Update:

by | Aug 19, 2024 | Construction, For Owners

There has been a great deal of activity at the resort, and we wanted to provide you with an update on some of the items.  Below is a summary of some of the things that have been happening, in no particular order.
  • The fence around the pool equipment is up.
  • The gas line and fire extinguisher are installed.
  • Cameras wires have been run to the poles around the pool as well as the low voltage wire for beach exit and entry gate.
  • Danielle removed all the broken concrete and put in a pile for removal. She also graded the parking lot and got rid of a big pile of sand.
  • The Board met with the gas company again and they are going to come back this week to finish the install according to the Fire Marshall code. They are going to give us the gas flow rate so we can contact TECO to get our upgraded meter changed.
  • Danielle met with our engineer because the heaters, grills, and meter need to be on an engineered drawing.  We should get that this week.
  • We met with our general contractor and their concrete guy to go over everything again.  Our engineer has to redraw the plans because the culvert pipe that goes from catch basin to catch basin is in the way of the divider wall and that part of the wall has to be built differently.
  • We met with the paver person and he will be at the resort today to put back all the pavers.
  • We met with the railing company and went over everything again including the piece we need by the fence. This should be taken care of this week.
  • We are getting bids for the roof because there are places with damage.
  • Our engineer put 4 bids out for the milestone repairs we need. We will have them for the September Board meeting so we can make a decision on that.
  • We are on the list to have the 4 pool cameras installed.
  • All the plumbing and electrical work is done for the pool.
  • The hot tub timer and shut off have been installed.
  • We are going to apply for an additional $150,000 grant from the State but there is no guarantee we are going to get it.
  • We installed two new commercial washers and we now have 2 new commercial dryers for efficiency.
  • We also have and a commercial freezer for our beloved ice cream socials.
  • We applied for the permits for the parking lot repair/rebuild.
  • We ordered the new pool slider door.
  • We have seen delays due to permitting, scheduling contractors, inspections, and approval from various government agencies.

Milestone Inspection

by | Jul 8, 2024 | For Owners, News

Florida Statutes
(5) Upon determining that a building must have a milestone inspection, the local enforcement agency must provide written notice of such required inspection to the condominium association or cooperative association and any owner of any portion of the building which is not subject to the condominium or cooperative form of ownership, as applicable, by certified mail, return receipt requested. The condominium or cooperative association must notify the unit owners of the required milestone inspection within 14 days after receipt of the written notice from the local enforcement agency and provide the date that the milestone inspection must be completed. Such notice may be given by electronic submission to unit owners who consent to receive notice by electronic submission or by posting on the association’s website.

Room & Floor Requests

by | Jun 11, 2024 | For Owners, Reservations

For some owners, it appears there is some confusion about the ability to request a specific room versus demand a specific room when staying at the resort.  As such, the Board would like to bring clarity to this matter.  With the exception of two weeks in February, the resort uses floating weeks rather than fixed weeks.  This gives owners the flexibility to book weeks any time their Prime or Preferred period permits.  When an owner books a week, there is absolutely no suggestion, promise, or guarantee that the owner will be able to pick a specific floor or room.  While our front desk accepts requests and does everything within their power to accommodate such a request, rooms are preassigned long before the Saturday when owners arrive.  As such, owners should not have any expectation that they will get the floor or room they request.  

Checking in early does not change the situation, especially during our peak season when all rooms have been preassigned.  So, feel free to request a specific floor and/or room, and our staff will do whatever it can to accommodate the request, but do not expect that this request will be fulfilled because often it simply can’t.

Additionally, some owners seem to misunderstand what the “waitlist” is for.  The waitlist does not mean you have priority over what room you get.  Calling at 8:00am does not move you ahead of others’ requests.  The waitlist is a simple courtesy to our owners so when their room is ready, the staff gives them a call so they can check in again prior to 4:00pm.  

A simple summary:  You can request a specific floor and/or room, and you can ask to be put on the waitlist.  The staff will do everything it can to accommodate your floor/room request, but there are no guarantees.  If you are on the waitlist and your room happens to become available prior to 4:00pm, then you get the benefit of being able to check into your room early, but rooms will not be released until they are completely cleaned and ready.

Finally, it has come to the attention of the Board that some owners have become so irate and belligerent because their request has not been met, their behavior toward our staff has ranged from rude to verbally abusive.  Our staff works hard to make our owner’s experience the best it can be.  The Board will not tolerate any sort of abuse of our staff.
