Decent place. Friendly people too nosey with lots of rumors but it happens. I am with a family member and i also have another reason that qualifies me at my age here but i get looked at like an alien and followed around by the security guard and i have to go to the gate to let someone in. Lot rent is over priced but it is a nice community. The guy at the pool was nasty with me and my friend. All we did is walk in and sit down. They seem to stare at my black friend like a criminal but it could be due to age so who knows. Many people are vacating and selling due to the lot rent and rudeness of the front office.
My mother lives here and its nice, quiet and very well maintained. Neighbors and people around are very nice. Even if my mother is not social.
Stay away from this place! The parent company, ELS, must want mean, non sociable hardasses in the office because no matter who it is, they are extremely rude.
Lot rents are way to pricey...way to many snooty, nosey neighbors...if you like being harassed by office management...this is the place for you !!... What a joke !
Bad park unprofessional, outdated old trailers, and scam park lot payments $900.00 a month for a small lot and lots of rules and regulations that are unnecessary and unfriendly place. Do not buy or rent in this park its not worth putting up with the rude and cheap .
TREAT ME LIKE FAMILY .WHEN I CALL. CHRITINA WAS LIKE AN OLD FRIEND .MADE ME FEEL AT HOME. I HAVE A STRESSFUL JOB IN OHIO..SELL USED CARS ..YES ..IRON SALESMEN..FOR 38 YEARS..2 POOLS..WORK OUT ROOM..CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN. GOD MADE THIS RELAXING PLACE
They have a gated community and two pools very pleasant and feel safe!
I don’t understand why it’s so hard for the staff here to pick up the phone. I’ve called so many times over my gate code not working (each time on a weekday) and they never answer. This has been an enourmous inconvenience every time i have a guest i have to go all the way to the gate. Also been threatened to have my car towed multiple times when no one has ever took the time to tell us there’s overflow parking, which we would’ve never found considering the lack of signs.
Not so much that I dislike but the office employees are not very friendly theyre not very helpful and finding your way around in a big place like that they dont offer park maps they dont like visitors just not a comfortable situation
Renting short term....love it
Its a great place to live.
I come here occasionally for work and it seems quiet. Getting in the gate can sometimes be challenging..
Safe place to live
Really nice park, great pool and residents all seemed nice.
Lovely too!
Its a great place to be. Friendly people and quiet settings.
Very nice place - had a great time
This place is huge with over seven hundred mobile homes or what they call manufactured homes. Mostly all double wides and if you buy one in there I hope youre financially secure because rents are very high
This place is very nice and woke app. The only thing is one of the security guards always follows me around when Im driving. Other than that very nice place I visit here often
Staff is new. NOT easy to work with
Would love to live in the park homes are beautiful BUT THE PARK IS WAY OVER PRICE
Bucaneer Estates is a very secure and very nice mobile park. Its 55 and over but you can have anyone over 40 there with you. Nice lake also!!
The monthly fee is the reason why most people do not want to move here. In 15 months rent has increased 3 times.ELS is a corrupt company and does not do what they are responsible for, office staff are rude, has had 3 managers in 15 months.
Stayed with my grandma during a recent visit. Nice pools and other amenties for the retirement community that lives here.
Park manager Antoinnette has always been extremely helpful when I’ve had any concerns or questions. Buccaneer Estates Is a wonderful place offering lots of amenities for the residents
The on-site management team works hard to make this the great place it is! The people who live here, me included, are pretty nice too.
Moved in here a year ago and have had problems ever since. Was lied to by manager about the house I purchased and then she and everyone who worked here except 2 people were fired the beginning of November. The security here is terrible. The bars at the front and back gates are constantly being broken and ELS wont give us a guard at the front gate like we have requested. The rent here is one of the highest in the area and we dont have very good amenities like the other parks do. So many people want to leave here it isnt funny. I wish I hadnt bought here.
We live here and we love it! Beautiful property, nice for residents to take walks, ride bikes, walk the dogs.
Homes are too close & very little vegetation. Must cost a fortune to keep cool in the summer.
EDIT: NOT a 55plus community. Holy cow its monthly fees are the most i have ever seen by hundreds. Homes here sell for often less than 10k because the monthly fees are 800$. Been here 11 years. Watchout for fake reviews shilling this place. People are nice though.
I had left a positive review earlier, but I had the pleasure of meeting one of the Board members today. Didnt catch his name as he shook his finger at me because I followed another vehicle through the gate. I am staying here short time until the purchase of my house goes through, am quite thankful that I have a very short time left. If you decide to stay here please remember to bring your gate card; otherwise you too might have a wonderful welcome like I did. Others that I have met have been quite nice, but one bad apple can leave a very sour taste in your mouth. I thanked him for his hospitality.
Very nice and clean place quite and friendlt people and love it
Clean, well ran park
What security my bike was stolen and house was almost broken in rent too high trying to get out of here
Park is very clean and managed correctly. Staff easy to work with.
Love living here. Great neighbors and friendly atmosphere. Pools are great. ESL the community owners need to hire a better lawn company to do the mowing. Otherwise its great. Supermarket &, Restaurants minutes from the Community.
Over priced garage!! My mother and grandmother live here and the take advantage of the owners but give privileges to the renters and drug dealers! Mother is out and grandma will be in one month! I hate this place. The office people are absolutely no help!
