Customer Reviews - Life Storage #527, Costa Mesa
We at Life Storage want to maintain the best storage facilities in Costa Mesa, and in every city where we do business.
Take a look at all the good things our customers say about this Life Storage, and all of our stores! It thrills us to give customers the best customer service possible, and to hear when they are pleased with how we have taken care of their storage needs.
"I went to Store # 572 (Pullman in Costa Mesa) to meet an Offer Up buyer from out of the local area to buy a rare vintage chair I had in storage on May 17th at 12:00. This is the story of what ensued.
1. The front lobby is locked for both myself and the buyer.
2. I then drive around to the back--Entering the back drive lot, the drive is still full of construction mud and has hardly any parking (this has been the case for almost 13 months now and it sucks to have to get a car wash after every trip to the facility. Like cling on grey mud).
My unit is on the 2nd floor.
3. NONE of the elevators were working.
4. After that we went to the stairwell closest to the office, and walked up to the 2nd flight landing-- it was locked.
5. We went back down to the office and the interior door to the office is also locked. Luckily, Jose (by no fault of his own) heard us.
6. We all walk back up to the 2nd-floor landing and Jose tried every key he had, and found he did not have the key.
7. We all then walked all the way to the far corner store landing and walk up to that 2nd-floor stairwell door.
8. We had to walk through a puddle of human urine to get there.
9. THAT door was also locked.
10. At this point Jose did everything he was enabled to do but that was not enough.
11. I lost $550 in the sale as my buyer left after this fiasco of unprofessional maintenance of a facility that keeps creeping the monthly dues up after I had initially signed on for around $80 monthly.
12. For MONTHS the entry point to the units has been a muddy mess and this is not the first time we have walked through human excrement in the stairwell.
13. The only ray of light was Jose and his efforts to try to work in such bad conditions. I got the sense that he was very frustrated over the whole thing as well.
What a huge disappointment. I've also contacted the BBB.
I'm moving."
"Wow! What a blessing it has been finding Life Storage in Costa Mesa ! Really , more than anything else, was the incredible service, ambiance, and overall care of the staff member Jose! Jose has been prompt , efficient, and helpful with anything I have thrown his way, which has been quite a bit. Jose truly has gone the extra mile for me and my fiance to have an unparalleled experience with our belongings now finally feeling safe , accessible, and my mind is at ease. Thank you Jose for such a wonderful experience, I truly appreciate your help with everything! 5 star recommendation for Life Storage - Costa Mesa!"
"Great storage facility!
Amazing management!
Climate controlled units keep your things from getting ruined in the Cali heat !
Jose the general manager went above and beyond on our move out day . Highly recommended this facility."
"The Assoc. Manager Beatrice made my vacate process smooth and easy. I got auto-charged for this month when I should not be and she ensured that the payment will be refunded back to my card handling everything while on the phone with me. Thank you!"
"10/10 experience when booking a new unit. As a pharmaceutical rep O have to have specific requirements for sample storage and, with climate control, this location seemed to work! Beatrice and the rest of the staff at the front were very nice and willing to walk me through the process of starting a new unit, how to reach my unit, etc. I appreciate how helpful and informative they were."
"Beatrice is an amazing awesome employee she was very helpful kind and helped me with all my questions and needs I'd recommend her and this facility to any and everyone I know"
"Eric Medeck is the best life storage employee I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Life Storage as a brand has never disappointed me. As with all establishments hiccups and inefficiencies will occur but it’s the staff that makes the magic happen. Eric was able to make me feel taken care of and get me signed up and into my unit in record time. He helped me after hours to ensure I always had access and did it with a smile. He sacrificed his lunch hour for me and another patron and I hope he never has to do it again but god damn am I grateful for him. Thanks Eric and Life Storage Costa Mesa!!!"
"The experience with the service was excellent, the unique staff was very satisfied with the kindness and professionalism of Samantha. It was extraordinary."
"Eric is awesome at what he does. He set me up with some affordable storage and had me in and out within 15 minutes! How can you make it any easier than that? Fantastic and wholly recommended!"
