I really wish I could give a 0 star!!! Multiple problems this year. They decided to close the pool for 2 weeks for deck resurfacing which blocked beach access. Their solution was to provide a 4 for step ladder to climb down a wall and walk across sand dunes illegally to access beach. Hot tub was down, elevator down, multiple marijuana issues. Maintenance is horrible. Seems like every decision so against the long-term renters Won't be back!!!! You've lost a person that has been staying long-term every year for 6 years! read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE!! if I could give it no stars I would. Terrible experience, rooms were old and dated as was the building. Hot tube did not work half the time we were here. Staff was friendly, when the where around. We could not get in the hot tube thought the day because of all the kids that where on it. we where told that no one under the age of 15 was aloud in the hot tube at all, but they where.when we finally got an opportunity to get on the tube we where told to get out because they where really strict on the rules and the pool closed at 11. you live you learn read more

My $1,330 condo rental for Unit 906B was WASTE OF MONEY for the 3 days we stayed. Upon arrival, the unit was HOT, but "appeared" to be clean. Mgmt immediately sends you a text asking if the unit is clean. I sent 5-star, but it did not take long to learn the truth about the cleanliness of this unit. We rented from Saturday, May 17, 2025 with a 5pm check-in through Wednesday, May 21, 2025 with a 10am check-out time. Following is a list of MAJOR issues: (1) Walking into our unit upon arrival was like walking into an oven!! We immediately called Mgmt to send up maintenance because the AC was not cooling, even after we attempted to turn down the temp. The most we could turn it down was to 69. We later found out, per the FIRST maintenance man sent up the first night (who was there from 11pm until 12:30am) that the owner of the unit had the AC control LOCKED AND WAS CONTROLLING IT REMOTELY!! This was our first and main MAJOR issue. He said he would have Mgmt contact the owner to unlock the AC control. The owner NEVER unlocked the AC control after several requests by Mgmt to do so (per property manager herself.) I informed Mgmt that first night that I had a severe heat intolerance due to a medical condition and that another friend staying with us was on oxygen and taking daily breathing treatments due to a lung condition (a woman who has never smoked in her entire life), and that we could not endure the HOT AND HUMID temps in that unit. Although the AC control was reading 69 (which is mounted beside the coolest vent in the unit, which was blowing right on the AC controller on the wall), the maintenance man's infrared thermometer read 75.5 in the front/king bedroom. His infrared thermometer was reading 73 in the den area. He did not check the other bedroom. The unit was SWELTERING our entire stay!! (2) While the first maintenance man was there for the AC our first night, we also informed him that we had just purchased over $200 in groceries and were concerned because the glass shelves in the refrigerator felt warm to the touch. He checked the temp with his infrared thermometer and the inside fridge temp read "58". Meat spoils at 40 degrees. The SECOND SET OF MAINTENANCE MEN OUR SECOND DAY came up and the fridge temp read "50" on his infrared thermometer. They seemed to ALWAYS try to make their problems our fault, saying "You have to give the fridge and freezer 24hrs to cool down" or "You put a case (24pk) of bottled water and groceries in there, which is going to bring down the fridge temp". Such lame excuses for their faulty appliance! The fridge temp did not feel cool until the afternoon before we left the next morning. We had to throw out 2lbs of ground beef, $10/worth of Boar's Head lunchmeat, 2lbs of sausage, and 1lb of bacon. Ice cream melted in the freezer the first night there, which also had to be thrown out. From that day on, we ate out as we were afraid to eat spoiled meat from that fridge. We were also told to take pictures of the food in our fridge, stating "It's a common problem for us to have to replace food." So I took and texted pics of the contents of our refrigerator. In a previous review, I forgot to mention that we also lost our mayo (which we brought with us), spinach, a entire rotisserie chicken, hot dogs, cottage cheese, half and half, and a carton of chicken salad. (3) The TV in the front/king bedroom NEVER WORKED our entire stay. The Roku remote was corroded and oozing white crud from the batteries, but also, there was no Roku stick attached to the tv! The first maintenance man who came late our first night said he would bring a new Roku stick and remote, and he took the corroded remote with him. He never returned with either. The 2nd set of maintenance men who came up 2 days later also said they would bring a new Roku stick and remote. Neither ever did either. The 2nd bedroom's television was not working. Maintenance got the remote to work by replacing the batteries, but could not get the TV to play anything. They neve offered a solution so, again, we paid for more services offered on this website for this Unit but never received. We had to watch TV in the den or on our cell phones. (4) The pots and pans in the kitchen were covered in mold. We actually took them all out and scrubbed them ourselves to assure they came clean. (5) The dishwasher would literally knock you down from the horrid odor when it was opened! The first maintenance man who came to our unit for the AC problem can confirm this as well as he was there and opened it himself. I ran it twice the next day to try and rid it of that disgusting odor (smelled like dead, rotted fish...no exaggeration!!) (6) I continued to ask Mgmt via text if they had been able to contact the owner to unlock the AC control. Their response was hateful and that the property manager came up herself. I texted back and told them they did not have to treat me like that [being so hateful], that we were not the cause of the problems with Unit 906B! When th read more

