Scams
Please be aware of fraud. Lease and payments must be made in contract with Spinnaker Property Management. If anyone is trying to convince you otherwise, it is a scam.
Lease applications can only be submitted through Spinnaker Property Management or with the help of a licensed leasing agent. We do not lease homes through Craigslist or other classified advertising services.
