Jaymar Apartments (Gardner Management, Inc.) 117 Alder Avenue Southeast, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548

"Lived here for two years. Great landlords. Had next to no issues but they jumped on them quick if I did. They take very good care of you. For the price you won't get a better location being able to walk to downtown Fort Walton, have a Publix and a Winn-Dixie right down the road, 5 minute drive to the beach on Okaloosa Island and 15 minutes at most to get into Destin. Also very quiet location even though it's close to where all the action is happening."

"Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Like many other apartment rental offices, they do not return calls when they say they will. I have called several times to ask questions about availability, pricing, parking, etc. Each time I call they tell me that they will have a "leasing agent" call me back - instead of just answering my questions. What a freaking joke. And I've learned that if you call back from the same phone number you called from the last time, the call automatically goes to an offsite "answering service" where they have no info at all. I get the impression that they either have an incompetent staff, a lazy staff, or a staff who just don't give a rat's *ss. Absolutely terrible customer service - which tells me that maybe it is a good thing that they never returned my calls. It is a very strange atmosphere anyway, where management is simply not available. And parking is very limited - if you are lucky enough to find a place. Just a weird place altogether. So BEWARE!!! Gardner Mgt. Inc - Right!!! What a joke!!!"

"James was personable but professional and very helpful when I was looking for a new place to live. He provided everything needed to get utilities transferred and I found the apartment in very good condition. Privacy is respected, communication clear, and my one maintenance call - AC leaking on a Friday evening - was responded to and resolved within an hour."

"Management is great. Very quiet simple place."

"I moved to the area from overseas, it was difficult finding a place to live in the area that was reasonably priced and close to everything, without moving up to Crestview or out to Navarre. This place is great if your single, married, or have a small family they have two bedroom apartments for a small family. The owners were great with everything, they also take great care of the units and property. Any issue I ever had, I had a response and fix action as soon as I called. Its a 5 minute walk from the apartments to downtown Fort Walton and surrounding restaurants and a 20-25 minute walk to the boardwalk on Okaloosa island if you want to walk. Either way your very close to the gulf and places to go if you drive. I worked at Eglin and it took me no longer than 15 minutes to get to work everyday, just hop on the parkway and your there. I recommend this apartment complex highly if you would like to stay and live in the Fort Walton Beach area!"
