It was ok
The room was ok. I think for the price there could be updates and switches that were loose replaced. My biggest problem was the bathroom pictures don’t show that when you try to close the pocket door between the bathrooms that there is a big whole cut out where the handle was. It was hard to pull closed to section off the two bathrooms. Might as well just be a single bathroom with 2 toilets. I hope they get that fixed.
I have stayed at the Summit many times, the first time for this unit. They are all pretty much the same layout. I love the fact this unit has a washer and dryer as well extra blankets. It was clean and well-decorated. Check-in and out was seamless.

Reviewer Comments:
We were happy with our choice for a long stay this year. It wasn’t perfect. The drain in the second bathroom kept clogging. The deck furniture needs to be updated. The condo, however, made everything okay. Great location and lots to do. We would stay again.

The room was great..other than neighbors smoking dope and it getting into our room. Management at the condo was afraid to do their job and couldn't care less. Only 2 of 4 elevators were working. We will definitely not stay at this condo again.

Sand was in bed when arrived. Kitchen was not stocked compared to other beach condos and glass tables are a terrible idea. Long wait on elevators almost the entire time. The gym equipment was terrible. On a good note the condo cost slightly less than many others and the stay overall was good.

Reviewer Comments:
I didn’t originally book this room, but the condo we rented was sold and they move us to this unit. The views are beautiful, the location is great. The pictures are accurate; however the room is outdated not very clean when we arrived, smells like mold, everything is falling apart like the wall plugs coming out the sockets, doors falling apart, rusted vents, and nasty ceiling. I wouldn’t recommend staying at this unit, there’s better options to stay. The summit doesn’t have heated pools or a nice hot tube that doesn’t look like you will catch something from it, but the tiki bar was awesome and the staff was friendly. Great time, but disappointed in the condo and resort.

Reviewer Comments:
The overall experience of this condo is just ok. Upon entry the unit wasn’t properly cleaned and we had to clean when we arrived. There was no dustpan in the unit so that had to be purchased by us. We were told there were two toilets and there was but one was taped off and couldn’t be used and the water was also turned off. We reached out and never got responses after we were asked to provide pictures. The sliding glass door was also broken and couldn’t be locked. Just a lack of upkeep from management definitely. The view from the balcony is lovely. The beds were in decent shape. Kitchen is lacking on utensils and pots. There are 4 towels and 4 washcloths so if u need more or don’t want to wash them everyday then bring extras. The complex itself is ok considering it is one of the oldest in PCB. The elevators were broken more than half the time. We would not rebook this unit and are not sure we would even consider booking with this rental company again because it is obvious that if u have an issue they do not care.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was dirty when we arrived. It was 4:30. We ended up cleaning it ourselves because no one showed up to clean until around 9 pm. The globes were off the lights. The toilet seat by the shower has a crack in it and it will pinch you.
We arrived security was nice. Went to office gentlemen was rude. We opened our unit furniture and condo furniture was nice looked like pictures. However upon unpacking and checking out condo we found roaches crawling on the walls In the living room they were small so we didn’t think much of it. Then when we laid out the sofa bed they came crawling out in numbers. We had them crawling even in our shower which I took pictures of and a video showing they were live. I think the condo was clean as a unit but was infested due to a couple of buildings being vacant beside this condo due to a previous hurricane. But over all we swept and killed roaches the whole trip as well as cleaned unit.
The other bad part is the elevator was a nightmare. 4 elevators and 2 were never working . Wait times were up to 20 min just to get an elevator. So I would not stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
Check in was at 4pm but Housekeeping was not done with our room until 5pm or later. Once they were done, It still wasn't too clean, I swept up 2 dust pans of sand and a couple small liquor bottles from under the bed. Roaches were everywhere! Baby and adult roaches were In the fridge, dishwasher, under counters, on top of counters, in the bedroom, and in the living room. I will never stay here again. Not the owners fault but The elevators were also a huge problem. Not enough elevators for the amount of people. We took the steps many times to keep from waiting 20+ minutes for the elevator.

Zero communication and accountability for the safety of their guests
Property not cleaned thoroughly. Bed sheets were not even changed. The worst part is safety. They allowed someone in our room without our knowledge. We found out that they keep all door codes in this building the exact same! They lied to us when we asked them about it. They would not consider changing our code for us. They completely ignored us after our first call. Zero accountability. It is despicable. Do Not Stay Here. Do not rent from Emerald Coast Destination Inc (ECDI) period

Reviewer Comments:
It was not a good experience at all! There were roaches everywhere and black mold under the kitchen sink and above the bunk bed. After multiple emails they finally came and sprayed and we still had roaches on the living room wall and in the master bedroom it was disgusting! I will never stay here again!
We rented a condo from them for 2 weeks. When we arrived, the refrigerator had dozens of dead and alive cockroaches. The coffee pot also contained one. We emailed them the pictures and they sent someone out to spray, but we had to clean it up ourselves. The next day, the ceiling starts leaking water in the kitchen and on the bed in the master bedroom. I called the emergency number and spoke to a girl about my concerns of the continued cockroaches making their way into the fridge and the wet bed. She promised she would talk to her manager and call me back. I never heard back, so I called back and left 3 voicemails. Still no response. While the leaks stopped, the cockroaches kept coming. They were also in the dishwasher and every cabinet/drawer! One ended up in my 3 year old’s shoe even!! Additional emails and calls went unanswered so we ended up leaving early. Avoid renting from this company. I know I will in the future. 18 years of coming to PCB and I have never met such terrible customer service or so many cockroaches!!
We went on spring break we always go during summer .there were shootings almost every night. The spring breakers were just a little out of control this year. The summer is a great place I would continue to stay there just not going on spring break
