Review №1

We lived there for about 2 and a half years. It was ok while we were getting ready to buy a house but rent was high and went up every year. A few months before we moved out there was some water issue at the house next door and the company they hired turned our yard into a mud pit. They blocked our front door and even after they were done we couldnt use our front door for days. We could not use our front yard the rest the time we lived there and it was dangerous for our kids. There was caution tape up in our yard. Oak Island refused to do anything not even a small rent credit for the fact that we couldnt use our yard. Overall if you dont have other options there are worse places and it was better then an apartment. Felt safe there and they try to do things for the residents like a monthly event but would not be my first choice.

This place was home for my family for 3 years, and served its purpose while we saved to buy a home. Our trailer was in decent condition and a newer model. It is one of the cleaner, well kept parks around. Any place you go there will always be problems, so there is nothing more I can say there. The rent is very high, and goes up every year no matter what. If you do not buy the trailer after a couple years they want you out. So much happened during the 3 years I lived here, I do not have time to post it all. My overall experience here I think 3 stars is fair.

This is an overall clean and very nice park, but the lot rent has been rising steadily over the past 6 years I have been a resident

Manufactured housing community. Nothing shabby, but nothing fancy either.

I have lived here for five years. The management team now is a great team. No favoritism is shown. However, it is slowly becoming another Moon Lake. There are several residents who are disrespectful and dont care how much they infringe upon another persons rights to quiet and peaceful living. They blatantly disrespect management in refusing to adhere to the rules - even when they are called out on this by the management. If you enjoy paying high prices just for living here and getting disrespected, this is the place to be.

Save your time and money. Save your sanity.DONT MOVE HERE.We rented a home here. Paid everything on-time. Went above and beyond to take care of the rental, including removing a thick layer of grease from the kitchen cupboards, furnace face plate, walls, and stove. Removed and remounted the glass/screen door after realizing that it wouldnt close. Insulated the doors with weather seals to stop the rain and snow from continuing to enter the home. None of the expenses were reimbursed.After moving in we noticed a flea infestation in the home. The park got an exterminator, but it took two months of poison and vacuuming every single day to clear it up.We bought a house and gave almost 2 months notice that we would be vacating the property early, expecting to pay rent until occupied. Within days of notifying management we were issued a lawn mowing violation [our first and only] threatening us to mow or pay fines within 3 days. This came even though there was an active drought, most of the lawns were dead, the green part was mowed, and even the maintenance guy hadnt mowed his taller-than-ours grass. It was juvenile and vindictive.Exit inspection manager was advised that maintenance guy had told us not to spackle or paint since hed be doing it again, anyway. Manager noted that I had, indeed, patched nail-holes in walls and didnt paint. He stated to me that new tenants were leasing within 3 days, that charges would not be made due to what wed been told by maintenance, and that we would be signed out without fees. I assumed wed still have a utility payment of some sort.We received a final statement and then an adjusted bill, as expected. It showed that we owed 23 days rent. When I contacted the park they stated that previous manager left, they couldnt help me, and to write corporate with concerns about the final adjustment. Instead, we paid the bill just to be done dealing with them.Less than 3 months after leaving we received a notice of collections by mail and then phone calls started. Oak Island sent us to collections within 2 months of vacating, only 1 month after our adjusted bill, and without other notifications.Sun Communities and Oak Island are terribly unorganized, absolutely unhelpful in resolving these problems, and will go to any length to short-change their customers.Save your time and money. Save your sanity.DONT MOVE HERE.

Community is ok. Management is terrible, they only care about writing people up for stuff and getting on people for breaking the rules, instead of park upkeep or caring about the residents. People can rent to own houses, community has changed and gone downhill slightly since Sun Comunities took over. Would not recommend as a place to live. High rent, terrible management, subpar community.

Awful place to live. Rent price is absolutely outrageous, neighbors are nosey, maintenance doesnt exist here, management doesnt exist here, have a bad month and need to make smaller payments to catch up? Hell no.They jack up lot rent by about $150 bucks every time you resign the lease, they talk about there being no crime here but every other house manufactures drugs and my neighbor was arrested for domestic violence. My own house someone was killed in, we were only informed of this AFTER we signed the lease.The management here will not work with you with anything. If youre low on money for the month and need a little bit of an assist with payments, they will not help, and will actually charge you more money for the late fee. One of the managers here lives here for free as well.The maintenance person changes seemingly every week. If you call for maintenance, youll be lucky if they show up by the end of the year. And if they do show up, they will not fix what needs fixing, and will charge you anyway.This is ranty and doesnt connect well. Basically if youre looking for some place to live? Youd be better off under a bridge. Look somewhere else, do not give these people any money. They are breaking so many laws here.

This community as are all of Suns communities are ridiculous unless you like that lifestyle. Everyone is always in your business, and the constant lot rent increases are to much. You can go broke living in any of these places. Definitely do NOT buy a home from them. You get the world promised to you, and they do not deliver. If you want to own a home, save your money and buy a stick built house. The try to sweeten the deal with lease credits and no money down, but its not worth it. These homes lose value so fast, and no one is willing to work with you, EVER!!!!!!

Review №25

Retired and wanted to downsize. Qualified to buy and was interested in a place. Then suddenly they shut us down, quit talking to us, like we had the plague. Never found out why and the place is still for sale, for less money. Guess they make enough money, so they dont really care......too bad. Its a nice location, but poor management with a seemingly total lack of respect for other humans makes it a highly questionable place to live.

Absolutely terrible place to live. The people are creepy and a time or two when we had unavoidable financial setbacks, they refused to work with us, when any other place weve ever been to, let us pay in payments for a month to get caught back up. Also when we were not given the option to re-lease at the end of our 1 year lease (was less than a months notice) they charged us $900 for picture frame holes in the walls that were there before we moved in and for a paint job of two rooms. Absolutely ridiculously priced as well. $850 for a small trailer with no yard and creepy neighbors. NOT worth the money!

Constantly changing management (weve had 4 new ones in 5 years). They change the billing, fees, ect. with no warning. Rent has went UP $130 per month from our original payment since we moved in 5 years ago. You could BUY a nice home in the surrounding areas for the price of renting an ok home in here.Current management closes early and on times thet are supposed to be open.We bought our premodular, and before we moved in the maintenence man took a bunch of things out of our house to repair, like our kitchen island doors, for example. He quit, then the management quit. They never returned the items or re-embursed us either.CONSTANT water problems. Which half the time they dont tell you they are turning off the water. We once went 72 hours with no water, and because there was no warning, our tank empted and burnt out our heating element (weve had 3 burnt elements from this problem).The upside is the pool is nice. Thats what the one star is for.They have a decent work out room, which you have to go to late at night because teens are constantly playing in it. Garbage on the playground/park is everwhere, even though I pick it up every time I go. They have cameras over the entire area, they apparently just never cracked down on certain people.We woke up one morning a couple months ago to 4 police cars in front of our house and armed police staking out around our house. Turns out the neighbor was growing/processing drugs in his house. Surprise...surprise. The officers in the area are very kind and helpful but that has to do with Bath police not the park. When we moved in they boasted that they have NO crime in the park, ever. That they dont even allow felons to move in here. But this is not the first drug bust, I found out later.This park has the possibility to be a beautiful place. However right now its WAY overcharged, for a trashy trailer park, with negligent management. Too bad.
