Ocean Breeze Apartments

Year one here in oceanbreeze was tolerable. The longer we stayed, the worst the experience became. We witness several times where garages were broken into and vehicles were vandilized. The so call security and lock gate was a joke, the entire time we lived there the gate never got fixed, which explains the raid that happened across the way.
The smell of feces was unbearable, which management ignored all complaints.
The «locked gate» allowed anyone to come in and park, although parking was already tight. That explains the scratches on my car.
The rent and water gets raised every year we lived there, for no reasonable explanation.
We never have had flee or a roach problem before, until we moved here. When the issue was bought to the attention of management, it was not taken seriously. We had to come out of our own pocket to purchase repelent.
The «gym» is a joke, and the TV in there has been stolen twice. («security»)
Gabriella «property manager of the year» who lived on site, is a pushover. She never address any concerns or problems, and handed all responsibilities off to her assistant Vanessa, not her fault because she was never properly trained.
After our move out inspection, we were told that we would receive our security deposit within 2 – 3 weeks. After a month of ignored emails, we finally recived our check.
I DO NOT recommend living here! Save your money and don’t stay here.

We lived here for a year before moving out of state. The property manager and management in general are 100% to love. They are all friendly and really make you feel welcomed. It was nice to have space in our garage to place all of our extra boxes that we had no space for. The vinyl floor makes cleaning so easy, and all of the appliances are brand new. We loved that everyone had there own bathrooms and the mirrored closets are to love as well. Not once did we have any pest problems. Thank you for having us.

First I want to say that the management has been nothing but extremely helpful to me and my wife from day one. We moved here from NC and even when having to work over the phone across the country they were extremely professional and assisted with every request we had in order to make this move flawless. These apartments are located perfectly for access to the beach which is literally a 2 minute drive straight down the road and anything else you could possibly need or want to include the base which is 2 exits down the freeway. All of our neighbors are extremely friendly and helpful. Being that this complex is really pet friendly there are a lot of other animals which may cause some noise and a flea here or there but if you take care of your animals right you should not have any issues. Anytime our apartment has any issues that needs maintenance we have put in a request and it was addressed and fixed literally if not that same day, the very next day. The management is totally approachable about any issues you may have and in the rare occasion we have had an issue they took care of it right away. I have seen security make a round or two at night many times just to check on everything and of the countless times I have taken my dogs out in the middle of the night I have yet to see anything that would raise any eyebrows. Definitely worth your time to come out and get a walk through, they are always working on upgrading the complex however they can and I know in the future these will only get better.

I don’t write many reviews but i have too write one for this apt. Im a active duty service member who lived here for 11 months. At a certain point in time we had folks that moved in a building down that were rude disruptive and always partying, and wanted too start fights with the other people who lived in the building, after we complianed too management they told us there is nothing they can do too help us. The management is horrible have no clue whats going on. in order too get any help you need too threaten them with a law suit and after that you have too wait 30 days and contact your lawyer again too get your deposit back. the place says dog friendly its really not the dog park has bacterial disease has well has fleas and ticks and no they do not maintain it or clean it for those parasites. if you want your gate opener too work good luck getting a new one most of them don’t work and they won’t help too fix it. the management is horrible and will not help you i can’t stress that enough, they will also talk too other tenants about your personal life has well which is not allowed. they put notices on your door everyday about something new. God forbid you have a grill because they will say you can’t have it or be able too drink outside with your friends they will call the police. for has much money has they ask for for the rent its ran like a prison system. My advice take your money else where its not worth the pain. there is a heavy population of gang members and people roaming around the apt buildings so its not really a gated community. the security is worthless and the police dept will be there every night. For service members i can’t stress enough stay away its not worth the hassle your better off living on base or finding a new apt building too live in. The apt is falling apart from termites and pest control does not maintain there traps. I know its close too base and the beach but there are better places too live. If i could put negative stars i would in a heart beat thanks for reading.

Moving here was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. It’s nice because of the dog park and the no weight limit. But the dog park is constantly infested with fleas and ticks. Dogs bark all hours of the night here and management does nothing about it. You can rarely catch the manager in her office and the maintenance workers start loud tools early in the morning. If u have an issue in your unit they take their sweet time resolving it. My neighbors had holes in their ceiling for a month for one leaky pipe. They make a mess in your home every time they do a work order.
When I moved in my rent was 1558 and 2 years later it’s now 1838 because «management has to charge for an upgraded unit even if u don’t have one» I could afford a house for this price and not have to deal with the headache of incompetence.
Parking spaces are much too small (to the point where having dings in your doors is a common occurrence), BBQ in the pool area is barely functional, no hot tub for the price, dog park is always littered with feces, workout area has broken equipment, no ac, and they are constantly painting the speed bumps (which sounds like a good thing but with as often as they do it it’s more of a pain then anything else). the gated community is nice but the remotes to open it rarely works and that goes for the garages also. I’ve changed my remotes a few times and it doesn’t help so they have bad sensors. The gate for pedestrians is locked all the time and the key they give u for the pool is supposed to open it but no one I know here has a key that actually unlocks it.

