Architecture and Design
- There is no minimum square footage for any home in Beachside Village and there is no timeline within which an owner must begin construction. Homes in the neighborhood range from 1600 – 5000sf.
- Strong design standards requiring continuity while allowing room for creativity are the foundation of Beachside Village – metal roofs, large decks, fencing, landscaping and attractive colors create an appealing visual within the neighborhood.
- Architecture and design standards are stated in the Beachside Village Pattern Book. Every home design must be submitted to the Town Architect for review at two separate stages. Once approved, the owner shall choose a builder from the List of Approved Builders. The HOA maintains this list to the benefit of the property owners to ensure that the strict construction standards are adhered to within the community. The Town Architect follows each project through all phases of construction to make sure that the builders are building what has been approved. The Town Architect also performs periodic audits on the homes in the neighborhood to establish that the homes are being adequately maintained.
HOA Fees & Events
- HOA Fees: Assessed quarterly and billed electronically. Beachfront Lot – $537/quarter, Beachfront Home – $458/quarter, Non-Beachfront Lot $437/quarter, Non-Beachfront Home $358/quarter. While the lot is vacant, the HOA pays to have the vacant lot mowed and when construction begins on the house the assessment is reduced.
- The HOA Board of Directors hold two events every year – the first is the Annual Meeting, held in the spring, where all property owners are encouraged to attend to get an update of everything happening in Beachside Village and the second is the annual Splash Day Party which is a picnic event, held during the summer, that is catered by Pappas and sno-cones are offered to everyone.
