House was nice, and in a good location to Gasparilla area. Pool was clean and enjoyable. House was cool, and the beds slept well. We had everything we needed for our stay. I would stay in the home again.

Nice house in a very quiet neighborhood.

Very nice accommodations. We really enjoyed the pool and outside hanging by the canal. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was very clean, nice and as advertised actually better. Linda the host was very kind and helpful. There was just two of us for 3 nights and did not utilize a large portion of the house. We plan on returning with family for fall break. There was all kinds of beach gear and pool stuff. The kitchen had all you need to prepare meals. Overall a lovely house and experience.

This was our 2nd stay here. The home is very nice and is in a nice neighborhood, located near beaches and golf courses. Property management and homeowner very responsive. We spent a lot of time out in the lanai and in the pool.

Everything was great. House fully stocked with anything you might need. Furniture was comfortable and plentiful. Questions to the manager were answered in a timely fashion. Loved the wide open view from the new birdcage. Pool was warm and inviting. Looking forward to next year’s stay.

As a family with 2 boys we loved this house! Our boys hardly left the warm pool- aside from our many trips to the beach at Boca grande. We also loved being able to watch the sunrise each morning and fishing from the dock even if we didn’t catch anything. The house came with almost everything we needed and communication with the host and property management was great and we had no issues while we were there. We love staying in this area and we’re very happy with our stay at this property!

We loved the Boco Granda beach, it was beautiful

We enjoyed the canal view and beautiful sunrises! The hosts were easily accessible and prompt. There are several state parks nearby if you love nature as well as bird sanctuaries and beaches. No lack of things to enjoy. We hope to come again.

Came down for holiday get away as the house was perfect for our needs. Weather was chill at night which impacted the pool temperature but we were able to use it a couple days which was perfect for us.

The house was perfect! Its also in a wonderful neighborhood! The only flaw is it does not have high speed wifi so if you have kids on ipads or gamers it will not keep up! Would definitely recommend this house!

Beautiful, spacious home, true to listing. Large, clean, warm pool. Made use of the kitchen and laundry facilities. Enjoyed the view of the canal from both kitchen and lanai. Quiet neighborhood in a nice area of Florida, not crowded when we visited at the end of October. Overall wonderful time at this VRBO.

We had a good time here the neighborhood was pretty quiet and didn’t really have any issues.

Make sure you ask as many questions as you can think of because their pictures were Not up to date when we booked. It showed a pool “cage” which had been destroyed by a hurricane at least a year before. This was a weekend away for my wife’s birthday. After a 5 hour drive she ended up having to clean the dirty refrigerator before being able to put our food in it (while I was vacuuming the couch so she could sit on it). The beds were Very comfortable! First impressions are Great sometimes but left a negative mark on us here. Drive up to a “Luxe” house with weeds in cracks of the driveway and other areas of the yard. The “welcoming” front door was very dirty and so on. The management company is just not doing a good job for the owner.

Good location

Overall our week stay was great! We were very comfortable in this home as there is great space for a large family. Location is perfect. Anywhere we wanted to go was within a 5 to 20 minute drive. Home is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. However, disappointed in the cleanliness of the home and patio. It appeared to have been surfaced cleaned and not deep cleaned. For a vacation home, this is unacceptable and did ruin a lot vacay vibes for me. The patio had piles of pool floats and seat cushions at one end. The table and chairs for the dock were tossed in yard and there was a lot of weeds and overgrowth near dock so we didn’t use it like we wanted to. The pool was cloudy during our stay but received maintenance. The back bedroom window would not stay closed (old dated crank windows). We did not contact the owner/property manager and just cleaned ourselves. No cleaning supplies other than 2 dishwasher pods and windex so did pick up some from store down the road. Plenty of towels in the home but stained and mixed matched and the kitchen, though was well stocked, had very old and dated utensils and pots. The fridge’s water and ice dispenser was disgusting so we bought bottled water and ice. The home is dated. Couldn’t open the blinds in the master bedroom. Made me feel like we were staying at a someone’s grandmas house. Hate to leave negative remarks because we did have a great week in Florida at this home but I don’t think I would stay at this home again.

