If you have young children or don't like exercising, DO NOT MOVE TO THESE APARTMENTS. I had a terrible experience there, starting from the moment I moved in. The elevator was practically out of service for a year; it would work for a month and then be broken the next, and often it would take up to a week to fix it. I lived with my husband and our 2-year-old daughter on the 3rd floor, so you can imagine having to carry my daughter and groceries every time the elevator was broken--it was a terrible situation. But the worst part was that I had a neighbor who smoked marijuana 24/7, and the smell that reached my balcony was so strong that I couldn't use it, and my daughter had to stay inside the apartment without being able to go out for fresh air because of the smell. Even though I sent an email to the management, the smell continued, and nothing was done, even though it's supposedly a smoke-free zone and smoking any type of substance is prohibited. The rules simply weren't enforced. In short, I do not recommend it. read more

Me, my husband, and our 3 year old have been living at the sound of Navarre for 9 months. The leasing office does absolutely nothing. We have had numerous issues with cleanliness and emergency maintenance. The carpet was put down horribly and our son ripped his toe open. It took a week for someone to come fix the carpet. The gym is filthy. The chairs to the pool were unserviceable up until 2 days ago. People smoke wherever they want and cigarette butts are left everywhere. People don't clean up after their pets. The elevator smells like a sweaty man and pennies. The lights in the elevator are shattered from people moving in and out. The pool bathrooms are never cleaned. They are sopping wet constantly. Someone actually used the sink in the large stall as their toilet and left it. Who knows how long it sat there. Ashley in the leasing office actually told me to call the health department cause she DOES NOT CARE. We highly do not recommend this horrid complex. read more

We've lived here since July and I will be happy when we move out after our lease is up. For such new apartments they definitely aren't as great as you may think. When we first signed our lease with the temporary manager we explained that we were moving to FL from TN and the night we would be getting in would be very late (3:30 AM) and if she could leave the door unlocked with the key inside which she said wasn't a problem since we'd signed the lease and paid for everything. Well we get here at 3:30 AM with our two year old son and all of our belongings and the door is locked..... So there we were with our two year old son and a moving truck with all our stuff and could not get inside of our apartment. We had to go searching for a hotel to stay at for only a few hours worth of a stay and shell out $250. All the temporary manager did was give a half ass apology and brush it off like she could really care less. So after all of that now I'll explain other aspects of the apartment that aren't good. They are too expensive for what you get. The living space in the two bedroom is very small. After you put furniture in you'll be ready to move out because it's just not roomy at all. The layout is not good at all. You can definitely tell they rushed building these apartments because of the outside of the buildings the rock is already starting to fall off in large chunks. We've had our towel racks break and fall easily and seen cracks in the walls etc... The elevator is constantly not working which makes me feel really bad for the family on our floor who needs to use it because their child is in a wheelchair. Don't get me started on the cleanliness of the elevators... I've called and complained and they had to put in "maintenance reports" just to have it cleaned because they simply just don't care if it's clean or not. We called and complained so many times also about dog pee because people were letting their dogs pee in the elevator inside and outside and it wouldn't get cleaned up. I walked in so much dog pee it was ridiculous. Same with the fitness room I had to call and complain to have it cleaned and they barely cleaned it at all it still had mounds of dust and hair covering the floor all they would do is clean the mirrors. Finally now that they have a actual manager my fiancé and I complained about how awful the workout room looked and she had it cleaned for the first time since I've lived here... The Fitness equipment is ALWAYS messed up "out of order" and doesn't get fixed for months!!! Huge disappointment for the community of people living here paying $1500+ a month to live here... what a joke this place is. If your thinking of moving here I highly recommend you find somewhere else/better to live because these apartments are not well maintained and definitely not worth the high dollar price. read more

Great place to live. We figured being an apartment complex it would be noisy, far from it. The office people are kind and courteous, the staff are attentive and very helpful, especially when needed. I would definitely recommend the Sound at Navarre Beach as a place to live. read more

