On Location

The rented house is in Redington Beach, on Gulf Boulevard (naturally) in the vicinity of 160th Avenue.

The drawbridge scenes were filmed at John's Pass (between Madeira Beach and Treasure Island), and the posh restaurant is in Madeira Beach on Gulf Boulevard at approximately 13th Avenue. [Thanks to Brian Egan]

The Beach Theater at 315 Corey Avenue is the movie theater that the family goes to and they forget to bring money. [Thanks to Lyman Sadlick]

In the first part of the movie when John Candy is driving to work it is clear that he is driving into Atlanta on the downtown connector at I-20 & I-75 in downtown Atlanta. [Thanks to Christopher]

Other locations include, Scully's Restaurant, Billy's Stone Crab in Tierra Verdem, Florida. [Thanks to The Barnacle]

Can you help? Do you know any of the St. Petersburg, Florida (or any other) filming locations used for Summer Rental, particularly Scully's restaurant? [Please send them in]
