Mayflower Apartments

Amazing location, you cannot beat that in VA beach. Close to everything and specifically to the beach walk.....love to walk or jog every morning. The staff is great and very helpful when it comes to residents needs!

I don’t know what other reviews are talking about this place is well kept and has great views! Also close and convenient to all shopping and restaurants! Staff is very friendly and responsive they really care about their tenants, and prices are very reasonable. If you are considering renting I would suggest you go as soon as possible this place will be filling up quickly!!

Beautiful community! I loved the customer service that I experienced with Nicole. She is incredibly professional and goes out of her way to make me feel at home. Mayflower may be an older building, however it's cozy and a landmark here on the East Coast. The community really makes me feel at home and it's always nice to be able to see the ocean on a daily basis. The staff here at Mayflower Apartments is completely professional and their hard work does not get unnoticed. They all deserve the... best and a kind community helps with that. Within the last year the upgrades have improved tremendously and I appreciate the blood, sweat, and tears that maintenance puts up with.
I as well as my friends visiting from out of town enjoyed the amenities here at Mayflower. The indoor and outdoor pools are always relaxing and crystal clean. The fitness center helps me stay in shape, and the large clubhouse is fun to gather with friends and the community. There are resident events where I enjoy meeting new like minded individuals. Mayflower has been an enjoyable place for me to reside at. I love my cute apartment and the view can't be beat. Mayflower staff you all are truly amazing, thank you all for your hard work!!!

Everything is broken even the "amenities" they offer. Elevators never work. Laundry rooms are sometimes broken and leak water. There have been many occasions where the heater does not work during the winter. I recently began renting here and I am already regretting it and finding a new place because it is just is not worth it for the amount they charge for an apartment. Outside of the complex always has trash around and their dog stations are always with pet waste with their trash area... overfilling and never cleaned. Read More

The staff does their best, but they are fighting a losing battle with a very old building and an understaffed maintenance crew.

In my four years the building, my apartment flooded from above to varying degrees ~4/5 times. Often maintenance wouldn't respond for days/weeks, and a few times not at all. The water would also be turned off for long stretches every few weeks or so because of some critical plumbing issue they had to fix.

Lots of roaches because so many residents refuse to follow the... trash rules. Generally, had a lot of quite disrespectful neighbors. If signs have to be put up to not let your pet go to the bathroom in the elevator or hallway - there is clearly an issue. Hard to really blame the Mayflower staff for so many of the issues the residents caused.

Moving out - lots of confusing math and charges on the final bill, to hilariously include a $100 cleaning fee when the carpet was completely soaked due to yet another flood from the apartment above.

Try to get a unit facing away from 34th street - the pool and parking garage across the street are both extremely loud, especially on busy summer weekends. Lots of loud music and revving engines on both Atlantic and Pacific, generally, to include cop cars, fire trucks, and ambulances screaming by at all hours.

The 'upgraded' apartments certainly look better, but they are a facelift on a building with a lot of problems. Also - good luck if you live underneath someone with kids and/or dogs in an upgraded apartment - those new hardwood floors are insanely loud from below.

But all in all - solid location, couldn't be closer to the beach or boardwalk - I really enjoyed that aspect of the place. Get yourself a nice bicycle and you can cruise right to all the bars, restaurants, and concerts, that part was really awesome.

I'd say the Mayflower is okay for a year or two if you want to be right in the thick of the excitement at the oceanfront, but after that the various problems with the building and general craziness of the tourist-y area start to get real old, real quick. Read More
