This is an excellent community with an excellent clubhouse staff and supervisors. The service team is also exceptional, I was amazed at well the buildings and grounds held up after the two historic hurricanes and how fast the service team cleared vegetation and and repaired things afterwards.

Overall experience is great. The fitness center could use an update or boost in functionality to provide more options and ability for a workout. The pool could include some outdoor TV's to hangout and enjoy on the weekends watching sports etc. All recommendations are more extra then necessary, overall a great experience.

**Hurricane Milton Update** Community has survived! I love this place, so I’m happy to see it come out of Milton in the condition it has. Some panels off buildings, a few screens open, lots of tree debris, some trash containers scattered, but otherwise okay! We did not lose power at all (bldg 4), and saw lights on whenever we looked outside. Only lost internet/cell service for a few hours morning after storm. Did lose water for a few hours overnight, came back on in the morning. Flooding was 1/3 of Helene, but winds were 100x, rain was constant buckets for 4-6 hours. Hope this helps those of you who evacuated, waiting to come home.

**MILTON UPDATE**: I love this community, have lived here for 3 years (this week, ironically). I am staying during Milton (3rd floor), and will provide updates as I can, via google reviews, since our resident portal seems to be stuck in the 2000’s. Not a lot of people stayed behind. Storm has shifted/wobbled to the south, possibly sparing Tampa Bay from 15+’ storm surge. Will update tomorrow (Wed. 10/9) afternoon once weather hits. Hope this helps someone.

We only toured here, however, we thought the property was beautiful and clean, nice pool and leasing office, and Liz is an absolute sweetheart! Beautiful units here and it seemed like a peaceful community - and it seemed VERY affordable. We ultimately have decided to go with a different complex that suits some of our needs better, but this is a well kept complex and definitely worth checking out.

Been here for about a month, and the whole staff really works hard to elevate your experience. As with apartment living, we ran into hiccups but they were promptly solved and our concerns were addressed very quickly. Sandra, from the office, was really communicative and worked very hard to address any issues we had very quickly. Andy and Mike, from the maintenance team, have also been amazing in solving any maintenance issues, and things are fixed within a day or two (usually much faster). We’re really thankful that everyone has been so kind and accommodating. Very happy to call Cortland Brighton Bay home.

Cortland Brighton Bay is a great community to live in. Requests for service are addressed quickly. I put in a request on a Sunday morning because my air conditioning wasn't cooling. The service technician Mike Pennington was here to repair it in little over an hour. He not only fixed the problem but he also explained what the problem was. Most importantly to me he made sure it worked properly before leaving. Thank you Mike.

She was the sweetest lady, I was in a time crunch to get this apartment and she made the process so easy as so fast. Cortland is lucky to have such an upbeat caring employee. Any question or concerns I’ve had since moving in was answered promptly by someone. I’ve only lived here for a month but the property the staff and the community as a whole has been pretty impressive and a joy to live in. I love my apartment it’s so spacious the rooms and the closet are huge for an apartment. I’m very happy here and hope to be here a while.

They were very efficient and quick to respond to any of my many questions. I was somewhat worried about the noise level coming from a house to an apartment. Honestly if it wasn’t for our ring doorbell, we’d never know anyone was walking by. It is very quiet, even on the weekends. Definitely would recommend living here to anyone that asks.

Wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars. The front office staff is amazing no questions asked about that. They have a food truck a couple times a week which is nice when you’re getting off a 12 hr shift. The apartment complex is quiet at all times of the day. The lake is awesome especially when the otters come out to play. They even have a big koi fish that must be 3-4 feet long that swims around. And Mike the maintenance guys is the man. Not because we have the same name or anything but the man goes the extra mile. He gets things fixed quick and efficient. He’s super friendly always saying hi as he drives by on the cart or walking around the complex. You can tell Mike loves his job and honestly deserves a raise in my books.

