Comment: Crappy poorly put together apartments. Most will randomly flood on you. Infested with roaches spiders and mice. Maintenance guys creepy doesn’t actually do maintenance, if your lucky enough to even get them to respond to a request- they’ll either run away when you open the door and pretend you weren’t there or they will pretend to look at the issue for a couple seconds and then say they can’t do nothing about it….I’ve also had 2 of these men randomly enter my apartment for no reason(no maintenance request placed ever at that point) with no notice, not even a knock and my doors were both locked…. Thank god I have big dogs because it scares me to think what their intentions were.Overpriced and not worth the hassle.2024 Update: still stuck here cuz San Diego expensive. Latest horrors have been HSI raiding our neighbors. Meth heads doing meth on top of my small children’s laundry, dogs jumping out of two story windows, and maintenance has left us with a dead mouse in our oven for over a month- we haven’t even been able to use our oven for 5-6weeks and they’ve pretty much still ignored our pleads. Dont waste your money here it’s gonna cause so many mental and physical health problems for you too.

Comment: If I could give negative stars I would. My experience with them was horrible. Applied for apartment which means I obviously paid the holding fee. Got an email saying I needed to send all the information over that they needed within 48 hours, I sent it the next day, and sent my pets vaccinations the day after. Then I received a call from them saying my “application had been cancelled” because I “didn’t send the information required” and that the apartment I paid a holding fee for was claimed by someone else after they cancelled it. Management is clearly inadequate at their job, because they don’t answer their phones either you have to call like a toxic boyfriend to get them to pickup even if they called you a few minutes prior.They tried to make it right by giving me a different unit, cool whatever. But then said that they “didn’t know” if my bank statements would be good enough for proof of income? Despite the email they sent me saying that would work? Then proceeded to ask me for my business license since I’m self employed? Never once in the history of me renting have I ever had to give an apartment complex my business license, thankfully I found an apartment immediately after where managment actually did their job and wasn’t making the application process overly complex.Save yourselfs a headache, find a different place. There are much better places that have bigger units and better staff.

Comment: Maintenance team is great, but front office is unresponsive and the general quality of the community is worsening. Rent, laundry, garage costs have all increased significantly without any noticeable improvement or reinvestment anywhere in the community. Even dog bags which have been provided for the 2+ years I’ve lived here are now “not in the budget” and there’s evidence of this all over the common areas now. The basketball/tennis court is finally getting repaired but that’s 2 years late at this point and was used as a selling point when we toured the complex in 2022. They did some garage roofing “repairs” a few months ago and the crew dropped so much insulation and broken wood into my garage that it took hours to clean back to its previous state. Coral Bay also refused to compensate people affected by this, essentially making us purchase materials and provide free labor to finish their garage roof repair project. If I raise any concerns I should expect to follow up multiple times before I receive a response ~2 weeks later.It’s a decent apartment in a decent area but I’m almost to the point where I’m morally against continuing to give them money. It doesn’t seem like Coral Bay cares much about current residents or improving the community which is unjustifiable considering how much profit this place must make every month. If you’re still reading this I would suggest you find somewhere else to live.Editing this review to note that they replied faster here than to any email Ive ever sent.

Comment: Not great! Had a bathroom full of little bugs and when I mean full I’m talking about toilet full, tub full walls covered it was disgusting! When I called to see what they could do they said they wld send someone 2 weeks out on a Monday during working hours. I could not get a day off. Not helpful at all, they don’t have at least 2 days that can be worked with.

Comment: Location is good. Other than that this place sucks. Parking sucks, you will be walking a mile after 7pm, and insulation sucks; you will hear you upstairs neighbors having s__. The only amenities that are available include the pool, jacuzzi, gym, and everything else listed on their website is a lie. Tennis court, basketball court, etc...have been shut down since covid.

Comment: Ive lived at Coral Bay for 20 years. For the longest time I felt it was right to give five stars. It dropped to four due to maintenance leadership changes as there is a marked decline in how this area of CB is run - at least in my opinion, that is. That aside, I have to say the office staff led by Laura Gaffney have been terrific and lately I’m sure I have been a challenge. But Laura seems to be a people person and I appreciate how well she has handled my needs. There are many great things about living here. Aside from the parking which is not an issue exclusive to CB, it’s all over the city, the way problems are handled is remarkable. I’ve been happy here. I have had some ongoing maintenance needs but once all work is complete I’ll revisit Google Reviews to see if that fifth star should go back up. For now, four is still very good. I would recommend living here.

Skyler took the time to listen to my concern and made an effort to assist me. Skyler also went out of his way to put my worries at ease and was polite and respectful. Skyler provides excellent customer service and truly is excellent at his job! Thank you Skyler!

Comment: If youre looking for:- Leasing office who locks their doors all day so you cannot get in to speak in person, has never once answered a phone call or called back to a voicemail, and refuses to respond to emails, this is the place for you!- No parking what-so-ever and having to walk a mile at night anytime after 7PM to your apartment, this is the place for you!- An apartment complex that hires their own tow company to tow their tenants from the parking lots, this is the place for you!- Cockroaches everywhere inside and out, this is the place for you!- Hot tub that is always broken, this is the place for you!- Construction and landscaping starting at 6AM every single day of the week, this is the place for you!- Laundry machines that are broken 24/7, this is the place for you!- All gym equipment broken 24/7, has never been replaced or fixed in years, this is the place for you!- Emails a statement stating they have hired security but lies about it because you call the security company and they have never heard of Coral Bay Apartments, this is the place for you!- Dog poop everywhere because there are no policies or plans in place for picking up after pets, this is the place for you!- Sewage everywhere overflowing and your water smelling like sewage 24/7, this is the place for you!- Mold so bad and management saying there is nothing they can do to repair or fix the problem, this is the place for you!- Homeless always dumpster diving outside your bedroom window, this is the place for you!- Have to pay an extra $20 a month on your lease to input a security door that the apartments used to come with the price, this is the place for you!- Late fee for paying rent happens on the 2nd day of the month with a $150 fee, this is the place for you!- You can hear your neighbor breathing in the next room, this is the place for you!Last time I went to renew my lease the leasing manager Erika Slaughter told me and I quote I hope you move out because we can charge double for your apartment, the faster youre out the more money we can make, I could care less what happens to you .HOWEVER Maintenance is literally amazing and they all need to go work somewhere else for more money because they are TOP TIER customer service and skill set. Ive never lived anywhere with a better maintenance crew.If someone automated responds to this review with a message that says Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Please reach out to our main offices so we may learn more about your experience and further improve our services. Thank you. like on every single review posted, then we know that no one in the leasing office or management is even reading these and they have an automated response setup. If the leasing office cares they will see my name to call AND email me to do everything in their power to create a better living experience for their high paying tenant. Stay tuned everyone, Ill post the follow up (or lack thereof)!

Comment: The maintenance team at Coral Bay is great and usually (not always) prompt to requests, which is great because there are often issues both in and around the apartments. The appliances in unit frequently break, there is always at least one washer/dryer (usually more) that is not usable in each area, and several pieces of gym equipment have been broken for months now. The gym was closed for several weeks in December only for them to replace the floors and not even fix the broken equipment. The apartments, frankly, are overpriced for the quality. My neighbor just had a serious issue with mold, and many blemishes or structural issues in the units are just painted over. Even without all the current construction, parking here is an absolute nightmare.Additionally, the power/water/gas have frequently been turned off due to the construction happening on Clairmont st. Despite all these issues, the leasing office still had the nerve to raise the rent despite delivering sub par service.

Comment: Been living here for 6 months now and only see the negative reviews so here is my realistic experience.Context: i’m a 23 year old in my first year out of college and this is honestly a chill place to live as a young person. not a place to make a permanent home (imo) but if you’re needing a place quick, for a decent price, that is nice enough, i think this is a solid optionPROS:-amenities are nice (gym + pool)-good location-decent price (for san diego at least)-good living-room space-friendly neighbors (so far!) the community has been nice-awesome, nice and timely maintenance staff!!CONS:-parking (or lack thereof) is HEINOUS it’s actually a nightmare if you arrive past 7pm-walls are thin (noisy sometimes), but nothing earbuds/plugs can’t handle-loud construction during the day (if you go in for work you’ll miss it but if you wfh you’ll definitely struggle)-bedrooms are small (not an issue for me personally, but if you like to have more space this prob isn’t the place for you)-office never answers the phone so you have to physically go in if you have an issue (which is hard if you work a typical 9-5)i’ve never had an issue with appliances or bugs (besides a friendly house spider here and there). laundry facilities are meh, nothing special, but i’ve personally never had a problem with theft/quality of wash etc!maybe it’s because i lived in wayyy worse places during university, but compared to those, this place is solid👍🏻

Comment: I am adding a star because the maintenance and management team have improved and upgrades to pool/gym is done. 2/29/24Only giving 2 stars because the complex is close to mission bay and I love the area. Since I moved here it’s been a mess. The week I moved 2 days beforeThey told me the apartment they leased to me wasn’t gonna be ready for a few months and I could cancel if I wanted to knowing that I already had a truck and had to move because my other apartment was now rented. The maintenance people here are all over the place all the time. 7am everyday making all kinds of noise landscaping and talking loud as they want. The office has 0 communication with residence as far as scheduling maintenance and I have had them on ladders in my windowSeveral times unannounced no warning. They’re lucky I had clothing on orI’d be filing police reports. The office also doesn’t care as they never do anything about complaints. Homeless people dig in the trash and recycling all hours of the nightAnd half the laundry rooms are broken. Not worth the $2300 I pay to live here. Good luck getting anyone on the office on the phone. They all sit in the office all day but no one has time to pickup the phone I guess. Do not recommend this complex. Unfortunately I’m trapped til April 🥲EDIT: another day my electricity was turned off without warning as a rude man comes banging on my door at 8:30am. 12/27/23

Comment: My garage got broken into for the third time! Upgraded lock then added another lock. Security is terribly here so is the lighting at night. No security cameras either! The police are referring to the crime rate here as “Ghetto like”. Five garage break in’s in one weekend. The only reason there is one star is because the maintenance guys are great (5 stars) when ownership/management lets them. Ownership/management is many Minus stars!

Comment: DO NOT LIVE HERE! I am a current resident, 22 year old women and I would not recommend it to anyone. The leasing office is impossible to get a hold of, and their hours are standard working hours, so if you have a job forget about getting help on anything. They are also incredibly non responsive via email or phone. Additionally, the parking is a nightmare, forget about finding a spot after 6pm. The complex as a whole is extremely low quality - a pig with lipstick to be honest. Low quality amenities with a pretty bandaid slapped on. The complex is loud as well, people constantly yelling and revving their car engines. I really regret living here - wish I could break out of my lease and find something MUCH safer and nicer for the same price. Do not be fooled by the apartment they show you during your tour, the actual apartments are not the same.

