Guest access
Guest Access
The building entry door is semi-private, leading to only 4 units total. Two of the units are upstairs so your entry hallway downstairs is shared with only one other downstairs unit. It's really very nice and private.
You'll have access to the unit using a coded keypanel on the door.
Inside the unit you'll find the access key that'll allow you into the pool areas (there are 2), as well as the large laundry room.
COMMUNITY AMENITIES
The 24-hour manned gated community features 2 pools, a beautiful clubhouse with a library and billiards/pool table, as well as an upstairs bar, and occasional food offerings. The clubhouse overlooks the water (great photo spots here!), has a long pier with seating areas, and has corn hole sets and a giant Connect 4 set for play.
There's also a beach volleyball court, tennis courts, basketball court, gym, pickleball courts, and shuffleboard.
If you're driving an electric vehicle, you can find a charger over by the laundry facility and gym building.
HOA REQUIREMENT
The HOA will need a copy of a driver's license or Passport for ALL adults who will be guests so that everyone can be registered and allowed entry at the manned gate.
They also require a signed addendum which I've uploaded or can email you