The leasing office is EXTREMELY helpful with anything you could ever need! They are quick to respond to a phone call or email and answer any and every question. The apartments are very clean upon moving in. The space and cost depends on the floor plan you choose. Absolutely worth every penny. Convenient location as well. I would recommend watching the video on their website. It is accurate! Also, highly recommend speaking to the leasing office! The people are very nice and pleasant to speak to! :) read more

Love staying here! Nice modern style apartments, awesome office personnel, super pet friendly. Great gym equipment and awesome pool. Definitely a place I would recommend to check out. read more

The Sound at Navarre is BEAUTIFUL! It's not far from the beach at all. most of the apartment are still brand new. The pool is usually pretty quiet, and there is a Wal-Mart going up right across the street. read more

Twice Management made an accounting error....their fault. Their response..."if you don't pay back the amount (they made an error on), we will have to turn this over to collections ".....this was their response within 1-2 days of notifying me. This is why I left....move to a location nearby with much better customer service. read more

I have lived at the Sound at Navarre Beach apartments for nearly 3 years, and am one of the first residents. While there are always challenges of sharing space with hundreds of others in a small area, the management team cares deeply about the residents and always work in a fair, focused, and professional manner. I've lived all over the country and this is - hands down - the best apartment in which I have lived. Hint: the fourth floor high ceilings are awesome, as are the balcony views in the mornings! And... if you are a dog lover, your dog will love the naturally-wooded dog park. read more

The Sound at Navarre has an AMAZING staff AND maintenance personnel!! You will love them and feel at home (a cozy home) in this wonderful community! read more

The sound is a perfect name for the property, because "the sound" upstairs is ridiculous. I've lived in apartments my entire life and I have always had upstairs neighbors so hearing someone walk even with heavy feet is nothing new but the kids upstairs are rolling blading & running & body slamming each other. I had made several complaints however it continues. I attempted to reach out to the curtesy officer who couldn't be bothered,because it was before 10pm, to just kindly talk to them to avoid any confrontation with the resident. I then had to take it upon myself to speak with the resident once and it only made the situation worse because now the mom and her kids do it purposefully. I have multiple videos of my light fixtures shaking. I sent a couple of these video to management and was given a formal yet unprofessional email basically blaming me and making me out to be the bad guy when all I want is to simply not have a WWE match above my apartment while my infant is sleeping. I reached out to the area manager, spoke to her about the situation. She was polite and listened to my concerns but she was suppose to either email or call with the solution and I didn't hear from her nor the office which I called countless times throughout the day. It wasn't until I called from someone else's phone that they answered which as I explained to them seemed to me that they were screening my calls as previous reviewers have mentioned and I truly believe it. This property has made me feel helpless as the property manager, Ashley mentioned in her email to me stating that stomping in an apartment is apart of apartment living. At this point since the stomping is intentional I feel as though I am being harassed. As generally speaking, criminal harassment entails intentionally targeting someone else with behavior that is meant to alarm, annoy, torment or terrorize them. This is unacceptable living conditions and suggest you not waste your time here. On top of this situation, we are constantly having to have pest control come out because the building is full of water roaches. After multiple sprays, new weather stripping, constant cleaning, closing drains, etc we are disgusted with this experience as we have never encountered bugs on this level before. When we first moved in we were told we had new carpet yet the carpet was full of dog food and glass. The maintenance guys quickly came to check out the carpet so I commend them for their quick response but even after they vacuumed we were still find glass throughout the apartment. Come to find out, someone broke one of the glass shelves in the fridge so that's where the glass came from and we were missing a shelf in our fridge. For an apartment that had a walk through prior to us moving in, these are major things that should have been caught. The apartment itself has decent fixtures, however I advise that you do pay attention to the layout closely as we didn't and now we're stuck with a tiny closet in the room used by my husband and using the coat closet as my closet and having no outside storage. We also have to awkwardly use one of the cabinets as our pantry...it's just weird that we needed to pay attention to that but best believe we have learned our lesson to make sure we have simple things like storage space and a pantry. Location isn't bad as the small mart (neighborhood Walmart) is across the street, Navarre beach is less than 10 mins away, and we haven't felt unsafe as far as the area goes but my review still stands.... read more