Comment: My boyfriend moved here a few weeks back and everything looked amazing. I came to visit this past week and the true colors of this place started to show. Theres ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING!!!!! Some people haven’t moved their cars since the tour. I had to drive around the complex for an hour to find parking almost in a different neighborhood and had to walk back home smh. There’s feces all over the complex that the residents refuse to clean up after their dogs, there’s loud barking all throughout the night from big dogs. You can hear everything your neighbors are doing. Yeah the walls are that thin. Last but not least, ROACHES!!!!!! I woke up at 7 am and saw 6 roaches running in the kitchen. If there is 6 then I’m sure there is an infestation somewhere and I don’t want my boyfriend to stick around for it. We packed up and took all of his belongings to my place and he made it known he will be breaking his lease 🤦🏼♀️ Beware of this place. Rent here at your own risk!! These negative reviews are accurate

Comment: Good location and community.But! If you arrive from work between 7pm and 4am like me! can be super frustrating. They give a Permit Parking for your car but don’t garantice a spot for you. Street and parking lot get full faster. I have to leave my car sometimes in South Clairemont Park or Sprouts and it’s not good walk tired and in the dark like 20min to get your apartment.Adding a couple things due not parking during the night people leave and park anywhere:My car was towed but if you live in Coral Bay you can have special special discount by the towing company.I paid $230 for pickup my car.People still park in the area from where my was towedAlso City of San Diego has a officer giving tickets to everyone between 6am and 7am. It’s the only time that you see this guy working this area. At their convenience$$ they only show up at this hours. Today Nov 12, around 5 cars got a ticket only in Cowley Way. We feel forced to park anywhere. only the residents of this area will understand it.Park in red lane $87Block side walk/ramp $302Not patrolling company car around during the nightAll reviews about parking, permit, towing company and tickets are true. Just take in consideration before you move in.And good luck with the cockroaches 🪳

Comment: The maintenance team is amazing but living here has been a nightmare. I live in a full on constructions zone that is at work 24 /7 around the clock. It is causing me health problems due to all the dirt and filth coming into my very expensive unit. There is an on going roach problem here and people in the building love to through trash all around the property. Its sad, I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Comment: I was house sitting for a military friend of mine that was deployed to Japan. About two weeks in there was a huge leak coming from the bathroom upstairs that created a hole in the ceiling overnight. I reached out to the maintenance manager John and he was quick to have his maintenance team come out and repair the issue. I was totally freaking out because I was afraid this would cost a fortune to repair but John reassured me that management would take care of everything. He was the first to show up and the last to leave. He kept me informed throughout the whole repair process and I could breathe a sigh of relief that I wouldn’t have to put this issue on my friend and that it could be resolved as quickly and as smoothly as it was.

Comment: Pros:- Location, Great schools and close to everything in San Diego. Either 10-20 minutes away from major areas or attractions.-Amenities, pool and gym are gems!-Maintenance has always been fast for us when we have issues that arise.-Kind and considerate Leasing Agents and Upper management, they are the heart and soul of this establishment they need to be recognized for it. Especially Erika Slaughter! She’s fantastic!Cons:-Parking, forget on finding anything after 6pm it’s slim pickings at that point.-Bugs, ants, fleas and roaches in the summer and massive spiders in the winter.-Dog Poop, people don’t always clean up after their pets.-Single Pane Windows-No air conditioning and an ancient heater.- Only 1 bathroom available.All in all love the trees, feels more secluded and safe (closer to leasing office it’s more quiet on this side of the complex) All my neighbors are great and we have a good sense of community.

Comment: Maintenance is very kind and quick here. The gym is nice, swimming pool is big, and there is lots of natural light from the windows.If I can give any advice to someone thinking of moving in, it is that you will need ear plugs to comfortably live here. For our 13 month lease, I felt every step my upstairs neighbors took, could hear every time they had their tv on, and this was with just a normal everyday routine, not counting loud music being played.The walls are so thin that it made privacy impossible, and let every neighbors sound in. If you work remotely, study at home, or just want to read a book I would not recommend this complex for this reason.I have never had issues with pests before, and in this complex I experienced ant infestations, fleas in the carpet, and sporadic roaches that no amount of chemicals could remove.

Comment: Management is a nightmare. The parking is limited you won’t be able to find a spot after 5pm. They promote having laundry on site but all their machines stay consistently broken. One time they painted fire lane lines without emailing any tenants and towed everyone who was parked there. On move in day they didn’t give me my mail key or my parking pass bc they said my dog was restricted even tho they didn’t mention or provide paperwork beforehand about a restricted breed list. Then after move out they tried to charge an extra months rent and didn’t waive it until I threatened legal action. I moved out in May and still have nightmares about this place.

Comment: I lived here for one year and that was too long. The complex is loud and not very clean. The laundry machines are often broken and not fixed in a timely manner, and maintenance requests go unacknowledged. Many of the units had roof leaks last winter due to all the rain, and we had a water spot on our ceiling that was never fixed. Inside, the units get scorching hot in the summer and absolutely frigid in the winters, due to poor insulation and no central heat (just one small heater in the main room). And the walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything your neighbors do. I do not recommend living here.

Sadly where there’s one there is definitely more. Was really hoping to move here but definitely turned off. Will be living elsewhere.

Comment: Coral Bay Apartments stands as a stark example of misrepresented living standards. The units, supposedly remodeled, are poorly cleaned, built with thin walls allowing constant disturbances from neighbors, and turn into furnaces during the summer. The presence of open trash cans in the parking lot is not only unsightly but also a beacon for homeless individuals, leading to concerns over safety and cleanliness. The laundry facilities are perpetually filthy and broken, with items often stolen, a situation exacerbated by their accessibility to homeless people. Dealing with the management’s indifference and the infuriating overcharges during move-out were the closing chapters of our regretful stay. Prospective tenants, be wary and thoroughly reconsider before signing a lease here.

Comment: Living at Coral Bay Apartments in Claremont was a parade of disappointments. The claimed “remodeled” units were nothing more than superficially cleaned spaces with cheap, broken windows and thin walls, allowing every sound from our neighbors to permeate, obliterating any semblance of privacy. The sweltering summer heat within the units, exacerbated by the lack of any breeze, made staying inside unbearable. The open trash cans in the parking area are an invitation to homeless individuals, impacting safety and cleanliness severely. Moreover, the laundry facilities are frequently out of order, take an eternity to be repaired, and items have been stolen. Plus, the uncleanliness of these facilities is appalling, due in part to being accessed by homeless individuals. To top it off, the management is unresponsive unless confronted directly in person. I strongly advise potential tenants to think twice before choosing Coral Bay.

Comment: Because of my leasing agent Katie I had a very pleasant move in experience! She is an absolute PRO with excellent Customer Service skills and top notch Sales ability! She made what could have been a stressful situation as easy and smooth as possible. The whole leasing team is very friendly and helpful. If you are polite to them and treat them with the respect and consideration that they deserve they will go above and beyond for you as a tenant! Do recommend, 10 out of 10!

Comment: Would give zero stars if it was an option.Employees never give you a call back, or respond to emails(I’ve sent over 20). They truly do not care and exhibit greedy and irresponsible behavior without a care in the world. Apartments are falling apart, amenities are over crowded, and it is not a safe place to live. Steer clear of this awful place

Comment: Katie Long was our leasing agent - absolutely phenomenal! I was stressing trying to find a good apartment in a good area for my 2 college kids. Other properties acted as if they were doing me a favor. Katie is knows her stuff, is professional, courteous and provides timely and accurate information and responses. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Katie. She made a stressful situation easy to handle.

Comment: No apartment complex is perfect and Coral Bay is no exception. But I will say the staff and the management, specifically Erica, are top notch. If ever there’s a problem she handles it quickly and professionally. She is so understanding and communicative, she makes life so much easier. I love my place and recommend Coral Bay to anyone.

Comment: The parking here is garbage. Even if you’re a tenant you won’t ever find parking. Had to park in the neighborhood over once and got followed by a man when walking over a mile back to my apartment. Thank god my fiancé met me half way. If you ever want to have guests over- forget about it, they’ll never find parking. Had a sprained ankle and had to park in a nearby corner spot and got towed for it. They are not accommodating for anyone with disabilities what so ever. Save your money and splurge a couple extra dollars for the apartments across from Bayhill. They at least have assigned parking.

Comment: I think I share the reviews with most of the people on this thread. The apartments are at a great location but management is THE WORST. I lived outside the country for a few months and for some reason previous management couldt get automatic payment set up for me. I was ok with it I had to give in person or mail a check. One month I mailed a check late and now I am charged with lawyer fees. If you dont believe me just try giving them a call. I called and called and left voice mails. Lets see if they answer you after the 10th call if you say you are a resident.I didnt believe all the previous reviews but now I do.

Comment: Currently live here and the outlets are a hazard. One almost set fire to my apartment this morning and the technicians had no solution other than what I had plugged into it was the problem. They couldnt tell me if the outlet would burn again or cause a fire. Anything past plugging in a night light to an outlet in this apartment is too much power.

Comment: THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!First off, there hasnt been a fitness center since COVID. I have NEVER seen a movie theater there. The laundry facilities are broken constantly. Im in the Navy and was told I would be relocating on one date, but of course it was later. I paid for the month anyway and talked to assistant manager Erica who told me as long as I was out by the 27th I wouldnt be charged anything for the next month. I was out by then and thoroughly cleaned and got paint from maintenance for touch ups. Erica called and said the apt was scheduled for remodel so I wasnt going to owe anything and would get my full deposit back. I then received a bill for over 2k. She denied ever having any contact with me or making any such promises or arrangement despite having a voicemail from her about the 27th move out date. When all was said and done, I ended up owing $100. Apparently all of my deposit went on the next months rent plus I was nickel and domed all over the invoice including being charged for a key fob to the gym which I turned in when they closed the work out center.

