My brother Orville and I had the opportunity to live the Oasis at Cypress woods this year. The…read moreoverall experience was incredible. This experience started from day one when we walked through the door of the leasing department. Both leasing consultants greeted us friendly and genuine and made sure they were their top priority when looking for places in Fort Myers. After that initial consultation, my brother Orville and I decided to go on a guided tour to see the property. Once we completed the tour, we asked the leasing consultant when we had the opportunity to move in. The leasing consultants told us that we had the opportunity to move in that day or later that week. My brother Orville decided that we would move in later in the week. Moving here and staying here was one of the best decisions that both of us made. We both liked that this place had a saltwater pool and an excellent fitness facility. The most significant draw factor for Orville and me moving in was the amenities and the close to the highway, bars, restaurants, and schools to Oasis at Cypress woods. If Orville and I didn't have to leave because of job situations, we would love to both call home for the rest of our lives. This place was an incredible place to live. Orville still thinks this place is unmatched by any other apartment complex in the United States. If you are in Fort Myers would recommend that you would stop by and ask for a guided tour from the leasing consultants.

Proceed with caution when renting from this property management group. I lived in one of their…read moreunits for over two years, took great care of the property, and left it in spotless condition. Always paid rent on time! During my tenancy, I experienced ongoing cockroach issues that appeared to come from a neighboring unit. Despite repeated extermination efforts, the problem was never fully resolved. Due to a work transfer out of state, I had to terminate my lease four months early. I was charged $4,109 (two months' rent), even though the unit was re-rented within two weeks. Because I signed an early termination agreement, management declined to negotiate the charges or consider the unresolved pest issues. They also would not offer a payment plan and indicated the balance could be sent to collections. Prospective renters should carefully review lease terms and understand policies regarding early termination and maintenance issues before signing. They will also tow cars without a prior notification even though you are REQUIRED to have sticker issued by them. RENTER BEWARE!!!!! Read all reviews thoroughly before signing!

Management here is top notch! We can't say enough about…read moreManager Carolann and staff for all they have done for us. During our visit from NY, we stopped in the rental office at least three times in two days with no appointment. The staff never hesitated to answer multiple questions. One night Carolann remained beyond her office hours to give us yet a third tour of the property with alternate apartment sites. On move-in day she helped ease me into our new space, with time given even to our dog. Living very close to a construction area during the final phase, staff stopped by regularly to make sure we were happy and comfortable, which we were. I must especially thank her for her time early on. One month into the lease, my business demanded an almost immediate return to NY. She responded to my call the same day, stopping by the following morning to discuss options in case we needed to break our lease. I was able to resolve the issue in NY and was grateful to make the decision to remain with peace of mind, thanks to her kindness. Thank you all Colonial Commons Staff for a beautiful living environment. See you at the pool!

They flooded my first unit and expected me to still stay there with water damage everywhere, holes in the walls, fans airing the unit out.

Second unit they moved me into I was not allowed a walk through unit, and the whole unit smelled of cigarette smoke.

The staff are super friendly and always respond timely. Arelis was absolutely amazing at her customer service. She was so professional yet made us feel like family from the point of contact. Arelis kept us up to date on the application process. She expedited us moving in quickly to meet our needs all The Ashlar grounds and buildings are super clean. I'd highly recommend. Maintenance requests are addressed in a timely manner. I love the Valet garbage collection service - I no longer have to take my trash out to the dumpster, this is very convenient. In addition to the above: the pool, gym, tennis, clubhouse, dog parks (one for littles - one for bigs), did I also mention the lake size water fountain plus bbq area make this property the one that TOPS ALL THE REST! Thank you Arelis @AshlarApartments. You are the BEST!!! I love it here.

The Luxur room for Amazon packages has no lock, anyone can make off with all the packages if they wanted to, they've got one security camera to record it I guess. The security gates seem to be left open quite often, when I called to complain because I was getting saleman at my door the office lady told me it was cause we kept hitting the gate, I've never hit the gatte lol. One of the fountains in the lake stopped working about 6 months ago and I guess won't be getting fixed. A feral population of cats that roam all over and leave the constant smell or urine in the hallways. My kitchen sink started overflowing even though I wasn't running water. The outer pipe had an issue that needed a plumber but they let it flow from Saturday till the plumber finally came on Monday, we had to bail it out manually every few hours so it wouldn't flood the floor. Folks leave the trash can outside of their door ongoing and usually overflowing. The cats get into it and leaves a huge mess. Loud kids and parties about 6 nights out of the week. Its really gone downhill, just waiting for my lease to end so I can escape. Think twice about renting here.