"I had made a reservation with a different location at first. I get there the system is down only an hour before closing. I had a car full of stuff and nowhere to put it. I called customer service and she told me about the the Pullman location. It was 15min to closing. I get there to be greeted with a smile and a 'No Worries' attitude. Eric was so kind and extremely helpful, patient and professional. He not only provided me with what I needed but made 'My Everything Gone Wrong Day' to a Happy success. Thank you again Eric for providing me with exceptional customer service and going that ex step to accommodate my needs."
"Can't say good enough things about this storage facility and the staff working there. A pleasure to work with, everyone was very helpful and explained all terms clearly. The facility is immaculate and the location felt safe. I will definitely never go anywhere else, and you shouldn't either!"
"I went around looking for storage places to store a few bins I had that didn’t fit in my current garage. This was my first time looking to renting one and had seen and stopped by a few others around my area but Life Storage was the one I chose.
Walking through the door I was greeted by Samantha and another associate of hers and they were so kind and helpful. They went over everything with me in detail, gave me a preview of how big my unit was and also were super accommodating on anything else I needed to make this process an easy one.
Looks like they have a new building coming in with more storage units, going through the gates to get to the bays the road seems to be a bit under construction with all the gravel but I had no issues once getting inside. Their facility was well kept and I did not see any trash or other alarming red flags to make me second guess leaving my belongings here."

"Andrew and Samantha provided us with the best moving experience I ever had! Between the van, the deal that life storage had, and the clean facilities, I cannot recommend this place enough! They were very friendly and responsive. If I need a storage facility again I will 100% be returning!"
"Love the hospitality when getting a unit for storage definitely will recommend they have great hours the whole process from reserving a unit on the phone from coming in person the experience was amazing and friendly."
"Samantha (Store Manager), Andrew Ashley and Eric Youdes were all awesome. I love my new LifeStorage over the last Extra Space Storage I had. I highly recommend it here. The customer service is great"
"Wow, this place is really great because its managed by really great people! Samantha was an awesome person to deal with and made the process of both securing a unit and eventually parting ways when I no longer needed it a cinch! Would highly recommend this to anyone. Lot is also monitored 24/7 which is great piece of mind."
"It is clear since we started renting our space that new management is in place and I got to see that first hand when I met the new manager, Samantha! I almost did not rent my space in July 2020 because there was human feces in the stairwell as the then manager showed me the unit. It was too late to change our minds as our movers were on their way. Now, it is the place it should have been. I am disappointed to read such a review on Samantha as I had the exact opposite experience."
"Samantha the SM was great, funny, and helpful! Stopped by with my boyfriend to check out our reservation & she made our time there enjoyable. 😄 had us laughing the whole time. 10/10 experience"
"This place is filthy. Example: a water bottle filled with a yellow liquid and left in the elevator for several days. You can guess what the liquid was. Along with assorted other trash such as fast food bags, soda cups, etc. Trash around the entry area, in elevator, and hallways.
I am leaving as soon as possible. No wonder they have roach and rat traps everywhere."
"Samantha Bixby was incredibly helpful during my experience checking in at the Costa Mesa location. I was given incorrect information prior to my arrival to the facility from the central reservations team and Samantha went above and beyond to correct those errors and provide a solution which ended up being better than my original option. She did so with a great attitude and helpfulness that was extremely appreciated. Thank you, Samantha!"
"This place has really gone downhill since it changed hands from Magellan Storage to Life Storage. All of a sudden there's price increases every year, and not just little price increases. You might think that with price increases you'd be getting a better facility but that's not the case. There's always trash scattered throughout the facility now (inside and outside) because all the trash cans/dumpsters have been removed The push carts that used to be provided as a convenience have been taken away. Storage units are getting broke into often, might have something to do with the fact that the gate doesn't always work. Luckily my unit has only gotten broken into once in which apparently bandits broke into a whole bunch of storage units, unfortunately many things were stolen, things exceeding several thousand dollars. At least they have cameras there right? Well, yes they have some but good luck trying to get them to actually go through the footage or getting them to try to prosecute the criminals, not gonna happen. The door on my unit remains damaged and difficult to use after about a year and there's no interest in them fixing it nor all the other units that remain damaged. And if you need customer service, good luck trying to get a hold of anyone as they really cut down their staff so there is only 1 person working there at a time (even pre-Covid), that person can't be in the office often because they have other things to do around the facility. Couple other things that don't happen anymore that used to happen during Magellan Storage, complimentary food trucks for tenants once in a while, garage sales. Should I talk about all the rat poop that covers everything now? They do have a great location though? So 2 stars"
"I would give this place zero stars if possible even go negative since they hired a new manager and got rid of the guy who actually took pride in what he did.
