forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 0 out of 5 (14 reviews). One family traveling with a baby under 1 says they were drawn to the fact that only one group stays per day, and that they could relax without feeling self-conscious. Guests report playing with their children in the sea right out front and in the illuminated jacuzzi, and that books and board games are provided so that even elementary school children do not get bored. Some guests, on the other hand, report a lot of insects indoors and noticeable dirt.

Overview
Sunset Resort Kanutan is a whole-villa rental in Motobu-cho, Okinawa, about 5 minutes by car from Churaumi Aquarium. With just 1 room in total and only one group per day, families have the place to themselves without other guests around. The villa has a bathroom with a jacuzzi and a kitchen, so you can cook for yourselves and settle in at your own pace. The setting is wide open, right in front of the sea, and marine activities and a BBQ can be arranged as options. Some conditions are worth checking before you book, such as the fact that children who have turned 3 count toward the number of guests.
Rooms
This is an ocean-view cottage rented as a whole building. There is 1 room in total, and because the entire building goes to a single booking, only one group can stay per day. A private beach lies right at the water's edge, so you can spend time by the sea without sharing it with other guests. The building has two floors, and the white-and-blue interior holds a spacious living room for up to 8 people and a bright, all-white bedroom. There are 2 washbasins set well apart, making it easy for a larger family to get ready. Accommodation plans are divided by group size from 1 to 8 guests, and every room is 63 sq m with a bathroom and toilet. Guests can use the kitchen in the villa, and some buildings also have a mini kitchen that requires a reservation. A refrigerator, microwave and kettle are provided, which is handy for preparing baby food and formula. There are stairs inside the building, so families with small children should take care going up and down.
Dining
Only room-only plans without meals are offered, so breakfast and dinner are not included. Guests can cook in the kitchen, and the neighboring Agu pork shabu-shabu restaurant Ocean Boo! as well as a BBQ with a sunset view can be arranged as options. No information about a children's menu is published, so it is worth bringing food for young children or preparing it in the kitchen.
Baths
The villa has a bathroom with a jacuzzi where you can bathe while looking out at the sea. Since the whole building goes to one group per day, there is no chance of overlapping with other guests at bath time, and you can use it with small children without worrying about anyone else. A shower booth is also provided, which is convenient for rinsing off after playing in the sea or on the beach.
Family-friendly features
Apart from infants up to age 2, all children are included in the number of guests. Children who have turned 3 also count toward the guest total, so keep this in mind when confirming the number of people on your booking. The entire property is non-smoking, so families with young children can stay with peace of mind. There are no houses nearby, so if small children get a little lively, you do not have to worry about the neighbors. Among the optional marine activities, snorkeling is described as easy for everyone from children to adults, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is also offered for parents and children together. Both are arranged separately from your stay, and staying guests receive an exclusive discount.
Access
The villa is 30 minutes by car from Kyoda Interchange in the direction of Ocean Expo Park, and about 5 minutes by car from Churaumi Aquarium. That makes it a convenient choice for families who want to combine their stay with a visit to the aquarium. Parking is free for 12 cars and requires no reservation, so traveling by car is easy.
