We LOVED our time here! This was our first-ever family vacation. Travelers were myself, my husband, and our two young kids (3&1).
Summerchase pros:
The location of this building cannot be beat. You’re so close to the shopping centers! We’ve stayed further east before and it makes running to the store such a chore with traffic. The building is a bit dated, but the pools are clean and nice. Elevators were quick. The outdoor shower heads and hoses are nice when leaving the beach (especially for my sandy little nuggets).
Summerchase cons:
Traffic noises are sort of loud due to that prime location — and I’d imagine in the height of summer it would be much louder. Parking lot is tight, and I’d imagine parking my husband’s truck would be difficult when it’s full.
Unit 502 pros:
We loved it! The view is impossible to beat. Beds/linens were clean, and the overall unit was pretty clean. The kitchen is VERY well stocked, although it desperately needs some organization. AC worked great, shower pressure was wonderful, and I LOVED the master bath shower. There was a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, plus a small bottle of dishwashing soap, sponge, laundry tab, and dishwasher tab provided in the kitchen — which was a nice touch, as many condos don’t even provide this. Checking in could not have been easier — they text the door code to you when it’s ready.
Unit 502 cons:
The floors were a bit dirty upon arrival. The kids are little country bumpkins and immediately kicked their shoes off — within ten minutes we noticed their feet were completely black. I understand keeping the floors spotless is impossible at the beach, but I was a bit surprised to see how dirty they got so quick. It honestly didn’t really bother me (boy mom) but it’s worth mentioning since the owners undoubtedly pay good money for a cleaning service. The dishwasher seems to be wheezing along, and the toilets (after flushing) run with a high pitched sound for a strangely long time. VERY minor cons in my opinion!
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. We loved staying here and look forward to booking it again next summer!