I was informed by Nicolas that they accidentally sold my unit. When I confronted Samantha about this her attitude was so cavalier and blasé you would think she was deciding what she was going to order at Starbucks or contemplating the time it takes for paint to dry.
You accidentally sell my things without any notice, you refused to help me get my stuff back, you make empty promise after empty promise and yet I should be grateful? It's practically impossible to even get a return phone call from anyone at this location or even the area manager whom calls from a blocked number doesn't fulfill her promises real professional right?
You do not care that my identity was stolen because of your inept manger and total negligence. You've made no effort to get my birth certificate Social Security card credit card debit cards and mail back inside the unit contains all of my clothing other than the clothes on my back? Is it normal that you have not extended any sort of courtesy for your total ineptitude and negligence.
I highly advise to stay away from this place. Samantha is as useless as the pimple on my ass, particularly as she told me "that's just life storage" As an explanation for why she didn't call me back.
Samantha makes empty promises in order to use theft by deception in order to defraud you and steal possessions. I'm certain once she realized what was in there after entering and cutting off my lock without any notice or even a phone call.
Can you imagine having your entire wardrobe except for what you're wearing gone? All of your legal documents gone, personal and private information in the hands of other people, your medical records family photos etc.?
Replacement value of my wardrobe alone is close to $100,000 I'm sure Samantha's partner is enjoying the custom-made Brioni suits? The 14 pairs of Ferragamo shoes? Yes I know size 13 doesn't make them easy to sale or wear however they were mine not yours to begin with! Then how about the two dozen custom-made shirts from Saks fifth Avenue? Personally, I like the French cuffs with my silver cuff links and the Pannerai watch... The countless luxury and designer items from Zegna, Brioni, Pucci, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès etc... You realize I needed theses things to go to work?
Valentino slacks that I just bought, or the D squared and Moschimo items with the tags still on them? How about those Brunello Cucinelli sweaters? And all my dirty underwear despite being from 2 Exist they were mostly dirty as I hadn't done laundry in weeks that's why there was a new box of laundry detergent next to them. Did you like the Giuseppe Zanotti shoes? You realize that those were almost $2k? Thanks Samantha for all of the problems you've caused me. It's not like I didn't have enough on my plate already.
And to whomever has my things you should also think Samantha, because many of those new items would not be there if it hadn't been for her suggesting I put more items inside right before she "accidentally" sold I mean stole I mean sold everything.
Whoever has my things are you enjoying coffee from the new never used or opened Technivorm coffee maker, i'm sure you already discovered the Kona coffee that was $100 a pound and the coffee grinder....
There also was the Tumi luggage, the Louis Vuitton luggage, bedding and linens, two bikes of which one was a carbon fiber Specialized valued at $6k less than a year old, all different Apple products, i'm glad you're enjoying the latest technology they offer and some very expensive odds and ends I've kept to remind myself of certain places and people.
So you lie, you screw up, and you want me to take the loss? What a great position to take when you destroy someone's life in a fairly epic manner like this. I guess the law doesn't matter to you and given what you've done and shown me by threatening to have me arrested for trespassing when I attempted to make a police report shows you have no work ethic which everyone already knows but you are also potentially a sociopath and I know according to you it's not your problem...
Make sure you do as much cover-up as you can in order to justify these egregious "accidents" Samantha
Ironically the area manager informed me There was no late charges or any extra types of fees due to Covid and you knew this all along, yet you lied as I waited for a call for 2 months as I checked in at least every other week sometimes daily... yet why when I was there two weeks prior and I saw my lock missing you told me that nobody had broken in that you had cut the lock off and insisted that I put more items in the unit.
Theft is wrong no matter how you justify it and Samantha Bixby Life Storage as well as the auction company that didn't do their due diligence are all guilty of theft by conversion"
"Samantha was very nice to talk to she help me find the right storage unit and she was very informative about everything. Since she started running the store it has been a lot cleaner and organized. Just wanted to say in my opinion she's a good manager. Thanks Samantha."
