Review of Summer House 203A

Had a great stay in Summer House 203A. No complaints about the condo itself. However, if you have mobility issues, this may not be the one for you. The only way to access the second level units are two flights of very steep wooden stairs. One cool feature is a rope and pulley system that can be used to raise or lower luggage directly from the ground. That was a lot easier than hauling things down the stairs.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 August 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review, John! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great stay at Summer House West 203A. It’s fantastic that you found the rope and pulley system helpful for your luggage. We understand the stairs may be challenging for some guests, and we appreciate your feedback. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another enjoyable visit!

This condo was clean and well suited for our family of 5. This unit has multiple balconies, with a view of the ocean in front and the inland waterway in the back. We were only steps from the beach, and had use of the pool. It was a lovely place to stay & we hope to be back one day.

Great place

The only downfall was the number of stairs I had to climb (because i'm not young anymore, lol) to get into the place. This place was exactly how it was listed website. Wifi worked great, place was very clean and comfortable. The kids and I loved the view to the beach and my son loved that he could enjoy the pier for fishing. We also enjoyed the balcony views from every room. I would stay here again (when i'm in better shape, lol)

Great place

The condo was great and easily accessible to the beach. We liked having the separation from living area to bedrooms. Our only compliant was the sheets were very worn and somewhat uncomfortable. Also the bedroom my kids were in did not have a functioning ceiling fan.

Nice condo

Nice stay with family. I like that they supply you with a amenities like towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. Owner very responsive to maintenance issues. It's a steep climb up some long stairs to the 2nd floor condo we stayed in. Not a complaint though, just so you might be aware if you prefer a shorter climb.

Perfect Location

We loved the condo and the location. There was plenty of room for two adults and three teenagers. The pool was close and the beach was a lot closer than we thought (right across the street). We liked being farther away from all the action and the actual beach was perfect...sand, depth, and small waves. The views were incredible from the balconies. The only thing we had an issue with were the items that were included. We have stayed at dozens of vacation rentals and they have all included the basics...salt/pepper, garbage bags, paper towels, coffee, etc. They do advertise that they get you started, but one garbage bag and one dishwasher pod for the entire stay was unexpected so plan ahead. This could easily be fixed by having a box of supplies under the sink. There is a coffee maker, filters, but no coffee. If those little things were included, this place would be perfect.

Functional

We had a nice enough stay. The pool are was nice and kept up. The actual unit was very worn and needs to be updated. We arrived to water all over the kitchen floor from a leak in the refrigerator. Management company responded quickly, but said they would not fix or clean it up because, “they are going to replace it after you leave...” Great, but that didn’t help out situation. The sink in the bottom lav (ceramic) was split in half and glued back together. (It appears that somebody stood on it to change the lightbulb above it and it broke.). The cookware was very worn but we made it work. Both the up and down porches need to be replace Pd as you could not go out barefoot, as there were large splinters from the again, peeling, wood deck. The television and WiFi worked well, and the A/C was also very good. I guess we’ve been spoiled by nicer places, but this once certainly needs and update.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 January 2024
Thank you for providing your feedback. Our report on the refrigerator leak indicates that a shelf in the door was filled with water, which you promptly cleaned up. The issue was attributed to condensation, resulting in minor dripping. Following communication with the property owner, it was conveyed that a replacement refrigerator would be procured. Regrettably, due to delivery constraints, the new appliance was expected to arrive post your stay. We sincerely apologize for any shortcomings in the cleanliness of the condo and any other challenges you encountered during your stay. We would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to address these concerns promptly had they been brought to our attention. Our commitment to guest satisfaction is paramount and we value your input to enhance our services.

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was in close proximity to the beach and was well equipped and the beds were comfortable.The only complaint we had was that the unit was not available to us until 8 PM.After the long drive in with 2 grandbaby’s and 4 adults in 1 vehicle we were more than ready to get out of the car and get settled in.Upon arrival We found the unit had not been cleaned,as I was on the phone reporting it 2 ladies showed up saying they were there to clean and it would be ready in 30 minutes.It wasn’t cleaned to our satisfaction and was told they would send someone back out, but luckily I brought supplies to disinfect everything myself. I’m sure with a 30 minute turn around all they had time for was changing bed linens and replacing towels. Because our unit wasn’t available to us we were forced to leave,we opted to eat out, instead of eating the food we had brought with us..I was told that she was going to try to get approval to reimburse us for our dinner that night ,guess we will see. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
