  First off, the units are great, they keep everything clean. Yes, quiet and peaceful. But I will stop there. I moved into Sandpiper Glen when they first began accepting applicants. At first glance, it seemed like the ideal location for anyone seeking a peaceful and quiet community. The apartments come equipped with a washer and dryer — but be aware, there’s a $55 monthly fee on top of rent. There’s also a dishwasher, though I never used it, so I can’t say whether there’s an extra charge for that. You’re not allowed to decorate your balcony, front door, or even have a doormat. Only patio furniture is permitted. Sandpiper Glen advertised a shuttle service to take residents to malls and stores — that never happened. If you own a car, you’ll need to pay a garage fee. And you’ll want a car, because the bus doesn’t run regularly and it’s a long walk to the nearest stop. As for community events, there are occasional tenant gatherings, but nothing meaningful or consistent. And if you have grandchildren, be warned: they’re only allowed to visit on weekends and cannot stay overnight. Adult visitors can come anytime, but they also aren’t allowed to stay overnight. I’m moving because I feel more like a prisoner than a resident. I live alone, I’m sick, and my family doesn’t live in Orlando. Why should they have to pay for a hotel and rent a car just to visit me? At the very least, management could implement a guest registration system to allow family or friends to stay temporarily with notice. What truly disappointed me was the issue with my rent deposit. I’m on a fixed income and receive a Section 8 voucher. Six months into my residency, I received a notice on my door stating I owed an $800 deposit — something I was never told about during the application process. You’d think that would be one of the first things discussed before move-in. Maybe they assumed Section 8 covered it, but to wait that long and then give me a 30-day notice was cruel — especially for an elderly, sick woman on a limited income. This was my first time moving with Section 8, and I had no idea about this deposit. I was given 30 days to pay or face eviction. I nearly had a heart attack. I only knew about the non-refundable $100 application fee. I ended up giving them my entire SSI check, which meant I couldn’t pay my utilities or phone bill the following month. I had to beg for extensions and barely had money left for food. I informed management that I wouldn’t be renewing my lease because I planned to move closer to my family. When I asked about getting my deposit back — the one I had just paid — they said no, because I didn’t give a 60-day notice. How is that fair? They waited six months to demand a deposit they failed to collect at move-in, but won’t extend the same courtesy to me? I told them in August (which was 60-days out) that I wouldn’t be renewing when they sent the lease renewal. Still, they’re withholding my deposit. Now I can’t afford movers because I have to use my entire check again to pay the deposit at my new place. I refuse to accept that they won’t return my money. Maybe it’s because 14 residents have already died here in their apartments, and they’re desperate to fill empty units. Whatever the reason, please — read the fine print. Be prepared to follow their strict rules, especially regarding family visits. This place is not for me. But if you’re okay with the restrictions and extra fees, it might work for you. One last thing: if you have a disability that prevents you from using stairs, insist on a ground-floor unit. Two months into my stay, there was a fire drill at 9 p.m. The elevators were shut down, and I was stuck on the second floor with my walker. No one from management came to check on me or explain what was happening. I had to yell from my patio to ask other tenants what was going on. I was terrified and in tears. Thankfully, it was just a false alarm — a malfunction, I later learned. All I want is my deposit back so I can leave this place and be closer to my family.

  I\n Was on their waiting list when they were still building? Never got a phone call. Then this year I did a pre app online, never got an answer never got phone calls, I had to call them. It took 3 or 4 calls and messages before they call me back. Actually, they never called me back.I had to call them all.I can say is bad customer service.Good thing i'm not moving there

  𝐸lein es una persona dulce y ayuda a todos. Se necesita conserjes. Tengo una pluma del baño rota hace dos semanas y me dicen que no hay piezas que cierre la llave en un sitio solo tiene un año. Y no hay consejes.

  I am writing to highly give thanks to Shaneetta Anthony, Yolanda Nazario, and Eileen Anaya for their exceptional dedication and proactive assistance with my recertification. Once l supplied the needed documents and completed my part of the recertification the staff started to research and verify my documents to make this a quick and easy process. They not only completed their own tasks, but offered support during this time. Their willingness to go the extra mile combined with their expertise help me to complete my recertification. I am incredibly grateful for their commitment and positive attitude. I love it here at Sandpiper Glen. Thank you ladies.
