He told me, showed me and said what he had available. I appreciated him working with my time window and listening to my wants in a new location. Sea Breeze's apartments have a nice lay out and well maintained grounds. Since moving in I am loving the quietness, the location in proximity to convenience of good shopping, a great state beach and nearness to the freeway access ability. William continues to be extremely helpful, and dependable. If I come up with concerns or questions William has not brushed them off, he has been there to do what he can to help and or fix the problem. As stated in the beginning I am a new resident and quite happy to call this place home.

They are completely dishonest. i just gave a reviewed for them, mistakenly, on Monterey Pines…read moreMOTEL. i would just advise people against going there. There will be constant noise from apartment renovations. THEY will NOT tell you before you move in that your neighbors are leaving and that they are going to be drilling, knocking down terraces, etc., right against your wall--they are in a process of demoliishing one apt. after another. Furthermore, they will always find an illegal way to keep your security and probably tack on more expense. They were supposed to change a portion of my carpet--it was in perfect condition. $200, they said, for one stain---Suddenly i have a bill for $1000 PAST my $700 security deposit and by that time i had left CA. They RUINED my credit report with their dishonesty, all because i did not take them to court as i should have at the time. Buyer, beware!!

Absolutely unacceptable experience…read more Pacific Grove Rentals canceled my confirmed reservation twice, both times claiming a "pricing error." Not once, but twice. At that point, it stops feeling like a mistake and starts feeling like a complete disregard for customers and their travel plans. I had already invested time planning my trip and relied on the reservation being honored. Instead, I was left scrambling to find alternative accommodations while rates elsewhere had increased. A confirmation should mean something. Apparently, with Pacific Grove Rentals, it doesn't. What is most concerning is the lack of accountability. Rather than standing behind a confirmed booking and making the situation right, the reservation was simply canceled, leaving me to deal with the consequences. That is not how a reputable vacation rental company operates. The entire experience felt unprofessional, unreliable, and incredibly frustrating. If you value your vacation plans and don't want to risk having your reservation canceled after you've already made arrangements, I would strongly recommend booking with a different company. A company's true character is revealed when something goes wrong. Based on my experience, Pacific Grove Rentals failed that test completely.

When you give them your deposi, do not assume you are getting it back. We lived in this house (510…read moreCarmel Av in Pacific Grove) for $4,500 per month for over two years and they kept a large chunk of our deposit, despite the place being cluttered with lots of dirty items from previous renters. Every morning, you could hear the neighbor coughing at 5am, so we slept poorly. None of tvs worked, but then they blamed us for it--not a 20th century smart tv. If you don't want to lose your deposit and do want to get good sleep, do not stay here. I am writing to formally dispute the $1,430 deduction from my security deposit for cleaning services, including carpets and windows. Under California Civil Code §1950.5, landlords may only deduct for cleaning necessary to return the unit to the condition it was in at move-in, excluding normal wear and tear. After two years of tenancy, standard carpet wear and light dust are to be expected. Unless there was damage or extreme filth -- which I contest -- these cleaning charges appear excessive and unjustified.

I used to live in Schoonover Park, at the time it was managed by Alliance Property Management…read more.. I think 'hell hole' would be the most accurate descriptor I would apply to Schoonover Park Housing on the former Fort Ord in Monterey County, CA. It was a disaster when I lived there... They used incompetent contractors to remodel the units that those of us who worked for California State University Monterey Bay, lived in. The linoleum that was installed in the kitchens and bathrooms was 'caulked' -with latex caulk on the seams at the doorways. After the first time the floors were mopped, the linoleum all started to curl-up at the doorways and where any two pieces were joined together. As a former carpenter and trade unionist, I knew that seams in vinyl/linoleum floors were required to be sealed with a manufacturer-approved sealer that actually bonded the two pieces of flooring together, thereby preventing the infiltration of water or dirt that can cause failure of the flooring and the curling and peeling floor that I experienced. I called Schoonover Park multiple times on this matter to request them to come and assess the situation. They would never respond, nor come and look at it. Once Autumn came and it began to get colder, the furnace in my apartment would not work. It never worked the entire time (slightly less than a year) I lived in the building. With this problem, they allegedly came out to look at it and then told me it was working fine. Except it didn't and would never light. Luckily, I came from the Midwest and was fully capable of living in the apartment while the heat was not working. Upon being laid off by the University, I immediately received an eviction notice from Schoonover management. I disregarded it. They attempted to assess hundreds of dollars in fees whereby I countered with the emails I'd sent them about the poor/non-existent maintenance I'd had to deal with. I then got a letter from a kangaroo law firm. I responded by having an attorney friend threaten them. The fees were quickly absolved. I spoke with Human Resources at CSUMB who told me numerous people had complained about the property management company. I sincerely hope Alliance Property Management is no longer the authority for the complex.

