It's been a while since I lived at Mallard Cove (2005-2007), but I did like it for the most part when I did live there.
Positives: 1. Friendly office staff, especially Karen! I don't know if she is still there, but she was great! They also helped me to get into a month-to-month lease with not too much increase in rent when I found out I had to move to another city. 2. Close to the beaches, only a mile away from Hannah Park. 3. Pool - I really liked the wooden deck and pool area, and thought the gazebo was especially nice. 4. I LOVED the layout of my apartment - it was more angular than most other apartments that are boxy. My friends and boyfriend really liked it, too! 5. This might sound silly, but I really liked the outdoor storage on the patio - when I moved out I expected there to be bugs and spiders in there, but there weren't!
Negatives: 1. Traffic noise - my apartment was at the intersection of Wonderwood & A1A, so I could hear all of the early morning traffic from the military heading to the base. Many of these people drive motorcycles, which are even more loud! If you are in the military, however, then this probably won't bother you at all since you'll be the ones heading to base! :) 2. Neighbor noise - I had one neighbor who was incredibly noisy - I had to call the office and the police because he left his music on for 36 hours straight (literally), and it was really loud. And sometimes other neighbors would play their music loud in the parking lot. I'm a quiet person, though, so that's probably why it bothered me. I will also say that when walking to/from the pool or office I didn't usually hear any loud music, so maybe it was just the neighbors in my building.
Neutral or N/A: I don't remember having any problems with maintenance or parking.
Overall, after visiting friends in several other apartments in the area, I found Mallard Cove to be the best in the area!
