swarmer termites

If you enjoy living with termites, Marbella is the place for you! There have been dozens of winged termites falling from the vent in my ceiling bedroom onto my bed. I do not enjoy sleeping with termites. I walked into the leasing office almost 2 weeks ago (9/23) to request pest control. Micah (front desk lady) said she'd get back to me on Mon, latest Tues (9/26 or 9/27). She mentioned that the leasing building had a significant termite outbreak only a week ago and multiple units, in different buildings, had filed termite complaints. By Tuesday (9/27) I hear nothing, so I call. Micah says pest control never got back to her. I call again later that day, stressing that the termite issue is urgent (since they began spreading into the bathroom). Micah responds, "Oh wait... actually they did email us back last night." (Very interesting she found the email after I had to continuously ask her to expedite the issue...). Earliest they can get pest control to do an *inspection* (not even treatment) is next Thurs (9/29). The pest control agent said there are termite colonies with a "king" and "queen" in the ceiling vents. He informs me that the winged termites are sexually mature termites called "swarmers" or "alates." ***These reproductive termites leave their existing colony to PROCREATE, shed their wings, and form NEW COLONIES. I've seen dozens of swarmers per day. On average, it takes 4-5 years for a termite colony to develop swarmers. That means termites have been infesting Marbella Apartment Homes for the last several years, likely longer... Please, for your own health, DO NOT choose to live here.*** The earliest they can do the treatment is Thur (10/6). Meaning, I will have cohabitated with proliferating termites for nearly TWO WEEKS. Even still, reproductive termites can continue to swarm the same location for 3-4 weeks after chemical application is applied (www.turnerpest.com). Meaning, I will be living with termites for 6-8 weeks. I should NOT pay $3,125 in rent/mo to live like this for months on end. I should NOT have to spend hours calling/emailing/walking to the leasing office just to get Marbella staff to do the bare minimum. I should NOT have to spend hours looking up my lease rights and speaking with an attorney to find out I am being treated unfairly by Marbella Apartment Homes... One positive is that Rafael the maintenance man is very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, I do not see the positives outweighing the negatives. I STRONGLY recommend you seek housing elsewhere. I am currently trying to break my lease, so I may leave. Please learn from my mistakes. Below, I've attached a picture of the termites I've found in my room today alone (10/5/22).

Brand new fridge!

We have been living at the Marbella Apartment Homes for about 5 years. Yesterday our fridge broke and we issued a maintenance ticket. Today Rafael came over and brought us a brand new fridge! He was very polite, cordial, and worked very quickly to install our brand new fridge. Not to forget Nayely at the leasing office has been extremely helpful with our request to rent a garage. Thank you Rafael and Nayely!!!

We moved my Father in Law into Marbella last January, after we had a great experience with Rachael showing us the property.

Sommerset La Costa - First floor homes have a wood-style flooring throughout. (High quality carpets in bedrooms.)  Very modern and so easy to keep clean!

Eleonor is caring, community focused, and has a genuine desire to ensure all residents feel welcomed and cared for. She hosts regular community events, sends monthly updates regarding the property, and always makes herself available when needed. Eleonor truly makes Somerset a more enjoyable place to live.

Moving from Temecula Valley to Carlsbad, waiting for our house to close was stressful enough as it…read moreis, now imagine trying to find a place to live and store your stuff for almost 3 weeks. The seller of the house we wanted was back and forth on us for months so I didn't even know if we would get the house. This is when I looked for month-to-month renting options nearby. I wanted a place near where we're planning to move so that I won't have to move my kids from their schools again. It was already stressful enough they had to transfer into a new school a month after it started, so I found this place. Jennifer, the Community Manager here, got back to me immediately, sent me an email and gave me the options they had available. She was responsive, sweet, and accurate with all the details I needed. I reached out to a few other places where the community managers either took weeks to get back to me or didn't seem too thrilled when I asked for a tour of the apartment. Jennifer offered the tour for me and got right to it when I arrived to look at the place. We moved from a 6-bedroom house into a 2-bedroom condo here, but we only needed it for 17 days, so I couldn't complain. I didn't even bother unpacking a lot of my stuff. The place is clean, updated, washer and dryer in the unit, plenty of storage space in the corner unit, and the place was very well maintained. Everyone we met here were really nice, offered help and one lady even came by and gave us a bottle of water while we were moving to welcome us to the neighborhood. I wished we got to stay longer and really enjoy this place, but now I'm just a few blocks away anyway. We ended up getting the house that the lady was back and forth on for 3 months, we got to take our time to move out since we had the place for a month, and even then, Jennifer remained kind and helpful through it all. You don't have to rent this place month to month like I did, but if you ever need an apartment in La Costa, I would definitely recommend this place. Thanks again for helping us with our transition into Carlsbad, a great one.

I have rented from my fair share of apartments in San Diego and I have to say that my stay at San…read moreKatrina has been amazing. Linda has always been timely and so nice every time I have had to contact her with an issue or question! The neighbors are incredibly nice and (if you have a dog) get to know your pup's name quickly and always greets them like family! The location couldn't be better either. A short walk to the Village for dinner, shopping, farmers markets and more! An even shorter walk to the beach and the sidewalk overlooking the beach is a beautiful place to walk your dogs! I can even see a tiny peep of the ocean from my balcony! Hummingbirds, butterflies and woodpeckers?! fly around all the green shrubbery that makes this apartment complex look like a tropical paradise. My only complaints are the noise of the train (not San Katrina's fault), and that their are no washer and dryers in the units. Although there is a lovely laundry facility on site that is always clean. But every apartment has its pros and cons and in this case the Pros out weigh the Cons by a landslide.

After inspecting our place - our security deposit was returned in full. Ms. Linda is a very pleasant manager of the property. She stays on top of things and you don't need to ask for anything more than once. The complex is clean and well maintained. It is close to the rail tracks, but that how it goes anywhere in the village if you want to be 1-2 block from the most gorgeous beach. Location is absolutely unbeatable. Prices are competitive. We would strongly recommend the complex.
