CantaMia Reviews

I have lived in Canta Mia for quite awhile and am saddened to write this review. CM used to be a beautiful well maintained and managed community. It is being run into the ground now. You can tell Taylor Morrison, the HOA team lead by Nicole DO NOT care about this beloved little community.

We used to have rolling green grasses throughout or lakes, now huge burn outs for extended periods of time occur. Promises that it will be addressed and then nothing happens. AAA landscaping is useless and uneducated on how to maintain our grasses, shrubs and trees. Plants struggle to survive because watering times have been cut back,

Yet, go to any neighboring communities and they still continue to have lush green belts, vibrant bougainvillea’s, thriving plants and trees.

Pigeon mitigation is a joke here! Bird droppings, nest debris, broken eggs are a common daily visual as you exit building and head towards pool. Most chairs and loungers at cafe, pool, firepit are always covered in bird droppings. Pigeons regularly fly into glass windows and doors. A few years ago they “attempted “ to mitigate but since then there has been absolutely no follow up.

General maintenance and upkeep here is in decline. Little things are allowed to grow into major issues because no one walks community or has the eye to catch these issues. Broken sidewalks, park benches that were never addressed, repaired or painted are now covered in splinters.

Community board never updated, rotating lifestyle coordinator never think outside of the box.

We only have a part, part time Compliance manager on site. Rarely drives through community, so many unseen violations that are allowed to continue without violations or redirections. Our prior was an actual resident! Talk about conflict of interest! Who’s making these poor decisions that do not benefit our community l???

The latest kicker is our beautiful pool will be closed for atleast a month during the hottest month of August (2026). What schmoo approved this ? Taylor Morrison is more than likely getting a kickback for doing this in the height of summer, while its residence struggle to find comfort during the heat.

This the THIRD time in 5 years they have had to resurface the pool area. All because of shotty workmanship and no intellectual follow up (by HOA) when things were still under warranty immediately after completion of work.

It’s apparent no one cares about this community anymore. It’s so sad because we truly have the potential to be what we once were. I have tried many times to bring these and many other concerns to the board and literally get told to attend meetings at the community center. When I have it’s a lot of run around excuses to wear you down and get no resolve except frustration. Nicole is along with Taylor Morrison is destroying Canta Mia, with excuses, all talk and no action. Shame on you all for destroying what Canta Mia once was.

If you are thinking about building or moving into this community, I suggest you walk it and see for yourself. This place is literally falling apart in front of your eyes. Is that what you want for your retirement? You deserve better, ask these questions when you visit the sales office. Don’t take their passive answers as reasoning. For example, if they tell you, the grass is burnt out because it’s been hot. It’s not true because it’s been like that summer spring winter fall yet other communities still have green lush grasses.

CantaMia boosts one of the highest HOA fees (299/mo), with fewer amenities. One restaurant, only open 5 days per week 8a-230p. Limited menu. BUILDER STULL HAS FULL HOA CONTROL–ITS THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. Plenty of other options with better treatment to residents.

Cantamia is small and intimate for a retirement community. There is one clubhouse with fun activities and clubs. Love the outdoor pool looking out over the lake. A bit far out from everything but not for long.
