2024 Girls Trip
Reviewed on 2024-10-20 by , Melbourne Beach, FL United States5 ladies who went to high school together had a great time! The location can’t be beat and elevator was a plus however did get stuck a couple times. Beds very comfortable and plenty of room throughout the house for us all.
We loved the house !!
Reviewed on 2024-09-15 by Lynette G. , Cave Spring, GA United StatesThis was our first stay in Summer Lovin and everything was so perfect for our couples trip! The kitchen was stocked with everything you will need! The 6 bedrooms and baths were perfect for our group! We will be staying there again!
Perfect for our large family!
Reviewed on 2024-09-11 by , Gainesville, GA USWe were very pleased with the space of this home. Everyone having the ability for their own privacy was a plus. The bunk room and pool for the grand babies was a plus, when it rained. One of the TV's upstairs did not work, which we probably would not have noticed had it not rained. The property was clean, and the one issue with internet was corrected promptly. On the rain days there are indoor water parks, which the kids and adults enjoyed. Overall we were pleased with this home and have booked for next year.
Perfect beach house
Reviewed on 2024-09-03 by , Horton, AL United StatesThe owners of this rental make your stay perfect. It has all you need to relax and enjoy your time at the beach. It was so nice to have plenty of towels for each bathroom and to have more than one towel for the kitchen area. The added bonus of a frig downstairs was awesome. We will definitely return to this rental and highly recommend it. <br/>

Beach Retreat
Reviewed on 2024-05-14 by Maxey B. , Cottontown, TN USHome was spacious, layout to give everyone privacy or to come together. Main deck was good size with comfortable seating. Upper deck could use some better seating. Management responded quickly to what issues we had. 2nd refrigerator downstairs was really handy since we did have a issue with the main floor refrigerator ice maker not working. Elevator was a nice amenity especially loading and unloading items. Location was convenient to everything but being next to a public beach access I could see how it could cause crowded conditions in peak times. Home was clean but furnishings are starting to show some wear. Overall I would stay here again as the good outweigh what issues we had.

Women's prayer group retreat
Reviewed on 2024-01-12 by Sandy J. , Centreville, AL United StatesOur women prayer group had a wonderful time at Summer Lovin even though it was during a tornado watch and cold weather. The open view to the ocean is beautiful. The balconies are spacious and plenty seating. Even though we didn't get to spend time on the balcony we enjoyed our morning and nightly devotions and playing games. Summer Lovin is located in a great area and if you want to cook it is very well stocked. We could not lock the back door so called them and someone came out very quickly but it turned out we just didn't know how to do it. You have to lift up the handle and turn the lock at the same time. Lol The elevator was a great plus. I recommend Summer Lovin and we will be back.

Reviewed on 2023-06-09 by Lori H. , Denton, TX United StatesThis is our third straight year at this house. It is so comfortable. Great equipped kitchen to cook all week. Nice to have a second refrigerator downstairs for drinks. The carport is perfect for setting up cornhole boards! The chairs on the beach facing patio are the perfect place for morning coffee. And of course being beachfront was perfect! Already booked for next year! Also we did Sandcastle University! She came right to us at the beach in front of the house. It was so much fun.

Intoxicatingly relaxing!
Reviewed on 2022-12-27 by Ginger I. , Murphysboro , IL United StatesThis was our first experience renting a beach house, we were extremely pleased, enough so we’ve already made plans for next year. The views from the decks were amazing. The sun room on the top level and the covered decks were perfect for the days it rained. I was nervous about the rental process, and what to expect, I shouldn’t have been. The rental company is awesome to work with! If a hot tub could be added under the deck on the south side, the house would be perfect. ;-)<br/>

