It's wonderful to live in a community within a larger community and to be able to walk so many places within the two communities.

I left California & arrived to SC about 2 years ago. Right from the start I was sure this was the apartment made for me. The community is always clean, & the team are always helpful, and kind. And I am happy that I just signed for my 3rd lease! Thank you Element Carolina Bay!

I had a very bad experience with another rental property when I first moved to South Carolina. I had a U-Haul truck full and had no place to live. When I showed up at the office of Element Carolina Bay they greeted me with professionalism and a smile and told me they would help me get into a unit that day. Four hours later, the truck was empty and I was sitting in my new apartment. I couldn't be more happier. Thank You Very Much. John R.
