We have come to summerhouse for 30+ years. We have our favorites condo units but have been bouncing around as of late to find a great one that’s Ocean Front. I will start by saying that 109 is a perfect location. The view is great of both the beach and of the grass commons area. The room photographs well on the site but it seems to be neglected. You can tell the owners updated the room years ago but it’s as if no upkeep has been done since. Honestly, a little attention would go a long way!Paint is chipping all over the place and nooks and crannies seem to have a thick layer of dirt/dust on it. For example, the outlets in the kitchen had layers of grime built up. The living room lamps shades were not attached to the base (seemed broken and just propped back together) and the couch was not actually assembled correctly when we got there. The washing machine smelled like mildew and the sliding barn-door style cabinet in the upstairs guest bath would just fall off if bumped. I’m not sure if it was missing hardware, if it was broken, or maybe it was just cheap. There was a great amount of soap scum and grim built up in the showers. The shower caddy in the upstairs guest bath really needed to be discarded altogether. The door to the condo has a large gap between the door and jam. It creates a whistling wind noise and allows bugs to come in freely. We found a note on our last day when packing up in the guest bed closet in a drawer that noted we could use the weather stripping in the drawer to prevent the wind noise. I feel as if the owners are aware of the issue, why not spend a little money and have the door plumbed. Some of the rental income could go toward a that.We unfortunately have the room booked and paid for a week in July. We called to try and swap rooms but would forfeit our money being so close to the week of arrival. My kids love Summerhouse so we will continue coming, but 109 would not have been a great first impression if this was our