Comment: I moved from northern California and originally saw my apt with Brian, but upon arriving in San Diego, found out that nothing was as we discussed or I had toured. The next morning I went to the office and was taken care of by Katie who was an absolute gem. She was so friendly and helpful and so was the apartment manager who got me a new apt within an hour. The gym, pool, and grounds are well kept and clean. I love my apartment, however, my only complaint is the plumbing and laundry facilities. I have to had matinence and/ or a plumber come out once a week for clogging and overflowing toilets. Come to find out from neighbors this is a constant problem. which isnt the worst thing Ive ever had to deal with and matinence is quick and speedy with both responding to my requests and fixing the issue. The laundry situation is a bit frustrating, as the driers never seem to work, however there is a coin laundromat just down the road so do with that what you will. For me, either way I have to take my laundry somewhere so it is what it is. Overall I am really enjoying the location and apartment. And if you go in the leasing office go to Katie!! Shes the best and has great local recommendations!

Comment: Katie helped me out a lot when I first moved here and was able to get me moved in within 2 days. She was highly approachable and professional. The pool facilities are great, and its a decent neighborhood. The price is manageable for the space and quality of the apartments. My complaints are that parking in the evening is impossible, and the laundry facilities are unreliable at best. I have to hang dry my laundry in the apartment. Traffic will keep you awake if you live towards the side of Clairemont drive, but otherwise, Ive lived in worse places.

Comment: This place is an absolute scam. They lie about their amenities and their infrastructure is literally old and crumbling. Further, they refuse to act on any potential security threats and discrepancies. The management team actively tried to avoid and ignore emails from tenants when a legitimate problem is presented to them. They are unorganized, unprofessional and do not care about doing their jobs. Overpriced and under managed. Save your money.

The amenities are large, roomy, and clean at all times, gym, pool, BBQ areas, basketball/tennis court, you name it. If the lush trees, gardens, and apartments havent convinced you, contact Naiza Castro, one of the best if not THE best person Ive spoken with, she can give you a quick tour and explain the very smooth and easy process.

Comment: We lived here for a little over a year, for context.Pros: Great location (close to the bay, freeway, and stores), good amenities, very dog friendly (dog run, dog poo stations, pretty neighborhood for walks), awesomely big windows for breeze and natural light, no issues with bugs at all, the price was lower than other locations of similar quality, maintenance team was awesome, and the office was quick and smooth with sorting paperwork during the move in and the move out. Move out was easy; they made it clear what costs would be present and it was easy to ensure we got some of our deposit back. The jacaranda trees around the complex are a bonus too!Cons: Laundry machines were often down (only 2 of our 4 washers were running during our entire lease), parking was a nightmare after 5pm because there arent enough parking spaces, the windows are not double-paned so you will get a lot of condensation when its colder outside (this caused mold around the windows), packages are often delivered to the wrong apartment or are immediately stolen, non-residents dig in the dumpsters 24/7 and sometimes sleep in the laundry rooms, and the office often did not respond to calls or emails--when they did respond, I was typically given different information from different workers.

Comment: SAVE YOURSELF AND DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF MOVING HERE. First off any positive reviews on here that you see of happy tenants just moving in, it is on the required list of things to do when you move in. 2nd when you are inquiring they dont let you see the apartment due to covid which mind you is the ONLY apartment complex that does that, wonder why that is? Living here has been nothing but a headache. The amount of crime that takes place IE: packages being stolen, clothes stolen out of the communal laundry area is not okay let alone the amount of homeless people digging through trash cans on a regular basis. With how difficult they made it to move in here this all came to a huge surprise. Due to Covid my partner was laid off but has been collecting EDD so we chose to have a Cosigner. They said I had to make 4x the rent or had to have a guarantor that made $80,000 a year and wouldnt take my salary into consideration as a joint filing which made no sense. And when you do have questions expect to be tossed around to several office ladies where youll hear different requirements each time. This has been the WORST complex Ive ever lived in in any city or state. Rent at your own risk.

Comment: My girlfriend and I recently moved into Coral Bay Apartments. We were strapped for time to find an apartment and Naiza was so helpful, patient and very understanding during the process. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the unit we wanted. We are so happy living in this community and very grateful. The property is awesome. Everyone is so friendly, great location, huge fan of the amenities. The only downside is parking can be a nightmare. But other than that, we love it and can definitely see ourselves living here for a long time.

Comment: Not even worth one star… These apartments had my hopes up high even though they are small and out dated…sorry they do have new appliances but it doesn’t make up for the Awkward lay out the living room that has a built in self/desk area …you only have an option to put your t.v on one wall….This place Would have been so Convenient( keyword) for myself and my family to Reside here, but they didn’t rent to me. I feel like they were not knowledgeable with working with section 8, didn’t want to do their Due diligence and or lied about why they couldn’t rent to me..So if you have a voucher check out the Mission Valley area needless to say way better Communities

Comment: Lived here for 4 yrs. The neighborhood is nice and friendly. But the complex is becoming rundown. The laundry facilities have broken machines in each one.. and since they are outside its a hassle to walk around finding one that works. Its seriously the worst part of living there. Also the plumbing needs a whole system revamp. The sinks and tub would be clogged with the dishwasher water because its all connected and neighbors above or below you will have the same issues. They come to fix it but its the same issue over and over not being properly fixed.

Comment: I relocated to work in SD, and was looking for a place to stay. The overall touring, quoting, deciding, background screening, and moving in was done within 3 days (Shout out to Naiza Castro, she was really helpful when it comes to getting work done during a weekend). Which worked out really well in my interest. The least length is same across the board was 13 months, so this is the place I call home for the next 12 months incoming. Lived here for 2 weeks, so far the community is friendly and tranquil. Parking can be very unpredictable if you are coming home late like me, sometimes I got to park in the road ways. Even though parking pass is given, but it is just always packed in the residential parking areas after hours, so I ended up spending a lot of time looking for parking spaces. Other than that, so far so good.

They are located outside the units and it’s a far walk, only to get there and at least 1 washer and 1 dryer are broken if not all of them. Then you need to trek to find a room that has one that’s working. For the high rent that we pay, THIS IS ABSURD!. There have been complaints made and reports that the office is getting them fixed but for almost 2yrs NOTHING has really happened but more machines being broken, bathtubs and sink clogging up. We got tired, we have moved. RUN!!!!!!

Comment: After a whirlwind apartment search in San Diego, partially conducted from the east coast with a fast deadline, the staff at Coral Bay were extraordinarily helpful, easily accessible, and wonderfully efficient in our application, leasing and move in process. Our family is extremely grateful for the prompt, friendly, and helpful customer service provided by Doris, Jayme, Amber, and other staff members, relating to questions/issues both big and small. On move-in, the apartment was clean, updated, and exactly as we expected. I highly recommend this patient, professional, and communicative leasing office staff at Coral Bay.

Comment: Read the reviews. They beg you to do a review after you move in. Literally, beg you through emails and phone calls to leave a review about your move in process and to mention your leasing agents name who helped.But the office upper management is beyond neglectful and incompetent with the most simple things such keeping up with our paid/shared amenities like our laundry facilities. They can’t even provide us with any kind professional communication, especially when asked to just provide simple timelines when facilities will be fixed and paid amenities will be available to use. Melissa S. the assistant manager has lied to me stating the facilities being cleaned and have completed necessary repairs and she has walked the property herself to see it. To the point where the manage Ly B. the Office Manger had to go and walk the property herself to see her own assistant manager caught in a lie to the residents. Ly reached out to me and apologize on her assistants behalf. We’ve put in multiple maintenance/service requests since the time we’ve moved in May of 2020 for our closest laundry facility only having 2 of 4 washing machines in working/usable order. It’s been 16 months and still to this day there are only 2 of 4 washing machines in working/usable order. I’ve reached out to Melissa countless times regarding this issue and asked for the most simple communication of a timeline when it will be fixed and to keep me updated, this most recent time was on 8/4/21, but like always I have not heard anything back, this time being a month later now. It’s a shame the management here is so neglectful and incompetent with such simple things like keeping the paid and shared amenities in working order. On the plus side the landscape here is nice and the apartments is close to the 5 and surrounding areas. There’s a whole lot of negatives about this place you will come to find very quickly. Look elsewhere to rent.

Comment: Apartments are beautiful. Area is nice & convenient. Dog friendly is a plus. However, the parking (or lack of) is a constant issue, the laundry rooms remain either filthy &/or have broken machines, & the lack of actual assistance with that from our leasing office is a joke. Also, our outdoor amenities, such as the tennis & basketball courts still remain closed, despite several requests to open, & when asked about reopening, they have responded with vague answers & zero timeframe as to when anything will be fixed. Beyond frustrating. Look elsewhere…

Comment: Terrible management from the office. The restoration on the apartments are bad, the paint started peeling off 2 months into our move. Theyre also horrible to the tennants. Its the day after the 4th of July, a lot of people have the day off, so they decide to close the community pool and the gym with no heads up. The parking situation is also terrible. You get a parking pass but that doesnt mean anything as there is no assigned parking and 90% of the available spots are in the streets. The parking lot that they do have is also inconvenient and they dont even tell you about it.***Update. They never reached out to discuss my complaints ***

When I called Coral Bay to see if there were any 2 bedroom apartments available, Doris answered and scheduled us a tour for that same day. By the next day we were signing our lease. She made the move in process very quick and helped us every step of the way with what we needed to secure the apartment. Excellent fast and friendly service!

Comment: These are older apartments and so not perfect in appearance, and have a few flaws, but the location is fantastic! Walking distance to Sprouts, less than a mile to the bay, minutes to the beach. The location is so good that this is the third time we have chosen to live here over the last 25 years (we move a lot). If you come to check these apartments out, be sure to ask for KATE - she helped us get into our new place smoothly and professionally during the pandemic. In our experience, the office staff is really helpful. Especially kudos to Kate!!

Coral Bay is also right next to Tecolote Canyon which is great because I love going hiking and being close to nature.There is so much to do right around Coral Bay that you don’t even need a car! Shopping places to eat and also great coffee shops within walking distance to get my morning coffee. All this and more is available to me! I feel so lucky to have found Coral Bay!

