I previously wrote a review when we first moved in. After living at Mariners Cove for a year, I wish I could take that back! We moved out about 7 months ago but I feel strongly about waening others! DO NOT LIVE AT MARINERS COVE! There are SO many rules ots ridiculous! The ammenities is how they sell this place. Let me tell you, the ammenities are hardly open and when they are there's so much rifraff you can't enjoy them! The college students they move in for the summer werenalways half naked sun bathing. I was a student not long myself but I would take my top off or wear a string bikini bottom that exposes my entire buttocks in a FAMILY environment! Numerous occasions we left the pool area due to half baked girls! Gross! The worst thing for us was that we weren't allowed to have anything on our patio! No chairs, no grill, no plants, no toys, nothing! They want everything "uniform". Well not everyone is the same and we all enjoy different things and have different tastes. If its not messy and gaudy, why cant we have plants and outdoor furniture? We had nowhere to store our bicycles and were co stantly receiving nasty letters because we kept out bikes on the porch. Its the worst place we've ever lived! Dont be fooled by the landscaping. They onky make common areas that can be seen by potential renters, look nice. They dont clean up trash behind the bushes and they waste a ton of water as their irrigation sprays sidewalks and parking lots! Way to go management! And what are the lawn guys doing blowing all the grass clippings and leaves onto porches? Lastly, there is a TON of crime!!!!! Quite a few bad apples with awful awful children that are constantly unsupervised and run amuck cussing, hitting, vandalizing, throwing trash everywhere. If you value your freedom (sitting outside and enjoying the weather, playing w ur kids) or keeping your belongings (bikes, grills, surf boards, etc) then DO NOT LIVE HERE! Its a huuuuge rip off! And don't expect to get a deposit back at all! Even if u leave it sparkling clean!!!! Money mongers with no real care for renters! The management disgusts me. The ONLY thing they have going for them is Warren, one of the leasing staff). HE should be the property manager!!!! He is the only one who was caring, unserstanding, and down to earth! The rest are mean & unprofessional! I HIGHLY recommend their competition. .. Loma Palisades or Pacific Breeze apartments! Amazing service and staff all around!!!!!!