This is the worst apartment complex I ever live the place is falling apart the stuff is horrible Gaby the manager is the worst I dunno how is she able to a manager she is always harrasing and posting notice for no reasons… the place is awful and the rent is a joke all the time is way high supposedly to be 1500 and goes high until 1800 hundred for 2 bedrooms and I bath kids are not aloud to play freely unless is in the parking lot with a lot of danger and parents still get in trouble there’s a small laundry there’s no peacefully talk and get along with other tenants because you get notice been renting too many places but honestly this one is the top of worst place ever you feel imprisoned in your own small apartment for the high amount of rent you pay and poor unacceptable manager behaved and stuff members if there’s 5 stars less I will try that instead to rating they are good NOT AT ALL Suddenly we people we have to experience this situation but I will think twice for other peoples wanna rent this place just AWFUL

Where do i start?
Oh ok ill start off by saying if you move in here get ready to have notes on your door ²⁴⁄₇! and to have people walking around and snooping in your home!
and if you have any pets god for bid they take a poop and you don’t clean it up right away, get ready to pay a $ 75.00 fee for EACH pile of poop! seriously? this place is a piece of crap!
mind you ill give a little credit to the maintenance people and the office staff they are nice, but nice can only go so far!
if I’m going to pay nearly 1500.00 for an apartment with 2 bedrooms and ONE bathroom this place better have a washer and dryer hook up! but it doesn’t you have to use their washer and dryers or go to a laundry mate! plus you can ONLY use quarters for the ones at the apartments! HELLO? not everyone has quarters on them at all times! update you stuff!
and lets talk about the constant pest problem that they have!
1. Roaches 2. Maggots 3. Mice, well if you want to get rid of any of these you have to wait until Tuesday, No problem i can deal until then! but wait the pests keep coming back! FIND A NEW PEST CONTROL! obviously he sucks at his job if these problems keep coming back! I’m not a dirty person i take care of my home!
Now let me move on… whats next oh yes cabinets and drawers… well all i have to say is who ever built and installed them SUCK! my drawer has broken twice! and the cabinets don’t close all the way!
and who ever painted this place is horrible too!
Now let me tell you about the garage! its nice big enough to fit a smart car!!! we have a small two door car and we don’t even have enough room to get into the car with it being in the garage! oh and if you want to store you extra things in there like: tools, empty moving boxes, recyclables. etc. well DON’T! because well you’re not aloud to unless of course you want a note on your door that tells you that they are going to clean it up for you BUT for a FEE!
I’ve come to realize that all this place wants is peoples money! they don’t care about the residents who live here they don’t do anything to make them feel comfortable! if they don’t like you then they will pester you until your lease it up!
My lease is not up until the end of January and they are already showing my house like I’m not even here! HELLO! i still pay for this place!
ill give credit for it being a gated community that always makes me feel safe… but how about we close the gate instead of leaving it open all through the night huh? yea so much for that gated community!
I seriously feel sorry for anyone wanting to move in here. We can not wait to move out! anywhere is better than this crap hole!
i will say this! Ocean Breeze Village is actually well located! you can hope on the 5 or drive 5 seconds down to down town that’s probably the best thing i have liked since living here.
You know i might have actually considered staying if they apartments would provide things like: grass for people with a back yard, or even a proper fence. but no you have to buy those things your self on top of the 1500.00 that you already pay!
Oh and another thing! if you don’t mind your rent going up and up constantly or if you don’t mind people badgering you at all then maybe this is just the place you you!
i for one don’t! So good luck Ocean Breeze Village! You have managed to loose yet another renter!
**One more thing! if you are wanting to ever get ahold of the office staff well good luck! because they are never there! there is always a sign posted on the door that says off in a meeting be back at 11:30… yea well i came back at a 11:30 and guess what! NO ONE WAS THERE i waited until 12:30 and yet still no one! Get some new staff who actually do their job!!***

This is a great place to stay. The team is there to help anyway they can. The complex is not to big, to me that is a great thing. Most of my neighbor’s are friendly. There is a nice pool great for gathering with friends you can even watch TV pool side.
The townhouses have my favorite feature a second door in the Jr. Master Room. This is great!!! If you have a roommate like me it gives them the fill of their own space with their own entry.
Since I don’t have pets it is my only draw back. I feel like to many big dogs.
Over all this is a great place to live.

This community is gated, accepts dog (real dogs, not that «up to 25 pounds» bull that a lot of places pull), have a «dog park» on-​site, have back yards in select units (if you are on the left side of the complex you get a really pretty view of the canyon), and make genuine efforts to create a sense of community (plan cute little get togethers like «movie night» and holiday get togethers with activities good for kid’s and families) The pool/​barbeque/​lay out area is secluded, and really well kept. They have a landscaping team available to you weekly if your yard needs some attention. They have a 24 hour gym with all the basics you would need for a standard work out (and also a flat screen;) Because they are a pet friendly community there is barking, and the window fixtures are not new so it can sound like someone else’s dog is literally in your room and barking at you. If you are experiencing more noise pollution than you can handle, call the office and they will take care of it for you. Parking is a issue. Each unit gets one garage spot and one uncovered parking spot. Visitors are expected to park outside the gate. Take the tow signs seriously, you will get towed if you don’t have a rancho del oro parking sticker. I’ve seen it many times. Once when a neighbor was parked in front of his own garage for about 3 minutes (not being particularly fond of this neighbor, i found it hilarious). The complex is very long and if you live at the end of it, like i do, your asking your visitors to take a lengthy walk to get there, i usually pick them up at the gate, or park on the street myself and have my guests park in the garage. Jerusalem Crickets or «potato bugs» make an appearance around the complex during the fall. If you see too many of them lurking around, notify the office and they will have pest control deal with this issue. Don’t mess with the crickets, they are aggressive and are highly likely to bite you.
