Summerhouse Beach Condo 512C

The condo was great, the weather was great, the food was great! What more does one need?

Check in was easy. Our Condo was very nice and clean. Beautiful view from balcony.

We have enjoyed Summerhouse since 2009. Every year there have been changes in personnel, environments, and maintenance. This year it was elevator repairs, bldg. heating repairs, and inexperienced/ineffective office personnel. Lack of useful, correct information from office.

Upon arrival, I was the only person checking in but still had to wait over 5 mins to be acknowledged. There were 3 people in the office area but no one seemed concerned. On the contrary, the lady who handled checkout was super nice! Condo very nice. Can't say spotless but was cleanest I've had in PCB. Didn't prepare any meals here but appeared to have plenty of cookware, dishes, etc. Plenty of closet space in master, 2nd bedroom closet had extra beach chairs, toys, etc which limited hanging space but wasn't a problem for our stay. Beds were comfy, didn't use sleeper sofa. Decor is tasteful, not a lot of knick-knacks everywhere. Note there's no hairdryer so bring one! This was first time we'd stayed at Summerhouse, not crowded like some of the larger properties, no elevator issues. It's an older crowd with few children. Plenty of parking. Only once saw a security guard at the entrance gate & he never looked up from his phone. Guests are issued a silicone type bracelet ($20 if you lose it) which is supposed to open pool gates, etc. but they were never locked. Our unit included 2 chairs & umbrella. The 1st day, we checked in at the tiki hut & were assigned chairs for the duration of our stay. After the first day though, the chair pads & umbrella weren't set up. There's only 1 attendant to handle chairs, jet-skis, etc so just be patient. If you want to rent jet-ski, bring cash. Need to mention there were internet/TV issues, especially the final day/night (heard this from others as well when we were checking out). Two pools, both freezing although one was supposed to be heated. Only things required before checkout was strip beds, start dishwasher, turn in bracelets/room keys/parking pass - didn't have to start a load of linens! Overall would rent again.

I would recommend unit 512C. I have been staying at Summerhouse for 5 years and would say this is the best unit in which all of the appliances working and had all of the necessary amenities. The problem I had was when I was checking in they were not organized and seem to be a little rude when you would ask them a question. The check out personal were very friendly. This was the first year that I had problems checking in. The issue with housekeeping was they did not clean the shower curtain in the master bathroom it still had mildew on the inside curtain and they didn’t leave an bedding for the sofa sleeper. But overall I would request this unit for next year. Also I hope they continue including the beach chairs and umbrella with this unit.

The Summerhouse has always been our favorite place to stay in PCB, and this trip was the same as usual- great!
