Miserable Experience - - NEVER AGAIN!

From Federal Highway, the building is nicely designed and alluring to the unsuspecting renter. Once they have your money, however, things quickly go down hill.

* The pool is frequently dirty
* There is never any gas in the grill outside.
* The electronic locks on the apartment doors work about 95% of the time, but that means 5% of the time you end up locked out of your own apartment!
* As others have noted, they DO nickel and dime you for everything.
* Guest parking is a total nightmare
* FORGET about having friends in the pool
* FORGET about anything remotely resembling a party or gathering
* The full pet deposit applies to EACH pet - there is no discount for the 2nd or 3rd
* The police (BSO) are ALWAYS here for one thing or another
* We get "notice of criminal activity" sheets several times per month
* If your neighbor smokes, it ends up coming out of your heating/cooling vents

Probably the worst part of the experience has been having to deal with the morons in the front office. Those that have lived or currently do live here surely know what I mean. They are arrogant, unhelpful, and totally incompetent.

My advice... run... as fast as you can......... in today's market, you can rent a home that is much nicer, larger, and with a backyard, all for similar money. The best part is that you will not have to deal with the Leasing Office here at the Residences at Bayview.

WOW! Believe it or not I just went by there today to inquire about an apartment.... Is it really this bad? I can't believe out of 16 reviews for this place over half of them are negative. I would hope that would send the management a message....Any suggestions for nice places nearby or in the area?
