  • Mia Schuster

    We had such an amazing experience working with Sandra at Cortland Brighton Bay! She helped us through the entire process of transferring my lease from my previous unit into a new unit with my new roommate, and she truly went above and beyond to make what could have been a complicated and stressful process feel so easy. Sandra was incredibly helpful, patient, kind, and always willing to answer our questions and walk us through everything we needed to do. She was also so personable and funny, which made the whole experience even better. We genuinely felt like she cared about making sure everything went smoothly for us, and we are so grateful for all of her help! We absolutely love Cortland Brighton Bay and our new apartment, and experiences like this are a huge part of why. Sandra is an amazing part of the team and deserves recognition.

  • Mitchell Kuhn

    I love living here, it’s my favorite apartment I’ve ever had. All of the staff interactions I’ve had have been really positive, but a truly special shoutout is required for the GOAT maintenance man MIKE. If you put in a request he’ll be at your door within the hour, or half hour, or sooner. He’ll fix whatever issue you’re having in minutes with the friendliest attitude. A true homie.

    I had an issue with my plumbing on a Saturday, and Mike from maintenance showed up within the hour and got everything taken care of. He has a great attitude and completely turned around my weekend. Super grateful for his hard work.

    Response from the community · Aug 30, 2026

    Julia, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled Mike responded so promptly on a Saturday and resolved the plumbing issue with such a positive attitude. We truly appreciate your kind words about him, and we’re grateful to have dedicated associates like Mike on our service team at Cortland Brighton Bay.

    I have had the privilege of calling Cortland Brighton Bay home for nearly five years, and I've been hard-pressed to find a home that would be comparable or better. During that time, any issues brought up to the office and/or maintenance staff have been handled quickly and with care. The office staff is kind, and quick to help how they can, when they can. They do an exceptional job at making you feel like family, and do an even better job of balancing the corporate, resident, and normal Florida-living demands, with grace and understanding. I've personally seen Millie and Sandra extend their hearts past their job requirements. The cherry on top is the maintenance staff. Always available on-site to keep most everything in top shape, they really make the experience of living here into a great one. In particular, Mike is a beam of positive energy and light. Always eager to help, listen or fix, he is a true gem of the community. Thank you, team at Cortland, for turning a rental community, into a home.

    Response from the community · Aug 26, 2026

We are also delighted that our service team’s prompt attention and positive energy have made such a lasting impression. Thank you for choosing Cortland Brighton Bay and for being such a valued part of our community.
