Frequently Asked Questions

To start your application, please have government-issued photo ID, proof of income, current address, and your preferred move-in date. Applications can be submitted online or in person with guidance from our leasing team. We review typically within 1–2 business days and will notify you of the decision. If you’re applying with a co-applicant, both parties provide documentation. We’ll walk you through fees and deposits at review.

We offer standard leases aligned with annual terms, with flexibility to fit your move-in goals. Most residents sign 12-month agreements, but shorter or longer terms may be discussed based on availability. Deposit details, current rates, and any move-in specials are updated regularly by our leasing team. We’ll review exact terms for your preferred floor plan and date during your tour or by phone, and tailor a plan that fits your schedule and budget.

Utilities and services are coordinated to keep bills simple. Residents typically set up electric service in their name, while water, trash, pest control, and connectivity may be streamlined through the community for simplicity.

Guided in-person tours are available during our office hours, with flexible times to fit your schedule. Virtual previews and 3D walkthroughs may be available by request so you can preview layouts remotely. After your tour, our leasing team will review current availability, discuss pricing and move-in timelines, and help you compare floor plans side by side to find your best match.

Parking is designed for easy access near each home. On-site parking is available and typically located close to front doors to minimize trips after shopping or beach days. We’ll show you the best spots during your tour and can help you register vehicles if needed. The goal is stress-free arrivals and quick, convenient access to your private entry.

Start by checking current availability and gathering documents (IDs, income records, prior rental history). Submit online or in person, and our team will guide you through each step.

Once approved, we’ll discuss deposits, lease signing, and your preferred move-in date to ensure a smooth, straightforward move.

What lease terms are available and how does pricing work?

Lease terms are designed to be straightforward and flexible within the rhythm of coastal life. Most residents choose a 12-month period, which pairs well with current specials and move-in timing, but we can explore shorter or longer options when availability allows. Pricing is posted clearly and reflects the chosen floor plan, current promotions, and any required deposits. Our team will walk you through the exact numbers for your preferred one- or two-bedroom layout, confirm availability, and outline the steps from application to moving into your chosen cottage.
