Beachcomber Realty Sally Hardman Overpriced, unfair, crazy landlord Internet
I’ll make this short and sweet. The landlord over prices her properties (check other properties first to get an idea for the area). She's money hungry. She has no regards for anyone or anything and will do whatever she can to take your money. We have lived in one of her properties for 2 yrs now and have always paid the rent on time. We have been nothing short of perfect tenants. There was some kind of water leak that started 5 months ago that was causing our water bill to increase by 200$ a month. She did nothing to find and resolve the issue. Now our water bill is 1000$ and we are getting ready to move out. Still she insists it isn’t her problem. She will not fix this problem (probably a broken pipe under the house) nor has she been willing to fix anything in this house since we moved in. Do yourself a favor and avoid Beachcombers realty in Saint Simons Georgia. We were actually forewarned but insisted on being open minded. Bad idea.

I am disappointed and surprised by this report. I do own the home and have rented it for the past two years to the tenants - three young men on the lease. I have had 3 plumbers at the house at a cost of nearly $3,000 trying to find and resolve any possible plumbing issues. I have receipts and documentation on file showing that the water meter does not show any flow when water is turned off in the house and a letter that was submitted to the water department by Ace Plumbing showing that there is no water leak at the home. I even had Waterworks replace the sewer (which would not affect the water bill.) I will be happy to share this with anyone who is interested.
The tenants have paid on time with the exception of this month, and I am sorry that they are now unhappy with the home. The home is a 4 BR home priced at $100 per month more than a 3 BR home rented on the same street. They did renew the annual lease at the same monthly rental fee for a 2nd year which I doubt they would have done if they found the home to be so overpriced.
In addition to the water bill, the tenants reported one additional issue - an electrical outlet problem, and Thaw Electric was immediately called for a service repair. I have not been advised of any other problems so am unaware of any other items that need repair. This appears to be an attempt to get out of paying financial obligations that come with adulthood. We have many positive customer support reviews on file that are open for review, and this is our first negative report to date.
