"Home sweethome"

"If you like living in a motel like environment, this is the place for you. Most of the residents are quite nice but the owner, Michael Murphy, is stingy and cheap. I spoke with people there who were waiting to have faulty appliances replaced and 2 years later it was still not done. We were promised a new dishwasher and after 1 1/2 years, when we moved, it was still not replaced. The biggest drawback is lack of privacy. There are no back patio's so if you want to sit out you sit in front of your place or in pool chairs. Every apt. faces the pool area. Smoking is not allowed inside so people smoke at the front and rear entrance. The rear smoking area was right outside our bedroom window so even in the winter when everyone opens their windows, we could not. I spoke with the manager and he said the owner Murphy would not move the smoking area. It totally ruined winter time. While it's a great location, expect your rent to go up each year. And when you move, he's known for not giving deposits back. We cleaned the place so that we left it cleaner than when we moved in. He zinged us for rolls in the carpet. I told him when it was installed the guy never stretched it, he glued it in the center. We got less than half of our deposit back. Lastly,if you live on the 1st floor expect to hear every noise from above you. You'll hear when they walk, if they drop anything or move a chair. We did not enjoy living there."

"I really enjoyed this community, the pool is great, the location and people are just phenomenal. Was very affordable for the Belleair Bluffs area. I highly recommend renting here."

"Great place to live, owner and his family are great people."
