Butler Beach Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
1 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Butler Beach is a narrow, unincorporated barrier-island community on Anastasia Island south of St. Augustine Beach, made up mostly of older beach condos, single-family cottages, and vacation homes rather than large apartment complexes.
As of mid-2026, Butler Beach's only true multifamily rental option is a small 1970s-era oceanfront condo community with individually owned, owner-managed units; most other 'Butler Beach' apartment listings on aggregator sites actually sit across the boundary in St. Augustine Beach or St. Augustine proper.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
