In their own words
2 stars for the workers that do their best. Bill is a difficult person to work with. Their packing practices are moderate. Had many boxes crushed, plastic bins broken, mattresses wrapping opened. Update following the owners, Bill, response: I wrote my original review after contacting Bill. He ignored emails, and after some reminders he replied quite rude. The nice response here over the web, is not genuine.
Sorry to hear that you are not happy. We wish that you would have call the office to have handle any problems that you might have had.
Initially he (the owner) was very responsive on a Sunday evening promising to come the next day to assist with my in-home move. I explained and stressed that the item to be moved was extremely heavy and would require 3-4 men. For whatever reason he arrived the next day with himself and a young man half his size only to realize that they couldn’t move the item. He promised to return later that day with more help but was in fact a no show!
If i could give zero stars I would. Broken items, holes in the walls and no response from management. Horrible experience. I should have used Scott's Oceana moving. The reply to the initial review is false. NO ONE ASKED TO BE MOVED FOR 200.00. THE WORST EVER!!
Paulette this is really messed up. You are mad because I would not do your job for $200. I do not know who you talked to as I have never done a 4 hour job with truck for $200 in over 10 year. So to get back at the company you put a bad review.
I would never recommend this company to anyone. During the move they were very disorganized and careless. Many things were almost forgotten, a lot of dirt was trailed in, and one of the doorways was damaged. While unpacking, we noticed multiple things were damaged. After contacting the company about this, they never called me back to give me any updates. I had to be the one to keep calling them. After 2 months, I get a letter in the mail with a check for only $33!
I am sorry that you felt this was not a good job. When I came out the day of the move there were no problems, everything' was going good I even inspect the door that you said was damaged and you said you painted it already how does someone make a claim if you cover up the evidence even before the…
We had a bad experience with Atlantic Beach Movers. We were only moving 4 miles away in the same city and needed them to move the "big" stuff...including a baby grand piano. I chose this company because they said they had experience moving baby grands and cautioned me to use a company with this experience. The three men who showed up were good guys but had never moved a piano of any kind.
Not too sure what your complaint is about. I am sorry that you think a 3 bedroom house plus a baby grand piano can be moved in 2 hours. Any body that has or seen it done knows it takes a list an hour to move a baby grand piano. Then move a 3 bedroom house along with it. As for 4 miles?
We used them to move us from our condo to a storage unit and then used them again to move us into our new home. The two stars are for the movers doing their best. When we moved into our new home we quickly noticed that there were issues with our furniture. Our wooden pieces had several scuffs, scratches, and chips that were not there before the move. One of boxsprings was damaged to the point we could no longer use it.
This company is awesome. The movers was professional, fast, and did a terrific job. Moving is not my first rodeo especially living in a condo that has frequent leaks. They was by far the best moving company ever. I would highly recommend this company, and I will be using them again. Update: I called to use them again and this time everything is packed up and their prices went up by 100 dollars with less time and less items to move. I used them to move an entire apartment for much less.
We thank you so much for you Business and your kind words. We really do thrive to please as we are a small company
Folks - please stay away from these vandals! They destroyed almost half of the furniture including two expensive Infinity speakers and RUN AWAY without even leaving any paperwork! Bill, the owner, never picked up the phone. Never pay them in advance before they unload your stuff if you want to keep them responsible for what they do. They are unprofessional, rude, careless vandals! AND DO NOT READ POSITIVE REVIEWS FROM GOOGLE USER which I guess Bill writes himself. All the reviews from real people are negative.
You are mad because my guys refused to work for you any more!!!(one guy quite the next day when ask to go back) You were rude to me as well as the 3 men that worked for you until 11 pm. We did our job well as there is no damage claims as you signed all is well and you paid.
What satisfied customers point to
The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

In their own words
Atlantic Beach Movers made my move completely stress-free from start to finish. Christopher and his team were punctual, professional, and incredibly courteous throughout the entire process. They handled everything with great care, wrapping and protecting my furniture like it was their own—nothing was damaged during the move. What really stood out was their efficiency and positive attitude. Christopher kept everything organized and communicated clearly, while his team worked quickly without cutting corners.
Thank you for your review.
I don’t know where to begin. I hired a big box chain company recommended to me by PODs. I was moving my older parents from NJ to a VB storage unit. 35 years of a home packed into a 16 foot POD. We had 24 hours to empty the POD so it can be picked up the next day, according to the storage unit company. Big box chain movers called me the day of, at 5:15 PM to tell me they can’t make it. I called Atlantic Beach Movers and they came at 6:00. Pod was emptied and storage unit was locked at 8:55 PM.
Happy to help. Thank you for your review.
Christopher and his team were amazing. I own a small moving company, Mountain Movers, out of Ithaca, New York, and my unload was carrying a baby grand piano that felt more like a grand piano. This one was particularly heavy (as if they aren't already heavy enough.) I had five guys help me load it in NY but only brought one of my guys with me. I called a few different companies in VB to help me unload and right away, from talking with Christopher, I knew he was the guy for the job.
From the moment I was referred to this company to my final destination, I was met with sincere, courteous and considerate professionals. From my first conversation, I was assured of a smooth professional delivery of service. My voice must have indicated concern. I was reassured that I would be "taken care of". I was not disappointed. When the 3 three gentlemen arrived, their concerted effort, did not leave knicks,, scratches, marks on the walls, floors or doors.
Thank you for the 5 stars and wonderful review. We enjoyed helping you with your move and keeping the stress away.
