Summer Place B6

We had a wonderful vacation experience and thank you to Kim with Southern Coast Vacations!

The condo was in below average condition with a lot of minor issues. Burned out light bulbs, BR fan not working, ice maker not working, BR TV not working, shade to deck not working.

We rented this unit the first two weeks of April 2023.We were pleasantly surprised when we first arrived because there have been some updates compared to photos.Why they have not updated pics is beyond has been painted a more pleasing color & living area furniture has been updated.The kitchen has been replaced with laminate. Don’t understand what the relationship is between the property manager and the owner.We had inquired as to the status of the TVs shown. Manager claimed they were the same but there is a flat screen in each bedroom & main living area. We were expecting the air handler on the balcony but it is really sad it takes up SO much valuable area on the small balcony (and also the master bedroom’s closet).There were a few cleanliness issues:carpet is DISGUSTING in the main area & NEEDS to be is dirty,musty & VERY stained.We found some trash under one of the twin beds that hadn’t been picked up.We also had to take time to clean out two drawers next to the stove that had silverware and the few cooking utensils.They were both full of crumbs that had to have been there for quite a while for the volume cleaned out.
We were very anxious to see the bathrooms because there were no photos available.They are not bad – small and dated but manageable.I did see another commentor mention about the broken shelf in the master’s medicine cabinet (that was very annoying).This same bathroom’s fan was LOUD & on the morning of our departure there was a loud “pop” and it stopped working.We did drop off the keys with a few comments about maintenance needed (bathroom fan,faulty stove dial,guest toilet does not flush well,light over kitchen sink not working properly).The kitchen is definitely bare bones. Very grateful to prior renter for buying silverware & leaving it.We love the Cherry Grove area & this unit did provide a nice family time. The beach is extremely close and the views/sounds of the ocean is what MAKES th

Condo needs to be upgraded. Rug needs to be replaced! Pots and pans old need an upgrade also. No silverware so went to Walmart and bought a cheap set. Parking a challenge at times! Especially during the week when the electrician/carpenter take up athe spaces! Fire alarm system is a joke! I was there 3 months and it went off 10 times! Fire Truck dog and pony show had to come each time! Too sensitive and way too loud! Way too many steps to climb. If you have bad knees or handicapped forget it! Positive the view of the ocean was amazing!!

Great condo for the price. The condo had been updated some since the pictures were taken. Stayed with my wife, two kids(3 and 2m) and our golden doodle. We were very happy with how clean it was for allowing dogs. It was nice having the towels and sheets provided. The pool was great and easy beach access.we would recommend this condo.

Check in and the place were nice. The room smelled really bad upon arrival. I bought several air fresheners and that helped to rid the place of the smell. The carpet was very soiled which probably is not the best for a place where pets are allowed. Other than that, we enjoyed the location and everything else went well.

Very relaxing. A week of fun in the sun with my two sisters and puppy Kiah. the location is great. Just a few steps from the beach. Sitting on the balcony felt and sounded like being right by the ocean side.

Beautiful beach and area.
The condo needs a supply review - silverware and pans. The carpet is really worn and needs to be replaced.
Check in was confusing - better directions would be helpful.

We enjoyed our stay. The location of the property is perfect. Small improvements like a keyless entry, and soap in the bathrooms would make this place ideal.

We go to the beach to chill out, rid our bikes and take the dog for walks. We spent the week going for walks on the beach and just wandering around the area. Good place to just decompress

Location was fabulous and very quiet and overall the whole complex was well maintained. Few minor issues I will mention. Carpets should be steam cleaned and a new mattress for the master bedroom. The present one is old and worn out but everything else was perfect and we had a great time

We enjoyed the condo and the ability to have our dog there.

Right on the beach, immaculate, family friendly and just a great week. No elevators and its lot of trips unloading and loading. Aside from that no complaints and would definitely come back and recommend.

Condo was fine. Carpet needs to be removed and hot water temp needs to be lowered. Pool was disgusting first week we were there. Had to call for someone to come clean it. We've been staying here for at least 10 years, never saw the pool look like this. Pool company did come out and start taking care of it.

