Rules buyers ask about

Better your client hears these from you now than from a neighbor later.

Can the home be used as a short-term rental?

No. Vacation and short-term rentals of 60 days or less, Airbnb included, are not permitted under the Restrictions and Conditions and the bylaws.

Can a buyer rent the home out long term?

Yes. The owner keeps paying dues, and the tenant can join as an associate member with a copy of the lease.

Is membership optional?

No. Every property owner is a member of the association, and the deed requires compliance with the bylaws and the Restrictions and Conditions.

What needs approval before building?

Fences, sheds, additions, new homes and exterior changes need written approval from the association before work starts. See the building guidelines.

Does a boat slip convey with the house?

No. Slips are rented from the association for a separate annual fee, and there is a waiting list.

Do the seller's stickers and member IDs transfer?

New owners are issued their own vehicle stickers and member IDs after closing, once the association has the transfer fee and the buyer's information.
