Lake Bambi RV Park

A greatmobile home park in Florida for those who appreciate peaceful living and outdoor scenery.

Update edit: Island Communities was given 4 months to rectify a problem THEY caused and now that I'm sharing with the world what they did to my mother, suddenly they want to to make things right. I urge people to check them out with the BBB and/or Trust Pilot.
Original Post:I want to Know what you're getting in to.
I'm writing this review to save anyone I can from experiencing what I have been through with Island Communities. But to fully appreciate the enormity of the problem, you first have to understand the Island Communities business model.
Island Communities is akin to a corporate raider. They search out run down mobile home parks and buy them without honoring current lease agreements. They raise the rent, sometimes doubling, and also tack on fees that are normally covered by the rent - such as lawn care, grounds maintenance, community lighting etc.
They change to rent payment system to where you cannot possibly pay onsite. No checks, cash or credit cards. You either have to go to Walmart with your bill in hand or give them access to your checking account. And in either case, you have to pay a $4.50 service fee on top of your rent.
And forget about trying to speak with someone if your bill is screwed up. They overcharged my mother for six months for utility bills that she paid directly to the utility companies. And when she tried month after month unsuccessfully to get them removed, she eventually had to get me involved because the office "manager" has no authority to make changes. I eventually had to move my mom elsewhere because Island Communities had charged my mom over $650 in double billing for utilities and no one would address the problem.
My mom is now MUCH happier elsewhere. Unfortunately, many residents cannot afford to move because the reputation of Island Communities is sooo bad that buyers won't even LOOK at your home - even at a less than market price. So you're stuck with Slumlord Millionaire.
Take the time to ask a few residents what they think before buying. And don't fall for the fake positive posts.

They keep the property clean

ISLAND COMMUNITIES IS AWFUL. New owners are absolutely horrible. Rent went from $400 to now $900 even though my grandmother has lived there for over 20 years and owns the trailer on the lot. Place is not kept up with at all. Huge sinkhole in the middle of the road, street lights don't work, clubhouse was torn down, etc. They charge on the rent for "amenities and street lights", but there's no amenities and the street lights don't turn on. The woman that owns it and that you speak to for questions is extremely rude and unprofessional. This place used to be nice until the new owners took over. Stay away!!