Comment: I (Shivam Parimal) lived at Coral Bay from October 2019 - October 2020Pros:- Very nice location- Maintenance requests were always fulfilled very quicklyCons:- Parking situation is terrible. There aren’t enough spots so if you arrive home after 6pm, you’ll have to park on the street and it could potentially be up to a mile away from your apartment. You can get a garage for $85 per month which is kind of a rip-off.- The walls are paper thin. I could literally hear my upstairs neighbor snoring constantly.- When I moved in, the apartment was infested with ants and spiders. They were crawling out of the bathtub and out of every little nook and cranny in the apartment. Because the whole place is carpeted it can be hard to see them.- People steal your packages from your doorstep constantly.- If you ignore all of the above concerns, the apartment itself is okay. It’s certainly livable. But the management is delusional about the state of the apartment. They give you a place with cracks on the walls/ceiling, cracks between the siding of the wall and the carpet where bugs crawl out of, damaged window blinds, and then when you move out, they charge you for these defects that were there before you moved in. Do they think they gave me some luxurious apartment? When I had my pre-inspection before move-out, the maintenance guy told me that my apartment was in excellent shape and that it looked like I’d just moved in. Considering that it was ant-free when I turned in my keys, I’d say I returned it in an even better condition than I found it, but I only received $300 back on my security deposit. I kept your apartment in great shape and it’s unacceptable for you to retain my security deposit for repairs that were needed before I even moved in.- Management is writing fake reviews. The 5-star review you see from Amber Ofcharik? She works there- she’s a leasing agent. They also ask you to leave good reviews when you move in, hence many of the 5-star reviews.Unfortunately, I was unable to visit in-person before leasing and I needed a place ASAP, but please find somewhere else to live if you can.

Comment: EDIT: used to be a fan of this complex, that was until they decided to call in tow trucks to patrol the parking lot at midnight looking for cars to tow. Mine was one of them, and the towing company conveniently offers a “special discount” for residents of Coral Bay. It’s a clear scam in which both parties get a cut.Doris was a great help when moving in during difficult times with covid. Some of the amenities are beginning to reopen, including the pool and hopefully gym soon as well. Amazing views of the San Diego bay and it’s nice being so central in a large county and close to freeway access.

Comment: The only good thing about this apartment is the location, otherwise have had nothing but problems. There is not enough parking spaces for the amount of apartments, so you will end up having to pay $85/mo for a garage. Utilities are constantly being shut off (water and power) with no notice ahead of time. Laundry machines are frequently out of use and take months to get fixed. No matter how much you clean, mold is a constant issue in the apartment. Also, the construction noise while working from home is unbearable. People who work in the office are very friendly, but really do nothing to resolve issues.

Comment: Amber, my leasing agent, has been super kind, patient and helpful throughout my out of state move-in experience.Coral Bay has everything already thought out when it comes to the needs of tenant’s, they have instructions to refer to when moving in and you can pay rent right online.The apartment complex is quiet, clean, and friendly.The pool and picnic area is huge and there is plenty of room to enjoy the amenities. One huge plus is there is more than one laundry room. The laundry rooms are located near my apartment and I don’t ever have to wait for a washer/dryer.

Comment: Looking at moving. I called the leasing office and had spoken with Amber. She was very professional and great to talk to. She took her time to answer my questions. Ambers manner was calm and professional. The apartment location is very close to the local freeways and shops. If you are looking to move, here ask for Amber! She is great to deal with! 👍

Comment: I just moved in a couple of days ago and Amber Ofcharik made it super easy to do so. I had a couple issues within the first day or two. The first night I noticed roaches and the second night I came home from work, went to take a shower and the bathroom was flooded from the sink leaking as well as the sink in the kitchen was leaking underneath. As soon as I called maintenance there was someone at my place within 10 minutes to try and fix it. I had also mentioned to them at that time about the roaches and the following morning (on a Saturday) I received a phone call first thing letting me know that they are having both issues addressed Monday morning. Throughout all of this Amber was really helpful and seems happy to help with any questions or concerns and follows up to make sure those concerns are taken care of.

Comment: Doris is amazing! My boyfriend and I moved in a few days ago, and Doris has been so welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process. She is very knowledgeable about the apartment complex and surrounding areas, and has been very supportive. She made us feel comfortable and confident in making the decision to move here. The company is very lucky to have her!

Comment: Pros:-Big windows and lots of natural light.-Our unit had an upgraded kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.-Big pool and nice gym-Walking distance to Sprouts and a few restaurants. Close driving distance to Mission Bay and the 5.They ask for reviews and get rewarded for positive reviews, so keep that in mind when looking at 5 star reviews from people who just moved in.Cons:-Very noisy. Thin, squeaky floors and lots of street noise like motorcycles, sirens, car alarms. Too loud for me to work from home and interrupted my sleep a lot.-Not enough parking. I sometimes had to park a 15 minute walk away.-Things broke a lot (but they did fix them quickly). Our cabinet doors kept falling off the hinges and the windows popped out of the frame.-Security is iffy. One morning a homeless person was sleeping outside our front door. We called the security patrol and they told us they are not 24 hours and it was their off hours so they wouldnt do anything. We also had random people try to open our door at night. Sometimes multiple times in one week.-Communication with the office is inconsistent. They responded quickly to maintenance requests. Anything related to money forget about it. When my dog died they wouldnt believe me and it was very difficult to get pet rent taken off. When we moved out they charged us a $50 non-compliance fee. I had to ask what that was for and they said for not having renters insurance, but we did have renters insurance.

Comment: We just moved into coral bay and like it so far. we moved from small town Iowa so it was a big move and we signed before we even saw the apartments.Giving this 3 stars because renting during the pandemic was extremely stressful due to coral bays new procedures to new move-ins, parking is very high in demand and apartments don’t have AC (is this a thing in California?? No idea).However, our leasing consultant, Amber Ofcharik was great. Definitely recommend working with her if you are looking at renting here!

Comment: Coral Bay Apartments is a great community. Conveniently located minutes from the 5 freeway, shops, and restaurants. Super dog friendly, but well kept and fairly quiet for such a large apartment complex. Amber Ofcharik from the leasing office was so helpful and sweet! She found the perfect one bedroom/one bath for me and my pup.

Comment: I knew Coral Bay was a great choice when apt. hunting, the size of the units, location. Its all relative and parking is tight all over the beach areas at night. I was worried it might be too young of a complex to fit into, nice looking, fit, working young people with big dogs and nice cars, but I was made to feel comfortable right away. Leasing office was phenomenal, super sharp women who take organizational skills to a new level!!!

Comment: First off, Coral Bay wasnt even on my list of ones to look it. My parents and I actually looked nearby at others that were way more pricey for more cramped layouts. We were driving by this complex, or should I say neighborhood {its huge!}, and it was in my mind as we went to look at others. We finished our search and nothing was screaming at me to move in right away. So, since we were still in the area my mom had me call Coral Bay up and they said I can come right in {cant remember who answered but she was very nice}.I walked into the leasing office and was helped by Jessica. She was sooo nice through the whole process and was quick to answer all of our questions, especially my dads because he can be a bit much sometimes. She gave us a full tour of the community and eased my moms worries, as this is my first time moving out on my own. We got all of the info for me to apply and proceeded to go home. While in the car, I couldnt stop thinking about this place and my mom said I really like it. I would want to live here if I was looking for an apartment. That pretty much sold me. If she was happy with it, then I was. We immediately turned around and I filled out the application. Two days later..I was approved and the process started! Im finally moved in and I couldnt be happier. It can get quite cold in the apartment, but I love the cold so no complaints there. The area is AMAZING cause its so close to the bay and also right by Clairemont, which was my second home during nursing school.Thank you so much to everyone for making this process easy and a big shout out to Jessica! You were such a ray of sunshine in the leasing office. Thank you, thank you!

Comment: Me and my family start living in coral bay over 5 months We can’t wait to live this place, too many problems. We can’t sleep at night,we called and talk about the situation one of the girls working on the office she keeps saying she will send them a paper but nothing else can do. Maintenance enter your Appartment with out your permission or requesting, and molds all over the bathroom and windows, laundry machine broke over a month, dog sh...t every where it seems like no body cares ones you start living there. Not recommended this place it just a waste

Comment: I moved into Coral Bay almost 2 weeks ago. It was a hard decision to move from my previous neighborhood, but I got tired of living in old beach cottages with no amenities. There are TONS of amenities here and the apartments are spacious and refinished beautifully. I love my new apartment and want to thank Amber in the leasing office for all her help with getting me situated. She went above and beyond and did a GREAT job with my move in!

Comment: I lived at coral bay a little over a year. After being there 1 year they raised the rent by almost $300. The way they also handle your deposit is also wrong. They had one of there maintenance guys do an inspection before we moved out and he said everything looks fine. But I got less than half my deposit. How could that be if the maintenance said everything was fine?

Comment: A good place for dogs. I loved how much greenery was around the apartment. Prices were pretty good, deposit was extremely low and they were pretty fair with what they took out (though I am still waiting for the money back for my parking pass), unlike some other shadier companies.The apartment had some minor issues that I didnt bother to call maintenance about, but the one time I did have an emergency it took them two days to take care of it, and even then they just used a temporary fix that had to be fixed again a few days later.

Comment: I LOVE this place!!! Im so happy moving here, I moved in 2 months ago and have nothing but good things to say. The area is perfect and near everything. You can see the ocean from my kitchen and bathroom window. You can pay rent online which is wildly convenient. Trash and water is reasonably priced. The only negative was a little plumbing issue but maintenance came the next day and fixed it in like 5 min. So not really a negative. I hope to renew my lease when its up I really like it here!

She was very professional and prompt to return my phone calls and emails, always having an answer available for me and took the stress away from moving in. Im very happy with the pool, gym, and laundry facilities. Maintenance is always quick to handle anything that goes wrong, and they are also very professional and friendly. Its quiet throughout the community and always just relaxing to come home. If youre reading this and interested in moving here I definitely recommend calling the office and asking for Lani. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. This is a great community of dog lovers and all my neighbors are polite. They landscape often and its such a great location.

Comment: Being that our credit wasnt too good in the past we are grateful for being approved pretty quickly. Upgraded kitchen is nice, good size living room, but the bedrooms are real small! If you have a Queen bed with night stands only one night stand will fit as pictured on their site. Not much walk around space and closets are small. Were a family of 3 but only one dresser fits in each bedroom. There is only one wall heater so the bedrooms are cold at night. If you need to store you definitely should get a garage. As for the parking if its after 5pm plan on parking down the block, thats the most frustrating after a long work day. The walls are thin as we could hear the neighbors t.v. and baby crying across the way. Neighbors are friendly, staff is friendly, very close to the schools which helps alot! Family friendly with play ground, pool, movie entertainment, gym, free zumba and yoga. Theres pros and cons here, but overall am glad they gave us a quick approval which we needed at the time. Good luck!

