    Wonderful house!! Great location. Basketball court was a hit with the 12-17yr olds. Hot tub and pool were great, house is very spacious and 3 bathrooms make a huge difference. Would book again.

    We loved A Ray of Sunshine Close to everything on the island, on a canal. Very spacious 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Kitchen had everything you would need and was user friendly. Beautiful pool, outdoor eating area, bikes, kayaks and even a firepit(didn’t use, but was available). You can’t go wrong, if you rent this property.

    Very nice home with fantastic backyard including pool, patio, grill, spa, sport court, and canal dock. Place was clean and bright, and comes with everything you'd need. Especially nice was the onsite availability of bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, pull cart, etc.

    This rental was perfect for my wife and our friends. Easily one of the better rentals we have had. Convenient location to beaches and shops, also the amenities for the property were outstanding.

    My only complaint was lots of work going on during our stay. A dock was being taken out which was a day and a half of noise and another day a bathroom had work done and the shower couldn’t be used for 24 hours. The men working also had no masks. Both were annoying. Also keep lights on. A few large cockroaches spotted. Other then that the house was great

    This was the best rental we have had on AMI to date and we have stayed almost a dozen times. Excellent and conveniently located close to shops and resto's, 4 min walk to beach access and amazing amenities. House had some older charm but is welcomed as a lot of AMI is being converted to much bigger and danting homes. Easy access for my older parents, beautiful grounds with amazing access to canal. Looking forward to renting again for sure.

    We recently rented this property when our trip to Mexico was canceled. Wow....do things happen for a reason! We had the MOST relaxing, stress-free, fun three days at this home. A true vacation! Everything was perfect: the pool is SO clean and amazing, the basketball court was so cool for my three teen sons, we used the kayaks several times, the beds are super comfortable, quiet location, and the management company is amazing with their communication. You are walking distance to the beach, amazing restaurants and shops too! We loved the lobster mac n' cheese pizza at Slim's, the breakfast skillets at Ginny and Jane's, the donuts at Donut Experience! We rented a golf cart, but you really didn't need it with this location. We used our rental car to go to Publix and get groceries. I think that would have been tough with the golf cart if you are buying a lot. There is a little convenience store around the corner too. I would say the only thing that probably needs to be replaced is a beach umbrella. Maybe it was there and we couldn't find it? But the sun was pretty hot, so we only went to the beach for an hour or so at a time, and were happy with coming back to the house. Although maybe my sons hid the umbrella because they just wanted to stay at the house the entire time?? That could be! Honestly, we would LOVE to rent this house again! Would not hesitate for a second to come back to Anna Maria Island too! With the forecast of snow tomorrow, we just need to get over the depression of being back in the cold! Thanks so much!

    Perfect house for the fam. Kids loved the basketball court and pool and the house is well laid out and was well appointed. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach. We will be back.
