Years spent at Summer House

We've been staying at Summer House off and on for 30 yrs. Started when our kids were young and now returning with their kids. Love it! However over the years I have had several back surgeries that prevented me from traversing the new high pitched stairs to the beach. That prevented me from being able to enjoy my walks on the beach and no handicapped walkways. You might want to add that to ypur info. And please add dish towels & something to scrub pots with to your kitchen...tks

You asked

Smelled very musty. 3 out of 4 blowing nose whole time. No allergies. One hot pad one dish towel. Needed to use our own garbage bags. No sponge to wash dishes. Back door did not lock. PVC pipe for a door lock. Could have had more shower towels. We had no bath mat. Throw rugs need to be replaced. How about upgrading the TV. How about a railing around the step down. We had several people trip on it. All of this is very petty but we have stayed at Summer House numerous times. Thank you. You asked and I’m giving you my thoughts.

Perfect property for the price.

First of all, I'd like to say that this listing does a great job of showcasing what it is -- that view across the pool to the beach steps: that's the actual view. Walk out sliding glass door and hop in heated pool or continue on a few steps to the beach. No hidden ugly stuff. Here's where my gripes come in (we'll get those out of the way) -- the storms ripped the walkways off and you have to walk to the far end of the complex to enter the beach. The good news: they were repairing the stairs while we were there so by the time you're reading this it probably won't be an issue. More good news: the beaches were a little trashed by the storms a few months back when we were there last time -- but have fully recovered and are their beautiful selves. My second gripe is so petty I hate to list it but as a fishing photographer -- that loves to cook -- I have to. This is a completely functional kitchen...but a $50 trip to Amazon for some pans would make it 10x better. Fighting an egg off that old beast was a mission -- something more complex would be an impossibility. OK, I feel better. On to the good: The management is fast, prepared, friendly, and a breeze. The parking is lovely: your parking spot is 10 steps from your door -- making unpacking easy -- but not in a common area thus providing adequate privacy. The pool wasn't busy -- quiet and mellow -- but open until 11 for a late night dip (if required). The condo is in very nice shape as these things go -- you get what you pay for in this life -- but I felt this was well worth it (spacious and clean). The complex itself -- while not brand new by any means -- is well-maintained and looks nice. What's really cool about it: it's the end of the world. This community is the last on the island before the bridge, making it uncrowded but adding the benefit of access to both sides (the beach and the river) through Fort Matanzas and the adjacent parking areas. They have distinctly different characters and both ourselves and our 6yo daughter enjoyed both beaches. We caught whiting on the beach and speckled trout in the river. The pompano will be in the surf in 2 weeks. I wish I could post pictures because I have great ones of the sunrises, sunsets, fish, and beaches you can expect to encounter but take my word for it -- they're excellent. Thought I'd mention we've stayed in Crescent Beach at numerous places over the years so we aren't complete idiots on the subject. Lastly, cheers.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our grandson was here for a surprise visit and we decided to stay at the beach for a few days. We love staying at Summerhouse and have made many return visits over the years. We love the beach location and the multiple pools on the premises. The negative for us is a personal one with the unit which is the step down to the family room area. I had forgotten some of the units still have this feature.

Added to the list of Stay Again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Summer House. We travel to Crescent Beach yearly. The place is spacious, close to the beach and has a pool, if you are looking for that added attraction. The neighbors were very friendly and the place was peaceful, not loud and out of hand. 228 is well maintained, we just noticed our first night that the floors needed to be mopped, not just swept. Not a big deal, obviously, we will be returning, but our feet were black on the bottom after just a couple of hours of arriving. The towels and sheets smelled clean and were comfortable, as were the bathrooms and kitchen area. Plenty of room for your belongings as well. Big closets and storage containers/bins for clothes. Nice television and furniture for relaxing and eating. Had more items for our fun than expected; beach chairs, cards, domino's, and many books for your relaxation pleasure! It is not commercialized, but St. Augustine is close by for shopping, dining and site seeing. Definitely a place to stay for fun and relaxation, we already recommended it to a friend and family member for consideration.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very relaxing stay in this condo with plenty a room for us and the kids. The kitchen was pleasant to cook in and the beds and furniture were comfortable. It was a lifesaver to have a washer and dryer available! Unfortunately the pool in front of this condo was not heated as it was advertised to be.

Reviewer Comments: They need to inform the renters whenever there is a change in rental agreement. we were surprised that our rental unit was changed and we did not find out until we were picking up the keys. of course the changed unit was much better than the original.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property met our expectations in every way. We loved the white sand and clean beach which wasn't crowded. The management was helpful and supplied our only request, which was a light bulb. We meant to ask about grocery stores when we checked in, but forgot, so that would have been a helpful suggestion. We were given several restaurant suggestions and visited one of those. The weather cooperated and we had a delightful time.

Absolutely Fantastic!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 6 spent four nights at Summerhouse 228 for spring break. These accomodations are amazing....everything about our stay at 228 was nothing but perfect!!! The Summerhouse is classy but cozy, beautiful inside with a spectacular view of the ocean in the distance. We enjoyed walking the relatively short distance to the beach and enjoyed strolling beside the ocean for hours. The pool is just perfect and very well maintained and cleaned. We had fun on the tennis courts and everyone we encountered was pleasant and friendly. The surrounding neighbors were all very pleasant but quiet so as not to disturb anyone. We just had a marvelous time and definitely would love to make plans to return to 228!!!! Thank you

Overall Positive

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros - The condo is cute and had enough space for our group. Having two bathrooms was nice. The sliding glass doors looked out to the pool and the ocean is just behind it. These particular condos are more out of the way and in a quiet area which was nice. Cons - the property is still repairing from the hurricanes. 3 out of the 4 pools were operational with ours being one of them. Only one of the four beach accesses were open and it was not ours but it wasn't a huge deal just a bit of a further walk. The condo looks clean but after the first day my son's feet were almost black from the floors. I think it may have something to do with tracking in sand. They didn't leave more than 4 rolls of toilet paper for five days for five people and no trash bags. They ask that we put a load of towels or sheets in the wash machine before you leave. We did and accidentally left personal things in the dryer. I messaged the company within a few hours who said they would contact the cleaning company. After a few weeks of not hearing anything I contacted them again and they said that the cleaners didn't find anything which is not possible considering they had to put the loads of towels we started into the dryer that contained our items. Also, they were no instructions before arrival to go to the company's office instead of the property's office which caused some confusion. Overall I would recommend the property and we had a lovely time!

Summerhouse review: a new mattress is a MUST!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at summerhouse multiple times. This place was the biggest in size, which we liked. The kitchen and everything was nice! The biggest thing that I would like to complain about is the bed. The two single beds were good but the larger bed in the master bedroom was so hard it was like sleeping on a cement floor. I would love to come back to that specific room but only if the master bed had a new mattress with maybe a pillowtop or something to make it softer.
