We come to Florida every year, and always contact Napoli Belmar for accomodation. This year we booked late, and nothing was available at neither NapoliBelmar nor Birch Patio, but wonderfully sweet Angela (who has all 3 properties) showed us this 1 bedroom apartment at the Summerland Suites.
We have 1 bedroom with 2 double (are they double or king? don't know, but we get by), bathroom with bathtub/shower, full kitchen with big fridge and living room with dining table and 2 sofas and TV. One sofa is a sleeper sofa, but we haven't used it.
This year we love being on the more quiet side of the Birch Road, when the kids can roll on their scateboards, and we love the way that this is just more quiet here. Napoli Belmar is in our opinion for families with kids, and perhaps kids younger than 12.
We can choose freely between 4 pools, 3 of which are heated and the 4th will be rebuilt to heated Summer 2008, we've been told. There is a separate laundry house, with 2 washers and 2 dryers. BBQ area around the property. Great with a lot of grass and green, and little paths around the whole place.
We really enjoy it here. Angela and Tony go out of their way to make their guests happy. I would warmly recommend this place. The first couple of days, some of our friends were also here, but they were 2 single men looking for party and having a good time, and this was just a little too quiet for them. We are travelling as family with kids age 8 and 11 and this is perfect for us.

I researched where to stay on this website which I have done in the past with good results. While clean and well located, this is a very out-of-date, worn looking property. The place needs a major overhaul, it is a throwback to where my grandparents used to stay. We stayed for three nights and although our initial reaction was negative it did grow on us.

The owners are lovely and their customer service is friendly and accomodating.

I recently stayed here for 4 nights while attending a conference. I had actually made a reservation to stay at one of their sister properties, Napoli Belmar, but upon arriving, I was told she wanted to give me a bigger, better room. It was only $5 more a night than I expected to pay so I was fine with it. The room was very clean but I would have liked to have a bathtub. Very close, about 2 blocks, from the beach. My gripe would be that the bed was on casters on tile so it would tend to roll & move as I shifted. Also, the A/C was just a wall unit in the bedroom so it took a little while to get the other room cool on a warm day. The staff was very friendly when I needed something. It is a bit off the beaten path in what looks like a residential neighborhood. The grounds were nice and the pools looked clean. I give it an "above average" rating for the price per night ($75). Be prepared for about a 15 minute walk to get to restaurants & shops.
