Jack Chester, an overworked air traffic controller, takes his family on vacation to the beach. Things immediately start to go wrong for the Chesters, and steadily get worse. Jack ends up in a feud with a local yachtsman, and has to race him to regain his pride and family's respect.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie 'Summer Rental' is explicitly set during the summer vacation period at the beach. There is no indication that Christmas is relevant to the setting, plot, themes, or resolution."
