As all of you know we faired really well after Hurricane Milton considering some of the other properties in Daytona Beach, but we definitely felt the effects with 80+ winds. Those effects will set us back a little with projects and the rebuild of our pool deck, but to reopen for owners, for guests, and to put the staff back to work in as little as two short days is truly amazing.
Safety is number one for our owners, guests, and employees! With that said, due to Hurricane Milton, there is a MANDATORY EVACUATION order starting at 8AM on Wednesday morning 10/09/2024 for all areas east of the Intercoastal Waterway (all of beachside) issued by the Volusia County Emergency Management. Because we are under the mandatory evacuation Tropic Shores will be closed until further notice starting at that time.Bridges close once sustained winds of 39 mph are reached so those at the resort please respond as soon as possible because evacuation routes will be congested.PLEASE DO NOT CALL staff or the front desk for updates! We will try to get up to date information out via e-mail, our website, and/or Facebook page as time, weather, and communications allow.PLEASE keep our staff and their families in your prayers as we navigate yet another challenging time.For latest information regarding closures please visit the Volusia County Emergency Management website or download their app:App ==> Get Informed (volusia.org)There are shelters open and you can find them here: www.volusia.org/PINThank you,Tropic Shores Management and Board of Directors.
Dear owners,
We are getting lots of unnecessary phone calls pertaining to when the pool will be finished. Although we keep on our contractors constantly, a lot of the delays are out of our control. Everyone in our area has had catastrophic damage and engineers, contractors, electricians, plumbers, permitting, etc. are overwhelmed. All of us need their services all at once. We will be coming into our rainy season shortly and will have weather issues also. So, the answer to the question as to when the pool be finished, the answer is, we don’t know. We suggest that you do not wait to book your unit banking on the pool to be done as the weeks are filling up fast. If you haven’t paid your special assessment or your maintenance fees yet, on February 1, 2024, you will be locked out, charged a late fee and interest. On March 1, 2024, you will be sent to our collection agency with a 40% fee added. Your BOD and staff are doing everything we can to get back to where we need to be. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
