 Fantastic Experience

Review by Kelly C. on 7/24/23, 6:26 PM

We are so happy with our experience at Summertime Rentals. Staff was knowledgable, helpful, friendly, and everyone had a great attitude. They explained everything well and made the environment so comfortable for a bunch of beginners. The boat was exceptional. It was clean and well maintained, and staff gave a thorough tour to ensure we knew how to properly use everything. They even made suggestions of places to stop to sight-see, eat, and swim, which was extremely helpful since we aren't from the area. Pricing was fair, straightforward, and no hidden costs. At the end of our vacation, boating with Summertime Rentals was everyone's favorite activity!!

 Highly recommend

Our experience with the rental company was wonderful starting with booking our rental boat until we turned it back in three days later. Very organized, nice, helpful, efficient, good quality products, and hassle free. Overall a wonderful company with nice knowledgeable employees and great products!

Excellent, staff, boats and service.

 Great experience from beginning to end

Review by Pavan on 7/16/23, 11:21 AM

What an amazing staff this company has. Here is my experience: 1. We were first timers so they answered all our questions over the phone thoroughly. Booking the boat online was hassle-free. 2. Parking was from across the street and one of their staff members offered to carry our stuff to the boat and loaded it for us. 3. We reached almost an hour before the scheduled rental time but since the boat was ready, they offered us to get started early without any additional cost. 4. Boats were like brand new (mostly 2021 model year), clean and lots of room. 5. One of the staff members educated us on how to ride it against the waves caused by other boats. 6. Upon return, almost 4-5 staff members were at the dock as soon as they saw us pulling over and helped us dock. 7. Checkout process was pretty smooth., no gimmicks, no additional charges/surcharges besides the fuel you used during the rental window. Overall, this is a very well coordinated rental business with friendly staff. They make sure customers have a great experience. Keep up the great work Summertime Rentals, we are definitely returning soon.

 Great Times!

Great experience from the time I talked to Kim at the office. The crews that delivered & took down the water trampoline were wonderful too! Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you!

 Fun Time

Review by Todd on 7/12/23, 9:04 PM

We had stopped there for fuel for the boat a few times and the service was always good but we rented a couple wave runners a couple weekends ago. The staff was friendly, helpful, and super nice. The wave runners were late model and very well maintained. The entire process to rent and learn how to use the wave runner was very easy. I hadn’t ridden a jet ski in 20+ years but they made it super easy - we had a ton of fun. Highly recommend.

 Another Great Experience

Review by Michael Family on 6/29/23, 7:38 AM

Another beautiful day on the lake during our family's annual trip to northern MI. The boats are always clean and well maintained and the staff is extra friendly and helpful. Renting from Summertime has become a favorite vacation activity for our family!

 Great People, Incredible Service

Review by MC on 6/28/23, 7:54 AM

My family and I were spending our first week ever in Charlevoix and rented a pontoon boat to cruise and swim around the lake. Summertime Rentals went above and beyond expectations with amazing customer service, fair pricing, and super friendly staff. Everyone was attentive, thorough and genuinely pleasant. We will be renting again and for years to come, and I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a boat/watercraft rental.

 World Class

Review by Ron on 6/26/23, 5:44 AM

We rented a pontoon for a week in the early part of June. From the initial first contact to reserve the pontoon until I dropped it off at the end of the week, Summertime Rentals was professional, courteous, and very helpful. The owners were responsive, promptly called me back and answered all my questions. They were accommodating to the pick up time that worked with our schedule and returning the pontoon was especailly quick and trouble free. They have quite a variety of rentals and when we arrived we could see that they were all top notch. I was very pleased with the quality of the pontoon we rented, It was like picking up a brand new pontoon. The crew went over the lake and answered every question about the lake that I had and even gave us some fishing tips and area restaurants to try. It was a great experience and they were very reasonably priced. Thanks Summertime Rentals for contributing to a great week.

