The fridge and dishwasher are large and spacious. The gym and pool areas are nice. Cons: Shower pressure is very low in the apartment. The dryer is very inefficient and can take up to 3 cycles to fully dry clothes. The communal recycling and trash areas are almost always filled to the max. The apartment is incredibly noisy due to the traffic from Beach Blvd with no attempt at noise abatement. It is bad enough that I had to move from the bedroom next to Beach Blvd, which appears to be the master bedroom due to a much larger walk-in closet, to the smaller bedroom. I was told I could have a garden on the rooftop terrace but there is no water faucet to water plants on the terrace. It is advertised that there is a common bike storage area but it is completely full. I would say that that these are acceptable for a cheap apartment, but this is advertised as a "luxury" apartment. Edit: In addition to the above complaints, if you accidentally forget to pay rent by the 4th of the month they automatically add late fee that is 10% of your rent. Such luxury. Reduced from 2 stars to 1. Oh, also my window leaked like crazy last week during some rain, and it was gushing into the apartment. I've never had these many issues in any of my previous apartments. If you want to live in an apartment complex that is full of vampires that suck your finances instead of blood, Bluwater is your spot.

Disappointed by Misleading Presentation and Safety Concerns…read more I discovered that the complex hosts multiple sober-living or rehab-related residences. This has had a significant impact on the overall environment and sense of security. For instance, there have been repeated incidents involving emergency responders, including overdoses and police visits, which make it difficult to feel at ease in what was marketed as a "luxury" community. It's not uncommon to witness disruptive behavior near the pool and shared areas--loud arguments, offensive language, smoking, and public discussions of personal struggles. While everyone deserves a chance to recover, the absence of boundaries and oversight creates discomfort for paying residents who moved in with a different expectation of privacy and tranquility. I was told that these facilities and their residents fall under "equal opportunity" protections, with no acknowledgment of the broader safety or quality-of-life impact on long-term tenants. Bottom line: If you're paying premium rent expecting a peaceful, secure, and professional residential setting, you may want to ask very direct questions about who else is sharing the property. Transparency is lacking, and safety concerns are not being taken seriously.

I have lived here for 3 horrible weeks. I was given word of Samantha Malone, my apartment would be…read morecompletely ready for me to move in. never happened, carpet looked like herd of buffalo had run over it. Called office, she came and vacuumed. I needed to wash clothes, washing machine was old and filthy, dryer old and covered in gray paint, and had some taped to back wall inside. I called office and notified them. 2 weeks later after several more calls and sending photos to Laura Siemsen, she sent a maintenance lady to try and clean. lady took one look and said no way to clean this mess up. Laura Siemsen then told me she was going to try and get washing machine from another unit or try to get a new set. This week on Wednesday, new washing machine and dryer installed. The day after I moved in, discovered 3 electrical outlets on kitchen counter, did not work. I was told by Samantha Malone that maintenance was short workers, due to illness. The truth was , complex maintenance was preparing for an inspection by U S HUD. all maintenance was busy sprucing up complex. Last week walking into my apartment, found a maintenance man trying to repair electrical outlets. he finally said he would have to call contractor. Next day electrical contractor showed up, had to cut 4 different holes in wall in dining area, hallway by washing machine, bathroom and linen closet. I asked electrician, if I needed to make maintenance request, she said no,they had reported it to office . I called office on Tuesday, and was told next day holes would be taken care of as well as washing machine and dryer installed. Holes and patchwork, 2 areas were partially done.Bathroom and linen closet not touched. Yesterday I called office at 2:47pm and was told this problem would be taken care of by 5pm yesterday or today. it's 6:48 pm now, no notification, no maintenance, nothing done. This place is a nightmare, poorly maintained and very poorly managed. I urge whoever reads this, do not consider moving here and going through the problems I have endured. Monday I will start calling radio, tv stations to see if they can secure some relief for me. I could continue writing about other problems , but I'm done for now Bryant Spooner

In the past few months we have moved out of the Cottages at North Beach in favor of owning our own…read morehome. The apartments are beautiful but the cons for us outweighed the pros. When we were apartment hunting in Jan 2019, the leasing office was persistent in asking for reviews so take The five star reviews with a grain of salt. The good: The apartments are beautiful & the maintenance guy (Max) is very responsive/kind/friendly. If a light bulb blows out- they will replace it for you. Few apartments in the general area have a yard and a garage- as dog owners this is mainly why we chose them. The bad: The apartments are located on Atlantic Blvd which is VERY busy. We lived in the 100 block and there was not ever a time of time where we couldn't hear the traffic. It was hard to enjoy our yard because we were constantly pestered by walkers by on how much rent was etc. I would not recommend renting a unit in the 100 block of the community. Pest/Lawn maintenance was a struggle for us- you pay for this monthly but more often than not our lawn was dead (they don't seem to water) and full of ant colonies. It took multiple service requests to get the issues fully addressed and I think they've since changed vendors. We had hoped that the community would be one that spent time together/was friendly since we were new to the area but that was not the case. The community is always quiet and everyone keeps to themselves for the most part. It's clean for the most part but there are other tenants who let their dogs poop freely without picking it up after. Not cool. The Bluewater office staff aren't great overall. Calling them is a pain. Our apartment flooded at one point from the rain and when I alerted the office staff they seemed unbothered. As a heads up- when you move out they offer you a $300 cleaning package or you can clean it yourself. More than likely you will be charged this forgoing your security deposit if you clean it yourself. Their lease break clause offers 2 options: 1) 2 months rent or 2) you pay until they find someone. We elected to go with option 2 figuring this community was in high demand because when we had originally looked at it there were very limited options available. This has turned out not to be true- they seem to have a hard time renting the units. For the majority of our time there we had no neighbors. They did let us get out of our lease early since we gave two months notice but renter beware.

It is in an urban beach area so some noise is expected, but nothing that I wouldn't deem normal. The string lighting drive and gated community give of an exclusive high-end vibe. The neighborhood is quiet and I'm walking distance to restaurants, shops, the beaches town center and the beachfront. The fenced in yard give pets a close place to go out and the Atlantic Beach Dog Park is next door. The staff at the office which is located at BluWater Apartments in Jacksonville Beach are very friendly and informative. Jennifer helped me and she was wonderful! Max and the rest of the maintenance team are fast and efficient. If you are looking for a place to live and have realistic expectations about living in an urban beach town than this place will be perfect and a quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle just down the street. Definitely recommend Cottage at North Beach.

We can only hope it will get better if people that live here get honest and take a good look at what they are getting for their money.

When I asked about viewing a 3-bedroom apartment, Alexis responded with a very condescending tone saying "okayyyy"and made a weird facial expression as if I said something bizarre before saying they didn't have any available. She did not offer any additional information, alternatives, or attempt to assist further. This interaction felt very unwelcoming and dismissive. Unfortunately, it left a negative first impression and discouraged me from considering this property any further. I hope management takes steps to improve professionalism and customer service.
