We were there over the Thanksgiving holiday so the area was very quiet and an ideal spot to soak up the wonderful views of the water. We also went over to Assateague and Chincoteague Islands for wonderful sunsets, birds, and wild ponies. An ideal getaway.

The location surprised me - there really is not much around. The closest town is Chincoteague, and that's a good 20 minutes away. Being there during the hurricane...we were even more limited.
But it didn't matter. We absolutely LOVED having the games in the basement. I finally got okay at pool. LOL But seriously, my husband and I had a blast playing against each other. The kids played a game...but they kinda gave up on it before it was over. Ha!
The place was cute and perfect for us - my SIL and her three girls, my husband and me. Highly recommend, especially for families with kids (because the loft is pretty cool!)

The house is comfortable and spacious. The rental company is courteous and helpful. The internet service is very poor, unable to watch a movie for example. The community is very friendly and fun with two places to eat and two pools.

The guidelines of the community were a bit demanding but our stay was wonderful. We had to travel 35 min to the beach but again it was wonderful.

The house is lovely, great lay out and very clean. The elevator was a big plus with suitcases. We were able to crab off the back dock. Nice rental. Only negative is that it is a bit of a drive to the beach.

Luxury price but not luxury amenities
Spectacular views and space for everyone, but read ALL of the reviews on here and pack accordingly. It needs someone to care for it, upgrade appliances and just repair things correctly, not cheaply. I brought my own knives, can opener - yes there is one, but it's dollar store quality that barely works. The lower level was barely usable due to the amount of flies down there - I'm suspecting the locked owners area was the source.
Owner does not pay for the curbside garbage service that the rest of the neighbors use. You will be expected to take it, sorted, to the city dump. I was not prepared or adequately equipped as only one small bin, is provided.

Sun Rays
Renting was very easy & laid back. Questions were answered quickly. Contactless check-in was effortless & a timesaver. Loved the property. There was so much space inside & out. Loved the water views!
4.2
Great location on the water for the price! We were looking forward to playing pool in the basement but there weren’t any pool balls and only two darts. Also the fireplace didn’t work and the mattress in the master bedroom was hard as a rock. Otherwise it was very clean and the neighborhood was very quiet.

July 2021 Stay
We loved our vacation at Sun Rayes! The location is beautiful and the house was perfect for our family. We were able to dock our boat in the canal right in front of the house which was great! We enjoy playing pool and spent a lot of evenings in the game room. We went to the pool and enjoyed the restaurants in the community. We made two trips to the beach which was only a 20 minute drive from Captain's Cove.
We had a few things that needed attention in the house and everything was taken care of in just a few short hours. The service was amazing.
We recently purchased a lot in Captain's Cove and wanted to make sure this was the right place for us. Thanks to this vacation experience, we know this is where we want to live.
I highly recommend booking your next vacation at Sun Rayes!

we had a very nice stay. The house was very nice and the elevator was quite handy for hauling everything in or out. We had wonderful weather and made a trip to the islands and to Ocean City. However for the price of the rental we should not be required to bring our own linens which include towels and sheets for all of the beds or purchase a linen pkg which we did. The last thing you want to do after a long drive is to sort out sheets and make all the beds. There was a small trash can provided outside. We were instructed that any access trash had to be taken 10 min away to a land fill site because the community didn't have trash pick up. Friday morning Davis Disposal came through and emptied all trash cans around us but not ours. Very good vacation however there are some things that need to be corrected.

We used this location for a family trip and had a great time! Reminder to future guests- be sure to shut the door to the elevator when you exit it. We had it get stuck on a different for a few times. Haha.

Beautiful views
This house has beautiful views and the Captains Cove neighborhood is lovely. We visited in winter so it wasn’t busy. It was about 25 minutes to Chincoteague/Assateague where we saw the horses, light house, and beach.
The house has an elevator which is tricky to work. Would be really nice to have more instructions for it posted. Finally figured it out but without it you have to go outside to get to the game room. However most houses don’t have this at all. It was awesome to have a pool table, ping pong, and darts.

