Sunset Bay: Your Dream Summer Getaway at Sunset Bay – Lakefront Views & Adventure
Sunset Bay SLEEPS: 8 BEDROOMS: 3 BATHROOMS: 2 *LAKEFRONT (Anchor Bay) *OPEN YEAR ROUND *4 cameras installed outside the property and are frequently monitored. Pets and parties are not permitted at the property. *No pets allowed! If you have one of your Guests that are coming by with a pet, please remember that this property is not a pet friendly space.

Resting on the Northeastern shores of Anchor Bay, within Lake St. Clair lies the Sunset Bay Lake House. Sunset Bay is a newly renovated lake house with a heavenly view of the soothing Anchor Bay. Just a few miles from the St. Clair River bordering Canada, 25 miles north of Detroit, Sunset Bay Lake House provides an ideal backdrop for a classic summer vacation with your family.
This 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom lake house has been fully renovated in 2022. The kitchen has been updated and reflects a crisp, contemporary edge. To be able to cook while visiting with family in the living room, plus stretch a glance at the bay, makes for an ideal setting. Sunset Bay is a wonderful place to bring your family and friends, where 2 couples can each have their privacy with the kids enjoying the 2 sets of twin bunk beds together in one room; or where a larger family of 5-6 can invite the grandparents along to add to the family memories which await.
The sunporch overlooking the bay is the perfect place to read a book, or simply relax. It's the place to soak in the morning with your cup of coffee overlooking the Bay as the mist off the water sprinkles the air. Plus, when the sun begins its decent, end the day in the same spot with your favorite glass of wine as you watch the beautiful sunset on the horizon.
Open year round, where you can bring your boat/sailboat in the summer or your ice fishing shanty + auger in the winter to Sunset Bay Lake House. (Please check that the ice is at a safe level of thickness before you traverse the bay.) Here you have the opportunity to create memories, which will bring you years of smiles as you reflect upon your time along Anchor Bay.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is fantastic, sitting right on the lake. We really enjoyed spending time on the three-season deck; it was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, and take in the beautiful water views. The kitchen was very nice and fully equipped with plenty of dishes, pots, and appliances, which made cooking meals easy. Unfortunately, it was a bit too windy and cold for us to do any fishing during this trip, but it looks like an amazing spot for it when the weather is calmer. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Property is very nice! We loved watching the sunset on the pier each night. Neighbors are friendly too! Comfy beds! Enjoyed the back porch area for am coffee!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and was a great set up for 2 small families with young kiddos. Next time we would want to plan for more time on the water as we found the surrounding area didn't have a lot to offer for young families.
Wonderful place for a getaway: quiet, plenty of outside seats, firepit, sunroom provides a great view of the bay, and much more. The description does not do the location justice: it is much better. Bonus: grocery stores within a few minutes drive, and a ton of water-based activities.

Beautiful lakeside property. House sleeps 8 people if needed. Everything was clean and nice. Hosts are easy to communicate with.
Very clean and comfortable. Went for a fishing trip with best friend. Access to multiple boat ramps in the area.
Sunsets are amazing, interior updated and nice. This is a great property, in a safe area, with friendly neighbors. I would definitely come back with my fishing partner or family . Great Place!
We had a great time during our weekend stay for the Ladies on the Lake Perch Derby. The cottage was great, plenty of space and super cute. 2 large full bathrooms was perfect for our group of girls. It is updated and decorated so nicely. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Maybe in the summer months so we can enjoy the beautiful deck.
Loved this beautiful jewel on the water!sparkling clean Easy check in , beautiful Decorations, comfy home feeling the view the deck was all perfect. Loved the sign in the bathroom. Will be back. Sonya
The property is just as it’s presented. Love the decor. Beds and pillows super comfortable. One word of caution to anyone bringing children, there is no railing on the deck, but that seems to be the theme for the area. Absolutely gorgeous view of Lake St. Clair. I’d definitely book this location again.
Listing was spot on! Home was clean, tidy, and welcoming! Check in process was easy. Sign in and welcome note was nice to see when walking in. The kitchen provided many amenities needed for our stay. Beautiful piece of property. Neighbors were friendly, you have access to the water, and the fire pit was close to the home. We had a wonderful stay and plan to visit again!
The house was very pretty and the view was great. it was nice to have the chairs on the dock to sit and look at the water. the sunsets were gorgeous. the neighbors were friendly. one thing i would say, it probably said they didn't provide toiletries. i have stayed at a few VRBO's, they have at least provided little samples of soap and shampoo. fortunately there were stores close by.
We had a great time there. thank you
Very impressed with the response with an issue we needed help with! Beautiful place quiet and relaxing and everything that the past reviews say about the neighbors is true. The only thing negative I would say is the Roku is not for us. Very slow, and in the room off of the living room, we could never get any shows at all. It would just keep circling and circling.
We loved our stay at Sunset Bay. It is a lovely place that is very well set up for a vacation rental. Communication was great and checking in was a breeze.
The house is beautifully updated, plenty of sleeping space and the best thing is the beautiful lake view & lake activities available.We were there for a family wedding but decided to have a vacation at this house too!
Overall it was a great stay, and we would choose this house again. Very clean, updated, and furnished with everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful back yard and views of the lake. Our only complaints were the overhead smoke detectors had very bright blinking lights at night. And it's a long drive to many activities we did in and around Detroit, though we knew the location before we booked. Would stay here again!
