My partner and I live in another property managed by the same company. We love that they allow us to enjoy the pool and hot tub since our property doesn't have these amenities. The staff at Pacific Shores is always so helpful and happy to have us, and the facilities are great!

There's hardly have any handicap parking. Things are broken in the apartments and they take forever to be fixed.
