- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. The HOA maintains private roads, a boat basin, pier, tennis court, and swimming pool, funded by annual and special assessments.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business, temporary structures (unless screened), or noxious activities are allowed. Domestic pets are permitted, but no horses or ponies.
