We had a great stay! The condo was beautiful, exactly as described and what’s in the pictures. Very clean!
My only issue was that maintenance needed to come by to charge the ring doorbell camera, and we were not alerted ahead of time. We were on the balcony and one of us was in the shower when he came by, and when we did not answer right away, he decided to try to let himself in. for what we paid, I would’ve at least thought that they would’ve notified us of this.
Other than that everything was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again!- Reviewed On: 7/28/2026
We moved this condo. It was very clean and comfortably for our family of four. I loved being on the 3rd floor, we were able to skip the elevator, which is always nice. The host was very responsive as well.- Reviewed On: 7/22/2026
Everything about this property was great! The views couldn’t be beat and the hotel was very lively and fun! My daughter found so many friends and loved the nightly entertainment around the pool. The 3rd floor room is perfect bc you can take the stairs when the elevators are busy (and they will be). Outside noise was a little loud but wouldn’t bother me for future stays! Overall couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place for our vacation!- Reviewed On: 6/8/2026

We love staying at the Summit. Unit 312 was very comfortable. The furniture was more than sufficient for the two of us. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were clean and very nice. Everything was clean and neat. Plenty of plates, glasses, and utensils. A starter supply of dish soap, dishwasher cleaner, and laundry detergent, and paper products. Overall extremely satisfied with the unit. Would like to come back again.- Reviewed On: 9/25/2025
