Super clean, well stocked, and very tastefully decorated. You can tell the owner cares a lot about this unit. The resort is nice - two super large swimming pools. Short walk to the water edge and the owner takes care of the beach rental fees! We will be back! No complaints at all !
We had a great time. It was so easy to check in and out. Caron’s Condo beat the other prices and did not disappoint when we got there. There is a small charge when you check in but it was not bad. Kitchen was a tad smaller than we thought, but it did not hinder us at all. We had a great time and would gladly stay here again.
The unit was clean and Carol was nice and prompt w/responses.
The unit was clean and the kitchen was plenty stocked, even had a muffin pan. We love being on the third floor bc we use the stairs mostly, elevators are slow & packed. Carol was nice and prompt to respond to any questions I had.
We’ve stayed at The Summit many years. This condo was probably the nicest. Very well kept and the kitchen is well stocked for every cooking need.
I guess the only negative is it’s location. On the third floor so the view was not the best. But the advantage on being on the third floor is you can use the stairs rather than having to wait for the elevator which is always a pain. Too many people for the number of elevators. Especially rough on check in/check out days.
I would highly recommend this condo.
The condo looks nicer in pictures that in person. Needs some updates. Issues with the toilet and cracks in fridge. Didn’t like all the maintenance people coming in and out, but was nice owner addressed the issues. Don’t bother with the elevator, we took it once our entire stay. It’s nice they have the tiki bar, food shack and little coffee shop on site. Also, was nice beach chair service was included with this condo.

Had a good time.
I stayed in unit 312. The unit was nice. It was clean. The best part of this unit is that it had laundry in the unit. It was a great time saver. There was plenty of cookware/dishes/etc and we ate in most of the time. I even used the crock pot to make a pork loin. Beach chairs were included as well and we took advantage of that. There were plenty of towels for showers. There was free wifi and cable. This unit was better than the last one I stayed in a few years ago. If I was going to stay in The Summit again, I would rent this particular unit again.
The bar staff at the outside Tiki Bar was great. The pools were clean and one is heated.
The little snack shop downstairs...15 minutes to wait for them to put 3 already cooked hot dogs on buns. They were definitely not in a hurry.
The day we showed up, the elevator was stuck with a bunch of people on it.
The garbage shoot is always full and blocked up.
One day I was woken up at 5:45 by staff that had decided that was a good time to rearrange all the deck furniture...ALL THE DECK FURNITURE...around the pool area. Dragging chairs across the cement. It was loud. It was disrespectful. It was ridiculous.
This is the second time I have stayed at The Summit. The first time, the college kids pulled the fire alarm twice in one week in the middle of the night. Thankfully, that didn't happen this time.
The beaches here are amazing. The sand is fine and perfect and the emerald waters are amazing even though it's still a little cold at the end of March. The March ban on alcohol on the beach wasn't obvious so be warned. The police were patrolling every day.
There are a million places to eat in the PCB area. We had good oysters at Hammer Head Freds and good fish at Scampy's. Captain Jack's is a regular destination for us to eat tons of crab legs.
Having said all of this....I have been coming to PCB for years now. It is one of my favorite places and I really enjoyed my stay there again this year.
If you're not too high maintenance, this is is a good place to stay. :)

Our stay with Caron's Condos couldn't have been better.
Our condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything you would need for a perfect beach vacation. My kids loved their bunk beds! We all loved the incredible view. We had zero problems during our stay, but felt certain Caron would take care of anything. She was great to work with. The Summit is a great place to stay. Everything was clean!
There was a heated pool, which was a hit since it was a little chilly during our stay. We loved the food from the snack bar and Bikini Bobs. My kids had a great time on the playground out on the beach. We were also happy to have an umbrella and beach chairs during our stay.
We look forward to staying with Caron again and will recommend her condo to all our friends.

Wonderful condo, comfy beds & nicely decorated!
Thank you Davis' for making the stay well! My children really loved the bunks and thought the installed USB port was the greatest, kids and their technology! The movie night was fun for them as well. I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit noisy at night and morning... Next time I would bring a small fan or noise eliminator. The linen was soft and it's nice to have a soft mattress out of town. Thanks again for making our stay enjoyable!

Clean, comfortable - perfect for families of any size. Everything needed in kitchen for meal prep.
Love the comfortable atmosphere. Security can be seen observing and helping but not imposing. Well maintained everywhere, but not so fancy we were afraid to relax with children. PCB folks very friendly and helpful. Excellent location near St Andrews on one side and Camp Helen on other. Not right in THE strip but enough to be there in a couple minutes. Excellent beach! Great pools -. 2 large ones! Had a great vacation😂
