Hi all -

We are staying at the Houses at Summer Bay soon and I was looking very forward to it, until I started reading reviews on Yelp - lots of mentions of cockroaches and bedbugs...and snakes! Could they be talking about a different resort? The RCI reviews are good so I need to ask my TUGgers what the real scoop is now. Please let me know if you've been recently and if you have any tips for getting a place that is clean and bug free, please let me know!

Signed,

Worried in CT

We stayed at the Houses at Summer Bay a few years ago with my sister and Mum. We had a 3 bedroom house with a screened in swimming pool. Very spacious and private. We did not have snakes, bugs or any critters. I preferred it to the other units at Summer Bay we have been at. One unit had lots of ants. The house was very nice, I'm sure you will like the accommodations.

It's very pleasant to stay at Summer Bay Houses. You will enjoy it. Bugs are a part of Florida, but we didn't see any in the house we stayed. I think you will be fine. A call to the resort's manager is always a good idea. Some people complain online but not to the person that can do something about their issues.

We have stayed in the houses 4 times over the years. We never had any issues with anything during our visits. With over 100 exchanges, The Houses of Summer Bay remain at the top of our list. Enjoy your vacation in your beautiful unit, and relax in your own private pool.

Thank you again. Just got a call from their concierge which seemed like a nice touch. Do you recommend tipping the concierge?

God no, don't tip the concierge. He/she is trying to create a relationship with you to get you on a sales tour.

We've stayed there twice and it is our favorite timeshare. Was a few years ago.