 Great experience

Review by Cindy  on 9/10/22, 11:39 AM

From answering my questions to helping me choose correct pontoon size for my family trip- Summertime Rental was top notch. Very attentive, explained everything perfectly and the pontoon we rented was in almost new condition. Will definitely rent from them again should we be back up there for vacation. Made a lot of great memories that day!! Thanks again.

 Wonderful company, awesome lake

Review by Laurie on 8/30/22, 8:16 AM

I headed up to the traverse city area with 5 of my adult family members, from south Florida. I lamented about which lake and rental company to rent a pontoon boat at. Once I spoke with Summertime, I knew renting with them on lake Charlevoix was the right choice. We arrived at our scheduled reservation time. Summertime was immediately attentive. The office, dock and all areas were well kept. The boat was spotless and comfortable. The employees were thorough and knowledgeable.They explained everything in detail and sent us off with confidence. We had the best time on lake Charlevoix. I would highly recommend summertime rentals for a great day on the lake.

 Tritoon

Review by Patrick on 8/20/22, 12:08 PM

We rented a 25' with 150hp. Tritoon for a week. Very easy pleasant process to rent. Employees are very knowledgeable and extremely nice to work with. Boat was in great condition when we picked it up, it was definitely the right boat for tubing and skiing. The rental came with a two-person tube, skis and all the life jackets we needed. All in all, it was an excellent experience with Summertime rental! Would recommend in a heartbeat.

 Trampoline

Review by Jill on 8/17/22, 12:53 PM

We rented a house right down the road from Summertime Rentals. I contacted them regarding a trampoline rental. From the time I called them to reserve one to the time they picked it up was extremely easy. Every person we spoke to was kind and gave us all the information needed from the time of reserving it to the time of pickup. The two people that set it up actually set it up in the rain. Very efficient. The entire family enjoyed having it in the water. Lots of laughs and fun. Thank you to all the summertime rental employees:).

Review by Emmie on 8/17/22, 7:52 AM

I was most impressed by the effort made to accommodate us when the day we reserved was rainy and cold. We got to be on the lake in one of their pontoons on the next day, which was perfect weather and a lot of fun . These are good folks that run a people/customer driven business.

 Fantastic

It was a delight to meet Skylar at Summertime! We all agreed it is so rare to have a young adult able to communicate with adults and kids the way she does! Our boat was great and so was the vacation! Thank you

 Great, great, great

Review by Ted on 8/6/22, 7:31 AM

Didn't know you could sink a pontoon boat via submarining but we almost did !!! Was like riding a roller coaster. Was rough high waves on main lake but South Arm was calm. Had a ball. Would rent again in a heartbeat from Summertime. They are great.

 Look no further, this group is THE BEST!

Review by Walloon Family on 8/6/22, 7:30 AM

We've been renting from Aaron and Summertime for the last 6 years. They take the time to explain everything and leave you with amazing equipment. If Summertime is an option it's a no-brainer for my family.

 5 Stars!

Review by Tiff on 8/4/22, 8:27 AM

We greatly appreciated the wonderful customer service and promptness of the delivery of our rentals. We rented 2 SUPs and 1 kayak and everyone in our group got a lot of use out of them and had a blast. I highly recommend renting from Summertime Rentals!

 Well oiled machine

Review by Mitch on 8/1/22, 9:11 AM

Wonderful staff! ONLY downside were all the forms at time of check in. I recommend the forms be emailed out with the confirmation email. At least then they can actually be read rather than taking precious time with our whole group anxious to get on the water. Next time I will request the forms in advance. Our 21' Tritoon was in perfect shape. All previous dings by others properly noted prior to our launch. BRAVO!

 Perfect day on the lake!

Review by St. Louis  on 7/31/22, 6:42 AM

Great experience with Summertime Rental! Reservations were easy to make online, the owners got back to us quickly. Easy check in, they were there with a cat to help us carry items from parking lot to boat, Riley was very thorough with instructions. Boat was plenty big enough, and brand new. Spent bout $50 for gas for our 8 hour tour, didnt think that was too bad. When we returned they parked the boat and got us on our way very quickly.

