    Loving my stay at Station bay. The best parts are the grounds are serene, pleasing and well maintained. There is always a nice cool breeze to enjoy when out walking. I absolutely LOVE the amount of storage space in my apt. . Everyone is friendly and the complex is Very Pet friendly ( great dog park). The amenities are superb. Overall extremely happy.
