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 Additionally apartments are not outdated and look nice.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.

Cortland is a very accommodating community. Everyone is friendly, parking is ample, and our pool area is gorgeous. The complex seems safe and I highly recommend!

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!

Got charged for replacing the carpet when no stains were present due to "odor" that did not exist. Overall convenient location and nice complex to live but be careful about move out charges Update: Cortland has resolved this issue. Thanks!

LOVED our tour with Sean! He was so informative and professional. We loved the Gazebo and the grounds. We still have a couple of other places to tour, but this place is currently at the top of our list. Thank you Sean for being such a welcoming presence!

Cortland at Brighton Bay was great when we moved in but the management continues to make improvements around the property. The grounds are always very clean. The office staff are wonderful. There are often community events that are fun and worthwhile, we look forward to connecting with neighbors at these. Communication to residents is very timely and appropriate. My husband, toddler and I have been here 16 months and we love it.

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 have been living at Cortland Brighton Bay for a year and can attest to how the staff goes above and beyond to ensure my living experience here is a good one. I had a few issues when I first moved in but they were VERY quick to address them all! The office staff is great at letting you know what's going on in the community. For example... when the community was painted, and when fire inspections were done in the Apts... they sent out daily text messages letting everyone know exactly when they were going to get to each building, and I have a dog that was supper important to me. Even when I put in maintenance tickets they will let me schedule a time so I can be home for my dog. Melissa and Kelly are awesome, nice, and extremely professional!! 😊

Great move-in experience! The entire leasing staff is so helpful and kind. One of the team members even remembered me by name from a visit a year ago - so sweet! We had a few things that needed addressing upon move in and they were tackled so quickly and professionally. So far, so great!

Brighton Bay has it all!! Let’s just say they the best spacious bark park divided for small and large dogs, car wash station and very clean community. The finishes are great and apartments are super spacious. Feels like you are in you little island, such a quiet area, perfect for walking and great restaurants by the area. Customer service is on point and shout out to the super ladies in the team Melissa, Kelly, Liz and Millie. Service team is also amazing Tom and Micheal get things down before you know it ! Amazing property .

Moving from NJ to FL without having the ability to visit in person during our apartment search due to the pandemic was nerve racking. Safety, accessibility, affordability were most important to us. 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 recently inquired about your community for an older relative. Living out of state while assisting with this task is challenging. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and attentive service provided by your staff member Anthony! Thanks again for your guidance and help!

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!
