My immediate and extended family have been staying at Sunset Beach Resort a week every summer for about 18 years now. Tom and Karen are phenomenal people and very caring owners of the property. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The on-site pool is always clean, cool and clear. The property is tucked in a cove, which is nice for fishing with kids, and offers easy access to the lake. Its across-the-cove neighbor is Backwater Jack's, which quiets down after 11 on weekends. Plus, you're just a handful of minutes by car to Wal-Mart, Hy-Vee, the outlet mall and then some. I challenge you to stay anywhere commercial at the lake that has all of this for the same price as Sunset Beach Resort charges. read more