THEY must be kidding? HIGH monthly fees! THEIR signs say video surveillance and radar speed check...NOT SO!
Nice senior living at reasonable rates.
Antonette and her staff are excellent to work with the park is a wonderful place with lots of activities great place to live
This place is where I went to vote. Very nice place for seniors to live also.
Dont enforce rules and regulations.
Nice play to go and wait for death.
Because it is very clean and well kept
Love the grounds, perfect for retired family. Management couldn’t be more helpful!
Liked it so much we bought a house!
Just bought a home here. Everyone is respectful & friendly. Kind it odd everyone leaves their blinds open for everyone to see inside. Lol
Well kept grounds. Good security. Very friendly tenants.
This is a 55 or older gated community it has a pool and a sauna and its reasonably priced
Good place to live. Lot rent is a little high for this area. Park employees dont leave you alone
This is a very nice over 55 Mobile Home Park. It is a gated community and has lots of activities to keep you busy every day.
Nice trailer park if thats your thing
Nice place very high lot rent
Great Place for many reasons.
I have been a resident of Buccaneer Estates for going on 5 years this coming March and I have to say the first 3 years I was fully employed and once I retired and got to see more of the activities here and the people you have to come and see this place to believe it It is an awesome place to live the people are Dynamite and programs are awesome
Terrible community with awful people. Neighbors are nosy, rude & in everyone’s business . They also have an online website where all the neighbors go and bully each other like teenagers... even posting videos and pictures of peoples properties In an effort to embarrass and harass each other . My mother lived here and she basically had to give her home away to sell it.. her neighbors down the street would stop and stare in her windows if they were open, she never had any privacy . Also while taking care of my mothers home & pets while she was hospitalized I forgot her gate card and was stopped by “residents” at the front gate and they called the POLICE ON ME. Even though I was in my mothers car... they (civilians) demanded to see my ID and told the police I was burglarizing their community which ... is an over priced trailer park down the street from sun coast estates with a bunch of snobs that think they live in the Taj Mahal . Don’t move here if you want to have a life, privacy or guests .On second thought, just don’t move here at all.
A quiet retreat in North Fort Myers. 55+ gated community, featuring 2 club houses, 2 pools, excersise facilities and a unique Pirate flare.
1st get it straight over priced we pay tax pass on fee for property we dont own. Certain people are allowed to do were others arent. It is not 55 and older we have 40 year olds and we have children that are 24/7 in the pool. Some people want to make a difference but its not gonna happen we are going to sell in less than yearPlace sucks.
Really great place. People are awesome. Very helpful. Thanks
Im in love w/ this condo. Will buy sometime in there
Glad I moved out. Price to stay is outrageous
This community is really bad. The prices are very high and the rules are the worst I have seen. Not a place I would reccomend at all.
Because its clean and well maintained and I have accounts in there while I go and we weed wac and blow and spray for weeds and a lot of people are friends and very kind
Clean curb appeal!
Lovely people, but extremely OVER Priced. You can rent a 3bedroom home in Cape for the same amount of their lot rent. They need to think about that.
Nice place quite an peaceful
Nice place to retire and meet some nice people.
Great place in a not so great area.
Great mobile home community!
Lot fee is ridiculously high never gonna do it..
Quick drive through, nicely kept, still recovering from hurricane Erma.
Nice retirement park. Most people are nice.
You have to have lots of money to live here. Lot rent goes up annually.
Good decent community
Very rude customer service. I come from the midwest, and it was a shocker on how unprofessional the staff was. Communication was all but impossible with the manager
Buccaneers Essay a very very good place.
We really liked this community and visited it several times over 6 months to get a good feel for what they had to offer. We finally found a nice place there for sale and decided to begin the buying process. During the application process we let them know we had 2 small yorkies, brother and sister, who were 1 1/2 years old and were trained not to bark. We were told there was some association rule against having more than 1 pet and suggested we get our doctor to write a note saying they were medically necessary. Of course the doctor refused. When we called back they seemed completely uninterested in working with us. I can understand a rule that prevents animal hoarding but give me a break. We will find a nearby community that will have no problem taking our money.
Pretty nice place to live
Live there now n LUV IT !!!!
I swam in the pool its cool get it pool cool
Like that we are close to wood nice work out rm .two pool san nas. Securty and maintance staff are nice little pricey hoh. Fees going up every year 850 amonth for us

Way too much to pay for corn....( buck- a- ear).... Monthly fees are a rip
Live here. Love it.
This could be a real nice place but management is so poor that people are trying to get out
Pool is awesome and I have known the place since my great great grandma
Looking to move here but need more info from lot rent payings before i consider, we are on a fix disablility income and need to know how much the rent is and what it includes and sdoes eveyone pay the same

Nice place for middle age pleople

Great place to live.
Top notch management and maintenance!
Very well maintained. Community.
I live in Buccaneer Estates and It is expensive for lot rent. We do live on a big lake and our rent is $810 which includes water, sewer, grass cutting, trash removal. You can find homes cheap in here but the lot rent is what kills alot of deals.
I live there...trying to chane my home status!