Beautiful lobby and two bedroom condos directly on the beach. 1005 is beautiful! We had live music every Sunday and Wednesday while we were there. The lobby is large and welcoming. read more

The positives about Summerhouse condo include: it's location; it is close to the far end of Thomas drive, so it is farther away from the "craziness" of Panama City. The condo is relatively small, so the beach is not near as crowded as many of the other massive condos in PC. The grounds are very well kept and are beautiful! The condo has 2 pools, one heated and one not heated, a hot tub and a kiddie pool. The biggest negative is the age of the condo. Many of the units have not been updated and the decor is stuck in the 90s. BUT, if you do some research, you are able to find some condos that have been recently re-done and are beautiful. My advice: don't settle on an ugly condo! Look around and you will find some units that are pretty! read more

The Summerhouse is a great place for families. Everything is very convenient to attractions, shopping and restaurants. The two bedroom units provide adequate room for larger families and it is very secure with surveillance video of all areas. The improvements made after the hurrican has greatly increased the value of your vacation. The Summerhouse provides a game room and two swimming pools, kiddy pool and a hot tub. read more

Summerhouse is a great place to stay for couples as well as families. We like it because it is not so big like some of the newer condominiums. There are three buildings with an elevators in each building; 11 floors. We've never had to wait long at all for an elevator. I think building B is the best because you not only have a great beach and pool area view, but you also get the sunset view. Building C blocks the view if you're in building A and building C faces away from the sunset unless you are on the end wrap units. Make sure you ask for a condo that comes with the lounge chairs/umbrella ssetup on the beach. Some condos come with the setup and some do not and it's the same condo rental prise - it all depends on whether the owners rent the ssetup for the season or not. There are two pools, one that is heated, a hot tub, kiddie pool, tennis, racquetball, game room with pool tables, outside gazebo and just a lot amenities. The office is open 24 hours (rare) so no problem if you lock yourself out! The condos themselves are really nice, some more updated than others but all have a balcony with an ocean view. Summerhouse is on the East side of Panama City Beach so it's close to the crazy action but not so close that it's too scarey! There is security 24 hours and it's safe to walk around the complex at night - not a problem at all! The winter monthly snowbird rates are very reasonable! Hope this helps you if you're looking for a condo right on the beach that is fun, at a very reasonable rate, and a good place to make memories! We love it plan to go back many times! read more

I paid a deposit to Gary Estvanko for unit 103A March 6, 2018. Because of Hurricane Michael our reservation for Dec 1, 2018, thru March 15, 2019, was canceled. He made a partial refund on Feb 4, 2019, of $2500.00. Gary Estvanko owner of Unit 103A, Summerhouse Condos, 6505 Thomas Dr. Panama City Beach FL. still owes me $299.05. It is coming up on a year that he has had my money. He has lied about giving the refund on Wednesday 02/20/2019. I still have not seen my money. He is now ignoring my calls and text, I'm at a loss. Please be aware of Gary Estvanko's business practices. read more

This was our first time staying here and only our second time to PCB. I was extremely disappointed. Upon arrival, we checked in and were greeted with a not so nice staff. They never welcomed us or anything... they just went through the motions and I found them very impersonal. We were tired from our trip and went straight to the condo, 1113C, to unload our stuff and head to dinner. When we were leaving for dinner, we couldn't get out of our room.. the door was not functioning and would not open. We immediately called the office and maintenance was sent. He assured us that we didn't need to wait, he would fix the door while we were out. We ate, got groceries and headed back.. this time we couldn't get in the door .. the office was closed .. we had a weeks worth of groceries...it was awful.. security had to call maintenance back in and it was midnight before our door was opened...there were other issues too... dirty silverware, no ice in the freezer, torn comforter, mold in the shower, dirty stinky carpet, a dryer that wouldn't dry... I called the office the next day to complain to a manager, but was passed off to another manager "Beth" who never returned my call. Needless to say, the entire experience wasn't bad, I mean, it's the beach... the views were great.. the pools were great... We probably won't be back though..at least not here...not this condo. read more

This place is horrible. We got to our room and it was filthy. There was sand all over the floor and the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. The shower had an old bar of soap in it and was moldy. Called the front desk to complain and never heard back from the manager. Wake up the next day to find out that a water main had busted and we had no water for about 10 hours. There was no way for anyone to wash sand off of their feet, take showers, flush the toilet etc, disgusting. Do not come here unless you want below below average accommodations for way to expensive condo rentals. read more

I love the summerhouse condos have stayed there for the last 11 years sometime twice a year this year we stayed in tower b in May and 611c in July well 611c was pretty but not clean I don't think the beds were changed and there was egg shell on the floor. The washer and dryer was the smallest I've seen in years so we worked our self to death to keep up with towels and clothes!! (4 towels at a time!!) but other than that the grounds are beautiful people are great so this review is about this condo not the entire place we have always stayed here and will continue!! read more
