Great spot, quiet, easy beach access. Had two great pools. There was a smell when we first got there but feel that’s from not running AC and cleared out after the first day. We had a great overall experience.

The property was nice....a little dated. Could use a better cleaning...food on walls and bedding...The beach was dirty....a lot of trash left on it. Pools also needed better cleaning. Could use new chairs and umbrellas. Closet doors were barely hanging on in kids room. The pictures were a bit misleading....it was smaller than it appeared. Overall a nice place....just needs some better tlc.

Thank you for your feedback about Summerhouse 502A. We’re sorry the unit and amenities didn’t meet your expectations — the cleanliness issues, bedding, pool care, beach trash, worn chairs/umbrellas, and the closet doors should have been better. We’ve shared your comments with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to address cleaning standards, make the necessary repairs, and evaluate replacements. We’ll also review the listing photos and description to ensure the size is represented accurately. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back.

For the price this was just NOT it! I was disappointed in the price for what I got. Our guest bathroom sink was clogged from the first day. I messaged the property as their phone number never leads you to be able to leave a voicemail or a callback number. So, I texted with no response on the sink. The patio was not cleaned off before we got there. There was a dried blue substance on the patio and other debris. The elevator stopped working the last night and apparently this is a common occurrence. Lastly, there was a lovely roach, not a palmetto bug, but a baby roach in the kitchen sink to really send off our last night. The room is very outdated and I just couldn’t believe the price for the room.

Sherry, we are pleased to know that you enjoyed staying at Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort in Panama City Beach. Please accept our apology for any frustration caused by the resort's parking policies. Similar to the previous rental's policy that is mentioned on Vrbo and RealJoy websites, "guests must register for parking passes at least 24-hrs before arrival date. The registration fee is $50, and this cost includes one vehicle parking pass. A second parking pass is available for an additional $30, and a third parking pass is available for another additional $50." Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Overall good experience

Although our room wasn’t clean when we arrived the management team promptly brought over clean linens. They also brought over a gift card and a bottle of bubbly for the troubles. The guest shower is very nice. The pull out sofa wasn’t at all a terrible nights sleep as imagined for a 165 pound 40 year old.

We were very pleased with room. Comfortable beds and living furniture. Our only issues were the towel rack in the front bathroom, came apart. My husband was able to put it back together, and the next day, we found the little screw and was able to use my knife to fix it. The Roku batteries in the control were dead. However, I had a flash light that used the same batteries and was able to watch TV. When we left, we replaced the dead batteries in the control. Our main concern were the floors. Both bathroom floors were sticky, to the point of sticking to our bare feet or shoes. The tile floors thru out the condo had debris and we swept several times. They had not been vacummed, or moped. If the condos are not inspected before being rented it, they need to be. We have stayed at the Summer House many times and this is the first time this has ever happened. Being the first time renting from Vrbo, we actually didn"t know who to contact about this. All and all we enjoyed staying there, but this needs to be addressed for future renters. Thank you,

The Good and The not so good

The good was that all staff and guests at Summerhouse were very friendly and helpful! The location was good for us, the view was amazing and the outside grounds were well kept. The not so good…this building is old. Hot tub not always working, elevators frequently down, sliding doors in the lobby not working. For the condo, the photos online must’ve been taken long ago as the white cabinets were now yellow. The HVAC was down the first 4 days and it smelled like stale dust and mildew that never went away, even with air blowing and fans running. The ductwork needs to be cleaned thoroughly. We requested to be moved shortly after we arrived. Real Joy told us “unless the place is inhabitable…” they would not move us, we had booked for 2 months. They attempted to resolve with several visits to figure out the smell, fix hvac, clean the area rug (ick) but no other remedy, move or refund. Remember the saying, you get what you pay for. Before you book, look for pics of the elevators, hallways, your condo front door. Also, there is No access to the balcony from the master as described and the sliding balcony door and drapery need to be replaced.

Decent place but we had issues

The condo itself is nice and in a good location, however, the AC unit was not turning on. We contacted Real Joy about the issues around 1pm that day and did not hear back til 7pm that night when we were ready to go out to eat. Unfortunately we had to cancel our dinner out and order pizza while maintenance finished with the repair. He mentioned that the AC unit was on its last leg and would take a long time to cool...and it did. Other than that some of the pots in the kitchen were burnt on the bottom and I didn't want to use them to cook with. It kinda grossed us out.
