Strawberry Ridge Florida was homey and… Strawberry Ridge Florida was homey and welcoming then, Corporate took down the block white fencing that hid the homes and kept us secluded. The white fence was lined with lovely mature hedges. Then bam! That was all torn out and replaced with black metal prison looking fencing that changes the look and security. Now, SR has the appearance of an old Florida Trailor Park. You can see straight through the fencing with no safety of being hidden. It took months to replace Palms and "some" plants. There were NO operational Gates for even longer. We were and are like sitting ducks. The rent and taxes keep soaring like their other properties. SR has a sweet senior population that now has a Gator and babies to contend with. From 1977 till a few months SR never had a Gator. Two 90+ y/o's live directly on the Gator infested VERY SMALL pond. Sigh. None of these issues have anything to do with kind Office Staff. ALL of this began with the aquisition of SR by Cove Properties.

was turned down due to supposively my… was turned down due to supposively my rental application . I was going to buy the trailer out right in Sun Valley park . I gave them 3 months of proof income. I had proof could afford lot rent. wanted to buy trailer out rigtht. Dont go to Sun valley park in palm Harbor fl.who is run by cove communities. they couldnt tell me anything the credit was by a third party who they claim dont know who they are. what away to run a business. like a person said they are not the only park. So true.

Lot Rent 1500 a month Camelot East, Sarasota. This business has raised my lot rent to almost 1500 a month. When I expressed concern, I was told they could "raise it for no reason." I want to sell but there are currently 62 properties for sale within Camelot and Camelot East in Sarasota. They are barely selling (within the six months, online estimates show about five or six sold per Zillow & Realtor) I need my money back. I need out. But with 1,500 dollar a month lot rent for basically nothing in return, why would anyone want to buy here? Cove: lower the damn prices. You are pricing seniors out of their homes. So many of us need out. Why are you making it so difficult? Most of the staff is wonderful here, but the person running this place..shouldn't be in any type of customer oriented job.

They bought Bear Creek here in Ormond… They bought Bear Creek here in Ormond Beach. I’ve had my house on the market for almost a year now and can’t sell because they will raise the lot rent by $350.00 on whoever buys it! The community here had a scheduled town hall meeting with Cove and they cancelled at the last minute!! They are apparently not concerned about communication with their renters. I personally feel like I’m a hostage here. I wouldn’t recommend them to an enemy!!!

We are on our third manager in less… We are on our third manager in less than 2 years because Cove does not give them the tools or information and constantly changes their minds about what they are doing. We are getting fancy pavers, but have a clubhouse where you can fall through the floor and through the floor heating grates. We have inaccurate street signs - that took 2 years to get made after being promised. They put a fountain in a pond but can't keep it working.... while there are 4 streets in the community that flood when we get more than 2 inches of rain. Corporate comes to visit and smirks openly in the office to a visitor filling in an app that residents do not know what is coming (needless to say, that visitor did not complete the app!!). The maintenance man has often been drinking and cannot lift more than 30 pounds, but they keep him. Residents need to do their own trimming, but if they try to help each other, the office will not let the trimmings be picked up by the park because the resident herself (80 yrs old in a walker) did not place them on the curb and paid the neighbor $25 to do the trimming (making the kind neighbor a business!!- get a life!).
