Things to Know
Please note that there is ongoing construction at the Summer House on Romar Beach complex which impacts all buildings and units on site. Construction workers will be present during standard working hours, they may need access into units at times when necessary, and construction-related noise is to be expected. Construction equipment will also be present, which can block the parking area, views from your unit's window or balcony, or block the balcony access completely. Parking is currently limited. The construction work will also block some access points, which will be rerouted as needed. These temporary walkways and railings are safe to use as instructed, and we ask that you do not enter restricted areas. Amenities may be closed as needed for construction, including the pools, hot tub, sauna, fitness center, and tennis/basketball court.
This condo allows monthly reservations from November 1 through March 1.
This property is managed by Vacasa Alabama LLC.

Summer House

The shower doors were dirty, there was a significant amount of grease on the cabinets above the microwave, pillows were stained, and a sandbur was embedded in one of the bathroom towels. The Wi-Fi did not work on the main TV. I was told to contact the Wi-Fi provider myself. I spent an hour our first night trying different things to get it to connect, and then another hour the next morning, working with the Internet provider. Two hours of my vacation time should not have been spent dealing with an issue that should’ve been handled by Vacasa. There was no parking any of the nights of our stay and I was told to park across Perdido Beach Blvd, which is a five-lane highway, and walk back over to the complex. Every day I was there, I spoke to representatives at Vacasa and the issues I had were not rectified. I asked for a late check out and was told five different times that someone would get back to me and no one ever did. I asked for partial compensation because of the troubles I experienced and I was ignored.

Typical Corp Owned Condo

Lots of little things wrong (lamps broken, bulbs out, loose balcony door handle) that adds up to being annoyed. Had to call service for leaking washer and dryer that had no heat, came out next day so that was fine. Nothing I'd rent again until it gets a lot more love for all the broken stuff.

Voted Best Dirty Unit !!

What I loved was the direct view to the beach but interior had stained bath towels, urine color stained dining chairs and furniture. It would have been better if make up or dirt was not on the comforter and no black mold on shower curtains. It would have been nice to have a sink that does drain. We stayed in the master bedroom whole time and used our own comforter and purchased wash towels to try to be comfortable. I would highly NOT recommend this unit or the property management. The staff does not care about cleanliness, Covid-19, monkey pox nor care about good services. The furniture looks like it was on the side of the street. The pots and pans are cheapest I have ever seen. If this owner is having hard times, I pray for you to get your breakthrough. I called mgmt to clean the unit and that did not happen. I figure you were not aware so I sent pictures. Kaiser was a better property mgmt 3 years ago. The unit was very clean back then which is why I booked this time. I was very uncomfortable and stressed out over the cleaning during this stay. I expected a clean unit and to relax. I am deeply disappointed in your customer service and handling of my complaint.

Somewhere in the middle

Can’t say we hated it, but we didn’t love it either. There were a few items that needed attention but pretty good overall.

Didn't meet expectations

Firstly, the Summer House looked pretty rough from the outside. Definitely needs powerwashing and paint. Stairwells were dirty and the stack of rusty shopping carts at the bottom of the stairs was surprising. Not sure why they are there and it's a bad look. As far as 502B, it was smaller than expected, but that's probably due to to huge balcony. On arrival, the condo was fairly clean except for the wrappers on the master bedroom floor, beer bottle cap on the living room rug, and stains on the comforters. All deco was very nice. We had an issue with the thermostat being locked and the air conditioning was running constantly, which made it cold in the back bedrooms. Several requests to VACASA to unlock the thermostat went no where. They said they would contact local maintenance personnel, but we were never contacted to fix the issue so we dealt with it. The AC was running constantly to the point condensation was dripping from the vents and we placed towels on the floors to prevent damage. VACASA may be a good place to use for vacation rentals, but not so much on this trip. If it wasn't for the beach and balcony were nice, but we are disappointed for the amount of money we spent.

Everything was as described and we had all we needed for a great week at the beach. More towels and a new shower curtain would have made the trip more pleasant- but no complaints! We will be back!

Beautiful condo

The condo is beautifully decorated as advertised. Location is great. Not a long walk to the beach, that was a bonus. The master bed could use a mattress topper. Our only real complaint is the balcony door wouldn’t lock. We have a 4 year old who could open it. No big deal during the day. We were worried about him waking up trying to open it. I called maintenance but they never came. We will definitely stay again.

Summer house 502b

This condo is beautiful and we loved our stay. We did have a problem with the bathtub handle falling off. We called and reported it the first day but they didn’t come till about 24 hours later. In the meantime my husband got his tools from the car and fixed it himself. And the washing machine was my enemy At one time we had to trip the breaker to reset it because it acted like it didn’t have power. When we pushed start it would start and stop and took all day to finally get it to start lol. This was every day hahahah. Now that could have been the operator or the machine but we were enemies at the end of the stay. Other then that it was a beautiful condo

Awesome condo! Everything we needed for a family vacation and more! Plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. The ice maker was such a plus! We loved the location which was close to everything and the walk to the beach was very short. We loved our stay here at Summerhouse!

This is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The condo was clean with, comfortable beds, and a fantastic balcony. Would have been 5 stars if the kitchen was better stocked with helpful items - for example salt, pepper, cooking spray, etc.