I have a problem with roaches possibly coming through cracks from the front door and the management team has fixed the door. I still find dead roaches but not as many as before. Hopefully the pest control will take care of the problem. I truly appreciate the management team and Madi Morris for always taking care of my needs right away.

My first impression of Cortland Brighton Bay was how incredibly beautiful it is. I love to walk around the lake and look at all the wildlife, the birds, turtles and of course the Otters. The residents are very friendly and everyone always says hi as they walk by, but what makes this place the best is the management and maintenance staff. They are all so caring and good at their job, they make me feel so welcome. Not to mention the food trucks, the gift wrapping station at the holidays and the thank you events like the BBQ and free breakfast! Overall it has been a pleasure living here.

I was looking and looking and looking, touring apartment after apartment, and no one gave me quite the experience that Cortland Brighton Bay did. It was my 3rd tour of the day, and I fell in love. My leasing agent Liz, she was PHENOMENAL. I have had several things get in my way of moving after already paying for my application and Liz has never hesitated to help! They were able to accommodate a last minute apartment change due to me being summoned for Jury duty and when I got laid off and informed Liz that I no longer could move at this time, they opted to move me to a waiting list so that it would keep my application active in the system and I didn't have to go through the whole process again. 10 out of 10 recommend this apartment, and 10 out of 10 recommend Liz! I am looking forward to getting everything back on track and continuing my move to Cortland Brighton Bay in St. Pete!

We have had a great experience so far here at Cortland Brighton Bay. My boyfriend received an amazing job offer in this area that we didn't want to pass up, however they gave us a 2 week window to make a decision, which did not leave us any time at all to travel and check places out. Considering that, at the time, we lived across the country, we were going in pretty blind and it was one of the scariest things I have ever done! I got into contact with Millie and she was amazing. She took the time to answer every question/concern that I had and was incredibly informative and kind through the whole process. She just rose above all other options every time and made me feel truly secure in my decision. Upon our arrival, I was not disappointed, this place is beautiful and well maintained. We met the rest of the team, and everyone made us feel so welcomed. Maddy and Liz are both so kind as well!

The staff at Cortland were really accommodating and always ready to answer any questions I had. All of the amenities were kept up with and any service request was handled in a timely manner. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first apartment experience.

Madi and the team at Cortland Brighton Bay located off Gandy Blvd are not only exceptional but help create a wonderful atmosphere of family, community and welcoming. I have lived here for 3.5 years and I continue to be amazed at Ms. Madi's professionalism and care for her residents. In today's climate we often see a lack of authenticity. Ms. Madi is not just authentic she is consistent and focused on providing the very best living arrangements for her residents clean and safe community

Moving to Cortland Brighton Bay from a cold state up north was a wonderful experience! From the moment my family and I arrived we were met with friendly service and great neighbors. Madi at the front office has been extremely kind and helpful whenever we need help with anything. Any issues that come up are quickly addressed and resolved. We are just as happy as when we arrived two years ago. We have felt very safe in the area and our dog has loved making new friends! I definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a nice community in the St Pete/Tampa area to give Cortland Brighton Bay a try. Don’t forget to ask for Madi!

I lived in three different apartments here and couldn’t have been happier with my experience start to finish. Beautiful community, incredible staff (who really do care about you.. huge plus), and all around the community is the best value for what you’re paying for in this area. So close to everything you need. If you’re having a hard time choosing between another community and this one, I assure you this is the one to choose! 👍🏻👍🏻

I lived at Cortland for 2.5 years and just moved out. Always felt safe, despite the gates not working (I believe they started working a few days after I moved, and was finally able to enjoy the new gazebo before I left. There are definitely pros and cons to all places but I could not have been happier that I chose to live at Cortland. The office staff and is friendly, maintenence was always spot on in terms of time to complete orders, and all staff were definitely animal lovers. My dog Kila loveddd to try to pull me to the office when we would pass on our walks to go say hi to the staff. I Would definitely like to shout out Crystalline (I hope i'm spelling that right) and the maintenance manager. They both were always very helpful, kind, and attempted to fix any issues I had in a timely manner. Sad I left but so happy that I spent my first few years in Florida there.

