I have lived at Island Pointe for many years. I have never experienced the conditions or lack of service that others write about. I live on the river and the view is amazing. The property is a hidden gem. No one knows we are here and I like that. I work downtown and it takes me 8 minutes to get there. Im close to the airport and the River City Market Place for shopping. Yes I will admit that there have been some staffing changes over the years, but the current staff that has been here since I believe June this year, is great. The ladies in the office have never been so friendly and address any concerns I might have immediately. I see the staff taking care of property issues immediately where maybe in the past it took some time. They had a great pool party for all of us with a DJ, lots of prizes and food catered by Pollo Tropical...YUM! This is a beautiful community. You cant find this anywhere else but here. I love sitting on my screened in porch and watching the manatees and all the other wildlife. The sunsets are breathtaking. My husband loves to fish and can do so right here. This is a peaceful community
