There are times when neighbors can be inconsiderate and people do not always follow the rules but I found it a safe & comfortable place to call home. For me, living there was convenient to where I was working. Being able to get to work or get off work and be home within ten minutes is a huge plus. The pricing can be somewhat high (but that is typical on the Monterey Peninsula) and for what my needs were at the time, the size of my unit worked well with my lifestyle. The last thing that mattered to me while I lived there was my relationships with my neighbors; I had wonderful neighbors. I have a lot of great memories living at SunBay and I was always happy to call it my home.

Anyways, this whole company just cares about your money and not who you are. The employees here are extremely disrespectful and honestly embarrassing.

Most of the apartments are renovated or being renovated. The Management is AMAZING and are there to help and fix any problem as soon as possible.

When it was time to move out, we walked through the apartment together and they never tried to overcharge or get money where they could.

I would have never left if it hadn't have been for my grandmother needing my immediate care and housing....... turns out I regret even buying a house now and wish I were still there. Nonetheless....

I would recommend this apt complex to my best of friends and family and my time there will be sincerely remembered as one of the best of my life. (did I mention ocean views ?!) wow!

Beware!!! I moved…read moreinto this apartment complex in August 2024 with high hopes after a promising tour. Unfortunately, that optimism was short-lived. This place has been nothing but a constant source of frustration, and I feel compelled to warn others before they make the same mistake. Let's start with the hidden fees. After paying over $100 in non-refundable application fees, we signed our lease only to discover that we'd also be paying for pest control, sewer, trash, and water--none of which were clearly disclosed upfront. These "additional charges" have averaged $250 a month on top of rent. Last month alone, we were charged $190 just for water--and there are only two people living in our unit. We are extremely conscientious about usage, and we don't even drink the water or use it for ice or coffee because we've seen brown sediment in it multiple times. I've reached out to both the property manager and leasing agent asking how the water and sewer are measured--crickets. No response, which is unfortunately all too common. It takes over a week for them to respond and address any of my concerns, if at all. Meanwhile, the grounds are infested with spiders, slugs, ants, and we had multiple COCKROACH encounters when we first moved in!!! So what are we paying for in "pest control"? That's a mystery. Perhaps the excessive amount of visible rat traps. We're even charged a $6 monthly fee just to compile the bill for these "services." Maintenance has been a disaster. When we first moved in, the thermostat was set to Celsius. Maintenance told us it couldn't be changed--Google proved otherwise. During a so-called "annual inspection," a maintenance tech left a solo cup full of master keys on our doorstep while he worked inside. Anyone walking by could've grabbed access to every unit in the complex. Completely unacceptable. A few months ago, a water main broke during a rainstorm. I called emergency maintenance--they showed up, shrugged, and said they'd "call a plumber tomorrow." Rain was pouring and flooding was imminent. I ended up calling 911 and the fire department had to come out to shut off the water and prevent further damage. Even they were shocked it hadn't already been handled. There's more. A neighbor's door lock malfunctioned. Maintenance replaced it with a used door, in the middle of winter, and didn't even bother to install weather stripping--leaving a 1-inch gap under the door for cold air and pests to flow freely. That was over a month ago, and it's still not fixed. When we moved in, the leasing office was open Monday through Saturday. Now it's only open four days a week. Security patrols that used to come by twice nightly (after a string of car break-ins) were silently discontinued about four months ago--with no notice to residents. The walls are paper thin--we hear everything our neighbors do, and when they use the stairs, it feels like they're stomping through our living room. The windows are ancient single-pane originals from what I can only guess is the 1960s. They sweat constantly, and we've discovered black mold on our clothes, pillows, and window frames. Cold drafts leak in all winter long, and the moisture issues are beyond unacceptable. We inquired with the leasing office in January if there were an option to replace the windows. The informed us that it wouldn't be possible until at least April...and here we are at the end of April with no resolution. Our lease runs until September, and we are counting down the days until we can move. I wouldn't recommend this complex to anyone. It's overpriced, poorly managed, and increasingly unsafe and unsanitary. Do yourself a favor--look elsewhere.

Yea the homes are a little old, but what you get for the rental price can't be beat. I mean there is always ways you can earn discounted rent. If you keep your yard clean, you get a discount on rent. You pay rent on time... guess what... you get a discount on rent. Really could not be happier. When you place a service call, the guys are at your door within 24 hours. Friendly is a understatement. They present themselves well and handle the issues superfast. One guy even fixed something he saw, without even being asked. He found it before we did. The staff here is amazing. Brent our new manager is super nice and makes sure you are happy with your place. He even stayed late for us when we moved in because I got caught up in traffic. Everyone went home and he was right there walking us through our paperwork and check in. I feel safe, it's quiet here. You can hear the Ocean every night, so peaceful. The only thing that I would say irritates me, is it takes them awhile to deposit your rent. I guess that's good for some.. for me I like it to be done and know it's paid. Last month it took them over 8 days. I called to make sure they got it, the lady said, "Well if you put it through the slot, then we got it." Ummm could you look for me! Haha. But that's about it. I can't say enough good things.

Kim the…read moremanager is the most proactive manager of any apartment complex I have ever lived in, and I have lived in a lot of them. I have been in the military for 23 years, and as you can imagine I have seen my fair share of apartments and their management teams. From the very beginning of our stay at Surfside Kim has made us feel welcome and at home. She personally made sure that our apartment had its promised upgraded bath and kitchen hardware and has always quickly responded to any of our repair needs or issues. The grounds at the apartments are immaculate. On any given day you can actually find Kim roaming the complex either overseeing work or making lists of work to accomplish. I have never before seen such a proactive effort on the part of a manager. When my friends and family visit they always talk about how beautiful the complex looks and I wholeheartedly agree. In 9 out of my 10 last apartments you had to pretty much drag the managers out of their office to even come look at a problem and then they would run inside as though the sun was burning their skin. If you are looking for a place to live by the beach at a great rate with an amazing manager and a short walk to the beach call now and get in because I have yet to see an open apartment last long.
