forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel has 14 reviews. One family with a baby under age 1 says they chose to stay because the villa takes just one group at a time, and guests can relax without feeling self-conscious. Guests report that children can play in the sea right out front and in the illuminated jacuzzi, and that books and board games are on hand so even elementary school children don't get bored. On the other hand, some guests mention that there were many insects in the room or that dirt was noticeable.

Overview
Sunset Resort Kanutan is a whole-villa rental in Motobu, Okinawa, about 5 minutes by car from the Churaumi Aquarium. With just 1 room, it takes only one group per day, so your family can enjoy time together without worrying about other guests. The villa has a bathroom with a jacuzzi and a kitchen, so you can cook for yourselves and take your time. The setting, right in front of the sea, feels wonderfully open, and marine activities and a BBQ are available as options. There are also conditions worth checking before you book, such as the fact that children aged 3 and over count toward the number of guests.
Rooms
This ocean-view cottage is 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 in front, by the sea, so you can spend time at the water's edge without sharing it with other guests. The building has two floors. Decorated in white and blue, it has a spacious living room for up to 8 people and a bright, all-white bedroom. There are 2 washbasins, generously spaced, so even a large family can get ready with ease. Accommodation plans are divided by group size, from 1 to 8 guests, and in every plan the room is 63 sq m with a bath and toilet. Besides the kitchen in the villa, there is a mini kitchen that requires a reservation. A refrigerator, a microwave and an electric kettle are also provided, which is handy for preparing baby food and formula. There are stairs inside the building, so take care going up and down with small children.
Dining
Only room-only plans without meals are offered, so breakfast and dinner are not included. You can cook in the villa's kitchen, and as options you can also arrange a meal at the neighboring Agu pork shabu-shabu restaurant Ocean Boo! or a BBQ while watching the sunset. No information about a children's menu is published, so it is a good idea to bring food for small children or prepare it yourselves in the kitchen.
Baths
The villa has a bathroom with a jacuzzi, where you can bathe while looking out at the sea. Because the whole building goes to one group per day, there is no chance of your bath time overlapping with other guests, and you can use it with small children without worrying about anyone else. There is also a shower booth, which is convenient for rinsing off after playing in the sea or on the beach.
Family-Friendly Features
All children other than infants (up to age 2) are counted in the number of guests. Children who have turned 3 count toward the guest total, so please keep this in mind when confirming the number of guests on your booking. The entire building is non-smoking, so families with small children can stay with peace of mind. There are no houses nearby, so you need not worry about the neighbors if small children get a little lively. Among the optional marine activities, snorkeling is billed as easy for everyone from children to adults to enjoy, and SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) is also offered for parents and children together. Both are options arranged separately from your stay, and staying guests receive an exclusive discount.
Access
The villa is 30 minutes by car from Kyoda Interchange, heading toward Ocean Expo Park, and about 5 minutes by car from the Churaumi Aquarium. That makes it a convenient base for families who want to pair their stay with a visit to the aquarium. Parking for 12 cars is free and needs no reservation, so getting around by car is easy.
