Overall, the condo was nice and in a great location. However, the guest bedrooms mattresses and bedding needs replaced. The bunk room especially, the top boxspring had strings hanging all down and the comforters are like a paper towel-thin and had a big hole in it. The stove is off balance; screen door had fallen off; no proper Knives and what was there was too dull to cut anything; coffee pot was moldy; poor water pressure in the master shower; guest bathroom had mold in shower head; the TV's are outdated; and to top it off, we found a poisonous snake inside the condo.

At first I will not lie management was great with emailing back and forth with us before we got there. They even helped us add another night that we needed for the wedding we there for...
However things turned quickly. We arive just after midnight to the location to get our keys which by the way is 15 minutes away from the actual place so plan accordingly there.. While we are unpacking our things the kids are just playing a little and there feet are black from the amount of dirt on the floors. Next morning wake to eat something at the dinning room table. Have to clean that off as it was disgusting. Send pictures over to the management and while we are waiting for a response we have to kill 3 bugs. And not just a little thing.. a spider the size of a half dollar and 2 round bugs the size of a penny.. I get email back saying that they will send the cleaning crew out again to clean the floors and the place again while we are out.. Great and once they did come back the place was much better... However where we had the biggest problem is when management called and the lady on the phone doesn't seem to care at all and not taking any ownership of the cleaning crew possible not doing there job.. Her first comment to me was " we obviously are not going to make you happy so what I will do for you right now is offer you a full refund for you to leave right now!!" It's Memorial Day weekend mind you, do you think anything else out there would be available?? Then comments on the pictures we sent over about the table that we whipped down saying that it looks like we whipped the finish off the table... HUH?? We used a paper towel and water... Whoever owns this place should really look into something else as this was the worse experience we had with a management company through VRBO.

We paid premium for this location. Summer Winds is a place near and dear to my heart. The place was dirty and stunk with a damp old musty smell. I grew up going to summer winds and know what a well kept condo looks like. Everything had stains on it even the mattress covers had stains. They did not provide linens since we only stayed 4 nights. They did not communicate what that really entailed. There were no dish towels, no bath mats, no tissues, no dishwasher detergent. All those things were not listed on the must bring list. They do not provide paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap etc. Summer winds is a wonderful place to stay but I would not recommend staying at this condo based on the conditions I stayed in.

The pool and beach access were close to the condo which was great. With it being on the first floor it made it easier bringing bags back from the pool and beach. Appliances were updated and nice. Be prepared to bring your own cleaning supplies. I was overall disappointed by the cleanliness of the condo. There was a dried spill on the backside of the bar where the eating chairs were. The guest bathroom had mold growing on the wall near the shower as well as the vent and ceiling. The shower curtain had mold and mildew on it too.

Great location! Rental unit could use a deep clean and some updates. I am not in need of high end finished but the bathrooms and carpets need some cleaning and updating for sure. I put that I would recommend this to a friend but it would come with some clear explanations of what to expect from the unit.Also hoping the mngt deals with the dryer. It does not stop on its own for sensor or timed drying. Find this to be very dangerous and did right a note with the key return for the rental managment

If your a foodie and love to cook on your vacation with all the fresh seafood! Bring your own cookware utensils knifes serving bowls sheet pans ect!! We read the reviews and brought our own cleaning supplies, which was a good thing! Condo needed a good cleaning . The master mattress has been upgraded but the other bedrooms need a upgrade ! Bring your own pillows too!! On a positive note we loved the location steps to the pool and a short walk to the beach! Was able to have coffee from the patio and watch the ocean in the morning! We would rent this unit again ! But be better prepared! Not our first condo at summer Wind and not our worst either !!

It is a fantastic location. First floor, no steps, right across from one of the 4 pools. Only a few steps from the steps to the ocean.
A few things really need addressed-the cleanliness of the bathrooms-I ended up buying some cleaner and a Mr. Clean eraser to clean the bottom of my tub. The bathrooms really need updated, especially the shower heads. I could see that some of the beds had been newly purchased, however the rest need to be replaced. The kitchen sink leaks. Refrigerator and microwave are new. Washer and dryer were good, too. The silverware needs replaced or at least add some forks and spoons. You also need basic kitchen stuff like dishwasher pods, liquid dish soap and paper towels. Overall, we had a great vacation. We would definitely stay there again.