My apartment at The Sound isn't just another house, it is my home! I have no complaints. The whole office staff has accommodated all of my needs being in a wheelchair. Gina and Alicia never even hesitate to help when I need something, and Ashlea is always so nice and helpful when I go in and have a question. Not to mention Greg and Eddie (sweetest maintenance guys) came to my rescue almost immediately last week when I called. Thank you guys so much for making this experience the best I've ever had at an apartment complex. Couldn't imagine retiring anywhere else in Navarre! read more

The women in the office are rude and talk down to you. Ashley has resting b face who has so much attitude when she speaks to you. Gina acts as if she's too busy or good to take time out of her busy day for you. I was told my move in day was a Sunday and to pick up the keys that morning. It only came apparent to them when I pointed out the office was closed on Sunday. They made it seem as if they were doing me the biggest favor by giving me the keys Saturday. Very unorganized from the first day. Then my apartment had fleas and the office did not care. They sent a crappy exterminator who half ass sprayed. It was clear he did not want me there so I definitely made sure to stay and watch his lazy job. He came back the next week for a follow up. I was told to not have my dog in there when the chemicals are sprayed and to stay out for two hours. I took off work to take my dog somewhere while this was going on. When the man came he informed me this was a verbal follow up appointment and he wasn't spraying anything. I called Gina right away and she did a very insincere apology and told me she understands the way I was feeling because she had an ant problem before. AN ANT PROBLEM?? My dog is being attacked by fleas by a problem I did not cause and you are doing nothing to fix it. "I can not be put into a bubble" and she cannot guarantee if I were to move units the next apartment would not have fleas. Okay gross. Don't move in here. They look nice and pretty but it is not worth the money. Too expensive for what you're actually getting. Charging for trash? Just save your money and find somewhere else. I'm over typing I could go on. But don't move in here. read more

The Smoking Policy Lease Terms are not enforced. It is stated on other websites under Features "Smoke Free"; this is a misrepresentation of the truth. The Smoking Policy allows individuals to smoke everywhere but their apartments. My neighbor downstairs smokes constantly on his patio and the smoke comes onto my patio. It is turning my patio door glass yellow and enters my apartment. I cannot use my patio at all. If the neighbor gets into the elevator and then you get in, you get knocked back 10 feet by the smell. You can't tell me this smell doesn't get into the apartment too! I have complained in writing on 3 different occasions about the downstairs neighbor. In the Smoking Policy, it states that a resident can be asked to not smoke on their patio if their smoking affects the health and safety of other individuals. In 2 of my complaints I have referred to this statement and the apartment complex refuses to enforce it. There answer is for me to buy a fan for my patio. An outdoor fan is expensive and it would have to run constantly which in turn would make my electric bill skyrocket. They should purchase the fan for the patio and supply the electrical power! The lease should be enforced and it isn't! I live in the Cabana Floor Plan. I highly recommend you take the 3D Tour on Apartments.com because it is 90% accurate. A few items not shown in the 3D Tour include the bedroom closet, laundry room and shower. The Bedroom closet is a walk in but you might run into yourself if you turn around. It is very small and the closet at the entrance is twice the size. The Laundry Room has a stackable washer/dryer. There is zero storage in the room so you will need to invest in storage solutions for your detergent, dryer sheets, hanging clothes and folding. The dryer portion does not have a buzzer so don't be surprised if you leave your clothes in the dryer. The Shower only gives you 5 +/- minutes of hot water before it goes cold. read more

Me and my nanna had moved in not too long ago, and all I can say is... WOW! Closest apartment community to the beach without being ON the beach. Their pool area makes you feel like you're living at a resort! Whole place gives off good vibes. read more

