Great house in a wonderful location. Our extended family had a blast. Plenty of room for our group of 8. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad your extended family had a blast and that the home had plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy their time together. It's great to hear you loved the location as well. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another family getaway in the future!
Fantastic south beach location, very few neighbors so it was almost like a private beach. Easy "commute" to both clubs, ferry, and shops.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the South Beach location and the quieter stretch of beach, it really does make for a relaxing getaway. It's also great to hear the home's convenient location made it easy to get to the clubs, ferry, and island shops. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us, and thanks for trippin' with iTrip!
This is a great beach front house. Big rooms and beds. Having a bathroom for each bedroom is helpful. The host was quick to communicate with. Their texting system is easy and keeps you updated. There were a few broken items (I’ll blame it on the end of season). The house could have been cleaner on arrival. But I’ll say, it’s going to be hard to find an oceanfront house like this one at the price. We’d love to come back. It’s a great time.

Great Vacation
Summer Wind was perfect for us. Clean and well stocked. We loved being in the beach and being able to see and hear the ocean. It’s a great location and a great layout for us to enjoy. WiFi worked great as one guest had to work all week. We would stay here again. ITrip communications were perfect.

Overall it was a great location. Great beach access and a very friendly atmosphere. The house is roomy and has a great layout. The beds are not comfortable though, so hopefully that is on the short list of things to update. I’d recommend this property to anyone interested in a good relaxing beach vacation.