Review by Pontoon on 7/27/22, 5:31 AM

We had a wonderful experience. We were greeted in the parking lot with help to carry our personal belongings to the boat. The pontoon was immaculate & they gave a thorough explanation of features. The staff is so friendly & helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

 Great pontoon!

Review by Jim on 7/25/22, 6:37 PM

The pontoon boat was new, beautiful! The staff was very helpful. The whole operation was pretty sweet from online reservations till the end of the trip. The great weather was a big plus! I would recommend Summertime rental!

 Great experience at Charlevoix

Review by Metehan on 7/21/22, 9:14 PM

I was happy with the experience I had with Summertime Rentals. They were conveniently located. The workers were very nice and helpful. They explained everything thoroughly. The pontoon was new and clean. I will do this again in the future.

 Awesome experience

They were fantastic from the moment we arrived. The boat was very clean and the employees were all great to work with. Extremely satisfied with the trip, highly recommend for anyone looking to rent in this area.

 Amazing service

Review by Marian on 7/12/22, 8:41 AM

Our experience with Summertime rentals was awesome. They are so nice, helpful, and courteous. And the pricing to rent the boat and kayak was better then other places. The location is great and Lake Charlevoix was so beautiful. I would go there to the area and, most importantly, rent with these amazing staff and owner.

 Great time!!!

Review by Curt on 7/6/22, 6:08 AM

The staff was amazing and so helpful. We had a great experience from start to finish. They even called us when they found my father in law's glasses.

 Best boat Rental on Lake Charlevoix

Review by Christina K. on 7/2/22, 7:20 AM

Summertime Boat Rentals was wonderful! They are professional, thorough and very accommodating. The boat that we rented was well equipped and in beautiful condition. The workers there are also very helpful and friendly. I would highkt recommend them to anyone visiting the Lake Charlevoix area.

 Fun Day

Review by JohnF on 9/10/21, 12:24 PM

We rented a pontoon boat from Summertime and it was a wonderful experience. The boats are like new and the team is phenomenal. We would absolutely rent from Summertime again. Thanks for making our day.

 Great time on Lake Charlevoix

Review by Sandy on 9/8/21, 6:14 AM

Summertime Rentals provided our visitors from California with a great experience. All staff were professional and helpful. Instructions and paperwork were handled with expertise and efficiency. The pontoon was in excellent condition. Thank you so much for a perfect morning on the lake. We will definitely be repeat customers.

 Great Family Outing on Lake Charlevoix

Review by Ron on 9/7/21, 10:32 AM

As can sometimes happen, the day we were to rent our pontoon the weather was very iffy and they were calling for it to only get worse. I requested that Summertime allow us to switch our rental to the next morning, and after some review of the situation, they did allow us to make the switch. That made a world of difference, as the next morning was sunny and very pleasant. Thank you Summertime. This 4-hrs out of the lake was especially enjoyable since our family had come to northern Michigan from as far away as California and North Carolina. My brother-in-law, who has rented boats on a number of occasions noted that the orientation that the Summertime staff provided was the best he had ever experienced. The pontoon we rented was beautiful, in great shape, which all made for a great family experience. I would not hesitate to rent from Summertime again. They gave us a wonderful experience--and at the lowest price on the lake.

 Great Company!!!!

Review by Greg on 9/2/21, 1:11 PM

We had a great experience renting a boat from Summertime Rentals! We reserved a Pontoon boat for 4 hours but the previous group got back late with the boat. The Crew at ST Rentals could not have been more helpful. They upgraded us to a Tritoon, which was much better for our family, and gave us free gas for our time on the water! We were also allowed to keep the boat out a little longer to compensate for the late start due to the previous renters being late. The whole group was helpful and attentive to all of our needs and provided excellent customer service! And, our day out on the water was a blast... everybody loved it! We'll definitely be back again!!!
