That is correct, and when an HOA has multiple phases including condominiums the governing "master" HOA is governed by the condominium act. Call them townhouses, bungalows, or any other name, but by law they are condos.

In my opinion,if it don't look good,smell good or taste good,you are better off leaving it alone. I don't own property in Watercolor,but I imagine that it's just another way for them to make money.Most likely,they are not concerned with their current homeowners.
I hope it works out for you.
Homeowners in WC have access to all amenities as do their guests. If they rent their property through WC then their rental guests have access also, but if they don't rent through WC then their guests are restricted on access to some amenities (kayaks for ex. ). WC has est. a 2 tier rental program for 2010 with much reduced charges to the homeowner and more in line with other rental management cos.. This is a business at the end of the day and WC can and should have a business model which emphasizes their benefits to increase their customer base.
This is the way I have always understood it. I was going to call and verify but it sounds like you may have done that. Not sure who melscuba has been talking to but it sounds like miscommunication somewhere.
The way tsutcli describes it is the way I thought it always was, but that seems to be incorrect according to the information that WC Rental Program sent out, and it is not the way they communicated it to me on the phone. Maybe their communication is off.
Unfortunately, this is a sign of things to come if you purchased within a St. Joe community. They will change the rules in the middle of the game to suit their needs, without a moment of pause to consider how the changes impact all of the individuals they have previously sold homes to over the years. They are making these changes in Watercolor in an attempt to force people to put their homes back into their rental program. It's as simple as that, but beware the future, especially when it becomes time for St. Joe to turn over the HOA to the residents, which is a process that is currently ongoing in Watersound Beach. Their approach is basically that they can do whatever it is they want to do, and could literally care less what they have been telling residents there over the years.
WCVR - Strategy for New Rental Program?
As far as I can tell (after reviewing their Elite & Advantage programs), WCVR is seeking to provide services to renters that they might not be able to enjoy if they were renting through another company. For example, they are offering:
- Discounts on some services (Camp Watercolor activities)
- Access to other ammenities (Watersound Beach Club)
- Discounts or Stays at the Watercolor Inn
For anyone who is interested, I have attached a full list of the services being offered to homeowners renting with WCVR. I apologize in advance for the lack of image resolution, but I had to reduce its size to meet the attachment guidelines.
For those who find value in obtaining these services, WCVR might be attrative for this reason. We have chosen to remove our home from their rental pool because we felt the relationship was disadvantagous.

Thank you! I have been waiting for someone to respond who knows the real deal. After all, the HOA owns the Beach Club, the Camp and the Tennis center. We were at the Homeowners meeting in October and there is no way they can deny access to these amenities for homeowners or their guests.
Thank you! I agree completely.