Comment: I read an appalling review and then I see somehow Coral Bay Apartments must have sent out a message to their tenants for them to leave 5 Star reviews to bury the bad review.I honestly wish I would have read a review that included their bait and switch tactics before I began to look at apartments at Coral Bay Apartments.I had the same experience another perspective tenant had!The location is convenient, however the management is horrible regardless of what reviews you are reading.I suppose if you want to settle for a lower class apartment complex, living next to lower class people, being serviced by lower class staff...then this is the place for you.Very glad I decided not to move here, especially after reading about how your packages are stolen from your doorstep. You mean with about a thousand units they cant come up with Amazon pods for delivery?This is what Im speaking about when Im speaking about lower class establishment and Lower Class People.You are nothing but a number to Coral Bay Apartments they dont care about you unless they get a bad review and then they definitely want your review to bury the truth about their management practices.I sincerely suspect that Im going to get a blanket answer, a blanket response, and nobody will actually reach out to me because they dont care.If I can offer this place a negative rating, I most certainly would. I feel awful for the other people who have had bad experiences. I cant imagine in such a ghetto apartment complex with careless leasing agents - who dont even wash their hair - that you would receive so many 5 stars...Unless the people who are leaving five star reviews come from a trailer park and a Section 8 welfare housing low income looking development in Clairemont is a complete upgrade for them.I would imagine those are the people who are leaving five star reviews. However, if you have standards - I wouldnt even waste your time with a phone call to this horrible apartment complex with fluctuating rent.The price is not as marked, they will change it whenever they feel like it because they have no integrity.There are better places to contact, places with a higher level of quality and customer service.

Comment: I just moved in a little over a week ago and overall it’s been a good experience. Brianna was our leasing agent and she was great about answering all of our questions. The whole staff has been helpful, but especially Cherrie! Cherrie helped us sort out a difficult issue regarding moving into a different unit than we originally put our deposit down for and assisted with other situations regarding renting a garage and making sure our mail wasn’t going to the previous unit we originally were planning on moving into. Not only has she made moving in an easier experience, but she’s also been incredibly nice and friendly!Pros: Great location, roomy one-bedroom layout, pet-friendly, has a gym, pool, and laundry room on-site, and a helpful staff.Cons: Parking is pretty bad and the garages are pretty narrow and oldschool (manual with a lock).

Comment: CONSUMER / SCAM ALERT: Unless you have section 8, I highly suggest not wasting your time looking at this place at all! Coral Bay Apartments will advertise a unit at a certain price. You will go online to pay $45 for the application, and the $90 to hold the until lease signing. The $90 is supposed to lock in the price. They will then tell you the unit you originally wanted at the original advertised price is now priced higher. Even though you locked in the price, you have no choice but to pay the higher price if you want the unit aka RENTER NIGHTMARE!I initially called and set up a tour in Sep. I told the agent the lease was not going to be in my name but I was going to be an occupant and gave them my boyfriends name/ contact number & email as well as my name & number.We decided we were going to wait on moving because the unit we initially wanted wasnt the right fit and didnt do the tour.Eventually we did a tour & waited months to find the right unit in the location of the complex we were looking for. Finally the unit comes up on their website. It is a Canyon = it has the older brown cupboards, yet in the description it said it was an upstairs corner unit with upgraded cabinets. When we called the office they said it also had a screen door on it.My guy acted upon it immediately! It was in the exact area we were looking for, across from the office and gym. We were waiting for an upstairs corner unit, and would have paid for a Park or a Summit if the price was reasonable. Their prices fluctuate on a day-to-day basis. If you are patient, you can find the unit you are looking for at the price point you want - especially if youre looking to be a long-term tenant. In theory this is how it works... in theory.He paid the $90 to hold the unit. We started getting ready for our move after his application approval.Getting ready for a move is a costly expense, including storage unit, and also letting your landlord know you will be moving out.Just a few days ago he was told, via email, he cannot have this unit.He called in.He was told it had a few maintenance issues. Considering that my partner is a licensed plumbing contractor, there isnt really any issues he wouldnt know about in an apartment and know the time frame to fix it. He offered to wait for the apartment. They told him it wouldnt be available and if it was it would be at a higher price.They offered him a different unit, in a different area of the complex at a much higher price.He told them he wanted THIS unit and he wanted to wait for it, they gave him every excuse as to why he couldnt have it.He asked for the money back, and an hour later we found the SAME unit online for a $250 higher price for the SAME move-in date we already had.Of course the apartment complex was notified of their scandalous ways, and within minutes the date of the move-in for the unit was changed online to February 2nd and the price was reduced lower - but not to the price we had originally locked in.This means we were being told lies.Not only that but it was false advertisement because the unit was not a corner unit, it was an interior unit, the unit they were describing with a screen door was across from it and I highly doubt that the unit we had selected came with upgraded cabinets - since everything else we were told about the unit was misleading. We can only assume that they wanted to hold onto the unit longer in order to upgrade the cabinets, which is why they wanted to charge us more money for the unit.Either way its a bait-and-switch, false advertisement and a scam to get you to pay more money.This will also be posted on other review sites. The public should know.

Comment: I have lived at Coral Bay for nearly a year. The facilities (for the price) are phenomenal. The staff and maintenance crews are friendly and attentive (namely Brianna and Cherie from the office staff, and the handymen who work here too). I recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort for a 2 bed for $1600-1700 a month minus bills.Downsides exist: the water bill is high! We don’t use our dish washer and are two guys who take quick showers and we spend $35+ a month on water. I think neighboring apartments are under one meter which means if your neighbor uses a lot you are billed for it.Parking can be difficult. If you get back to your apartment after 11:00pm by car regularly expect to walk half a mile from an available space. Before 10:30pm I almost always get a decent spot.The floorboards can be LOUD. Try and get an upstairs apartment.But overall, gym, jacuzzi, cheap fast internet ($40 AT&T packages here for a LOT of GB), coral bay apartments office a walk away, clean neighborhood, and maintenance work orders that are dealt with within a few days. It’s a great place to live.

Poor communication skills, 0 customer service skills, both are very dismissive and inconsiderate... They will find every way to never return your deposits so dont count on getting a deposit. The interiror desigbs are purely horrible. The off-gasing in new apts are atrocious. The only pluses are the pool areas. But parking too is horrible even if you have a permit. I often have to park at least 2 blocks

Comment: I just moved in 4 months ago and realized right away what a terrible decision I made. When you come to see the apartments, they will only show you a model so you assume that the apartment you get will be similar. Wrong - the apartment I got is just gross. The appliances are from the 90s, the carpet is old and dingy, the bathroom is ridiculously small, it looks directly out onto a courtyard on both sides and to other apartments on either side so you have no privacy and hear every little noise going on. On top of that, you can only get ATT for your service and my service has been interrupted three times already, thereby requiring an ATT repair guy to come out so that means ~1 week with no internet, waiting for them to come. The ATT guy said that this is typical for new renters because other tenants apparently steal the cables and divert it to their apartments (?)! Additionally, the trash cans are always overflowing, there are homeless people digging through them or milling about the laundry area. For parking, there is nowhere to park after 530 PM within 4 blocks of your apartment so I had to pay additional rent for a garage but the garages are ridiculously right AND they arent even electric - you have to get in and out of your car to open and close the door, which is ridiculous for the price your paying for everything. Their idea of an upgrade was to replace the old brown garage doors with, just as ugly, new brown garage doors. I have never hated an apartment this much and am even considering breaking the lease at this point to move, even though I will only be San Diego for another 8 months. Dont move here!!

Comment: I worked with Doris during our move in process and she was absolutely phenomenal! She was courteous, professional and very welcoming. She made sure we understood everything and was very quick to respond to all our questions. She ensured that we had everything we needed before we got the keys but was never pushy or impatient. She was amazing! We havent been living here for long, but I already love the amenities. The pool is awesome, the other tenants are pretty laid back from what I can tell and all my neighbors are quiet and courteous. The dog run is awesome and the location in general is just great - minutes away from fiesta island and mission bay park. I have only had an issue with parking once so far because we got back at 10:30 pm, luckily after driving around for a bit, someone pulled out and we were still able to park somewhere pretty close to our apartment

Comment: Not worth the amount you pay to live here. Over $2k a month for a little 2bd apartment, there is never any parking (even with the parking permit - there is never anywhere to park), you have to pay extra for the water sewer trash, the laundry is super expensive & a long walk, never any available washers/dryers or theyre always broken, there is one place to put money on the laundry cards, which is always broken. For the amount you are charging ppl to live in this ridiculous place to park a mile away & pay a ton more for water sewer trash, faulty & expensive laundry, you could at least keep the laundry maintained and have more machines to pay so we dont all have to keep walking far away to a broken machine each time. Way too expensive for the quality. Also no one picks up their dog poop. Literally everywhere in the grass, people leave their dog poop. Even on the sidewalk. It is disgusting. I had to go pick a ton of dog poop up from outside of my bedroom window because the smell was unbearable. Also, the garages are super small, I cant even park in mine because I have a Tahoe - not worth the extra cost. Dont move here! I cant wait to move!!

Comment: Love the location and Apt, has the worst parking situation ive ever experienced, if you plan on arriving home after 7pm youll have to walk 3+blocks.Editing my review down a few stars as Ive come to dislike a good amount of things they do, like refusing to give our friends the referral money because we didnt fill it out correctly despite the fact Gonzalo personally looked everything over and said it was correct.They also thinks its appropriate to start yard work at 8AM.

Comment: Coral Bay is an AMAZING place to live! All the leasing office staff are so kind! Our go to advisor Brianna is always very helpful! She make us feel like we matter and she is always very quick to respond! We love that she is dedicated to her work and takes those extra steps to communicate with us and the maintenance staff! The maintenance staff are also amazing they respond to all questions and concerns almost immediately! If they are delayed they will call ahead of time! They will also call if you are not at home when they arrive for the appointment time you have set up! Loving this place, and it is definitely our home!

Comment: Great place and vibe. Spend time in the hot tub and listen to music. Really getting to know people and talking. Making new friends. Clean area, when people pick up after theyre dogs, and really parked closer to every body there would be more parking but like they they say first come first serve. If you get home early enough you get good parking.

Comment: Apartment hunting is difficult and exhausting. Coral bay is a nice complex. Very community oriented and pet friendly. Rebekah cornog one of the leasing agents was so kind and helpful to me. Her positive and welcoming attitude really made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I will hopefully be moving in next week!

Comment: My review is five stars entirely because of Melissa & Ly in the office (and Doris!). These ladies have been incredibly helpful and I will likely renew my lease when my term comes up because theyve been so great to work with. The apartments themselves arent much to shake a stick at - theyre fairly basic, the utilities are OK but not great. The grounds are nicely kept, although a lot of people dont pick up their dogs poop which is less than fun. Lastly, parking stinks - but if you dont get in too late in the day, its alright.

