  My husband and I lived here for 4 years while dating and engagement and moved out in April. Our 4 years at the retreat at Carmel was such an amazing experience. We are so grateful for the staff here. A special thank you to Bess for always being so helpful, kind and attentive to any questions or maintence issues we had. During our 4 years living here we never had noise issues. At the end of our lease someone new moved in next door and always was cooking Thai food and we could smell it. Honestly only time we were annoyed while living there. Whenever we submitted a maintenance issue it was taken care of same day. It's so nice also that each apartment gets their own trash and recycling bin and you just have to set it at the end of your drive way on pick up day. I already miss the pool so much! The view and how quiet it is at the pool since not many kids go to the pool was my favorite especially for reading. I know a few of the reviews complained about there being outstanding fees for carpet replacement or ext and tbh I think those people possibly deserved it and didn't take care of their apartment well, or did a deep clean before turning the keys in. We def had a few wine stains in the carpet but deep cleaned it before turning the keys in and had no issues. We deep clean the whole apartment before turning the keys in. We moved out a month early and they said if someone signed for our apartment during the month we are moved out, they would refund us our rent. Which did end up happening which was nice. It did take their management a month to mail us the security deposit and rent refund for the time someone resided in our apartment during the remaining of our lease. I highly recommend the retreat at Carmel!

  The maintenance department (Tony) is extremely helpful and always responds to requests in a timely manner. I’ve lived in many other complexes before, and have never experienced such a great maintenance department!

  I couldn't recommend The Retreat enough! Friendly and professional staff, great location and amenities, and the apartments units are updated and in great condition.

  I lived here for 2 years and I am afraid I will never find an apartment community as amazing as the Retreat. Their maintenance is phenomenal and super fast- the best maintenance you will ever have. I would call with a problem and no matter how small they would be at my door minutes later. The apartments and landscaping are beautiful and well maintained. The Retreat is also the only apartment community I have ever found with attached garages with direct access. For the location and everything the Retreat has to offer the price is worth it if you can afford it.