Thanksgiving Getaway
Overall enjoyed the time at the Sun Rayes house. Very nice views from each angle of the house. Beds were all comfortable and shown just as in photos. Open concept floor plan was perfect for a family, holiday getaway. Extremely impressed with the channels provided through the dish network. Most rentals have base packages, this home seemed to have every available channel offered.
Negatives: arrived at house to discover the elevator was not in working order. House had been selected for this sole purpose since an elderly person and disabled person would be staying. This was very disappointing since those members had to be contained to the 1st floor only and couldn't go up and down the stairs to the lower level. (There is only outside access to get to the lower level game area - no internal staircase down to the bottom level.) Upon arrival, purchased Linen package was also not delivered and did not arrive until 7 pm. Arrival was day before Thanksgiving and offices were already closed at 4 pm check in time. Had to call the emergency line for assistance in these matters, and property management was extremely quick to respond and assist as best they could.
I take previous reviews with a grain of salt, but don't ignore the main level bathroom comments or the can opener comments. The bathroom does not flush properly in the main bath (which had been in reviews back in July 2021) - the females actually had to use different bathrooms within the house during the entire stay. The Kitchen stock really needs to be updated. Silverware is worse than dollar store quality. 2 seperate individuals had forks break while in their mouths and the can opener is beyond not working. Again, this part seems silly, but try making a Thanksgiving meal with 3 people, scissors, knives, and a pair of plyers to get a can open. (At least it will be a funny story for years to come).
Recommendation:
There should be some sort of guest binder at the house providing information for the stay. Examples would be, instructions on how to use elevator and fireplace. Also, trash information should be informed more clearly. There was only one trash can and was already half full upon arrival. We had to end up taking trash home with us due to not having extra cans available.
I hate sounding negative within the review, but there really could be some small things done within the house to make a much better experience.

Simply Beautiful!
Home was as shown and gorgeous. Elevator was a huge plus due to elderly family members in my group. Location is excellent and the nearby marina restaurant/indoor pool were right on time. Will definitely stay again for a longer time! Thank you for allowing my family and I to enjoy your beautiful home.

September 2021 Stay
We enjoyed our stay immensely! The elevator was a real boon as we had friends with health issues and it saved them using the stairs. The deck on the main level was great for having a drink and watching the sunset/sunrise with our tea/coffee. We had been to the Wine festival and some wineries so we had a bon fire and wine and cheese, etc. and it's beautiful as it's right on the water. The only drawback was the distance to Chincoteague and other locales to visit....but it is vacation time! Worth the stay.

Amazing property
This home was perfect for our family vacation. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own space. The views are stunning, beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the decks. We spent a couple of days at the community pool. The atmosphere and vibe was perfect. Music, food, Tiki-bar. The residents and other guests were so friendly. The grill was in pretty bad shape when we arrived, but the owners delivered a brand new one the day after we called the agent. This is a beautiful home to plan your next vacation!

Highly Recommended
We enjoyed our stay at this house in Captain's Cove. The house was clean, fairly well equipped and in a great location. Great view off the deck and having the dock and proximity to the canal was great for catching crabs. Enjoyed the ping pong table. Community pools and golf course were fantastic. Highly recommended. Some suggestions: need additional kitchen tools such as vegetable peelers and a dish drain. Iron and ironing board would also be helpful. Also there were some light switches that didn't work in one of the bathrooms and bedrooms.

Reviewer Comments:
Quiet area with beautiful views. Disappointments were over little things like incomplete linens (no pillow cases/fitted sheets), not a well stocked kitchen w/appliances, and bunk beds that need to be repaired. One of the toilets didn't flush properly and we had to adapt to that ourselves. Sunroom had an awful smell and not easy to sit in and enjoy. This was one of the main features of the rental for us. Of larger importance, the WiFi was compromised and unusable in a safe way. Multiple texts to the resort company yielded no corrections during the week. This was disappointing, although they offered a small credit for the inconvenience. Certainly would have appreciated a little more than, "we're sorry for any inconvenience." They didn't seem to care about getting anyone out to help us correct the issues. If you are okay with a house in need of a little TLC, this is truly beautiful and quiet and allowed for a peaceful week overall.

The house is quite nice. The dock is great. The distance to Chincoteague though made the whole vacation feel like all we did was drive. It was very unclear how out in nowhere this community was. Our main goal was to be very close to the beach so that was a total miss. Also months after reserving it the occupancy changed so one person had to be left out. It was so late there was nothing else available. It’s doubtful we will ever come back since we feel mislead about the distance as well as occupancy.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Sun Rayes and loved that we were able to bring our dogs. The house was clean, spacious, everything was in good working order, and I must not have read the description well because I was completely surprised to see it had an elevator! This was a life-saver for our elderly dog who has trouble with stairs. We also loved that there were nice views off both the front and back decks.
The Captains Cove community was great - neighbors were very friendly as were the staff at the pool. The on-site restaurant was also excellent. One minor warning is that outside of the community itself there is not much to do nearby. That was fine for us because we were looking for a bit more solitude, but be aware that restaurants, shops, beach, etc are 30 minutes away in Chincoteague or an hour to Ocean City. We would absolutely stay here again.