Comment: I have been living this apartment for 9 months.Maintenance issues started happening the day I moved in...1. Garbage disposal was not working even before I use the kitchen.Finally, they replaced the old disposal machine to the new one after my few maintenance requests. (now is okay)2. During the winter time, I cannot use the heater machine that much because the power was out within few minutes.. You may need energy saving product to keep your power on..3. One day, I woke up at 4 am because I heard very noisy sound from the bathroom area. Water heater machine had some problem, so I had to call emergency maintenance. Maintenance people in and out all the morning time and they replaced the water tank(?). I could take a shower around 8:30, and late my work.4. Two days ago, there were heavy rain for few minutes. All of sudden, the ceiling started leaking. I was scared, so requested the maintenance, but havent hear from apartment yet....I wish I can upload water tank problem video as well....Living in San Diego for 9 years, Ive never requested these many things to the apartment office.I do not usually post my opinion on the online, but leaking water from few minutes heavy rain is pretty shocking to me...The apartment looks they try to make the community better, so updated laundry system, painted the apartment etc, but the most important thing is apartment itself, because we do not live here for watching the beautiful building.I still love the location, but I may move to the other apartment after my contract.

Comment: So me and my Husband just moved into Coral Bay and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the lovely and friendly Doris.*** Literally THANK YOU DORIS ***She’s gone above and beyond for us. I couldn’t have asked for a better leasing representative. She’s quick to answer all questions and concerns, was very open to explaining everything about the apartment. Even on the tour of the complex she listened to our wants and needs then at the end of the tour gave us 2 lovely apartments to choose from. Even though we were on a short time frame from moving in.For the price of a 1 bedroom apartment it’s not only affordable and spacious but has many lovely amenities.Inside OUR apartment came with a microwave so that was cool.There’s 2 mirror closest which is great, now I don’t have to worry about having a mirror.It’s really cool and chilly but there’s also a heater.Not to forget a lot of closet space.Now outside the apartment there’s also a few amenities.It’s got a pool and jacuzzi.There’s a gym but to be honest I’m not here for the gym mainly cause i have a gym membership so I don’t really care for that but it’s nice they have one.They’ve got a common area that you could use forSomething not sure what for but it’s there.Then there’s like a laundry rooms scattered all over the apartment.I love that this place is next to the beach but also within distance to downtown.I commute to Downtown Monday to Friday 7am-4pmThe great thing about this place is I NEVER DEAL WITH TRAFFIC, either on the way to work or back from work. Mainly cause I’m going against traffic which is great.So end of the story this place is great check out Doris if you want to be welcomed with excellent service and a welcome basket.Doris you’re the best!

Comment: Lived here for 6 wonderful years, when it came time to move out the management got me a refund on my remaining deposit in just over a week. Well before I was expecting anything. Only thing we were charged for was cleaning, which is pretty standard anywhere. I would highly recommend this community to anyone looking to live in this area and would return if my circumstances were different.

Comment: This is the worst apartment that I have ever lived. If there was a zero star I would definitely give a big 0. I just moved in and the apartment is so dirty. Parking is terrible, if you come home at 8 in the evening, you better pray for a parking spot because the average time for me to find a spot to park is 20 min ish. They only have AT&T service for the internet and I tried to get it installed, the technician from AT&T couldnt find signal and because the wire is too short to connect to the apartment in that area. I called the office and they told me they thats not their business. The customer service is so terrible. They only care if you pay the rent, with this kind of service, totally robber.

Comment: Lani in the leasing office has been so helpful through everything! I am a pretty picky individual about everything and no matter how naggy I am she is always so nice and understanding! the only complaint I would have about the complex is that there is a little bit of communication lacking between the residents and the maintenance. for example they dont give you a call when theyre on their way or tell you when theyre coming at all really.

Comment: Been living at Coral Bay almost a year and i have enjoy everyday, is close to everything a person needs to be comfortable. I will definitely renew my contract and keep enjoying the community and ammenities of the complex. The only reason i dont give it a 5 start is because there is no parking assignment and sometimes takes a little wor to find one, i havent had the miss fortune of not finding one close by, but is still a little bit of hassle not to have a designated one .

Comment: Moving is usually a pretty stressful process and I know this due to a career that has taken me to many different cities throughout my life.You can always count on having to fill out a fair share of paperwork with plenty of initials and signatures. And this is after the hours you’ve spent doing online searches and eventual viewings. The one thing that is not always consistent is the leasing agents whose job it is to help you with said paperwork / viewings. Not everyone is suited for the customer service field and it can be beyond disappointing when you have one of these individuals in charge of assisting you with your new home.My experience with Coral Bay so far has been exemplary! I received a prompt response to my online inquiry from Rebeckkah who sent available listings and some very helpful information about Coral Bay and the surrounding area. I was delighted that she was the same agent to greet my husband and I in the office at which point she took the time to discuss our needs, likes and dislikes so she could further narrow down the perfect rental for us. She was clearly very knowledgeable about the property and made us feel like we are making the right decision to live at Coral Bay. At no point did we feel bullied or pressured as I have experienced leasing agents who act like they’re in car sales.Thank you Rebeckkah! Your genuinely professional and friendly manner eliminated any doubts we may have had. We truly look forward to being a tenant of Coral Bay and your neighbor!

Comment: Lived here for over two years, overall a pleasantly quiet and functional place to live with the amenities it offers, which greatly surprised me since there are so many units. Love the location, as it is close to shopping centers and a short drive to the bay. Pros: Clean unit, plus for ability to paint, lots of storage space and a bonus for the option of an add on garage, efficient work done by service professionals. Cons: Not enough parking space for parking for residents, pool and gym area shared with nearby apartment complex, outdated equipment in gym, non functioning units in laundry facilities (which are now thankfully being upgraded), POOR communication between management office and service professionals, too many people walking dogs off-leash even though rules are on-leash—this definitely causes issues.

Comment: Do not under any circumstances move here. These criminals will take all of your deposit even after a thorough cleaning. I had them take off 2 sliding door mirrors because they were in the way. They had the nerve to charge me for them. There are dumb tenants there with horse dogs. They dont pick up after their dogs either. The whole place looks like a world war I barracks concentration camp. There are vagrants, winos, junkies, and weirdos that like to hang around that place. Dont, I repeat DONT move here. You will regret it.

Comment: Coming up on the end of our one year lease here and honestly it hasnt been so bad. My girlfriend and I moved down here in August 2016 from upstate and have had only a handful of negative experiences. Ill start with the good experiences; the neighborhood is pleasant given how big the complex is because lets be honest unless youre living in a house out in the perfect suburban neighborhood you will always have inconsiderate people who live near you. Also the maintenance is very responsive they come same day and always do quick work. As far as negative goes when we moved in we had to get rid of a couple waves of fleas but given this is a dog friendly complex its partially the dog owners responsibility to keep their pet clean. Secondly and most annoying is the parking situation, the spots they provide are not guaranteed its first come first serve and the street parking is pretty much non existent after 8pm. Last is just some minor things like the washer and dryers braking often and the locks to the doors not working which led to someone stealing our towels, the garbage dumpsters fill up and are often overflowing, they tow your car without notice or warning, and there is one man who works in the leasing office who is totally rude every time Ive had to deal with him but at least all the other employees are very pleasant. We will most likely be moving mainly because it is a little pricey for what you get I mean the pool, gym, and recreation amenities are nice but I would take a reserved parking spot over all of that; plus you have to pay all the utilities and the rent goes up when you renew so its just gonna be more expensive for the same stuff.

Comment: I called to get some information about relocating to the area and spoke with Melissa. She was nice and super informative. Ive called a lot of places and she was the most willing to work with me considering the distance. She didnt shrug me off like I was a waste of time (which has happened when calling other properties). Front office staff mean a lot when living somewhere and I feel confident I will be taken care of here and not treated like a probationer (which has also happened). Thank you, Melissa!!!!

I love the dog parks, and the 24 hour laundry rooms. The staff is super friendly. Lani is my go to lady in the office. always has an answer for me. And always gets my work orders put in promptly. The property is very green and maintained weekly. Not to mention im close to multiple beaches and the bay. so its all around an awesome place.

Comment: This review is long overdue. All I can say is, I love this place. We were originally living in Spring Valley which wasnt the best environment for us, so we did a little searching around and found Coral Bay Apartments. I spoke with Doris, she is an absolute sweetheart. She wasnt pressuring to make a quick sale or anything, these people truly care. Our entire move in process has been amazing, and the maintenance is quick to respond if you have an issue. So far so well!!!

Comment: I cant get out of here soon enough. In my 4 years living here my plumbing and heating never functioned properly. I had maintenance come in every couple months to snake my sink drains because they backed up to the bathroom and kitchen basins if I put too much water down at one time. The garbage disposal was replaced, but never worked. The drains always reek of sewage. My heater is from the 1950s. SDG&E claimed it a fire hazard and refused to turn the pilot light on. My technician said the apartment complex is full of the old heaters and the owners are aware, but arent replacing them. The buildings are run-down and not being properly fixed, my ceiling has cracks from the foundation that span from wall to wall. The apartment they walk you through is really nice and is a far cry from the apartment you actually end up with. They also have raised rent $100 every year on an already overpriced place. Continue your search, dont settle here like I mistakenly did.

Comment: This place is a joke, even more so then the parking. Have a car? Dont expect to park it here. Go on vacation? Go expect to be able to leave your car anywhere. Need help? Dont expect their TERRIBLE LEASING AGENTS TO DO ANYTHING. Are you a female? Be prepared to not feel safe and walk across a dark complex to find any parking after 7pm at night. 1000+ apartments with extremely limited 1st come 1st serve parking. Garage spaces not organized or assigned accordingly. The closest one to us was on the complete opposite end of the complex. I travel for work and am unable to leave my car- I must make OTHER ARRANGEMENTS for my car when I travel for more then 3+ days...seriously? WHAT A JOKE YOU ARE. So they have no garage space AND require someone to move their vehicle every 3 days. NONE OF THIS WAS MENTIONED BY THE LEASING AGENTS - when I did my initial walk through. needless to say I will NOT be renewing my lease here and I will tell everyone I see to STAY AWAY from these dishonest leasing agents If you have a choice in housing - I highly recommended avoiding Coral Bay Apartments, if anything bc of they are full of more BS then any place I have ever lived before

Comment: I have loved living here since Feb. Close to everything, pets are allowed- I dont have one yet but Im planning on it! I put in a service request last night and came home after work today to find everything fixed! Melissa Sandoval even left us a bag of goodies when we first moved in. Wonderful staff, quick service, excellent location and gorgeous grounds! I love laying by the pool and soaking in the hot tub, I even use the gym sometimes. I would absolutely recommend living here! (I took one star away for noise, I can hear my neighbors across the way even inside their apt sometimes, the guys upstairs might have an elephant and you can hear the cars drive by since our unit is close to Claremont Blvd., but then I turn the tv on or music and its fine ☺)

Comment: Finally moved out and I can say honestly say this place was horrible. No more roaches and mold on the walls and windows an paper thin walls with dramatic loud ass neighbors not to mention the terrible terrible parking situation....The leasing office also added on extra charges on our last bill (not at all surprising) so Id keep an eye on that in the unfortunate event that you signed a lease here. So happy to never have to step foot in this place again.