"Extremely friendly, reliable & dependable service. Samantha the store manager is fantastic to work with!!
Great Hours to access your storage unit. Clean facility. Highly recommend life storage!!"
"Stay away from this storage
They are not safe at all. I got my vehicle stolen from this property. Store manager was totally unprofessional and they she treated me was unacceptable"
"The same office staff is rarely at the office and never pick up the phone. I have to wait minimum of 20-30 min every time I'm here, just to borrow a cart. Furthermore, there are many rat traps all over the inside the storage area. Bad management."

"Prices go up a lot. Moved to a new place closer to home. Noticed the front office a month in advance that we would be moving out and were told that we did it perfectly and would have no problem with no more payments coming out and just notify them again when we are out. End of January we let them know we are all out and cleaned. A week later.....they took money out. Called left a message NOTHING, sent an email from their site.....NOTHING!!! Do not rent here, they steal your money!!!"
"Great location. Terrible customer service. There is no way to get a hold of anyone in corporate and if you call the local office most of the time they don't answer or return your call. I've been having technical difficulty with their website for weeks and their IT person will not call me back. I email and call every day."
"Returned to our storage units after about a year to find all aspects of the site as run down and dirty as I have seen it in the eight years we have had the units. The elevator's sluggish operation was concerning as well. What I had previously considered a well maintained site has now become a run of the mill sketchy storage operation."
"I accidentally maid a payment on the wrong unit and tried to resolve this issue. I spoke to Marco the property manager and he said he would handle it. A week and a half later still nothing done. I was frustrated because obviously he didn't do his job. When I said that he became hotty and said that I created extra work for him. Excuse me! Things happen on accident and you promised me that you would handle it. He hangs up on me and says if I go there to resolve it that he would contact the police. What!? My business stuff is in there. I'm not late. I am going to file a police report on the property!!! This is crazy! He lied saying they don't have a regional manager and found out they do. Big mess! I would never in my life talk to my customers the way he did. He needs to get fired! Hotty man with a major attitude problem. The previous property manager was more professional. Heaven forbid you make one mistake online for your unit. BBB should be contacted in this case since they list it on their site. I cannot store my business stuff in there with the way they handle their ghetto customer service attitude. Stay away from this place! Customer service is impossible to deal with. Just a big warning from a business owner."
"This entire facility is infested with mice,rats and possibly bed bugs. I've been a customer for 10 years, when it was originally Magellan Storage the place was immaculate . Then it became "Uncle Bobs"storage and got more expensive. Now it's "Life Storage"but it should really be called "Life Sucks Storage". All my stuff is covered in mouse droppings and rodent urine. I"ll have to throw out most of it and find another place. They don't have garbage pails or a dumpster on the property. So now I have to put all that nasty stuff in my car. It's also super expensive. I saw mice scampering out of a lockea few doors away . Even though there's mouse traps all over the place it's still infested. Remember that old movie called "Willard" about a guy who was into hoarding pet rats? He would be in heaven if he had a unit at Life Sucks Storage. Can't wait to get out of there !"
"Infested with Mice and Filthy ! This facility used to be clean and great before Life Storage took over . Now it’s disgusting . I saw a mouse scurrying into one of the units and there are dead ones everywhere . All my stuff is covered in mouse droppings and rodent urine — and I have to throw it out . Gross. There’s broken glass in the hall, dead mice and vandalized lockers. I should sue them ."

"Great place to store your things. Location is convenient to freeways. Best part, people who work here and take care of things. Special thanks to Barbara B. and Rae S. Both are pros and care for the place like its their home. =M=M"
"I had the pleasure working with barbara and Kevin
Both are very professional and patient.
If I ever need storage I will definitely rent here.
Thanks for all the help!!"
"WELL I must say there must have been some BIG personnel changes here since all the 1 star reviews were posted back in the day!
I recently moved in and THEN read the reviews. I know, I know .... not the smartest way to use YELP but in this case it worked out well for me! If I read those old 1 star reviews first I probably would not have come here!
So I guess I got lucky doing it my way because my move in experience was amazingly easy and I don't think you can find a nicer, more accommodating office staff team then Barbara and Reigh!(probably spelled her name wrong lol sorry Reigh).
