I think my favorite thing about the complex is how swift and on point the maintenance team is. Daniel has serviced my apartment multiple times and on all occasions he has went above and beyond. He did what was requested of him and so much more. On one occasion he was off and heading to a dinner date with his wife and I called him for an emergency. He not only fixed the emergency but he also assisted me with other things in the apartment. On another occasion I requested someone take a look at the AC vent in my bedroom. Daniel came and he not only fixed the vent but he also noticed inconsistencies in the AC unit power. He spent over an hour servicing the AC and maintained a very friendly presence. Daniel is beyond amazing!

AS A RESIDENT Pros:…read more *friendly and knowledgeable staff who build a relationship with you *very well maintained property -- it always looks pristine *amazing amenities -- pool, game room, cardio room + weight room, wine bar, covered garage available, valet trash 5 days/week *multiple monthly resident events *resident portal for easy payment and maintenance *each unit is thoroughly and regularly maintained by the staff, including fire/smoke detector checks, fire extinguisher checks, AC filter replacements, dryer vent cleanouts, etc. *elevators available *very pet friendly including a dog wash room *carpet only in the bedroom Cons: *the other residents -- I don't know what it is, but everyone who lives here is very rude, entitled and inconsiderate of their neighbors. *people don't respect quiet hours -- I was consistently woken up to vacuuming and furniture moving above me anywhere from 2am-6am. And likewise, other people didn't haven't realistic expectations for regular living sounds during daytime hours. The person below me would bang on his ceiling for "rolling things" in the middle of the afternoon. *people don't respect that it's a non-smoking community -- my next door neighbor smoked so much weed in his apartment that it would infiltrate mine through the walls and vents. *pet friendly community, but very disrespectful pet owners -- it's a pretty small community with A LOT of dogs. The walking area is always covered in dog poop even though bags are provided. *elevators available but not always working -- sometimes one is out of service for weeks at a time *there's only 2 exits for each building which didn't seem like an issue until living in it, especially with the dog situation *package room is always chaotic, unorganized, and deliveries left in the wrong building *these apartments are too expensive and the staff work too hard for your fellow residents to make such a negative impact, but here we are. AS AN OFFICE RENTER Pros: *clean and professional office area *shared kitchenette/break room with a microwave and fridge *access to all community events and amenities listed above (except valet trash) *leasing office promotes your business to the residents *free coffee machine to offer your clients *conference room *guest WiFi available Cons: *residents are SO loud above you *conference room is first come, first serve *conference room was not sound proof (the noise from residents and music playing in the lobby was pretty distracting in a meeting). *separate entrance to the building through the office spaces, however, it is completely blocked by landscaping so you have to walk around anyway making that door kind of pointless

If one person does not renew the lease but the other person does, the security deposit does not go back to the person who did not renew.

Baldwin Harbor looks great from the outside, but I have experienced many issues since moving in…read more They constantly need access to your apartment and give extremely vague time frames and information as to why they need to access it, then tell you there's nothing else they can do about it. This does not make me feel safe about the security of my apartment and my belongings. Fire alarms constantly go off, whether for testing or when they malfunction in the middle of the night, and an entire walkway on my floor has been blocked for well over a month which raises concerns of fire safety. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to give this apartment complex a negative review. I've tried contacting the office multiple times for multiple issues-- I've even visited the office, and still my issues have not been resolved. I'll consider changing this review if I can finally get some clarification or resolution of these issues.