We couldn't wait to break our lease. We built a new build home across the street that is 3bed/2bath & even nicer & pay less than what our 700 sq ft apartment here was. You have to pay a trash fee to set your trash outside in a used trash can. It's a great service for the elderly residents or those who actually want to use it, but from what nearly everyone just walks to the trash chute to do it themselves. There were strict trash rules, when we broke it once we got a warning to be charged for it. Meanwhile our neighbor continued to leave out his trash breaking the rule with his raw meat plates, empty alcohol bottles, & empty box of condoms laying out for all to see for weeks & there's no way he was getting in much trouble considering it was a $50 fine if you broke the rule. He was friends with one of the maitnence men so it wouldn't shock me if he got away with it. This community was described as nonsmoking but our neighbor smoked constantly leaving his shot glass for an ash tray out in the common ways. Other residents did on their balconies. Within our first week of living here we were constantly kept up by our neighbors above us. You could hear them walking, doors shutting, cabinets closing, garbage disposal. I thought with a newly built complex this wouldn't happen much. We contacted management after pulling all nighters for weeks and all they did was leave them a voicemail. We had to awkwardly write a note to our new neighbors explaining the issue and luckily it was resolved, but truthfully shouldn't have been faced in the first place. You get no heads up as to when maitnence would come by or an estimated time frame making it really hard to go about your day. Our shower drain would clog nearly every month. Maitnence would come & tell me what tools to buy to fix it. That's the last thing I'm going to do when I'm paying this much for an apartment. For weeks we were getting bugs in our apartment. Cockroaches, centipedes, you name it. Pest control would come here & there, but it did no good because we had a gaping hole in the seal of our front door. You could see the light shining through it and knew that's where they were coming in from. After putting in several maitnence request it was finally resolved after WEEKS. The worst part of living here were the fleas. My dogs have never had fleas in their lifetime and never left the campus of this complex so it was clear they got them here. This created the biggest nightmare we've ever had to go through. One of our dogs ended up shaved to the bone & both were covered in hot spots. We spent a small fortune trying to rid of them & help. I could literally see the fleas hopping onto my dog's back when i let them out to go to the bathroom in the grass here. Pest control only comes one day of the week & getting help from them took WEEKS. Management would fail to put my apartment on the schedule. On one occasion after waiting all day for pest control to come by because you get no estimate for timing, I went down to the office to ask when I should expect them to come by only to find out they left for the day & wouldnt be returning for another week! Alicia from management spoke to me sarcastically like I was an idiot & it was my fault I missed them. She even walked away from me mid conversation & wouldn't believe a word I'd say. I didn't even have a car to leave & hardly let my dogs out all day to be sure I wouldn't miss them. I had never been treated so rudely in my life by an employee. My family and I were up until 3 am some nights trying to rid of fleas. You'd think with that apartment going to another family one day & how fast fleas multiply management would care a little more to rid of them? The dog park is so covered in fleas one employee even told me "never go there, it's covered". The features inside the place nice, but the jobs are sloppy. We found dripped paint on walls, towel bars, doors. Manufacture stickers were half ripped off our granite. Elevators were always filthy. Breezeways to apartment doors were filthy. Theyll spray to kill bugs, but they don't clean it up, so it was just littered in dead bugs. Things were always breaking. You could hardly ever get them on the phone, only email. Expect high electricity bills because opening the only two windows we had in our apartment on a cool day meant it was probably going to be almost 80° inside because of how poor the ventilation was. The washing machine couldn't get the tiniest of stains. Mediacom WiFi & cable that you're required to have was always going in & out. We couldn't wait to break our lease early, even if we did have to pay 2 grand to do so. read more

This would appear to be a nice apartment complex, but here is the deal. The complex is still under construction and that may not be a big deal until you listen to heavy equipment, hammers pounding, workers cussing, it is bad during the week but weekends are terrible! You would think you could at least relax or sleep late on the weekend, no they work!!! The trash room is overflowing with bags of trash, no room in the shoot to dump. That is if you miss daily trash pickup of one kitchen size trash bag that you pay for every month! No choice in this charge you pay for you trash to be picked up. If you miss them you have to take to the overflowing trash room. Now if that is not bad enough for you, rats greet you, yes I said RATS!!! are in the trash room!!!! To add to the overall nightmare, the rats must run around at night, look all along the hall ways in any of the buildings and you will see rat droppings. Not trying to be mean here, but just do not move into this place. read more