Seriously, they were friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with... And just so you know, I have had my share of grumpy, unaccommodating storage unit managers so I was more then glad to run into these two : )
Bottom Line! I am pretty happy here... you might be too! I suggest you check it out."
"Just started doin business with them, and I can say for certain I am very impressed with their customer service and professionalism. Barbara is an absolute pleasure to have met and be assisted by with setting up my contract, in the process of setting up I also met Raelynn and she was very accommodating as well. Thus far I know I made the right choice with Life Storage by choosing them to store my black buses ."
"Three months ago I went to my storage and noticed the lights in hall directly across from my unit were out. I went to the office and reported it. I returned again about a month and a half later (on 12-14-2019) to find that the same lights still had not been fixed. I again went to the office and spoke to Barbara (the "Store Manager"), and she told me that the company they hired to replace them hadn't gotten to my row yet. Three weeks later (on 01-05-2020) I went back to my unit and they still have not been replaced. Again I spoke to Barbara, and she said they had the lights in a storage unit.
These lights are the only means of getting any light in my unit. Without them it is very difficult to see my things. I can't believe it takes more than three months to fix these lights. I think this management is doing a horrible job at keeping the facilities working properly. On top of that, from the few times I have dealt with the manager, she always seems to have a bad attitude and poor customer service (unless you are a potentially new customer).
This place has gotten so much worse since I first moved in. I now regret my decision."
"I got a storage space here quickly and with great customer service from Rae Sharpless. She was friendly and got me all paper work done within minutes. I highly recommend. Clean storage and very new looking area."
"Rae gave me excellent service and was patient and professional in answering all of my questions about the unit. She took me around the enclosed parking area and was detailed in explaining the procedures. The price was just okay but the service is great."
"Rae , the manager, is a wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable manager.
She thoroughly explained all the rules regarding the facility and security for my storage units. Positive, gracious, and great customer service. A very smart lady. Because of her, I highly recommend Life storage."
"Just a heads up. if your storing anything of value here don't.. it will be stolen especially if your on the 2nd floor.. wife and I had about $10,000 worth of stuff stolen from our unit and with no signs of forced entry insurance will deny your claim. Costa Mesa pd pretty much said you'll probably never see your stuff again. I was so furious. trying to pursue bad faith court options against Xercor , life storage promoted insurance, for bad business practices of denying claims without investigating.. anyways if you care for your belongings consider another location and don't believe all the fake 5* reviews like I did"
"Came in to look at a unit and was surprised to see that these are available to see in the Main Office. Once there, Rae Shapless made sure I looked online to get the best price. She was beyond helpful and fun! Appreciate how smooth they made the rental process! Definitely recommend the place and their team!"
"Absolutely a great experience, the staff is awesome and accommodating. Steve, Kevin and Rae- I was in between Homes and used them as a short stay storage facility. The unit was clean and secure. Would definitely use Life Storage again in the future."
"Id leave a zero if possible. This place went way down hill since I got first unit there. It was nice and clean now its always filthy. The manger dan is worthless, says hes making notes but doesnt do anything. They wont even return my insurance companies calls after my unit there was broken into. Extremely disappointed in management at this facility."
"If anyone has a storage unit at Life Storage on Pullman/Paularino and Redhill you might want to check your unit for a break in. Mine was broken into AGAIN sometime between Sept 9th and the 21st. This time was much worse. You can't tell by looking at the lock because they either pick the lock (which by the way also means the insurance will not cover any loss without evidence of forced entry) or they go in through a metal wire grid above which would be easy to do with a cordless drill. Especially since there is no security they don't need to rush out of there. I know a lot of people aren't in their units on a regular basis and apparently the security is non-existent after 10 pm these days, the only way to know is by going there yourself.
I have reported this information to the police."
"Employees were always willing to help in any situation. Returning calls or letting
me know when I was delayed in my payment, also very supportive. Thanks for all your patience with me!"
"Manager Rae ensures we were taken care of. She provided us with guidance on how to select a storage unit and gave us tips on taking care of our items in storage. Thanks Rae!"
"Rae was so Helpful & Nice!
Genuinely Friendly which I liked
The whole Experience was Awesome vs other times I've walked in here!
Thank you so much for all your help Rae!