Have nothing but love for Cortland Brighton Bay!! My wife and I moved down from New Jersey about 3 years ago and rented from Cortland Vera Sanford and moved to the gulf coast about 2 years ago and stuck with Cortland. The office staff always has a big smile on their faces and are always happy to assist. I have and will continue to recommend the Cortland brand.

I have been living here for about 6 months and my experience has been fantastic. The complex is in a beautiful area and is centrally located in Tampa Bay so it is easy to get around. There's plenty of parking and it's first come/serve so guests can get spots easily without worrying about getting towed. The ceilings are 10ft+ in all apartments and appliances are updated. Maintenance is incredibly efficient and I have never had an open request for more than 2 days. When I first moved in there was actually an issue with their contracted cleaning service so my apartment was not clean when I arrived. The office made sure my unit was cleaned right away and I was able to get all of my maintenance concerns handled in the first three days of me living there. To make up the inconvenience the office comped my first week or so of rent without me having to ask, which was a great sign. Six months later, the office regularly sends out surveys to the residents and actually listens to the responses. Since I've moved in they h

We loved living here, the property is quiet and the maintenance staff is very quick to fix things. We loved using the new grill by the pond and the gym. The bike trail on Gandy was another amenity we used heavily. Liz was the agent who signed us and we have lived here almost two years and would recommend. Thanks Cortland!

When I first visited this complex two years ago, I knew within 30 seconds that I would lease here. My experience in the leasing office was the most pleasant I'd ever had. The apartment staff assists me with all kinds of stuff that makes my life much easier (changing A/C filters, light bulbs, etc.). One staff member even moved my car for me while I was gone so it wouldn't get towed during parking lot maintenance. The property is beautiful. The area is quiet. The residents are polite. I was not incentivized to write this review. I only felt compelled to write some kind words because Cortland and the staff here deserve some positive comments after all they've done for me.

I lived at Cortland Brighton Bay for around 7 months before moving away. I've looked at tons of apartments in St Petersburg, mainly similar price or cheaper, and if you're looking for the most for the price this is the best you can get. Other Cortland properties are slightly more expensive and this one is better and cheaper. Spend the extra $100-200/m to come here instead of a cheaper option if you're able to. The leasing team has always been great, the pool area is super nice in front of the pond, and the property is always upkept well. The maintenance team is the absolute best.

Lived here for almost 3 years and overall it was pretty nice. But like all places one lives it has its pros and cons, however with this complex thankfully there are more pros than cons. Amenities are always clean and up to date, the pool is beautiful and they just updated the other side of the “pond” with a new beautiful grill. I have always felt safe here as a female and have walked by myself day and night with no issues. The community and area are nice to walk around, which is a plus if you have a fur baby its a very pupper friendly community. Additionally apartments are not outdated and look nice. My only cons are that parking can be a hit or miss depending on what building you live in. Also staff overall (all staff both previous and new) need to work on internal communication better. I do recommend living here, great location to all things local, amenities are nice, community is clean, and safe.

Moving here was such a breath of fresh air! Millie our leasing consultant was so helpful and always made us feel like we were the only ones she was helping, something I know that can be hard to do! The move in process was so easy and I felt so welcomed. I love my new apartment. It is so nice and they have come to quickly fix any minor issues that come with getting a new apartment. The grounds are so well kept and the pool area is so nice. I would recommend this apartment complex to absolutely everyone. I love living here!

