I reported the dog park water bowl almost a week and a half ago because it was full of stagnant water, algae, mold, and mildew. Management responded saying someone would come clean it, but nothing has been done. We are in Florida during extreme heat advisories, and dogs deserve access to clean, fresh drinking water. Instead, the water bowl has been left in this condition for weeks. It's frustrating that something so simple hasn't been addressed. I hope management will finally replace or properly clean the water bowl so pets have safe drinking water.

Struggling to give 2 stars…read more Pros: Property is in a good location. Right off the highway, close to everything you need and complex is brand new. Landscaping is beautiful and well taken care of. Staff is always friendly. Cons: Noise: Apartments have very little sound proofing. We hear everything from our neighbors. One night, it was a frustrated gamer upstairs and sometimes in the morning the neighbor adjacent to us, says very loud self-affirmations. Once you sign the lease, you are locked in and are agreeing to any noise disturbances. If we had known how bad the noise was going to be, we would have not rented here - although it was much worse when there was a lot of construction. Internet: We also had internet issues lasting for a couple of days. Mainly with our MACs not being able to connect to WIFi any time there was a power outage and the internet was rebooted. These were not hardware issues, these were related to the service (I work in I.T.). We were provided a link to access our internet account but there is no way to reboot/restart your internet which often solves issues. We would have to call the support number who could never resolve our connectivity issues unless someone came "on-site". I work from home and run a digital business so not having consistent, reliable internet impacts my income. Security: Some buildings have working gates with codes and some units either don't have gates or have gates that aren't working. This includes parking gates. We're not too concerned with working/non working gates except we have had issues with package deliveries. If security is a concern, then you may want to double check the gates in your building. Although, it always seemed odd to have some areas of parking gated while others were not. Move Out: We are currently trying to get our final move out statement adjusted. We only lived in our apartment for a little less than a year so there was very little "wear and tear". Upon move out, we cleaned our apartment thoroughly and was surprised to receive charges for carpet cleaning, paint and general cleaning. They sent a picture which was a "dent" in the carpet from where my desk was so my guess this is what they are charging for. Also, for the fridge, my guess is they are charging for the water in the fridge. Note that we received pictures about a month after we moved out and during that time, there was a hurricane so this could be from the loss of power, we're not sure but we cleaned the fridge. We're also being charged for the hard water stains on the water dispenser as well as in the sink. I attempted to use CLR, comet and other agents to clean the hard water stains but nothing worked. We have a video and I will be sending it to the apartment complex because after reviewing and inspecting our video, some of these pictures don't match. Either way, they are basically charging us for general wear and tear. Deliveries: 90% of the time, delivery drivers couldn't find our apartment or assumed because there were gates, that they could not access our apartment. The gates don't work. While packages can be left at the mail center, it's a pain when you are waiting for food or groceries. By the way, your packages are sometimes left on the mail table and not a locker.

The units looked nice and were shown as "luxury rentals". I can attest that this community is anything but luxury! From loud neighbors throwing parties at 3am, huge palmetto roaches everywhere in the units, broken glass and dog poop on the sidewalks for weeks with no cleanup, the pool area overflowing with trash, broken umbrellas, and HUMAN FECES in the pool, no staffed maintenance personnel- just random on call "employees", and AC units constantly breaking down you would think you were renting in a section 8 community not one that costs between 2-3k a month! Do your homework and look elsewhere if you are looking for a luxury rental. Oh, and now they are trying to sell them for 600k+ a unit ?!? Don't say I didn't warn you.

It's almost like you feel like the burden asking them basic questions, like some of the stuff I've experienced in the just the last month. For example they randomly deactivated my key fob so I couldn't get into my apartment one day :) even tho I've never missed rent once. They also switched my call box number so I couldn't get in that way either. When I brought this up to them not once did they say sorry, they fixed it which was great but seemed pissed off that I'm even asking them to fix there mess up. My bad I guess lol, then today my car got hit and ran in the parking lot so I assumed oh I'll go ask to see the cameras and that'll give me an answer. They have no cameras except for there workout rooms and the pool. So no luck there for me either. It's just disappointing paying 2k+ for a 1 bed and we can't even get cameras in the parking lots for safety measures, just kinda crazy for 2026 imo

Especially great location if you fish! Only drawback is that washer and dryer are not included in the unit so you have to pay and go to the community laundry room, although I never had an issue with getting an available machine. Also the floor plans are kind of small, but worth it for the beautiful view. New management is very friendly and great that the office is now open on Saturday's as well.