It's very family friendly - lots of parks/playgrounds and the management team put on family events occasionally. The maintenance team rocks - every maintenance request I have ever had wS addressed in a timely fashion. I feel safe in this neighborhood - there are many cops that live here and also patrol. Which is good for safety, bad for traffic violations. Overall, I think you get every penny's worth of what you pay to live here. Aside from what other reviews have said about the management company, they are great. If something does slip past them, they are quick to fix it and accommodate the resident - in my experience.

I lived at Marina Meadows from July 2008 through January 2011. The apartments are well maintained -…read morerequests for maintenance are always handled quickly. They have 1 and 2 bedrooms and they come with a 1-car garage and storage room. Sound proofing is not great, there were some issues with noisy upstairs neighbors, but the apt manager helped to solve that problem. Parking for extra cars can be an issue, as there is a limited amount of extra spaces in the complex and usually a fight for street parking. They now offer recycling pick up which is great. Rent increased once, but I understand that was the only time in 5 years. I wish they would update the kitchens and the bathrooms - the cabinets were in pretty sad shape. Really enjoyed working with Tobie the apartment manager and all of the maintenance staff. Neighbors were nice also. Had a difficult time when I moved out getting my security deposit back. They contract a private cleaning service (consists of one man) who does the final walk through inspection with the manager. I spent an entire 8 hour Sunday cleaning my apartment to a condition that was better than I received it, and on Monday, my bf and I met w/ the apartment manager and the cleaning guy. Unfortunately, the cleaning guy took over the whole inspection, walking around and pointing out what he could clean "better." In my opinion, this was a conflict of interest, as the cleaner was in a position to make money on whatever he said needed better cleaning. Here's some of the things they found needed better cleaning: - they wanted the oven taken apart and scraped of any baked on grease (we had already done that but they wanted it in new condition. this was a 20 year old oven at least), - they wanted the kitchen floor stripped and waxed (something I'd never done before and was nervous about) and i realized why the entire time I'd lived there, there were stains on the linoleum that I couldn't get up - previous tenants had waxed over dirt. - they wanted the caulking around the toilet redone (it was old and dirty when we got the apartment), - they wanted the shower doors removed and caulking redone there (previously, someone had clear caulked over mildew), and - they wanted 20 year old water spots removed from the plastic shower and doors. For all of this, the contract cleaner guy wanted almost $500. I am left to assume that Marina Meadows was NOT using this cleaner prior to me moving into my apartment, because my apartment was not up to his clean standards when I moved in. The apartment was not dirty - but it was a 20 year old apartment and showed its age. The apartment manager gave us more time to clean and long story short, we cleaned for another 10 days and had 4 more inspections, each time, they said that the apartment was not clean enough. Finally, we gave up. They told us we'd get all but $300 back. I brought my camera and took pictures, sadly preparing to go to court. In the end, the apartment manager said we'd done a good job and gave us 100% of our deposit back, but I have to admit, the experience was very stressful and unnecessary. I don't feel that 20 year old apartments can be restored to "new condition" by normal people - you have to be a professional cleaner with access to industrial strength products. I'm thankful I got my deposit back, but I encourage new residents to fill out their move-in checklist with exacting conditions. Make a note of every speck of dirt, or drop of grease inside the oven - take pictures if you can. Because you will most likely be called on it when you move out. Overall, I loved my apartment at Marina Meadows and recommend this complex.
