Total Class. Outstanding venue.

The team at Summer House are amazing and so is the venue! The venue is outstanding and the team at Summer House were so incredibly helpful. They were with me from the beginning to the very end when the lights went off. They eased all of my nervousness. They just went above and beyond. My son’s engagement party was COLLOSAL and the team at Summer House took such great care that I was able to relax and throughly enjoy the party. The venue has so much room and really has a New York venue kind of vibe. Our guests were amazed but most importantly, my son and his fiancee were thrilled!!!! Thanks so much, Summer House, for giving us an event and experience that was television worthy!!!!

Amazing Venue Made an Amazing Night!!!

The venue was beautiful and the perfect size for my wedding reception. We set up the food and tables downstairs and then continued the party on the rooftop! The sound system was so good I didn't even need to hire a DJ! Amazing atmosphere, great area - so close to downtown Fernandina. The venue coordinator (Ashley) was so easy to work with and extremely accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Professional, Clean, Friendly

We rented the roof top for our Rehearsal Dinner for a Saturday night and had the best experience. All of the staff we dealt with at Summer House Realty were professional, friendly, and responsive. Ashley Hogan was our main point of contact and she went out of her way to make sure everything was scheduled and set up as we asked for. We will absolutely be using this venue in the future and 100% recommend for a gathering.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
