Summerhill is a truly lovely home in a quiet, residential area that is just a short walk to the beach and shops. The décor is perfectly beachy in a cottagey, understated way. Our crew had a bit of an issue with the cleaners but that was resolved and responded to quickly. In all, a great stay and a perfect location!

My family and I had a great time at Summerhill. The house was very clean, and had all the amenities. Also, the location is fantastic. Close to shopping and the beach. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!!

The house was fantastic for our large multi generational group; it was the most well stocked house we have ever rented.

The house was perfect for a trip with extended family - lots of room to gather but also room for everyone to separate and have their own space if needed. Kids (ages 2-7) LOVED all the games, books, and toys! Adults appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. Walked to colony beach every day to swim and search in tide pools. A quick 1 mile walk to town.

We stayed here for several months in the fall and could not recommend the house any higher. It's a beautiful home (and property) that is nicely furnished/decorated and supplied. We felt like we were staying in a friends home rather than a rental. Susan is a wonderful, responsive host who helped us when questions arose. The pictures on the posting capture the house nicely, and the surrounding neighborhood is lovely!

We had a fun stay at Summerhill and there were many great things about the house that we enjoyed: it’s beautifully decorated and was clearly recently remodeled with care. It was very well equipped (extremely well-stocked kitchen, lots of beach toys and boogie boards, beach towels, movies, books and games), the beds were comfortable, the yard was great for the kids to play in and the porch is huge and perfect for hanging out. The location was also great—close to Colony beach, close to town, and walking distance to a wonderful small seafood market (Port Lobster). There were a few negative things about the house and the rental experience as well. Since the house doesn’t have air conditioning, it got somewhat uncomfortable on the hot and humid days in August and the house would benefit from the installation of some ceiling fans, particularly in the bedrooms for sleeping (the standing fans provided weren’t much help for us). A few of the bedrooms had a slight musty smell. In addition, after we left, the owner charged us an extra cleaning fee, saying that the floors and stove and cabinets were not clean. Since we had paid the fee for professional cleaning, we figured that sweeping, mopping, and general cleaning of these areas upon departure would be included. We tried to follow the check-out instructions as closely as possible and we did not think we left a mess requiring more than standard professional cleaning. We were also charged an unexpected additional fee for linens a few months after we booked.

This was our 2nd time staying at Summerhill. Hope to return again!! Plenty of space for all ten of us (6 adults, 4 children). Very kid friendly - toys, books, videos and more. We’ll equipped kitchen so we could really enjoy our nights in. Walkable to town. Owners very reachable and helpful. We felt very comfortable during our stay.

Summer Hill was a wonderful experience. All of us thought the property was even better than the pictures. We had four middle aged adults (two couples), two children (ages four and seven), and two childhood friends in their eighties. First, it's immaculate. Second, it's designed so that we could easily come together as well as spend time apart. The kitchen has absolutely everything amazing chefs could want (we coveted the high end waffle maker), and we enjoyed great dinners for the adults while the kids were able to happily play and watch tv in a small den - they were close by but separate. The childrens' books are high end and it felt like we were in a beautiful public library; the lawn toys and toys and games inside had all of their parts; and the kids loved playing both inside and out. We could also walk easily to the water to skip rocks, pick up lobsters, etc. Susan was also really responsive. We highly recommend Summer Hill!