They have an easy deposit plan to help move in costs. Maintenance responds quickly and if urgent call or go in. It is one of a few still affordable apartments. Parking is not assigned and depending on your life and work this may or may not be an issue. My neighbors are nice and this also depends on you building anywhere you live. We are all families...and its nice. I recommend it here.

Comment: Ive recently moved to San Diego from Hawaii and Coral Bay apartments has been so accommodating. Melissa helped us move in and was very patient as we were still trying to figure out how to get certain documents that were necessary for the move in process. She was very quick to respond to us whenever we had any questions.The parking isnt great. There is a pretty large lot but since I work nights and the lots are full by 6ish I almost always park on the street. Where Im located street parking is always easy to find and always isnt that far. But I dont know if thats the same for other units.

Comment: My Husband and I have been living here for over a month now, Melissa has been our leasing agent and point of contact. Great customer service so far. Maintenance has fixed everything we have asked in a timely manner. The outside of our building needs some up keep. Moving in was very smooth. I would request to check out the apartment before finalizing anything. The location is great you have everything within 15 mins or less. We have a dog and its close to tons of dog parks. There is an onsite dog park thats decent. People need to work on picking up after there dogs around here. PARKING IS HORRIBLE! They need to get rid of some of the garages and replace it with permit parking only or mark spots on the street because theres always people spaced just enough where you cant fit. Overall its a good place with a nice pool and spa for the price.

Comment: I have been living at Coral not for so long, but my experience so far has been great. Tiffany was always helpful, since the beginning she was great and professional. Our requests for maintenance were successfully made.The only problem (which for me is a big issue) is parking, we got 2 parking permits, but if we get home after 7:30pm rarely we will find parking spot, so we have to park at the street, sometimes far away. I would really love if some solution was made, because sometimes I doubt that all the cars parked there really have a permit, or they give more permits than they should.

The location is good, closer to PB and the ocean than some other complexes.Laundry is close and open at convenient hours, the gym and pool are nice additions to the complex.Parking can be a bit rough but its not terrible. You can always get a garage if you need reserved spots.Overall, Im pleased. Again I just moved in so further reviews will be forthcoming.

Comment: The staff at Coral Bay has been very easy to work with, unlike any of my previous apartment complexes. If I have a maintenance issue, they will send someone ASAP to fix whatever problem, or replace it for no charge if they are unable to fix it (new, upgraded toilet!).Tiffany in the leasing office has been especially wonderful and helpful. She is the one who helped me rent my apartment, and whenever I have a question I email her and get an almost immediate, detailed response. It is nice to live somewhere that the employees actually care and make you feel welcome!Parking is a tough situation, even with a parking pass, but I know thats nothing anyone can really fix. At least they dont have street sweeping and make you move your car ever!

Comment: I called over 100 apartment complexes and I am extremely satisfied with having chosen to live at the Coral Bay Apartments while I attend Medical school. Their rates are affordable, they allowed me to move in with my 50 lb Husky dog, they have a very nice junior Olympic sized pool, im within a 5 minute drive of the beach and a Sprouts Organic Grocery store, plenty of bars and restaurants; its just awesome after moving here from Los Angeles. Parking might be a bit tricky to find sometimes but I always find a spot down the street from my apartment.Ive been reading quite a few negative reviews about their customer service and I simply have NOT experienced that since moving in. Dorris, who works at the leasing office, is one of the most friendly and professional people I have met, so be sure to set up an appointment with her. Do not let all the negative reviews deter you from at least checking this place out. Im very glad that I decided to live here and because I ended up liking it so much, I now wish to never go back to Los Angeles!

Comment: Look, all the bad reviews are from people who are easily fooled by nice model apartments & smooth talking leasing agents. If your considering moving into the Coral Bay just know a few things...there are close to 1,000 apartments & maybe 10 office staff, parking is no joke(seriously its like the hunger games), older apartments = bugs & plumbing is not the best. Cool thing about living in these apartments is that if you need help fixing something ie, your plumbing or bug problem, all you have to do is go to the leasing office, let them know whats going on & they will send someone to fix it. The office staff knows there are reoccurring problems & thats why they have a pest control man scheduled every Monday & have on site Maintanence crew. Today my tub wouldnt drain, I went to leasing office, gave one of the office staff my address & the guy was here in less than 30 mins & my clog was resolved in less than 10. These are some of the last apartments in San Diego that offer affordable rent at a very convenient location. Amenities are really nice too, love the pool & gym! Again these are older apartments & A LOT of people live here, theres bound to be some drama but you get what you pay for.

Comment: Dont be fooled by this place. Like most people, location is convenient to most parts of SD, and on the surface, apartment seemed updated (carpet, paint). In all the places I have lived over the years, this had to have been one of the worst. Like other reviews, wondering where to start.1. PARKING - It is seriously a joke. They give you a parking pass which guarantees absolutely nothing. There is not enough parking provided for even the minimal amount of residents. I work a normal 9 - 5, and there was a 4 week span I never got to park within 3 blocks of my apartment. Even worse, was you would hesitate going anywhere, because if you get home after 10pm, you will have a 10 min walk minimum.2. Plumbing / Waste - This seems a common place from what neighbors and other reviews have mentioned. So, over and over the pipes build up and you will be guaranteed to have sewage in you bathtub, sinks, etc. We even had one of the maintenance guys (friendly) mention to us the pipes are horrible here, so he would recommend never letting anything into the sink... like nothing.3. Laundry Facilities - I dont know how much money Ive lost on these. They are constantly broken (no, literally the unit next to me has 4 washers, and 1 has worked in the year Ive been here). If you ask Coral Bay Staff, they tell you Its owned by a private third party, so you will need to call them. - Firstly, I can understand subcontracting out a laundry company, but you STILL need to make sure they perform the most basic of maintenance. And, as you could guess, if you call the other party, they seem nice, and will send someone which seems to still have not arrived at my laundry unit.4. The office (leasing) Staff - Recently, they have decided to update all their online system (fine). In doing so, deleted all rental payment information, and caused tenants to lose option to pay online (fine, although you are going against your own contracts). We rarely use checks, so went and bought some, paid rent (we are done now, right?). Went to pay rent online the next month. Online system wouldnt work. Called. No answer. Left message. Tried re-creating the apartment log in. No longer recognized my unit. Called office next day. No answer. Left Message. No call back. (keep in mind, office is open 9 - 5:30 and I was working during those hours). Finally get off early to talk with them. They explain they had lots of errors, but since I was there they would re-enroll me. Great! Oh, by the way we are charging you $100+ in late fees. But WAIT - I tried to pay, but couldnt (via, you not supplying online payment per my contract), and called 4 times, left 2 voicemails, and got no calls back. Needless to say, talked to staff, then the manager Kisa Kruse, and all pretty much shrugged their shoulders, said Our bad, but we wont waive a late fee.To conclude, even if you are drawn to a slightly lower price and location, keep looking! Its been a nightmare 1 year living here!

Comment: Update on my experienceMe and my husband use to think this was a nice trustworthy neighborhood, but our car was recently broken into! Thankfully nothing major was stolen, but the more we talked to other people they have told us that there car was also broken into. Someone else got his two bikes stolen which he use to leave right outside his door. Be careful everyone!If you dont have a pet, you can definitely find nicer apartments.Pros:-They allow pets(no size/breed restrictions) for 35$ a month-Not a busy area, super quiet area-Has a small dog park-Has a decent gymCons-Poop everywhere!! I dont understand why! Coral Bay does provide trash bins and doggy bags at almost every block(pro), but no ever uses them.-The walls are very thin so be prepared to hear your neighbors talking when theyre outside-The carpets are super cheap, Ive lived here for less than a year and they are already coming off-Parking is a big issue at night. They do provide parking lots, but after 7-8 everythings full, even street parking.-Laundromats are pretty small so they are packed most of the time

Comment: Very poor customer service. Truthfully, the only time one gets excellent customer service is on the day one tours the model apartments (which btw are nothing like the real apartment) and agrees to rent. From move-in day onwards, if you have to deal with the leasing office you are screwed. They are not willing to investigate and rectify issues to keep the customer happy. Case in point, considering the number of times people have responded negatively towards the practice of not viewing the actual apartments, any business that cares about customer service would have already addressed this issue by changing this policy. So...I will write negative reviews about this place until everyone I know hears about how bad it is. I do not recommend. I cant wait for my lease to expire.

Comment: Here is the honest truth: The apartment is serviceable. Its expensive, but what apartment in San Diego isnt? The bathroom is a little small, livingroom is spacious, kitchen can get a little cramped, the rooms are decent-sized for a non-family and the closets are also on the small side. POSITIVES: great dog friendly environment, nice landscaping in certain areas, pool and gym are nice and community area is large and able to accommodate a large gathering. NEGATIVES: Overall small apartment, laundry on site is awful in my experience (dryer sucks ass, washer is small and 2 loads are necessary for almost all laundry events and loads are over-priced) dog poop is commonly scattered around, and the biggest drawback by far is PARKING. It is absolutely TERRIBLE. I wish I was exaggerating. There are 2500+ residents in this large community and I would guess there are less than 500 spots. If you arrive home from work after 7:00 pm, good luck finding a spot. You could get lucky, but more often than not, after 7:00 pm (and sometimes as early as 5) you are going to be hunting around for street parking with all of your neighbors and walking a long distance to your place. If you are a person who leaves frequently after work hours and comes back home, DO NOT get a place here unless you have an extra $75 a month for a garage which most likely will be nowhere near your actual apartment. They dont have dedicated garages for apartment locations and sell them to whomever, so the odds of you getting a garage next to your apartment are likely low. Be advised.. I only lived there a year (5/14 - 5/15) and I felt like a prisoner because I knew if I left, I would have to spend 20+ mins looking for another spot.

