Marina View Apartments

"Spectacular view of Sturgeon Bay! Units are reasonably priced for the Metro Area. And the manager is awesome. Residents are very friendly and pleasant. Snow removal is outstanding. This is my no. 1 place to live in Sturgeon Bay. Very soothing to the nerves and every day in Door County is a vacation day!"

"2 bed 2 bath overlooking the little lighthouse and Marina. Best views. Lynn is great to work with. Best thing is the view and cathedral ceilings. Low utilities and garage. Loved it there. Moved out of state. Still available. 14 hundred square feet"

"On the positive side, the location is fabulous. BUT, there are no storage lockers and a 1 car garage so small that you can fit about 6 totes and a car inside. The washer lid slammed on my hands with every use and barely agitates. The dryer door consistently hit me on the head. The dishwasher was LOUD and virtually useless. We called maintenance about these issues several times and was told that they were unable to correct the situations. We called three times about a dripping shower. The first time we were told that it wasn't dripping. They did not respond to our last two calls. Upon moving out we were told not to move out the washer, stove, and refrigerator as we could damage the tile. They would do that. We were charged outrageously for their efforts as well as fined $200 for a quarter sized spot on the 7 year old carpeting. Worst of all, after scrubbing down the apt, polishing all of the woodwork, scouring the deck and rails, washing the floor on our hands and knees, etc. we were told that we left the apt filthy and suffered large cleaning fines. Oh yes,and the mailbox key sucked. It could take several minutes to extract the key from the lock. We were also missing a screen door while every other apt had one. Snow removal is good. The lawn care guys are very sweet. I would not personally recommend these apts."

"Didn't get to see inside the apartments themselves, but they look very nice from the outside. Heated pool is available that is also covered for those rainy summer days."

"I was able to move in during winter and Ken (landlord) was very accommodating to this and created a 6 month lease for me. The cost was $825 but did not include utilities. Initially I asked what all utilities would be on average and was told between $35-$60 (on the high end because winter was so cold this year). Overall I've been paying consistently $96-98 for Sturgeon Bay Utilities and then $15-20 for Wisconsin Public Service Utilities. This has been the most I've paid for utilities in all the years I've been renting since my college days. Rent was going to be going up to $840 in the coming year also so I decided to move. I also felt the security deposit fee was a bit steep at $1,000. Overall the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartments are nice and I could see the water from about 100 yards away but I couldn't justify the price in Sturgeon Bay WI. A lot of the other tenants are middle aged to retired so it's very quiet which can have it's advantages. The detached garage is a nice touch to have but a lot of the snow would melt and form ice under the garage door and the sides of the garage. This might not have been the case for all garages because I was on the lower part of the hill but overall I had plenty of room to park my car and put my kayak on one side. About 3-4 people moved in/out within the span that I was there. Overall it was a good experience as I was in a tight spot when moving to find a place to live and with a few adjustments to the security deposit not being so high, perhaps a little lower cost of rent or covering some of the utilities... this would be an ideal spot to live in Sturgeon Bay."
