I am a long-time resident of Casa de Marina and wouldn't have lived here so long if it wasn't a great place to live. The grounds, laundry rooms, pools, saunas, etc., are all well taken care of. Additionally, if you have a problem in your apartment, their maintenance staff is quick to fix whatever goes wrong.
That said, the on-site current manager is somewhat difficult to deal with. She's polite and proper, but get on her bad side (I won't go into details on this site out of concern that I'll be even more targeted), and she won't hesitate to let you know you've ticked her off, won't speak with you even if you live near the manager's apartment, and holds a grudge like no one else. I actually found myself apologizing to her for something for which she was clearly in the wrong. And then I felt like an idiot. Why am I apologizing to her, when my rent goes to paying HER salary.
On the other hand, the assistant manager is a blessing. He's always kind, warm, resolves problems quickly, is engaging without going over the top and I'd actually go so far as to say he's THE BEST assistant manager we've had at this facility.
Don't let the manager's misbehavior turn you off. This really is a great community and the people who live here are so friendly. You can't live here long without someone trying to make friends with you quickly. Once you walk in the gates of this facility, it's like walking into a tropical resort. It's a great, great place to live.
