Cayce Cove - Lease by the Bedroom, cayce-sc

If you’re wondering how they manage the property, this is how the pool has looked for months now. I’ve lived here since 2023 and the pool has only been open a few months this entire time, and currently won’t be open again this year. There are several other housing options in this price range I definitely recommend over this place (for example: The Radley, The Roost, 21 Oaks). This is just one example of a series of unfortunate incidents stemming from their mismanagement, others include: - In October they LET THE ELECTRICITY GET CUT OFF AND MANY TENANTS GROCERIES SPOILED! - Over the summer especially is trash NEVER picked up on time, and it got to the point last year it was attracting stray animals and smelled like rotten food. (photo of the trash is from June 2025) - They’ll schedule quarterly inspections during midterms w/out the ability to make appts and then have the nerve to tell students (majority of their tenants) to go somewhere else to take their online exams. - CONSTANT SHUTTLE DISRUPTIONS- and then without reimbursement for ubers most of the time. This has improved in recent months with their new driver, but it was an issue consistently for 2 years. - Our ex-roommate was charged for damages that STILL have not been even addressed almost a year later- they said it was up to us to keep hounding them if we wanted them fixed in a timely manner.

You're paying almost $900 for a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment, while four-bedroom, two-bath units are around $700 per person—and that doesn't even include the amenities you're supposedly paying for. The pool doesn't work. If they tell you it's open, they're lying. It hasn't been open at all. The tanning room and the room they advertise in the office are never open either. The grass hasn't been cut all summer. My apartment isn't in good enough condition to justify the price. I'm pretty sure there's mold in the air vents, and there are damages left behind by previous residents that never got fixed. Make sure you take pictures of everything and submit them before you move in, because you'll get charged for pre-existing damage, and they still won't fix it. They may even forget they already charged you for it. The furniture is worn out, they don't replace it. They will charge u on move out day for it. Even though they don't provide many of the amenities they advertise, they still conduct apartment inspections. They expect residents to meet their standards while failing to meet their own. They literally send out a list. They inspect apartments about four times a year, and the inspections are scheduled entirely on their terms, with no flexibility. Even if you have an online class, an exam, or another commitment where you can't be interrupted, there are no exceptions. Right now, instead of focusing on improving the community and addressing residents' concerns, they're conducting yet another inspection.

Do not live here under any circumstances. Late fees for rent when it’s been paid already, a pool that looks like shreks swamp for half of the year, police constantly patrolling and being called for utter chaos, while paying more than many other apartments while having absolutely zero draw for night life or value on game day, pick your poison on where to live but my god don’t let it be here it’s the most unprofessional circus I’ve ever seen.

This place can't keep the pool open or your AC running. Don't ask questions either. They'll give yu a vague answer and then blast a rude email. The only thing Cayce Cove can give you is a room for cheap rent. Don't be fooled by their tours.

I lived at cayce cove last year and it was a horrible experience. The apartment was gross and the shuttle was never on time and constantly shut down, and half the amenities were not even able to be used until two months before I moved out, but it was cheap so this all was mostly excusable. The people who work there, however, are miserable. They were not at all helpful with anything ever, did not respond to maintenance calls in a timely manner, and were just snotty and short about everything. I tried to sublease my apartment over the summer and I was told that I could do so but I needed to pay $400 to transfer the lease which was annoying but whatever. I then was told not even a day later when I had everything together and was going in to sign the papers that I could not sublease unless the person was signing on for the following full year. And, because this place is a piece of crap, no one actually wanted to live there past the summer. When I confronted the office about this, they confirmed yes in fact this was not in the lease or anywhere in writing it was just something they did and that they “weren’t a hotel and didn’t want to lose money over subleasing”. I’m still confused as to how they’d lose money in that situation, but it is what it is. Highly highly would recommend NOT living here.