The location of this unit was fabulous, first floor right by the pool which my grandkids loved! The unit is old and needs to be updated, the hardwood floors were very dirty...vacuumed but hadn’t been washed in a long time! Bathrooms nothing to rave about, kitchen fine but lacking in amenities such as a complete set of measuring cups...glad I brought a lot of things from home! We love Summerwinds but would like to find something on the first floor that is updated.

Ground floor, right next to the pool. Ocean was maybe a 100 steps away. Beaches were white sand and beautiful. Lots to do within 10-30 minutes for day trips. Only suggestion- make sure to bring basic kitchen stuff like paper towels, and kitchen towels. There were plenty of cookware, but no coffee filters or other basic staples.

Great location, right next to one of the pools and short walk to the beach. This is a lovey unit. I would recommend the owners write about the TV and usage of the remote it took us a while to get the sound on. But overall, the beach is gorgeous. It it quite in October. I cannot day what it is like in the summer but definitely go for a little R&R. I was visiting my son for his liberty weekend from Marines.

Excellent location!!!
This was our second time this summer staying at summer winds and our second unit. The location of this one was AMAZING! We typically never stay on a bottom unit but being able to walk right out to the pool and not having to tote things up and down stairs sounded very appealing so we went for it and I am so glad we did! We had 4 adults and 2 children staying in the unit and everyone was very comfortable and had their own space. The bathrooms are very small so be prepared for that and the rooms do not have ceiling fans so if you are used to sleeping with a fan, I recommend bringing a portable one, the unit should have a stand alone fan in each room in my opinion. The cleanliness was sub-par if you ask me. There was a huge rug in living room that was just kind of gross and same with under the dining table. The kitchen was well stocked which was nice. Both bathroom shower heads were HORRIBLE! I should have let the property manager know but forgot, this is a simple upgrade that would make a HUGE difference! Everyone enjoys a nice shower when coming in from the beach and that was IMPOSSIBLE in these showers. There was also like 4 lights out which was annoying but we just dealt with it, the place could use better lighting overall. Overall this place was great (especially the location of the unit on the property) but the cleanliness could use a step up, especially during these times. We would stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
This condo’s proximity to the pool and beach access is ideal. The beds are horrible! Specifically, the master and the bunks (top bunk is inaccessible as the ladder is against the wall. We didn’t use the top as I was uncomfortable with my 6 year old getting up/down. She thought the dresser at the end of the bed was the perfect way to access. Thank God we were in the room when she shared this idea and thankful she listened when we shared the dangers of attempting such! This is an accident waiting to happen!) My husband and I slept in the master and by the end of the week our 30-something backs were killing us! Bring extra pillows as well.
I will also add, the kitchen is ill-equipped, to say the least, and things like a working can opener, you may way to bring. No blender. Not even a simple plastic pitcher. Don’t overdo grocery purchases as dry storage is limited but workable. There is also a lack of flatware so we found ourselves running the dishwasher after every meal so we could have a fork/spoon/knife when needed.
All negatives aside, we did enjoy our vacation and loved walking out the door to the pool/beach. Just a heads up. Based on previous reviews and mine, I hope the owner will make some simple improvements to make this condo, and its location, the gem even we could see through the rough.

This condo’s (SW 204B) proximity to the pool/beach access is ideal. The beds, specifically mattresses, are HORRENDOUS!

The condo complex is well cared for and the numerous pools was an added bonus. Our one complaint was the unit was advertised as sleeping 8 but there were only beds for 7. It was clean but the bathrooms were a bit dated and the bedding/pillows could have been better. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Our family rented 2 units at Summerwinds. This unit has a very spacious living room and dining room, so when all 9 of us got together, it was always in our unit. The dining room table easily accommodated 8 adults and a high chair. The kitchen could be a little better equipped, but we managed. The bed in the master was very uncomfortable, and did not have enough pillows. The closets have a musty smell. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Cute condo with great location and easy access to pools and beach! Would like to stay again if beds were upgraded. The bottom of the barrel mattress was a bummer and had me sleeping on the couch near the end of the stay.

We had a great time on our stay. Was perfect space for 2 adult and kids. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and was tight. The bunk bed room really needs updated. They felt like they were going to cave in. The kitchen needs to be more stocked no bowls or silverware. Would stay again but one family. Loved the amenities with the pools and the snack stand during the day. Staff was so nice.

Loved the proximity to the ocean and pool. Grounds were well maintained and the unit nicely decorated.
Only problem was the AC. AC could not be under 74 otherwise the system would start leaking from the vents. This was not low enough to keep the whole apartment cool and comfortable. Had to purchase additional fans for the guest bedrooms.
