guests. Click the link below for the guest comments.
