Good Neighbor Recognition (updated 7/30/2026)

The following Sunset Bay residents have been recognized for going above and beyond to make our community and the surrounding area a great place to live.  We appreciate and honor each of you!

 

 

Many thanks to Todd and especially Jim for incredibly being able and willing to rescue my phone that was at the bottom of the lake! I assumed it was never going to surface again. Jim found it in one dive! For all of you who take your phones down to the lake, be sure you put it in a waterproof bag and secure the lanyard around your neck. Mine was able to survive 3 hours under the water! Jim you are a hero!

 

 

A big shout out to Mike, who as a good neighbor was able to get my boat back to running by replacing, installing and charging the batteries. Also teaching me how to run and park the boat with a great deal of patience. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

Tracy, Michael, and Charlotte have all been exceptional neighbors. We have been away for several weeks and they have kept our grass cut, checked the mail, taken out the trash, and kept an eye on our home. Additionally, they always ask if we need anything and are willing to help in any way possible. We are so blessed to have such wonderful neighbors. Thank you for all you do!

 

Coordinating renovations for our Sunset Bay home while we continue to live in Las Vegas, NV can be “challenging” on a good day. On numerous occasions we have had to reach out to our amazing neighbor Debbie - to retrieve Amazon packages, advise of contractor activity and product delivery, and to turn off lights (multiple times). Debbie has helped us often and continues to be amazingly proactive in letting us know of happenings and potential issues. Thank you again and again, Debbie! We’ll for sure have a permanent seat and cold beverage for you (and Kevin ????) on our upper deck once we finally move in full-time in 2028.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gretchen & Terry, Katie & Anthony
We had to leave for Ohio suddenly for a family emergency. We made one call to a neighbor letting them know about our situation. The Hart’s took care of our garbage and the Hart’s and Flesher’s took turns watering our garden and flowers, picking up our mail and when we did make it home our grass had also been cut! It is so wonderful to know that in our time of need our neighbors were here for us. Thank you all!
 

 

While Ed and I were on vacation a mighty wind blew our dock furniture into the lake, including two wrought iron chairs vintage 1995. These chairs had sat on our dock for 12 years, unaffected by wind. Upon our return I mentioned this, in passing, to Sue and Greg. The next thing I know they are pulling into my driveway, Greg making finding the chairs a challenge. Greg had brought a home "gaff hook" type implement that he had made in his youth. Sue assisted by keeping hold of the rope, feeding more as needed. Greg identified his search grid and methodically launched and dragged his hook "MacGyver" style. Within about 45 minutes the chairs were located and hoisted back on the dock. Thanks, Greg and Sue. I appreciate you!!

 

 

Roy and Susan have been exceptional neighbors. We all know what a drive and expense hotels are from Sunset Bay. They opened their home to us for the past 6 months as a place to stay while we were building. They even let us stay when they were out of town. They let our contractors use water from their house before ours was connected. Roy and Susan even watered our seed to get the grass growing. If packages or appliances were being delivered and Michael was not on site, they would accept them, make sure they worked and lock the house up after the delivery. Roy was invaluable as an ARC member when challenges arose with our build. After those discussions, the ARC hat came off and the neighbor hat was again in place. They have gone above and beyond the good neighbor meaning and we now consider them family. We are looking forward to years of friendship. Thank you Roy and Susan!!!
