House is very nice and a great location View is fabulous. Strongly suggest the living room furniture be updated. Not very comfortable especially if you are tall.
Overall great experience
Nice, clean home. A well stocked kitchen!
great experience with this beautiful ocean front home. Comfortable and clean. Would stay again!
There were quite a few rusted nails that were loose and if one of us stepped on it it would have been pretty horrible (on the stairs and deck and railing (some of the deck boards seemed loose too). Also, another issue was that in the kitchen there were a lot of gnats ( we did not leave the doors open and we did not leave any standing water around ) - they were quite gross and they were all over the kitchen. Overall a great oceanfront beach house that needs a bit more TLC. Thanks!
Summer Place is an adorable beach cottage that has recently been redone Inside. The outside still needs some work but the Inside is beautifully done. We really enjoyed our stay at Summer Place until the air conditioner quit working. After reporting that it was 84 degrees in the house, management quickly sent someone to work on the air conditioner. He thought he had fixed the problem but the next day it was 86 degrees in the house. Thankfully Carolina Retreats was able to move us to another home that was also oceanfront. So glad our vacation was not ruined!!
Need a full length mirror and blackout shades.
From the outside, this property looks like an old-time beach cottage; however, the inside is almost completely updated and decorated with an attractive modern designer flair. Really lovely view of the beach with beach access from the back deck. We saw some gorgeous sunrises right from the living room. Because of the location of the house and the time of our stay (late September) we had a huge stretch of beach virtually to ourselves most of our stay. The house is advertised as suitable for six and it really would be six adults or older children/teens--I would not suggest this location for young children because it is a smaller space not really room to get rambunctious in. Cons--the almost updated means that the bathtubs/showers and their fixtures are extremely dated and finicky, probably from the 1980s and poor drainage. Decking also showing age with loose boards and loose nails! No screens on sliding doors and outside stair from drive lacked any lighting. Presumably the owners are renovating bit by bit and hopefully will complete the updates soon. The only other con is that there is no fencing around the property or the beach access so we several times saw random strangers (men) coming from under the house, across the lawn and using the beach access. Some of the neighboring houses had fenced their lawns and gated their beach access, maybe advisable for the owners to do that with this cottage to avoid trespassing. Overall we would stay here again.
The house was just as pictured in the listing so there were no surprises. It was clean and the management company was responsive with the few minor issues we had. It was a great place to relax and the beach was nice and wide.
Loved this little CA vibe cottage. We loved the porch as much as the inside and short distance to the beach. Be prepared to want to stay forever.
