    There is nothing wrong at Summer Place, it's wonderful!

    Beautifully maintained, clean, welcoming. Eric and his wife are amazing! We keep coming back, for 10 years or more now, because it's the best!

    The paradise unit is a one bedroom apartment. It is exactly as advertised. Summer place is Stunning! Neat and clean. Views are amazing from the bedside as well as lounge area. Kitchen & bathroom are modern. The ocean views are amazing. The ocean itself is Awesome. Eric is helpful. He is available at all times. Safe & secure holiday destination. Will definitely be going back with more family. Peaceful, tranquility. Hibberdene, just 5mins away is the closest shopping area, just outside the beach. There are more restaurants at the Port Shepstone Oribi mall, around 15mins. away.

    Not much to do in the area except going to the beach but it was so worth it!

    I like how the property was on the beach and the cleanliness of the apartment. The apartment was cleaned every day.

    Curtains especially in the TV couch area were oil stained and dirty. The open shower with no curtain or glass around it is a wet floor hazard in the bathroom. Romantic, sure. But a swimming pool when you're done!

    The location was amazing! The service from the caretakers too.... And it was very comfortable-generally very well-kitted out.

    Just note, there is no power or inverters for load shedding but this wasn't a problem as emergency lights are provided.

    The location of this property was perfect, right at the beach and point for surfers. Facilities were clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the lovely view of the seas from the couch.

    Excellent fishing spot. Remember it is a bathing spot so you got to walk a bit before you can get a spot to fish. Weather was not on my side. I nevertheless enjoyed myself.

    Pity about the noise of the generator during the intermittent power outages at night. There was an emergency light provided in the unit, but would have been nice to have a couple of candles as an option as well. and maybe a small gas cooker to at least boil water ?

    Most amazing view and direct access to the beach. Even though the surrounding area was struggling without municipal water, we had no problems as there was ample water on site with the Jojo tanks. 👏🏻 Being able to watch the most amazing sunrises from our doorstep, was a genuine treat. The clean beaches, lifeguards on duty, being able to watch the local surfers 🏄‍♂️ Fishing 🎣 Safe enough to walk along the beach for miles . our unit was aptly named Paradise!

    The appliances need some TLC, and I don't think it's from lack of Maintenace its the sea air, stove only has two working plates and microwave overheats and then cuts off. The Place is advertised as having a private garden / deck and beach access however all guests seem to use the path through the lookout to access the beach, which is a bit frustrating. If you don't like dogs, don't book, every chalet other than ours had dogs. Plan ahead for food, the closest shops are in Hibberdene and quality is questionable.

    The Place is well kept, and Eric was very accommodating, we had a wheelchair user with us and within minutes Eric had made a ramp with a piece of wood and bricks and it was sorted. the unit was clean, had everything we needed. Beautiful views and even with loadshedding, rechargeable lights are provided. Was a wonderful stay. Aircon in Main room wasn't working, aircon tech was there within hours and problem was sorted. Easy Access to beach, with Tidal pool. Beach was quiet and had lifeguards. Close and central to Wildcoast and other south Coast attractions, felt safe and secure.

    They could of had generators for use when they had load shedding, for up to 5 hours at a time. It was really frustrating to sit and wait for power to be restored.

    it was spacious and clean.

    5 stars for hospitality and location… Rare to find hosts that are so genuinely sincere in wanting to accommodate your every need and to make your stay as grand as possible. Location is as spectacular as they come, especially if you are looking to spend most of your time on the the beach due to proximity, great waters and the little details that your unit has when you get back. Kitchens and bathrooms also a plus! Onsite staff as well super helpful and polite. My kids didn’t want to leave. Will be back plenty more times.

    The gate to the beach rusty anyone can get in . I brought it to Ericks attention. The side of the Look out unit wall low from that way criminals can get in.

    Always book the Paradise unit as it's perfect for us.Wow the location is perfect. Erick is a humble friendly person . If I get the unit at that same price will book again.
