On August 3, 2025, our 2024 boat, valued at approximately $130,000, was vandalized and stripped…read morewhile stored at Safeguard Self Storage in Seffner, Florida. We chose this facility because it was advertised and represented as a secure, premium storage option, featuring vertical pivot metal gates, a 10-foot cement perimeter wall, full surveillance cameras, covered storage, and well-lit grounds. We pay $350 per month for this service (an increase of over $100 in the past six months), under the belief that these security measures would protect our property. At approximately 9:34 p.m. on August 3, 2025, unknown individuals entered the premises through the exit gate. They proceeded directly to our boat and spent over one hour, according to surveillance footage reviewed with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, forcibly working on it. For more than 30 minutes, they used tools to grind off the lock on the trailer tongue, destroying the tongue in the process. The boat was then relocated to the back of the lot, where thieves removed: The entire Yamaha motor and bracket Two Garmin GPS units Steering wheel Motor controls Ignition system and wiring 36V lithium battery Various other equipment and personal property from inside the boat After the theft, the boat was returned to its original parking spot. Despite the facility's surveillance system and staff, we were not notified until 2:44 p.m. the following day, August 4, 2025. Only after we were contacted did Safeguard notify the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Adding to our frustration, Safeguard Self Storage processed our monthly payment the same day the theft was reported. When we contacted the District Manager multiple times regarding reimbursement, we were informed that the company would not cover any losses or provide financial assistance. To date, no stolen items have been recovered. Our boat remains at the facility awaiting inspection by our insurance adjuster. This experience has left us financially harmed, emotionally distressed, and with a total loss of trust in Safeguard Self Storage. Despite paying for a facility marketed as safe and secure, our property was directly targeted, stripped, and left under their watch without intervention or adequate response. I had to give 1 star because it will not allow me to give a zero.

The unit itself was 68 a month, then 29 admin fee and 19 for the lock, figured would take the 120 first month hit and then was about 70 a month, which was fine. Not even 3 months later we get a notice it was going up to 139.00 a month! A 50% increase because of market conditions? Greed at its best. Moved out a few days after receiving that notice. Be wary of specials because good chance you will be in same position I was.

I believe customer service has gotten a bad rap lately--but my experience at SmartStop Self Storage…read morecompletely changed that. After downsizing from a four-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment (after losing my partner of 16 years), I found myself needing a small storage unit for the things I simply didn't have room for. I love my new apartment, but even with great closets, I needed a bit more space for peace of mind. Searching online was overwhelming with too many options, so I decided to stop by SmartStop--and I'm so glad I did. That's where I met Sandy, who was exactly what I needed. She took the time to listen to my story, made thoughtful recommendations, and even walked me to see the unit in person. Sandy made the entire process seamless. Within a short time, I had rented the perfect unit to store my belongings. I now view the monthly cost as an investment in peace of mind. My home feels calm and uncluttered, and I still have access to everything I need--whether it's my craft bins, holiday decorations, or even my golf clubs--all safe in a clean, climate-controlled space. Thank you, Sandy, for your kindness, patience, and professionalism. You truly helped me find a home away from home for my things.

Attempted to get it rectified and was unable for 2 months. We got the run around from the new owners who we found out never proceeded any refund even though they claimed they did. Had to take it to corporate level and the issue was rectified in less then a week. As new business owners they are in trustworthy and rude. They are horrible at customer service and truly liars and thieves as they never followed through nor had any intention to do so. Plenty of other businesses in the area ...I would avoid this business at all costs.