As a current resident, I am severely disappointed with this complex. Let me outline some of the…read morereoccurring problems with building two (it's long but honest review). I cannot write about building one, other than that's where they take most of their website pictures and where you start your tour. First, one of the leasing consultants told me and my family that there was "temporary" construction occurring in building two and that it should not be a problem. This was over a year ago, active construction is ongoing in building two with workers constantly drilling and working the hallways starting usually around 8:30 am until 5pm. Working from home is not possible as you hear the construction through your walls. They block off entrances into the building without warning. The halls smelled of chemicals and paint for weeks. I cannot express the frustration about this construction enough, it is truly unbearable and continuous. Attempts to clarify the construction deadline is fruitless. They give you blanket statements and fail to make any accommodations as a result of their construction. Instead, they say oh well and good luck. You really don't know construction is going on until 8:30am when you hear a drill or yelling down the hallway about something they are fixing. Second, good luck getting any peace and quiet here. You can hear everything, and I mean everything, through the paper thin walls. You can hear when your upstairs neighbor comes home and all their movement. Same goes for your next door neighbor. If there is a noise complaint -- such as parties blasting throughout your hallways-- you are directed to call a courtesy officer who never responds. Instead, you are left to deal with the issue or attempt to sleep through it. When you call the leasing office to let them know about the problem, they tell you to call the courtesy officer. They constantly change the extension number for that officer as well. Third, the general upkeep of the building is disappointing. Doors with key fobs don't work. They have been aware of the issue for months and have done nothing to get it fixed. Your door, even if you don't lock it, will lock you out and you will have to pay a fee to get into your apartment. The trash areas are a disaster and stink up the hallway. They had fire alarms go off at random times; not because there was a true fire, but because the system itself was malfunctioning. They were aware of the problem. The biggest and most worrisome event occurred this past May where the fire alarms went off from approximately 8pm to 3 am. Each time fire rescue showed up, saying this was "a building problem" and that they would be delaying their arrivals throughout the night because they know there is no fire. The office said that maintenance came to the complex to help with the situation. Maintenance arrived, then left 10 minutes after the fire department left, and then the fire alarms would go off again. Myself, along with other residents, voiced our concern. After informing leasing that I wish to be communicated to about this issue via email, they called me and spoke rather harshly to me about my concerns. I told them that I would not feel safe for myself or my family to stay until the system was resolved, the assistant manager said something along the lines of "well it's head of maintenances job to determine that".... Lastly, the apartment requires frequent maintenance requests. The washing machines consistently clog or won't work. The fridge will continue to leak, they delegate tasks that are not designated in the lease agreement to tenants. All and all, the only good thing about this complex is location. But I recommend looking elsewhere. Many tenants are looking for other options and voicing the same frustrations in building two. It may look like a beautiful location online and when you get the tour, but once you move in it's miserable. I wish I could say I enjoyed this place, but honestly myself and my family are excited to move and get a goodnight's rest without worry of fire alarms, construction, stomping, and can get into our new place without issues.

Honest Review of Villa del Mar Apartments I rarely leave…read morereviews, but this one needs to be shared. In September 2024, I signed a lease for a studio at Villa del Mar mainly because of the price and location. From the start, the office staff didn't seem very friendly, but I brushed it off and appreciated how quick and easy the leasing process was. Move-in day came a month later, and things went downhill immediately. They never show you the actual unit you'll be renting--just a "model"--which looked clean and fresh. But the unit I moved into smelled musty and mildewy. I also found several dead German cockroaches, and a large hole in the A/C handler area that I ended up sealing myself just to keep more pests out. The wallpaper looked like it had been painted over, with bubbles everywhere. I'm not usually a complainer, so I fixed what I could and tried to move on. Then came the first electric bill--outrageously high. The A/C units are extremely old, and clearly inefficient, but I knew mentioning it wouldn't lead to any improvements. The valet trash service, which you're required to pay for, is terrible. Residents leave trash out all night, attracting animals. Management sends reminders but never enforces anything. One night someone moved my trash bag next to an abandoned car in front of my apartment, and I was the one who got threatened for it. Speaking of that abandoned car: it sat right in front of my door for months with a flat tire, and despite my repeated complaints, management did absolutely nothing. Move-out day couldn't come fast enough. While packing, I found signs of more German cockroaches inside my electronics--disgusting. The building clearly has a serious pest issue. After inspection, I thankfully got my full deposit back... but actually receiving the check was another nightmare. They claimed it got "lost in the mail" twice. It took 75 days and me filing a small-claims notice before they finally sent my money. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away. The complex has potential, and I will say they offer community activities and communicate regularly with residents. But the owners seem to do the bare minimum to keep units rented. They need to repave the parking areas, update the HVAC systems, address the pest problems, and get the musty smell under control. I hope this review helps anyone considering moving here. Writing this was worth it if it saves someone else the frustration.

I've been here for 5 years now. Maintenence for emergencies is pretty quick. I like that these…read morebuildings are one story. The area is good, right near the mall and Cranes Roost. I do not feel like management really cares about the residents here. We are supposed to have amenities that include 3 pools, a gym, a car wash station, and a tennis court. At any given time, if I go to a pool, it could be locked off with no warning. Same with the gym. I'm trying to work out every day and when I went to the gym today, it was locked up. On a Saturday. No signs. No messages to the community letting us know it would be locked. The gym is also rarely cleaned and I'm not sure how sanitary it is. I'm pretty tired of having to go with the flow of not being able to use amenities I pay for. The car wash station has been out of service for months now. The pools also only have 1 door open at a time for each pool so if you don't choose the right side, you'll have to keep walking around the entire gate, guessing which one is open. Aniyah (in the office) is really nice. So is Zelma and some of the maintenance people. I just feel like another number here and that even if I complain, things aren't kept up. If I call and ask about something nicely, I generally get a response that reminds me that they do not care to help. Aniyah is the exception. She's very nice but that doesn't mean things get done with maintenance.

The maintenance crew is also friendly and amazing! I worked with Angel and Freddy so far and they are great!