Absolutely Delightful
Reviewed on 2022-08-12 by Alex T. , Ames, IA USThis house was clean and very comfortable and well-equipped as advertised. The property manager was very responsive to the couple things we did need. We had extended family with all ages staying here and it worked so well--the shaded porch was really comfortable on hot days and the boardwalk made it easy to go back and forth to the house. My MIL really appreciated the elevator--it helped her be able to participate more! We highly recommend this property.
Great vacation home!
Reviewed on 2022-07-05 by Theresa T. , Chatham, IL United StatesThis house was great. We had a large group with both adults and children. All the bedrooms had their own private bathroom which was awesome. The kitchen was very well stocked. With our large group we ate in for nearly all meals. Outdoor space was amazing. One of the best deck we have had in a vacation home. Beach access could not have been more perfect. Splash pool was a great bonus if you wanted a break from the beach. Close enough to a activities to be convenient but far enough away that it didn’t feel crowded. We had 3 vehicles and parking was great. This may sound odd, but after many years of staying in beach rentals, one of the things we noticed was how easy the waste removal was! Someone came & took the trash cans to the road and returned them. We didn’t have to mess with them. Overall great experience!!

Reviewed on 2022-04-13 by Melanie A. , Old Hickory, TN United StatesAlso, the rug in the living room had a corner that was turned up which was a falling liability. You should check that out.
The beach availability was a huge problem. There should be some way to make sure people in the condos across the street realize the beach area in front of houses are private. We had to take chairs down at 7am to secure a spot; otherwise, there was no room. <br/><br/>Also, the rug in the living room had a corner that was turned up which was a falling liability.

We had a broken broom. Several shelfs in refrigerator were broken. lights in front room were very dim.
Good but not great
Reviewed on 2021-07-06 by Jennifer D.My husband recently suffered from a medical condition that confined him to a wheelchair. It made the entire vacation a challenge. The elevator and the dune walk over were very helpful. We rented a beach wheel chair and he was able to go to the beach everyday. The carpet on the stairs needs cleaning. Broken windows and screens upstairs need to be replaced. The beach was much too crowded for us I think due to the condos across the road.

Reviewed on 2021-06-01 by , Cape Girardeau, MO United StatesOur third time to stay at Summer Lovin. Favorite location. Favorite house. The house is really “tired”. Windows and screens broken out on third floor Master sun porch. Paint inside and outside would help. Not all TVS in bedrooms worked. Carpets need replaced or at least cleaned. Overall, great amenities,well appointed. But “tired”. Not sure the owners visit, or they would agree. Looking for new place next year, but may be hard pressed to find something on the beach that all 17 of us would like better.

My family brought my Mom to this beach house to celebrate her 90th birthday. The house was great to accommodate 4 couples, as well as, our mother. Each bedroom had its own bath and the elevator was indispensable to get Mom into the house. Our only challenge was the shower for her, we had brought a shower chair but having an adjustable sprayer head and grab bars would have been helpful. <br/>The house was perfectly located for us and the views were stunning.

This was our second stay at Summer Lovin. We chose it because it because each bedroom has its own bathroom, and because of the elevator. The house was clean but it needs some updating. The kitchen in particular needs another refrigerator--one is not sufficient for a house this size, and the one in the storage room is very inconvenient for kitchen use. <br/>We saw several bugs during our stay(silver fish), some in kitchen and in some bathrooms. <br/>The main deck was lacking in furniture--there was only a table with four chairs and one broken chair on the deck.

Little did we know that a hurricane would hit West Beach. Power was out, but was on by the time we got there Thursday afternoon. We loved everything about the house, but would suggest that the owners provide bigger pots and pans as we couldn't go out to eat.

Reviewed on 2019-10-14 by , RIPLEY, Tennessee United StatesThe ONLY downfall to this location vs other homes we've stayed in was the proximity to the public access and the condo across the street. The beach was very crowded directly in front of our home each morning! We made sure to set up our chairs and tents before 7am each morning to secure our spot directly in front of our home. We purposely rent directly on the beach so we can set up in front of the home allowing our younger children (10-12yo) in the group to run back to the house for forgotten items, lunch, etc and we can watch them from the beach. The home was immaculate and the location to the public access is not a reflection of the owners....just added info for future renters if you prefer to have a less crowded beach. In all of our past trips we have never had an issue with people setting up directly in front of the houses or "on top" of us. Normally people are considerate and move in between houses or in front of an open lot (there are 3 adjacent to this house). Overall, we LOVED the home and the property management is always helpful and friendly!
This is our 5th year in a row staying on W Beach Blvd in October during Shrimp Fest. We have rented from GSV 3 times now and their homes are always fully equipped, well maintained, clean, and provide comfortable bedding, furniture, etc. This home was no different. It met our every need for our large group. The elevator was handy for luggage and groceries. The boardwalk was a HUGE plus and will def. be on our "must haves" next year.