We were very pleased with our condo. Loved the location and atmosphere. We'd definitely stay there again

Great!

Nice place, great location

Had a great time as always. Was a little disappointed due to the fact the pool was closed but we understood with the COVID it had to be done

Check in is at 4:00 but we arrived at 3:30 and were told they were still cleaning our condo so after a 10 hour drive we waited another half hour in the parking lot. No problem except the place was filthy and the smoke detector was beeping when we got there so I don't think the cleaning person just left.
The pictures are not an accurate representation of this condo. This place is dirty, we spent the first two hours of vacation cleaning, we covered the couch with a sheet so we could sit on it. There were no light bulbs in the living room fixtures, there was no door knob on the back door to get to the patio, the air conditioning unit is on the patio so you can't sit out there because it is loud and blows hot air. The rug is filthy, why would you have rug when it is pet friendly? The furniture has been chewed on by prior pets. We brought our own linens but the mattress covers were gross, I could go on and but the last straw was the roach(not a palmetto bug). We tried to make the best of it but we packed up and ended our vacation early, we drove 10 hours home Tuesday after spending the morning at the rental office. There are so many rules for renters to follow but they need to make sure the owners have guidelines to follow. This is the worst vacation I have ever had, what a disappointment to have to come home after just a few days. We were refunded our money but that does not make up for a lost vacation. The location is the only positive, if they put a little effort into this place it could be nice.

We had the best time with our Granddaughter and 2 small dogs. The condo is on the beach and is just steps from the ocean. My only complaint was that the condo could use a few updates. The furniture is not very comfortable, and the carpet needed to be cleaned. Overall, we would consider staying here again.

After coming to Cherry Grove for the past 30 summers, we decided to try a fall vacation for my wife’s 50th birthday. The weather was perfect and we had the beach all to ourselves. It was spectacularly.

We loved the place everything worked everything was clean pool was great plus pet friendly great place will book again

Overall the stay was very nice and restful - just a few items need to be addressed by the owner or property management: Hot water is "extremely hot - would say scalding" and needs to be adjusted. Owner should review the items in the kitchen - there were only 4 regular place setting knives and very few forks (believe same number but not positive). Could not locate a spatula other than a "huge" one for a grill - being all metal it was not a good choice as the frying pan was a coated pan. Did not see measuring cups either. So just provide those items yourselves and place is a nice stay!

We have been going to Cherry Grove for 30+ years and have stayed at same condo (Sea Cloisters) owned by my in-laws for three decades. This year my wife’s mother passed away and they sold the condo so we had to get another place. We found this unit online and we chose it because of the price, location, and because it allowed dogs. We are used to very clean and very nice units, so I suppose we came in a bit over expecting. When we came in the door we were greeted with the overwhelming fragrance of carpet fresh masking pet odors. I was a bit perplexed to see wall to wall carpet in the unit that allowed dogs. (Tile or even linoleum would have been perfect). Soon the carpet fresh scent wore off and we adjusted. It had an “ocean view” balcony, but half of the balcony is taken up by a large, noisy, air conditioner unit. There were two plastic chairs to sit on and some type of plastic shelf that fell over every time the wind blew too hard. If you don’t mind the rumbling of the AC unit and getting blown with hot air, it was a nice view. The shower head in the shower is made for a person who is about 5’-0”. If you are 5-10 the water hits you in the chest. If you are 6 foot...you might want to take a bath. Also it seemed like the kitchen was only equipped for a family of three, so if you have a bigger family, you might want to bring extra utensils. These were the only negative things I can say about the unit and the way I see it, all are easily fixed. Overall, it was a highly mediocre place, and that was fine with us. All we wanted to do was lay on the beach and use the unit for sleeping and eating. This review is not meant to be negative. It is only to help the owners or staff fix a few things to make it better. I would go back again, and I would recommend this unit to anyone who was just looking for a decent place to retreat to after spending the day on the beach. PS. The staff we talked to were very nice, helpful and professional.

