Testimonials
I'm so excited! I just reserved my new apartment home here at Ciel Luxury Apartments. Yes, I get to say LUXURY! I have a dream kitchen with a center island! I'm skipping around. Everyone was very nice through the process and it truly is a beautiful place. What I love most, I'm the first to live in my apartment. No past history in this apartment. What a great way to start my new year! Thank you for everything.

Absolutely a gorgeous community. I toured the community and it looks like a resort.
- Alex R.
I just moved in this past weekend. The staff is absolutely amazing. The anticipation was tremendous but I can truly say that it is much more than I imagined. It is beautiful. I know that the definition of Ciel is heaven or sky in french. But they should add luxury. I am truly home and I can exhale :).

The staff has been outstanding through entire lease application and move in process. Just love the vibe at Ciel and things are still under construction - so I can only imagine when all is complete. Floor plans are creative and inviting, garages are over-sized which is a nice plus.

Very nice new community, moved in when some of the buildings are still under construction. Hasn't been bad with the construction. Apartments themselves are very modern and clean looking with great fixtures. Really like the fob to enter building and elevators and hallways are all inside the building with A/C which is so nice to have in FL. Staff is very friendly and willing to help you with what you need! Jared helped me and was great.

Ciel is such a nice place! I love it! The pool is so nice. I use the hydro massage bed in the clubhouse a couple times a week. When I moved in it was like a brand new apartment. It was so clean. The maintenance and groundskeepers are very respectful and pass you with a good morning every day.