The House in the Sun is everything the ad said it would be. Check in was seem less, the property manager was very attentive and prompt, the beds comfy! The location was perfect and in the garage there were coolers and beach chairs. The pool was beautiful! The noseeums at night were relentless but they didn’t come out until later on. It was peaceful and quiet and felt very safe.

Since the moment we booked our family vacay we counted down the months. We had a great time but the pool cage was GREATLY missed. The reason we booked the house was for the pool and the easy access to fishing. The bugs were terrible and that was after we fogged the yard twice. The boys caught assorted fish and had a great time. Bikes were used almost every night. House was clean. We made great memories on our vacay.

This house was a nice home away from home. Not too far from the beach, restaurants or the grocery store. The only thing that I can complain about is that we were informed that the screen covering for the pool had been down since the hurricane. We got eaten alive by bugs. Not using the pool after dark was not an option for us. We had our kids with us and got a house with a pool just for them. They weren't going to not use the pool during that time. Not a dealbreaker but would of been nice to have the option of cancelling if we wanted to. All that said, this was a great little place for a family vacation.

Great house in a great location. Definitely would stay again

Everything was as shown. Not a single issue with the home or the process!!!!

The house was stocked with enough to get you started and clean. Stores are a short drive away. Walking and biking paths right out the door. Owner and manager answered within minutes if anything was needed. We stayed with my wifes parents and our 3 children. The master has its own bathroom and is on the other side of the house giving some separation for her parents. Pool was warm and ready for the kids to play. Grill and all appliances worked as they should. Great place.

We stayed for two weeks at the Third Ray of Sun. This is our 3rd year staying in this neighborhood, we love SGC. The house is a little older but is in very good shape. The cage over the pool was lost in Hurricane Ian and has not been replaced yet, but we understand why and that was not an issue. We had great communication with the owner and with the property manager. We had a few times we need to reach out to the property manager and she was very quick to respond. We used the bikes that were provided almost everyday. We spent many days on the beach, there are many beaches close by. We enjoyed our stay so much we have already booked a stay again for 2 weeks next year.

We stayed in South Gulf Cove for a week and I wish it would have been longer. The house was everything we needed and more! It was so easy to check in and out and the property manager was very helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting a comfortable getaway! Thank you and hope to stay next year!

Linda was a great hostess. She was readily available by phone with questions answered quickly. We’ve stayed at this home multiple times, and have enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, ready access to restaurants, groceries, and activities.

We enjoyed our stay at Third Ray of Sun. It’s so peaceful having our morning coffee, watching the birds, and seeing the occasional fish jumping across the canal. We did miss the pool cage, but we were aware it probably wouldn’t be replaced before our visit. The house was clean and well stocked with towels and incidentals needed upon our arrival. A great place to stay!

The property was clean and well stocked.

My wife and I loved the location and amenities this place had to offer. Everything was perfect. Thanks!

We had a great week of vacation here. Very clean large home with all amenities. The pool and property was great. Pretty view of the inter coastal canal way. Fished every day but not very successful in catching much. Centrally located to great beaches and golf courses, all within 15 -30 minutes driving. Enjoyed a few bike rides and bikes were provided in garage. Check in was super easy, would highly recommend this property for a family vacation. Very responsive and friendly owners. Enjoyed ourselves very much!

We had a perfect family vacation. The location was centrally located to everything. The home is beautiful and was equipped with everything needed for a family vacation. The owners and property managers were very responsive to questions. We would love to return and stay again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

We have stayed here multiple times. It's such a beautiful place and so relaxing. The home has everything we need and the pool is so warm and inviting. We can't wait to go back.

Great home for families....so much room and very clean and modern. Would highly recommend this home. We stayed in rotunda west last year but this home was much nicer overall

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here. The place was as described and check was extremely smooth. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