Had a wonderful stay. 2nd year staying here and plan to stay many more years to come.

we arrived and were most surprised at the beach,,, right infront of the balcony. They allow dogs and the condo was spotless. It was basically decorated in 70's fashion. airconditioning was steady and efficient. You hv to be able to climb stairs if you want 2nd level. we would return.

I have stayed at the Summer Place condominiums in the past. I orinally booked a Unit A6 but due to some unexpected maintenance I was asked to relocate to unit B6. This unit was a disappointment from my past experience. I understand it is pet friendly but walking into yellow urine spots that never were cleaned on the carpet was disgusting. The carpet was full of stains and the unit smelled like urine. The walls had spots from something that missed the trash can in the kitchen and a thorough cleaning is needed. I will not recommended this unit and I am reconsidering staying at Summer Place in the future.

issues with toilet first thing; TV's in bedrooms are too small; master bed needs to be replaced; insects in kitchen area

The condo is very small, so small in fact that the carpet stayed damp due to the humitity. This cause me to become sick 2 days in so the remaining 5 days of my vacation were not enjoyable. Also parking was a nightmare.

I got what the reviews warned about... TV'S from the 80's, kitchen very poorly equipped(we had to eat dinner out every night), front screen door won't close, front solid door needs a paint job, pillows are old &flat with drool stains.. and so on. BUT, the location is wonderful!!!It would take soo little to improve B6!!!

We loved having a beachfront location. The condo itself was worn and outdated. The second bedroom's blinds didn't keep the fluorescent light from coming through at night. There was no advance notice given when a guy showed up and used a pass key to come in to spray for bugs. Luckily we were there and asked him to wait until we had left ( with our dog).

Summer Place B was very nice. We enjoyed our stay and will stay again. Staff was great as well. The parking was the only minor issue. Maybe assign spots to each condo to prevent the parking lot being so the actual renters don't have to park across the street in the overflow. Otherwise it was a fantastic trip!

the condo was filthy. The carpet had so many stains, we didn't want to take our shoes off. The kitchen floor was stained yellow. The bathrooms had to be scrubbed before we could use them. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom had so much dust, it was hanging off the sides of the blades. The Televisions in the unit were a joke. The rental company was not very sympathetic. They offered to send in a cleaning crew, but if this was the way they cleaned the first time - forget it. I spend an entire day scrubbing the kitchen floor, cleaning the bathrooms and bedrooms. I would never recommend this condo to anyone. The overall complex is nice - but beware of this unit and whatever cleaning company the property management uses.

The location was excellent, but the unit itself was a little disappointing. The biggest disappointment was the balcony, which is tiny and virtually unusable. There is a spectacular view, but about 50% of the space is taken up with an enormous air conditioning unit which constantly blows out hot air. When the temperature outside is 100 degrees, it isn't possible to sit on the balcony. The sofa bed was broken and unusable. The air conditioning vent constantly drips onto the table underneath it, and the carpet is always damp. The kitchen is very sparsely equipped, and the pots and pans are very poor quality (all peeling non-stick). The shower head in one of the bathrooms kept falling off, but maintenance replaced it.

This could be a nice place with updates and a good cleaning. I had requested and paid for linen service but when we arrived there was none. It was after hours & I left a message. Linen did arrive a few hours later. The condo was dirty in places & had not been updated with new living room furniture in a while as the couch was not in good shape. I love Cherry Grove but will likely not use this condo again. The management company was helpful but the linen situation was quite annoying after being on the road all day.

THE DEN FURNITURE IS WORN OUT, AS SOON AS WE FLUSHED T5HE COMADE IT BROKE WE PAID 7.00 FOR A PIECE TO FIX IT. ON THURSDAY 29 OUR LITTLE DOG WAS ATTACKED ON THE BEACH BY ANOTHER DOG 800.00 BILL HER DOG WAS NOT ON A LEASH.

Great people to rent from love the condo would stay here again anytime
