Well equipped kitchen, clean home. Someone needs to check on one of the twin beds, it is not attached to the headboard and it tips over when you go to sit down on it. Also, there are quite a few lightbulbs that need to be changed. Would definitely stay here again!!
The pool was great, the house and lanai were wonderful with comfortable furniture. The house was clean and spacious. My only complaint was that the water has a smell which I have been told is a common problem in some parts of Florida. But we have rented three times because everything else about the house is super.
Home qas great, clean and fresh when we arrived. Check in was easy and the kitchen was well set with dishes and what was needed for cooking. Loved the sliders allowing open air feel ans the large outdoor space. Had a great time!!
The house was perfect.Weve stayed in south gulf cove several times. Perfect location to our family and beaches. As always the noseums tore me up

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Dec 2025
We are happy the house was perfect for you! The locals tell us that they use coconut oil to prevent no-see-um bites. The insects come out at dusk and stay until the sun gets intense. I stay in then! The pool cage gets fogged for them every couple weeks. If you do get bit, Ammonia helps with the itch. Each year of exposure to them seems to build up an immunity so reactions to them is less. Unfortunately they are all over Florida.
Everything was great. Our only issue had nothing to do with the home, we were stuck in the Atlanta airport for 30 hours and didn’t get to stay at the home on our first night. The house itself was very nice and relaxing!
This house has plenty of dishes, bikes, beach supplies including small cooler, chairs, etc.. Beds were comfortable. Very pleased with our stay and would stay here again.
Nice, clean home. Had everything you would need and very comfortable beds. Fishing was decent. Would definitely rent from them again just next time Ill be more prepared for the mosquitoes/ no-see-ums!!
This is our 5 visit to the property. It was a beautiful as ever. Very quiet location. The pool is warm and inviting. The owners take great careof the property.
Our stay was very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed the pool. The air conditioner temperature was always comfortable. We walked around the neighborhood and also went to Ollie’s Pond.
We are high school sweethearts who are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary this year. We have a wonderful daughter who we love to pieces and she now lives close by. Ernie has retired from social services and I plan to retire in a year or two. In Sarasota we have A Ray of Sunshine and in Port Charlotte we have Another Ray of Sunshine, so this one is the Third Ray of Sun. We enjoy creating vacation homes where families can enjoy their free time creating fun, happy memories.
Why they chose this property
This is one of our future retirement homes. It is exactly what we were looking for to spend some of our golden years. This house offers a great view of the tip of two intersecting canals. It has a large Jacuzzi tub in the master suite and a large screen TV in the family room. We are in a quiet zone much like a park and have 160 ft. of concrete seawall for a panoramic view of the water. We enjoy renting a boat for 4 hours to explore the beautiful waterways and wildlife in the area.
What makes this property unique
The view of the canals is spectacular from the backyard. The house has a great layout and offers amazing comfort and a happy, peaceful feeling. There is almost two masters on opposite sides of the house with both having sliding glass doors to the pool. The house is almost totally renovated with high quality furnishings, art and kitchen utensils. The backyard bordering the large canal is completely fenced in for the safety of children. The dock has bench seating and allows for great fishing and crabbing. There is even an electric fireplace with hearth and mantle that will create ambience and festivities with or without heat.
