The Hampton Isles

DO. NOT. LIVE. HERE. This complex is run by the most incompetent group of people I have ever had the displeasure of working with. To start, we were approved by the landlord to move into our unit about 5 day after application. The HOA is entitled to 30 days for approval, but it took them 32 days to get back to us. They held up our approval bc the unit had a satellite dish in the back patio they required the landlord to remove (nothing to do with us, the tenants). When we moved in we discovered every other unit has a satellite dish, which you are legally entitled to in the state of Florida by law. Then we were required to do an “interview” with the HOA, since we were moving from out of state we requested the reasonable accommodation of this being a phone or video call to which we were denied. We were required to fly in from out of state to complete this and if we did not do it on a specific day they would cancel our application after wasting 32 days of our time. We fly in do the interview at the only available time- 4 pm on a Thursday, and then we are given a paper we must bring to the management office to “notarize”(30 min away) and the kicker? The office closes at 4 pm on Thursdays. We would not be let in to the gate without this paper so we had to rearrange our flight out of state to retrieve our belongings to move in. After we moved our flight, got the paper signed on Friday and drove 15 hrs from out of state in our Uhaul (Saturday)we were told we had a few hours to get our belongings and would have to be gone by 6 pm, and not allowed back into the complex on Sundays. We would have been done by then had we not been required to stay an extra day to have a letter “notarized” by the management company. Now this letter was a completely illegal notarization, it was signed as if I -the tenant- was the head of the HOA. My name was no where on this paper and the HOA presidents whose name was on the paper was not present. This is HIGHLY ILLEGAL and completely disregards the intended purpose of notarization in the first place (I reported to the notary board through the governors office as I urge anyone with the same issue to do). As far as the unit itself we had mold issues, leaks, broken appliances and our AC went out in the middle of July for 3 weeks. We finally decided enough was enough and moved out. We had many issues with the gate not letting us in with moving vans bc it was 11am Sunday (perfectly reasonable day to move out) and the next time it was 6:50 pm on Wednesday(we had one table to load and would then be gone). If you are a working professional with a busy schedule they will make it a nightmare to move in/out, we were told to return our already purchased Uhaul and CALL OUT OF WORK in order to move at their specific times. We ended up parking our Uhaul across the street and one by one loaded our large furniture into my crossover vehicle and drove it out of the complex with the hatch open and then loaded into the Uhaul on the side of the busy road- the complex forced us into an extremely dangerous situation just so we could be out on time and not incur any additional fees for not having our belongings moved out on time. The only upside of this complex is the neighbors around us were very kind/courteous and we had no issues other than the landlord/HOA/management/gate. These were our issues and you can see by the loads of other terrible reviews this place is awful. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand and avoided this place like the plague. There are tons of other reasonable places to live, the new place we are in now made moving in/applying a breeze. Again DO NOT LIVE/RENT/BUY HERE!!!!!!

ehhh it's ight

Great quiet community to live, only issue is the HOA has too much power, maintenance could use a little more care, two assigned parking spots per unit, Guest parking is first come , very limited but overall great place to live

If I could leave 0 stars I would. The HOA members all need to be voted out. They’re rude and very disrespectful. Nerisse is an old entitled hag that feels as though she should have special privileges. She will literally sit and monitor the gates entry and exit points to see if the kids are going to ride their bikes through the gates. Heather, another miserable HOA board member who resembles the demon from hell.

Terrible place to live. HOA members are actual monsters. No heart for anything, extremely rude and disrespectful at all times. Too many stupid rules and restrictions. Parking sucks and there is none. None of the guards speak English and will let anyone in through the gate. Very annoying children in the neighborhood that are always unsupervised, they draw markers and chalk all over the trees and sidewalk, they've come into my patio many times. Not to mention the prices of these homes are ridiculous. Really there is nothing good about living here. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I went to see an open house to buy and they wouldn't let me in because there was no parking available

Complete garbage. HOA are horrible. They want to know every move you make. Don’t move here.

Horrible HOA.  If you get on the wrong side of the board members it is over for you. EVERYTHING  is a violation.  It seems as though they hate kids.  Parking is a major issue.  It is like living in a beautiful prison.  Even when you mind your own business they constantly mind your business too.  Horrible place to live because of the HOA board members.

The guy on the gate today December 5 2021 is UNPROFESSIONAL. He never call the resident to open the gate door, Is not the first time. Also he talk me with bad words , MOVE YOUR CAR NOW!! Again is UNPROFESSIONAL. Berry bad administration and berry bad security company.