The house has beach chairs, floats and surf boards for your use. We brought a canopy to use as we have small children with us. The small wading pool was very nice for small children. The in house elevator helped with us older people who have trouble with stairs. The rooms are very roomy and we each had a bathroom with the bedroom. With 7 adults and 7 small kids we needed the room. I loved being on the beach and able to sit on the porch and watch the waves.

Annual Family and Friends Beach Trip 2018
Reviewed on 2018-05-14 by Jennifer S. , Nashville, TN United StatesEvery year I take my family and friends to the beach as a gift. I was tired of buying gifts for occasions throughout the year and decided instead I wanted to create memories for everyone. The week is always the week before Mother's Day so everyone can make plans to be there. This year we had three generations of family! Everyone can spend time together or individually. It is "good for the soul" and hopefully we are instilling the "importance of family" in the younger generation. This is the second time we've stayed in this house and have already booked it again for next year. It is beautiful, spacious, on the beach and close to the HWY 59 intersection. We love it and would recommend it for your next beach trip.
Great for big families
Reviewed on 2018-04-17 by , Dallas, TX United StatesWe rented this home for 6 days and 5 nights to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and it was fantastic. Home is clean and decorated super fun and beachy. Location was perfect. Even though it's on a public beach we never had issues with overcrowding or noise. This is the perfect house for multiple families. Dining table is large, plenty of seating in living room and there are plenty of chairs on the patio. The kids room is adorable and our kids LOVED staying in there. We would have liked to have had a baby gate to put up since the stairs are right outside the kids room, though. The pool/hot tub is cute but only our kids played in it since it's pretty small and we couldn't find any settings to heat it up for the adults. It's also at the front of the house so it's totally separate from beach and patio. House has empty lot next door so it doesn't feel overcrowded. Elevator quit working day 2 but we were relieved bc we didn't want our kids in there any way lol. Parking is spacious. We fit a suburban, compact car, small suv and 4 door truck all in the driveway and had plenty of room. Overall, it was perfect and we would totally stay there again!

Reviewed on 2018-03-04 by Jeri M. , Morton, IL United StatesA couple of items need to be addressed: the carpeting on the stairs needs to be cleaned and grout in various areas needs attention. The addition 0f an actual vacuum would help to maintain the carpeted areas.
GS Vacation Rentals did a good job when repairs were requested, often within the hour. Looking forward to our return next winter.
We enjoyed the felt like a home, rather than just a rental house. Location was fantastic. Loved the views from the decks and the sunroom when the rains came. The library was an added bonus. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with pots, pans and essentials. <br/>A couple of items need to be addressed: the carpeting on the stairs needs to be cleaned and grout in various areas needs attention.

Great Vacation
Reviewed on 2017-10-30 by Agnes B. , Lebanon, IN United StatesThe location was the best for us--no worries about grandchildren crossing the street to reach the beach. The elevator was great for me since I have trouble walking & easily accommodated my travel wheelchair. The view was great & very much enjoyed from inside as well from the large porch. Being able to eat outside also (weather permitting) was wonderful. Everything was as described & as always well cared for.
Family escape
Reviewed on 2017-07-25 by , Jacksonville, AL United StatesHouse more than met our needs. Bunk room was a big hit with my great grandsons. Beach equipment was very nice to have, Splash pool was nice to relax in at the end of the day. Only issue is that we had to place chairs on beach by 6am to reserve spot in front of house. Even then we found people setting up on top is us.

FAQs
Leave Only Footprints: the clean beach ordinance requires that everything be removed by sunset each evening. Beach patrol will remove any items left on the beach, and you will not be able to retrieve them. If you are in a beachfront home you may leave items at the base of your dune walkover.
We accept reservations up to 51 weeks before arrival. We do maintain a waiting list for summer weeks and holidays and can contact you if, before that time, we hear your requested beach home will be available.
