Meet Sandra
Luxury Hospitality Starts with Genuine Care
Hi, I'm Sandra, founder of Sunshine Vacation Rentals.
For me, hospitality has never been about handing someone a key, it's about creating the kind of experience people remember long after they've returned home.
As a luxury real estate professional in Southern California, I've spent years helping clients buy and sell extraordinary homes. Along the way, I realized that the homes people vacation in deserve the same level of care, attention, and professionalism as the homes they own. That belief became Sunshine Vacation Rentals.

Loved by guests, recommended with confidence
Real experiences from real guests who've enjoyed unforgettable stays,
stunning views, and warm hospitality.
This home was lovely! Clean, spacious, and looked just like the photos. The location was great — quiet with beautiful views and close enough to get to local attractions within a 5–15 minute drive. The host was responsive and overall we had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend this property!
We had a great stay! The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We loved sitting by the fireplace and outside on the deck. The kids loved the hot tub and the playground outside! The views from the large windows were the highlight of the trip for me. We would definitely come back.
The house was perfect for our multi-generational family getaway. The views were beautiful and the layout provided plenty of space for everyone. The house itself was spotless and well furnished. Parking and check-in were easy. Thanks for a great long weekend.
This was our third time staying here and we just love it. My family consists of an 11 yr old, 7 yr old, and 2 yr old twins. There is something for all of them to do. We had originally booked another home on the water...
Incredible stay! The cabin was bright, warm, and exactly what we needed for some R+R. Sandra + Rosie were also a huge help when we were snowed in and needed assistance getting a snow plow. Quick to respond and so kind!
This was one of the best places we have stayed in Arrowhead. The private dock was a special amenity. The house was very spacious for our family of 10. The kids all loved the hot tub and the outdoor play area. The adults enjoyed the tremendous view of the lake. We will certainly be back.
