Renters Reviews and Ratings
Love the area, love the management!
July 31, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I have had so many experiences with properties bought out by management companies that don't care for the tenants, and the living experience goes down, as the rent goes up. Pirate Island is a family owned business that actually cares!
Well one, the area is beautiful and peaceful year round. I loved going on walks or just sitting on the balcony, which wad also spacious. It is just off the Beltline and on the bus line. Very convenient, with lots of stores around for your every day needs. So 5/5 ...
for location!
Two, there are plenty of newly renovated units that are well-kept. I really liked my bathroom vanity and kitchen that opened up into the dining room and living room. Lots of natural light as well. Lobby and laundry room was also clean and checked regularly. Oh and the fact that there are actually always laundry machines available on the property!
Three, maintenance was always helpful and responded right away, often coming over to help within a few hours. In the winter when our heaters were not working, maintenance came over to check. He made sure we had space heaters right away while they were looking at the problem. Communication with the management has been great since day 1! Another 5/5 for management, which is rare in Madison these days.
No place is perfect, but Pirate Island was such a great find for my time in Madison and I am truly grateful that Christy got us set up on a tour and prepped a very smooth move-in process--apartment searches can be very stressfull!
Only reason I moved is for work and because I have a cat. If I ever return to Madison, I will definitely take another look. That being said, if you are looking at this place, I can say management is great and that really makes a difference!

Outstanding support in a time of need
June 11, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I am a renter from kre management and recently had damage from a storm. I cannot express the level of gratitude to their team. The property manager Pat was so friendly, considerate of my remote work and was being very proactive along with the workers that came down and cut the fallen tree branch. The electric company k r a n t z that this management company uses is also very professional, quick and even worked in the rain to get my AC unit up and running. As a person that has had long years in ...
service sharing how amazing the team was and how appreciative I am is a renter is not very usual these days. It's that extra level of consideration, kindness and professionalism that we tend not to see in our renting market.

Outdated
June 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I had to spend $50 rewashing laundry after my storage unit flooded, a number of expensive electronics and sentimental items were damaged… and I was never compensated for it. They didn’t even respond to my emails. Renter’s insurance doesn’t cover external water damage like that either! The washers and dryers are overpriced and barely work. Found that out the hard way.
They were dishonest about the flooding issues, and also misled me about the air conditioning, claiming it would cool the entire ...
apartment when it didn’t. The buildings smell strongly of ammonia and mold… it’s definitely not a good environment for anyone that needs clean indoor air.
KRE management is terrible. They scheduled apartment showings at extremely inconvenient times that didn’t work with my sleep schedule, which led me to spend $450 on last-minute hotel stays which I wasn’t compensated for. Communication is awful and getting a timely response (unless it affects them) is nearly impossible.
I would strongly recommend staying away from this place if you have a chronic illness… it’s not worth the stress or potential health issues. The walls are also very thin, so you can hear absolutely everything. This is not a good place for those who work first, second, or third shift especially if you need sleep… it’s really loud. They allow cigarette smoking and cats, so the hallways smell pretty bad. When they “fix” things, they do it as cheaply as possible.

Hidden gem
May 21, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Moved in one month ago and have had an overwhelmingly positive experience. Maintenance is very quick and thorough to respond to requests. The buildings are older but have been well maintained. The grounds are also regularly tended to. There’s even storage here for kayaks and paddle boards. Communication from management regarding parking updates, etc is strong. The island is surprisingly quiet for how close it is to main roads. I love the wildlife present here as well. I almost forget I’m in such ...
a convenient location it’s so peaceful. No plans to leave this place!

fire spot
April 8, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
obsessed with living at pirate island tbh the location is unreal — water views, bike path right there, and still super close to everything in madison. my unit is actually cute (not giving outdated vibes like most places lol), and maintenance is fast which is rare. it feels really chill and safe here, like low-key community energy without being annoying. honestly one of the best places i’ve lived
Incredible maintenance crew!!
April 7, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Huge shout out to the maintenance crew at KRE mgmt! The new managers and the staff are actual heroes! The lady who owns it literally texts me or calls me when I put in an order for Pat the maint dude. I love it here. I feel like I’m treated like a real person and not a number.
Home Sweet Apartment
February 25, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
Living at Pirate Island Apartments over the last two years has been an amazing experience! The location is unbeatable—being on a small island gives it a peaceful, vacation-like vibe, and the updated boardwalk is such a nice touch. I love that I can drop my paddleboard in and enjoy the water whenever I want.
The landscaping is always well-maintained, making the entire community look beautiful year-round. The wildlife with the water and the quiet neighborhood brings a crane every year, I call him ...
Old Blue.
Maintenance is top-notch; they’re prompt, professional, and always take care of any requests quickly. The staff is friendly and helpful, making sure residents feel at home.
If you’re looking for a unique, relaxing place to live with great amenities and a well-kept environment, Pirate Island Apartments is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Beware
June 6, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
Worst management staff EVER!! They fix nothing and NEVER respond to anything valid.
Clean, cheap, quiet, convenient
July 4, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
This place is tidy, well managed and couldn’t be in a better location. My unit was updated last year and it’s it’s amazing. It’s a gem in the middle of Madison, I feel lucky to have found it! Many long term residents and I always feel safe. I’ve never had more responsive maintenance. You can tell it’s family owned, they care about you and the property.
Clean, quiet, awesome location
July 3, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
I checked this place out based on other reviews. I asked management about smoking. They said they havnt allowed smoking in three years but there were a few older residents grandfathered in. I ended up seeing two one bedrooms and a studio. All of them except one were updated with new flooring and fresh paint and remodeled bathrooms. I was extremely impressed by the leasing agents knowledge and kindness. I ended up signing a lease and moving in. I’ve been here four months and I just can’t say ...
enough good things! I have never heard a single neighbor and every time I’ve called for maintenance, this older guy who lives on the island comes over and fixes whatever I need usually that day. Everyone is so nice, I just love it here. I almost don’t even want to write this review because I don’t want more people to find out about my secret spot!!

Great Price - OK Place
September 23, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Can't really beat the location, on the water, dead-end island, Monona neighborhood, all really great. The price is excellent for the area as well, heat included in low rent price. Old fashioned management is OK, outdoor space is in general disrepair. The not so great things include: smoking is allowed indoors so the whole place kinda smells like cigarettes, the units haven't been updated in while (maybe never), fairly thin walls and ceilings (if you know what I mean). Great place to have your ...
grill and kayak on your porch, even your boat tied to the boardwalk for extra. I can put up with the faint to medium scent of cigarette smoke for the low price and location.
