I had the opportunity to tour the apartment several times. My Leasing agent, Giselle did an excellent job with providing me with all information which guided my decision and I moved into a a very clean 1 bedroom apartment. The Updater App was also very helpful in helping me set up FPL and others.

This was the first place that came up in my Google search before relocating to Fort Myers from Alabama—and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The team has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and it truly feels like home. The location is also incredibly convenient, with easy access to shopping and dining.

The Retreat at Vista Lake is a quiet place to live. Although, my initial move in day was kinda bland. The agent who gave me my keys didn't feel like she wanted to be at work that day. But besides that, its an okay community.
