We have owned property in The Lakes at Waterstone community since 2011 and it is a wonderful…read morecommunity. From the grand, secure gated entrance to the Spanish style tile roof homes, meticulously maintained landscaping to the resort style pool, fitness/amenity center, tennis and pickle ball courts to the walking/bike path that winds it's way through the community, two private parks, then onto our own Vision Island with a beautiful gazebo overlooking two of the namesake lakes that intertwine throughout the community. The Lakes giveway to many beautiful sunrise and sunsets that are just breathtaking. The Lakes also attract many species of local and migrating birds and wildlife that are just fun to sit and watch. But the best part of this community are the people who live here. They are always giving a friendly wave and are eager to pitch in to better the community from spreading mulch to picking up after a neighborhood party at the pool or to whatever else needs to be done to better the community. We did have a former neighbor who left a bad review on Yelp because he had a personality conflict will a previous board member. The neighbor has moved on and the board member is no longer on the board. That was a personal issue between 2 people and not a reflection of the good nature of the community and people who live here.

I can't believe what terrible place this is to live. It's not because of the neighborhood itself,…read moreit's because of the HOA board members and how they have built themselves an empire. They run the board as a dictatorship and if you even think of going against them, they work as hard as they can to make your life as miserable as possible. The HOA board feels they have the right to come on your property and tell you that you need to do maintenance on YOUR home. They berate you at HOA meetings, even wanting the police called to have you removed because you go against them. One such board member waited outside, in the dark, to yell and cuss at an older woman who was leaving the meeting. The HOA president was taken to court because he liked to trespass on other's property, take pictures of the back of people's house with the bedroom curtains open and stand in others yards and talk down to you if you go outside on your patio. The court didn't find enough for an injunction but did warn him to stay off other's property and give a 24 hour notice for any reason to be on someone's property. This HOA board feels they have the right to refuse anyone buying a home on the property if they don't like them for any reason... who does that??? The HOA president is so bad, that there are three houses on his street for sale as of the writing of this review. One on each side of him and one directly across the street (a lady everyone knows he harassess). If you are even considering this place, DON'T!!! Don't let the looks of this place fool you. You will be very unhappy living there... the first time the HOA VP comes by your house (one day after moving in) to tell you your garage door is open and can be fined for that. Go look elsewhere. If you read this, and think I'm crazy for writing it, then go ahead and buy in there. Then come back to this review in a month or two and tell me how correct I was and that you made a mistake buying into this Hitleress neighborhood.

I paid over $3000 for this Gutter Guys of Vero Beach to install whole house gutters to solve a…read moredrainage issue in one of my side yards on a newly constructed 2024 house. It didn't solve that specific drainage problem until I paid another $400 for them to install a 20' underground run from their installed downspout to a pop up drain in the yard. They charged us $20 a ft and it solved the initial drainage problem that caused us to have gutters installed. However, unknown to us at the time was that the installation of the gutters was now going to cause a different drainage issue on the other side of the house that had not existed before the gutters were installed. A few months later two recent downpours caused my pool deck and lanai to flood with 2" of water due to their poor selection of a downspout location on the other side of the house. It was easy to determine that when Gutter Guys of Vero Beach installed a downspout right next to another existing builder downspout for the screened pool enclosure and inches from the pool deck drain, it was now too much water pouring into that one location. I called them to come back and install a pop up drain like they did on the opposite side of the house, but now the price was $800 for just 9 linear feet. That works out to $89 a ft just a few months later. When I questioned this ridiculous price increase they said that the increase was due to their materials costs. In summary they installed a gutter system that created a really bad drainage issue and they don't stand behind their work.

I explained my issue and the tropical was headed our way. They came immediately, gave me a quote…read moreand came back within a couple of days to install a few new gutters.

Many thanks to Juan and the team at BPS Insulation! We hired them to insulate the garage attic in…read moreour home in Vero Beach, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. While completing the job, Juan took the time to inspect the insulation throughout the rest of the house and even discovered and repaired a leak in one of our A/C ducts that we didn't know existed. That level of attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right is hard to find. Juan was knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and honest throughout the entire process. The work was completed on schedule, the pricing was fair and reasonable, and the quality of the workmanship was excellent. If you're in Vero Beach, Indian River County, or anywhere along the Treasure Coast and need insulation work done, I highly recommend BPS Insulation. It's refreshing to work with a company that genuinely cares about its customers and takes pride in its work. Excellent service and a great experience all around.

Thats when I searched again and found a real insulation contractor, BPS. For the same money I got a professional outfit who resealed all of our ductwork and blew in R38 fiberglass insulation. They did a great job and I will definitely call them on our next house fix up project.

I have had several properties over the…read more years dealing with a variety of realtors and in most cases a headache.....however having worked with Melissa it was a seamless effort. She identified the 'real/true value' of my property and listed it and received an offer with a week. Melissa possessed knowledge, experience and insight in approaching a market where most of the realtors stand back and list a property for sold most recent and this was not the case for me. My neighbor who listed about the same time was so upset with his realtor and his results, he is now directing his friends to Melissa. I can't thank Melissa enough, Darrel