I recently was planning a move from NJ to the Tampa area. I didn't know where I would live but I knew I needed to be in the vicinity of Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater. After months and months of research, I contacted CBB and was greeted by Mily. Right off the bat, Mily was transparent, understanding and compassionate. Mily understood that this move was very stressful for me. She took her time sending me pictures and answering my thousand calls and emails. Fast forward to move in day, we pulled into the complex and I was immediately impressed with the grounds and how beautiful everything was! I got the keys and opened up my door and was immediately overwhelmed with how nice and clean my apartment was! I am in love and I know wholeheartedly that I made the right decision for me and my dog Kaia. I couldn't be happier and I am super grateful. BIG thank you to Mily and CBB!

I contacted Liz at the office for more information and I’m so grateful for all her help in assuring us we would have everything we needed. She walked us through the move in process step by step, went above and beyond, and was very transparent about everything! She made us feel like prt of the community even before we got here! We are so happy we chose to live at Cortland Brighton Bay!

My situation was very unique. My partner and I moved from out of state, we viewed the apartments both virtually and in person back in June 2020. We weren’t sold at first, the apartment came across our news feeds once more in October, we decided to take a second look. Liz Donoian was incredible, she insisted going above and beyond with her virtual tour. Showing my partner and I the apartment once again. Her outstanding attitude gave us hope, she has been amazingly friendly. I would recommend this property to any one. Liz we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for making this transition such a easy and stress free process.

I moved from another state and was SO nervous moving into a place site unseen essentially. I worked with Liz from the beginning to the end of the process. Liz was by far the most incredible person to work with. She made the transition so so so easy and no stress. This could have been a very stressful move. Liz made it everything but that! Thank You Liz for the incredible move in process and follow up on everything. Definitely recommend this property and Liz. She definitely sold the place and knows what she is doing. I’m so happy to be a resident because of apartment etc but also from Liz who was and is extremely responsive to any questions and or needs for the property!!

From July 2020-January I was traveling in healthcare. I was constantly in and out of hotels. I was originally supposed to move into student housing but due to an emergency and battling covid, I was off work for 7 weeks from November 9th until mid December. And i lost the apartment. I went in apartment finder, and I found the Cortland. And I have never been to pleased with such amazing service. Especially Mrs. Rebecca Coursey, one of their very own Lessing agents. They are so humble, and so friendly. It makes me feel like I am at home, even more! I am 1000 miles away from my family. And I love the fact, that when I come here, I am home. I highly recommend this place. And the hospitality and amenities are so great. You will be very pleased! I am so glad I found this place. I highly recommend it. ❤️

Just moved in to Cortland Brighton Bay and am so pleased! I just moved from Ohio and was not familiar with the St. Petersburg area. I toured 8 apartment complexes and picked Cortland Brighton Bay because of my leasing agent Rebecca Coursey, the updated apartments, and the beautiful location. Rebecca and the rest of the office staff hands down were the most friendly and professional staff that I dealt with during my selection process, and like I said, I toured so many apartment complexes. Very happy with my choice!

Rebecca, Melissa, Sandra, and Anthony have been amazing. Maintenance is also very quick to fix any issues I have and they also leave such a lovely note behind explaining what was done which is actually very comforting to not only know who was in your apartment but they leave the notes of what was completed. They are STELLAR! The entire office staff has gone above and beyond to accommodate me. I'm currently getting ready to transfer to a different apartment within the community and everyone goes out of their way to make sure to take care of you. Not to mention, the apartments are so lovely, upgraded. Neighbors are friendly. I love living here and I'm sure you would like it to!

I am just rating my inquiry and application process. 5 stars! Everyone I spoke with was nice. I would like to highlight Rebecca Coursey, who was extremely helpful and informative. She is the best leasing consultant I have had. i have lived in 5 different apartments (and dealt with so many more leasing agents). I had some hesitations and reservations on taking the leap to apply; she remained honest and wasn't afraid to tell me she would get back to me with the best answer (a lot of other agents have lied to get me to sign). I applied and look forward to continuing to work with her. She is an amazing face for the complex and deserves all the kudos from me!