Comment: STAY AWAY!I would have done zero star if I could.Terrible staff, horrible parking, my car was towed once.The are dog waste every where, you really need to watch your step.Old and dirty laundry rooms that stink all the time!I have done many noise complains no one cares or done anything about it.I am paying almost $1300/mon for 1bed, and this is for an old version apartment, which has not be renovated and it is really really crappy!!All the LOW reviews that you see here and in YELP should hopefully keep you from choosing this place. I have 1 more month left on my lease and I cant wait to leave!!!

Comment: Rip-off, No Parking, and MOLD everywhere (keep reading...)THE RENT: A 2 bedroom doesnt sound bad at around $1450/m but you are also required to pay an extra $40/m for renters insurance, and they also tack on water to your rent. So it realistically ends up being about $1600/m. Once your lease ends, they will jack your rent up another $50 every year.THE LEASE: When you visit, they show you a model apartment next door to the leasing office. It has nicely painted walls, no popcorn ceilings, high end furniture and decors, ceramic tile flooring, and looks like something out of a magazine. If you ask if you can see your actual unit, they say no because there are tenants in it. Then they make you sign a 30 page lease, but read it carefully because you are basically agreeing to living in a mold farm. Once you get your keys, you will find that your actual unit has vinyl tile, popcorn ceilings, and moldy bathrooms with a fresh coat of white paint slapped over it.PARKING: It is impossible to find apartment parking after 4:30pm, and impossible to find street parking after 5:30pm. Weekends are just bad all day long. You will park your car about 20 minutes away everyday after work. Also be careful where you park or else you will get towed. The tenants cannot parallel park, so expect lots of dings and dents on your car. A parking garage will cost you another $100/month.THE APARTMENT: Once you get the keys and go to your place, you will find that even if you live on the 1st floor, you still have to climb about 7 steps. It is not handicap accessible at all, and this also makes moving difficult. Once you go inside your new apartment, it reeks of fumigation and there are dead roaches on the floor. You can smell the MOLD in the bathrooms, since they never remove it and instead just paint right over it. This place is a health and safety hazard, should be shut down. The walls are also paper thin, so you will basically hear your neighbors getting it on to Barry White every nigh. You will also hear their TV and their dog barking non-stop. Oh dont worry, they can hear you also.PETS: It seems that nobody puts their pets on a leash at Coral Bay. In the year that Ive stayed there Ive seen several Pitbulls and Rottweilers roaming around without the owners in site. People rarely clean up after their pets, so dont walk on the grass or you will need some new shoes.THE AMENITIES: The pool is dirty, full of kids, and also full of urine. Nobody uses the basketball or tennis courts. The gym is small, but it has a huge window on the front, and is conveniently located right inside the Clubhouse. So every time there is an event int the Clubhouse, you have an audience watching you work out.THE STAFF: They are trained to be very friendly so that they sucker you into signing a year lease. Be careful and stay away!

Comment: I moved in last Sunday to a 1 bedroom apartment and was told I have 72 hours to get my walk through paperwork back to them, so I abided by that request. As I walked through the apartment there are numerous issues such as the exhaust fan not working, mold and rotting in the bathroom sink, kitchen drawers not on tracks, none of the pilot lights were lit (took 2 visit from them to get this complete...). I have had to submit multiple work orders since no one is communicating and things are being marked as complete when it really hasnt been fixed. I was out of town all weekend and gave them PTE but yet nothing was fixed, again...They called me this morning asking me if they can enter today, after explaining several times they do not have PTE without my dog being out of there. This is all after me going out of my way to make special arrangements for someone to watch my dog so they can go in and fix what needs to be fixed and yet no solution. So far I am very disappointed in the quality of living they that have thus far lacked for the price they are charging for this apartment. Also, if you are looking to move in, make sure you see the actual apartment, NOT the model apartment as that is upgraded and my apartment is not, nor was I told it was not upgraded so a lot of things are missing that a normal apartment would have such as electrical plugs in the bathroom and hallway.Their maintenance and admin team need better communication and documentation so that those who dont do their job are held accountable. Thus far no one has Coral Bay shows no accountability for their mistakes. I would not have moved in if I knew it would be hell the first week..

Comment: Ive lived here for 3 years, and hate it. It is a decrepit over-priced dump with great amenities and maintenance, but it was built as Navy housing in the 50s and is un-insulated and has single pane windows. I live on the second (top) floor so the sun bakes the place and it gets very hot indoors. We pay $1200 for a one bedroom. the walls a paper thin. Parking is as nightmare. There are only 2 cable options. The management is incredibly arrogant. My parking permit was stolen from my car and they refuse to replace it. I Complained. their response was Just give us your 30day notice and vacate if you dont like it. Im not renewing my lease. My roommate can find another. Im outta here.

Comment: Before I moved here all of these super low reviews really concerned me. I moved here anyway...and now that I have, Im not sure exactly why this place is rated so low? First off, I do NOT work for Coral bay...Im just a resident and have been here for almost 2 years. Im also not sure if there are older parts of the complex? Is this place perfect? no...but its not any worse than an average apartment.PROS:- The property is well maintained- I personally have never waited more than one day for a work order to be completed- lots of grassy areas for walking your dog- lots of laundry rooms- decent sized pool (though it DOES get busy over the summer, but its public!)- parking, while not GREAT...is better here than other places Ive lived in San Diego. If youre moving from someplace that has lots of space and plenty of parking...welcome to parking in San Diego :)- Rent isnt cheap but not crazy expensive for living 1 mile up the hill to mission bay- the office staff has always been friendly and helpfulCONS:- Lets talk about rent again. This is the first place Ive rented in San Diego that Im getting charged for Trash, Water and Sewer. Its not super high, but bumps the rent bill up and many other places these services are included.- I also think if you dont have a dog, you can find other places that are just as nice, or nicer...for less.- the walls are on the thinner side, again...Ive seen worse...Ive seen better. Its not terrible, but with a noisy neighbor I can understand that complaint. Then again...even nice quiet walls with the wrong kind of neighbor...can be a pain. Welcome to the joys of apartment living.- I REALLY dont like how far away everything is. This might be nice if youre married or have a family...but Id like to be a little closer to some sort of nightlife.- off leash dogs - this isnt so much an issue with the complex itself, but rather people (residents) that only care about them self. (for some reason it always seems to follow, the smaller the dog...the more inconsiderate the owner. mostly.)- poop in the grass. Coral Bay makes available plenty of dog poop receptacles as well as free poop bags so I cant really fault Coral Bay for this...many of the residents just dont care.As you see...many of the items on my Cons list have less to do with the complex and more to do with uncaring neighbors/residents.Not a pro or con, just something to note. When you go to re-sign your lease, Coral bay allows you to go month to month. Im mixed on this. On the plus side, I think its great they even let you DO month to month...many places require longer leases. However, if you WANT to go month to month...its VERY expensive (if I remember right, I was quoted over $1500/mo) So yeah...if you want to keep your rent reasonable...you need to sign a longer lease, which is kind of a bummer.I hope this was helpful and helps to balance out some of these all negative reviews. Im not sure where these other reviewers were from, or where they lived prior...but it seems like maybe their expectations were a little too high? While San Diego isnt the worst rental market in the country....its not cheap to live here...and you pay more for just an average place. Welcome to living and renting in SD :)

Comment: In general things started out fine at these apartments, but went down hill. I lived in the apartments for two years. Anytime you asked the management about anything regarding service they always said just come in anytime, however they run bankers hours and they can never do anything for you on the weekends, only during the week. This makes it nearly impossible for any working person to do any business with the office unless you take time off.Parking is atrocious. You are given parking passes based on the unit size however there are not nearly enough spaces so sometimes you have to park on the street a literal ten minute walk form your apartment. There are also bad neighbors found throughout as things were always being stolen off the entry areas of people units.The laundry facility is not kept up very well. The cards fault out often and the machines are not well maintained. Some of the paddles inside the dyers break of and then put holes in your clothes.They also charge you for water trash and sewer as an add on to your monthly billing statement but they are huge water wasters. Many times I would leave int eh morning only to find many cars in the parking lots or on the streets being directly sprayed by the sprinklers and not even being aimed the landscape, and many times sprinklers were broken and spewing water.Service requests are not always responded to as several times I let them know that the lights in the parking lots were not working and the stayed this way for a year until only one light of eight were working then they finally replaced bulbs, otherwise the parking lots were pitch black.I would not suggest moving here if you are looking for responsiveness from the management. They are friendly when you come in but they are not reactive.In general the unit looks nice but these units are not efficient in their design, there are a lot of wasted spaces especially the kitchen. There are only four drawers on the lower cabinetry everything else is upper cabinetry which makes objects hard to reach unless you are really tall. Watch out for extreme charges when you move out they charge for excessive things take pictures.

Comment: Amazing Apartments from an architectural point of view, my family loves it here. 10 minutes from anything awesome in San Diego. The Bay, beaches, Kate Sessions Park, Clairemont/Kearney Mesa/ Little Italy restaurants. Pacific Beach is right around the corner and reverse commute to any work place in SD. Close to Sprouts, and grocery stores in all directions.The management is amazing, friendly, local, knowledgeable, empathetic. The maintenance team is family friendly, busy, and under appreciated.Karent our leasing consultant found us an amazing apartment over looking Tecoyte canyon, 11’ deep lap poolShe, Gym, and Laundry. She listened to our needs/wants, gave us several locations to choose from, and made this happen. Understanding the scope of work they do here helped me find the right place and Karent understandingly met those parameters.Full wall length single hung w/ symmetrical complimentary fixed 4’ tall East and west facing windows at the living, kitchen and main bedroom supplies plenty of coastal cross ventilation limiting AC use needs. Move in ready Vertical blinds, carpet and LVT. The two bedrooms are spacious enough for the total SF w/ large closets and the kitchens are perfect for modern living w/ new stainless steel appliances. (I recommend adding cabinet space furniture in the kitchen.) Plus the square footage is 800+ SF.We feel safe on the 2nd floor with an added security steel screen door in addition to our entry Door.Denny the property manager is authoritative friendly and concerned w/ keeping the residence safe. The neighbors have been great at helping with neighborhood watch activities and all have been super friendly and respectful… especially the long term residents, some who have been here as long as 20 years.Love the new Gym, (brand new) community center(rentable) room, newly remodeled tennis court / pickle ball, basketball court. Plus the property is dog friendly with a low additional pet rent. There is plenty of grass, a dog park, and pet bag disposed supply locations throughout the complex.Of not sure if everyone is as stoked at we are, God is good and we can’t complain.Rent is better than inland apartments and parking is the only battle past 10pm. Although you can get (2) parking passes for every 2 bedroom. And get on a wait list for the available single car garages.If you move here, please be respectful to your neighbors because they are locals.…Keep this gem to yourselves.
