I moved into Aquatera in October 2025 and virtually everything from staff friendliness to functionality of my building and grounds has exceeded my expectations. I used the salt water pool for the first time a few days ago (now that the weather and water is warm) and loved it. Grill areas and fitness center also clean and never crowded. People living her seem to respect the grounds and do not trash the area, and always pick up after their dogs, etc etc. Overall excellent community, well-run... and I'm fully satisfied. Jack R.

I love the café and the gym area.
It’s a beautiful, peaceful place to live, and the pools are always clean; the layout of the apartments is very well thought out.

This apartment community has been a great place to live. The amenities are well maintained and very useful, making day-to-day life convenient and enjoyable. The staff is one of the best parts—they are friendly, responsive, and always willing to help with any concerns or questions. You can tell they genuinely care about the residents and work hard to create a positive living experience.

The environment here is welcoming and comfortable, and the residents are respectful and kind, which really...
adds to the overall atmosphere. It feels like a community rather than just a place to stay. I’ve had a great experience living here and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a safe, supportive, and enjoyable place to call home.

...compared to the (3) single family (3bdrm) homes I've rented, and the three bdrm townhome I rented for 5yrs in Shipyard...Aquaterra easily competes, and strongly so. Simply based on - 1) "ease of living in neighborhood/building/unit"; 2) "ease of location on isle"; and 3) "ease of amenities;" relatively and comparatively speaking, (like I said...), in my mind, "Aquaterra," definitely competes w/ most...and beats some!!! (In my twelve yrs living here, and most of them as an "active&involved"... single father to my two young sons who were 12 and 9 when they moved here full-time w/ me)...the Aquaterra team has been the most, "respectful...helpful...and professional" property management team I've had the pleasure of dealing w/ here on HHI, (as a tenant). I say that to say, I also come from a

You're welcome to use that as a "positive comment " from a "current resident" kind of thing

If not, please know I greatly appreciate all that you do...here ..for us...the residents...thnx??