Also dealt slightly with Dave he was also helpful & funny!"
"Was treated poorly from the moment I walked in. The front desk guy first words out of his mouth were there's four people ahead of you and just walked away. I looked around and no one else was in the lobby. I patiently sat that for about 10 minutes as he continued to completely blow me off. Finally got up and asked him a question about the operating hours and he gave me completely different hours than they told me over the phone. His response was yea...we tell them not to say that. Got up and walked out. Thanks for wasting my time. This place is joke"
"I am totally delighted with my new storage space on the second floor with skylights overhead. Staff has been exceedingly helpful, and I appreciate the help with the locked carts I received in the beginning before I brought over my own cart to facilitate moving stuff in and out. Your facility is easy to get to as it is located in my circle of travels. Overall, just simply excellent."
"Gotta give a huge SHOUT OUT to Samantha who was able to solve an issue in ONE day after I had been working w/ others at Life Storage on the same issue for the previous MONTH! Samantha is a star and I hope she is recognized for her exemplary customer service. Life Storage is a clean & well lit facility, my only criticism (which Life Storage cannot control) is that there can be a lot of sketchy random men hanging out/loitering around the perimeter and the parking lot and it makes me nervous (as a woman alone accessing my storage cage). I hope there are tons of surveillance cameras working so my imminent murder will be captured on film and given to the police ha ha *sigh*."
"We stored a few things here while we were in the middle of a move. Our items were there for 30 days and in that time a generator was stolen out of our unit. No clue how this happened and based on suspicion it had to be an inside job. Who else would know what was in there. There are cameras and no one was around when it was all stored. Customer service here is also awful as they have only one Employee now (maybe why others just quit) and he was on lunch when we came to remove our stuff from the unit. You can't get the rolling carts unless you get a key from the guy at the front. The whole situation was awful and now we have a claim out for our $900 generator. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE."
"If it wasn't for the referral from Luis over at Athletics Moving Company, I would've never know about this place. Let alone had the necessary space to store everything! Everyone over here is extremely friendly, helpful, with a can-do attitude!
I've referred now 2 other people over here, prices are incredible, extremely safe, and cleanliness is white glove approved. :-)"
"Jamie Manzella was excellent in giving me all the information. She is very friendly, pleasant and full of energy. A great representative for your company!!
Alberto Negrete was also very helpful.
So patient and friendly."
"I just came to check the ratings, I loved the area and the cleanliness, signed up right there on the spot, Jamie was very welcoming and setup was easier and faster... couple questions signatures in and out in less than 5 minutes
Jay B"
"Great place from start to finish! Customer service was excellent. Showed me around to a few different storage units. Check in was a little long but not bad. Found out I could of done it on line, to save a little time. On moving day they have carts to borrow which was very nice. Very friendly and helpful. Also the place is very clean."
"I am in the process of buying a house and needed a storage until we moved and didn't anticipate how much stuff we had. The store manager Jamie Manzella is amazing!!!! She made the whole process of getting the additional units I needed quick and easy!!! I would highly recommend Life Storage!!! You'll have piece of mind in knowing that your items are in a safe/clean environment."
"The staff is extremely nice, welcoming and is always helpful. The storage buildings and facility are nicely up kept and maintained. I highly recommend."
"Love this place. Always clean and staff are super friendly. Im usually in and out one or twice a day and any questions or requests that I have, the staff goes out of there way to help."
"Jamie was absolutely fantastic! Literally the best storage experience Ive ever had and weve moved a lot so Ive had plenty! The facility is super clean and no funky smells like youll find in other storage facilities."
"I have maintained multiple storage units af Life Sotrage for over 5 years. There is no better place. They are helpful, responsive and always available. I want to especially thank Alberto Negrete for help."
"Jamie signed me up for the account, she is extremely nice and efficient. Alberto was very helpful with the initial tour of the storage area, he answered all my questions with my first visit, excellent. They gladly reserved my storage spot until I was ready to move my vehicle to assigned space, thank you, I appreciate it!"
"Came in today to lifestorage to switch my unit to a larger, less expensive unit. Wasn't sure they would honor the lower rate offered online for a current customer but Jamie was awesome and did honor the lower rate. Had everything filled out and signed in less than 30 mins.
