Not the greatest place in the area by far!

1.The Amenitys: The hot tub was broken for a while, the gym smells awful and all the equiptment is broken or outdated. They don't even have free weights. They show off the clubhouse when you come to look, but When we asked to rent it for our wedding we got the run around and was given every excuse why we couldn't use it. Fianlly we were told if they let us use they would ahve to let everyone... WTF!(So we have to pay a ton of money to do it else where) Noone uses the run down tennis courts but there is a basket ball goal someone put up in the parking lot right out side my bedroom window that is constant noise, not to mention the kids don't care if there is a car there getting banged up.The pool is always freezing cold even on the hottest day in July noone is ever in it, b/c this place was laid out poorly and the clubhouse (which you will never step foot in) and another building block the sun from it. The playground is rundown and flat out unsafe. None ever uses it. There a re 2 or 3 bbq pits not any where near my building and they are small and filthy.The gates have never been shut or locked it's just a show thye may not have even worked for 10 years. I told management they need to take all these things of the amenitys list including the suppossed buisness meeting room and home theater???? if they mean club house well.... you'll never get to use it...of coarse 3 months later and the website is the same...don't be fooled! 2. The guy before was right about the snakes they are every where, as well as roachs, frogs,cats, and an occasional stray dog. We even had an alligater back here 2ft from my door for a while. And There is dog droppings everywhere! I take my son for strolls and we are constantly rolling it! So nasty! 3.Parking really is bad in areas. The closest 2 spots to our door are reserved for jetskis and boats? WTF? Plus the handicap spots are like 5 spots down from the sidewalk. 4.Maintenence is horrid! 2 of the apartments near mine were abandoned w/ kicked in doors that would not shut or lock and it took them months to fix them, I was Scared someone may be hiding in there, I had to walk right by a opend dark door everynight. 5. Roaches, are everywhere.... see half the apts are owned by the main company and the other by private owners, so when the company sprays half the apts, thebugs run to the others and vice versa.. it's no nasty! 6. The grounds: most areas are well kept, but we have a nasty canal that runs infront our doors(4apts) and there is tons of garbage, cans, plastic etc just floating stagnit that is not going anywhere it needs to be cleaned, I feel like I am back in N.O. after katrina. 7.The garbage dumpsters overflow down into the entrance weekly and this place isn't even half full! Don't even think about recycling, we have to drive ours all the way out to orangebeach. For all the money thats in this city no one seems to care about the planet. 8.All they seem to care about is getting more tents. They spent money on new flags?WTF? and sales signs for possible tenets instead of fixing things already in ruin. 9.Some one said it is laid back..that is true if you consider laid back kids talking all freaking night long in the parking lots keeping us all up, throwing ciggarette buts everywhere. I actually think a cop lives here but I never seen him tell them to shut up. Some of these apts Have tons of ppl living in just one, I really don't think management cares as longs they get there rent. I moved here b/c the 3 bedroom is alot of space for the price, but I will not be renewing my lease!
