I’m not sure it’s possible to covey how wonderful our stay at Summit House really was, but I’ll try. Booking, communication and check-in/check-out were a breeze. The host replied to all inquiries promptly, and when we were on island the property manager Mike was always available (even at odd hours) to help. He was polite, gracious, and lovely to work with. He helped us organize golf cart rentals (ready when we arrived), boat hire, and even a last minute request for professional photographer when we decided we wanted family photos taken! The house keeping staff was friendly and went the extra mile, not batting an eye when my 7yo son had an epic midnight nosebleed - not once, but twice. The main house and cottage are perched on top of Juicy Hill, with views of the harbor and the ocean. The pool house was always stocked with towels and the adjoining bath house was a convenient place to wash off beach sand before jumping into the pool or going back into the house. The main house has lovely wide porches on both ocean and harbor sides with plenty of places to curl up and read or chat and have a cocktail. We were a group of 8 and there was ample seating on both porches for meals. We alternated breakfast and dinner on each porch, using the house’s colorful tablecloths and napkins. When you stay at Summit House every detail of gracious living is at your fingertips. You may be cooking for yourself (or they can arrange to have someone come and cook for you) but no detail is overlooked. The kitchen is well equipped, with a Ninja instant cooker, gas range and oven, sharp knives (a miracle in a rental house), salad spinners etc. As an avid home cook there was never a moment where I missed some important tool. It was all right there. Because this is someone’s home and not just a rental, it is intuitively set up and practical. The kitchen opens up into a high ceilinged open living room with lovely squashy chintz covered sofas where we spent loads of time reading and playing games. The living room is flanked by glass doors which can be opened to take advantage of the cross breeze, and helped by ceiling fans. Every bedroom has a bathroom and the beds were so comfortable. The decor throughout the house is elegant and comfortable, eclectic in that fabulous British way. When you stay at Summit House you feel like guests of wonderfully kind and thoughtful people. 11/10 recommend Summit House, my only hesitation is sharing this hidden gem with the rest of the world!
