    Water heater replacement
    Kimberly C.

    Maintenance came to the rescue when old water heater was flaming and about to explode. I had to track down Fernando on site as couldn't get through to the office and he was there in minutes. Fernando and Marcos showed up next morning as promised with new water heater. They went above and beyond to make sure not to leave any mess and swept the laundry area of all the debris that was under the water heater. I should have hot water in an hour and be back in action. Thank you Fernando and Marcos!

    My husband and I have lived at the Marea for 4 years, and I recommend living here to all my friends.. let me tell you why. We have a 2-bedroom with a large patio, and it is incredibly spacious with tons of cabinets and storage throughout. The apartment doesn't feel like a typical apartment at all; it honestly feels more like a townhome or condo, which we've always loved. Anytime we've had maintenance requests, they were handled quickly and efficiently. The maintenance team is fantastic and always so friendly, truly one of the highlights of living here. The community amenities are also fantastic!! There's a well-equipped gym, two pools, and both tennis and pickleball courts, which really adds to the lifestyle here. We've had countless friends and family over for summer pools days and BBQs. Dawn, the Senior Property Director, is an absolute JOY to work with, amongst the rest of the property staff team. She genuinely cares about the residents and it really shows in how well the community is run. And lastly, the location...The views overlooking Monarch Golf Course are stunning (plus my husband and I have played quite a few rounds) and having a trail that leads straight to the beach is such a luxury. We spend so much of our time at the beach. It's peaceful, scenic, and feels like a little slice of coastal paradise.

    Salt Creek a short walk away.

    Marea is a great place to call home, whether a short time or for years. We moved in September '25 and it feels like living at a spa. Pools, hot tubs, gym and even pickle ball courts are inviting. A quick walk to the beach is a great start to the day. The business office and upstair lounge are nice extra perks. Whether it's Caymen, Dawn, Ruben or Shenaye, the entire staff is friendly, helpful and professionally welcoming. They truly make it Luxury Leasing as the sign says. Dog savvy, kid safe and family friendly; Marea is a hidden gem on Crown Valley.

    My front porch!

    Hello. My credit isn't very good. My score is in the mid 500's. My roommate has a great score of 720. If I apply do you require all occupants have great credit or can we get approved using just his score?

    Hi Jason, I recommend touring the community first, then once you've found a home you like, apply. We work with all credit scores, and while sometimes we do deny applications,… Read more

    Are there EV charging on-site?

    Yes

    How close is this to the entrance to St. Regis? Wondering if I can walk?

    St. Regis is roughly 1 mile from Monarch Coast. So definitely walkable! But you should probably go on a leisurely day with good weather. The walk would most likely take half an hour.

With over five years staying at the Coastal Digs properties, my experiences have been nothing short of perfection. Not to say that on the rare occasion something doesn't go wrong. But the manner in which these few times are handled was timely and thorough. The owners are friendly and caring people. Their properties are beautifully decorated with careful thought given to every aspect of a guest's wants and needs. There isn't one complaint I can honestly give.

I found this coastaldigs.com on Craigslist just a couple days ago and thought I'd found the perfect place (both units) and if I liked it I'd see if I could rent longer. I wanted to see the unit that was left if possible and ask a couple questions voice to voice. I gave them my number (first via email and they had been texting my cell as of 6:20pm on Saturday night and I provided it again in via text though they were texting me) and asked them to call rather than text repeatedly and find the best time for both of us to meet. Today she responded with "you haven't given your number" and "do you think I just hang around here all day?" Wow that was my first clue about this persons (Dee) lack of professionalism. She tried to nail down my rental dates on Sunday. a.m. and all I asked was for her to call so I could talk in person about a couple things and to find a good time for both of us to meet. This all happened Sunday morning. After 2 rude comments to my asking for a call I said "never mind this is rude" and being a property manager myself for over 25 years I realized best not to move forward. She offered no apology at all. Their response to my comment about me being a property manager was: "Property manager.Lol" (basically calls me a liar) Next line was "Idiot." Next was "You have been an air head from day one. Grow up" then "sounds like you've had a little too much f--king." and the final comment before blocking was "Lol, go baby go" I realized this wasn't someone I'd want to deal with. I am the customer and as a property manager myself I respond kindly and call if requested rather than text. I've spent weeks with prospective clients to find they rent something else. I say thank you for considering us and maybe we can help in the future. All this horrible dialog happened today when I had hoped to figure out a time and ask important questions as I have a disability and needed to make sure the property would suit my limitations. I actually started packing a bag in case I could move in today as they wanted the 1st or the 15th only. I DID SAVE THE ENTIRE TEXT DIALOG (NOT SCREEN SHOTS BUT UNEDITED ORIGINAL ON MY LAPTOP) FOR ANYONE TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT THE TRUTH IS. I have a vacation property on VRBO as well how frustrating it can be dealing with people and their questions but people have lives and things happen yet always act with professionalism. This was a first and so disappointing as I thought I found the perfect place. I'm sure the rental would probably be fine if you can text/email and book right away. All I asked for was a voice to voice call. - Her comments below are untrue and I have reported this to yelp as I don't want this associated with my reviews. IT IS OBVIOUS BY HER RESPONSE THE LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM. OTHER BUSINESSES RESPOND WITH APOLOGIES AND PROFESSIONAL DIALOG.

I moved to Vintage Shores about a month and a half ago to be close to my daughter, her husband and my 3 grandchildren and that alone is gold but moving here I got a lot more. My apartment is so cute,with a lot more storage space than it looks like at first glance. I look forward to the weather becoming a bit warmer to enjoy my morning coffee on my patio. The beautiful,peaceful grounds are adorned with flowers and the fresh scent of ocean air. The laundry room,pool and Jacuzzi are so clean. Along with friendly people, the aroma of good coffee fills the Clubhouse in the morning. There is even a social worker available every Monday. Mina ,the Community Manager, is absolutely lovely and makes sure that everything is always attended to for the residents,making this piece of ground not just an apartment complex but a real home. Luis,who is in charge of maintenance, can fix anything around here and knows what he is doing .Everything inside the apartment and outside on the grounds and Clubhouse is so well maintained. I just love this place. I have found a little bit of Heaven right here at Vintage shores. Wendy Fremstad UPDATE:October 2023 Mina,the Community Manager, Luis who is in charge of Maintenance and Augustin who also works in Maintenance have continued to demonstrate remarkable attention to detail in the upkeep and maintenance of the lovely Vintage Shores facilities and grounds. Over the last 4 and 1/2 years all of the common areas have consistently been clean and well-maintained.Luis always has a genuine smile for all of the residents and he and Augusin are always there when they are needed. It's clear that they take great pride in ensuring the community remains a beautiful and comfortable place to call home. I so appreciate that when the pandemic first hit Mina ordered new stand alone mailboxes that were placed outside as opposed to a mail room where all of us would go to collect mail and thus keeping residents safe. One thing that truly sets Mina apart is her genuine care for the residents. I couldn't be more pleased with Mina as our Community Manager. Her dedication,willingness to help,attention to detail, and warmth have meant the world to me. Unfortunately, my needs have changed and I will be downsizing which means I will be moving from Vintage Shores. Wendy Fremstad
