Terrible customer service.
Terrible customer service. They accepted my payment but are still giving me issues with my name. It's frustrating to have my payment go through successfully but still have to deal with unnecessary complications and poor customer service to get things resolved.

Worst company and board members.
Worst company and board members. We get harassed by a board member who thinks they have the right to tell us how often to drive our vehicle! They complained and called a towing company to place a violation stating no storage or inoperable, just because we parked where THEY think we shouldn’t! The president and treasurer are horrible!
Worst HOA Experience.
Worst HOA Experience. The gutters haven’t been cleaned, and now it’s leaking through the bump-out in the back. I can’t get the roof fixed even after putting in a request. They don’t do the job right. Why does this keep happening? I have called, and they have come out twice, saying it’s fixed. But my roof still leaks.
Bull Point Plantation
Beaufort, South Carolina
Management Co.: Atlantic States Management | An Associa CompanyProspective buyers: Do your homework on Bull Point Plantation POA.
Prospective buyers: Do your homework on Bull Point Plantation POA. My wife and I owned a home at Bull Point Plantation in Beaufort County, South Carolina, from June 2023 until July 2026. The natural setting is beautiful. My experience with the POA’s governance was not. During our ownership, I experienced a board that did not adequately respond to owners or explain its decisions, inconsistent application of covenants and architectural rules, and inadequate financial transparency. I was particularly concerned about the absence of an audit and reliable financial reporting and reserve planning. I ultimately filed an action in magistrate court seeking to compel the board to perform an audit. Based on my experience, I would not buy in Bull Point again. My concerns include the board’s accountability to homeowners and the financial uncertainty that inadequate reporting and reserve planning can create, including the potential for special assessments. I’m sharing this so prospective buyers can ask questions before closing. Request the most recent audited financial statements, budgets, reserve study, board minutes and assessment history. Ask how architectural decisions are reviewed and appealed. Speak privately with current and former owners, not just the listing agent. Bull Point’s setting may be attractive, but prospective buyers should investigate the governance as carefully as they inspect the house.

They are the mafia and use Bluestone Management Company to do their dirty work.
They are the mafia and use Bluestone Management Company to do their dirty work. They allow rentals to their friends beyond the rental cap. They don’t maintain any meaningful minutes. They lie about the bylaws, and if I show them the actual bylaw, they stop responding. They are pure scum.
Penthouse Prices with Storage Unit Service.
Penthouse Prices with Storage Unit Service. 1. Financial management: The property manager and regional supervisor fumble to find key metrics, have no idea what you are talking about most of the time at budget time, and treat our money like a kid would treat their parents’ credit card with no limit. 2. Customer service: I often wonder about the company culture. They never smile and act as if we work for them. 3. Elections: They are terrible, and our community has fewer than 1,000 homes! From notifications and communication to ensuring members have access to the ballot packages that often never come, “corporate” says they cannot leave documents and envelopes for homeowners after hours. No quorum and a rollover board are advantages to them, so they can keep milking our community under an inexperienced, high-turnover board. They are clearly financially benefiting and conflicted; it should be illegal!
Aperion is deceitful, manipulative, and unprofessional.
Aperion is deceitful, manipulative, and unprofessional. Aperion treats homeowners as a revenue stream, not clients, and every fine and billable hour is another line on their invoice. They count on volunteer boards not reading their own documents, and when a director does, Aperion goes after the director instead of fixing the problem. If you care about your community’s money or your neighbors, hire someone else.
Where the American Dream Goes to Die and Gets Replaced by the American Nightmare!
Where the American Dream Goes to Die and Gets Replaced by the American Nightmare! Vote math for special assessments and elections never reconciles. Our most expensive project ever, re-roofing the whole community, had a ballot with no option to “reject” and two options for “in favor” at different price points. The results from that vote consisted of 248 ballots. The results for those ballots were: No: 0 Yes ($6,500/unit): 179 Yes ($6,500/unit + $4.4M loan): 98 The total is 277 (+29 more than ballots). Which should not surprise anyone, given that the board officers in charge of that fiasco also got more votes than ballots in our election. From 151 ballots: Gunn: 187 (+36) votes Huskey: 175 (+24) votes McCarthy: 163 (+12) votes Cumulative voting is banned in the declarations. Ever since I’ve been attending board meetings, I’ve yet to see an honest vote. My reward for enlightening the community: a lawsuit spanning 2 years and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, which they voluntarily dismissed on the eve of trial when “evidence” would fall under scrutiny. So, if you’re considering buying within this HOA, don’t just walk away. RUN away as fast as your feet will take you.

We wound up with SBB because SBC sold themselves to them.
We wound up with SBB because SBC sold themselves to them. We wound up with SBC because Chapparal sold themselves to them, and on and on. SBB has been in place here since the first of the year and have already made many people mad with the invention of their own rules for landscaping, etc. They have also already raised our assessment rate to $700 for next year. The only thing they do is pay for trash, streetlights, and insurance for a playground no one uses. I am currently at war with them over an inspector who one day dinged me for tall grass and “many tall weeds.” The grass was all new and had just been placed two weeks before, with no weeds anywhere. They also dinged me for having a row of oleander bushes between my drive and the next-door driveway. Next door are renters, the worst people ever. Since I cannot place a fence there, the bushes are the next best thing. The inspectors want them cut. There are no definitive rules for bushes, nothing about height, width, or shape. Same goes for bushes in front of the house, which now they want below the window, which is only one foot from the ground. I consider myself a reasonable person and capable of making good decisions and do not need someone else to tell me what to do.
