All the amenities and common areas at The Strand are part of the Club. Think of it as a combination of an HOA and a private club. Club dues are like HOA or strata dues at a typical resort development. The biggest differences are:
- The Club is operated strictly for the benefit of the homeowners and guests, unlike a hotel-branded resort, whereby the resort is primarily focused on hotel guests rather than owners.
- At The Strand, rental guests pay a five percent Club Fee that subsidizes the Club operations budget. In branded resorts, the resort charge goes to the hotel ownership and/or management. This Club Fee should result in lower net sales dues/fees than would be the case in comparable resorts in TCI.
- Club amenities and services emphasize fun and enjoyment for your family and guests while discarding any pretentious or unnecessary operations often prevalent in branded resorts. As a private club, service is more personal and curated compared to a hotel.
- Club membership is included in the purchase of your home. A reserve fee equal to three months of Club dues will be collected at closing to benefit a reserve fund for the Club.
- When you sell your residence to a third party, the buyer must pay a membership fee of $50,000 to join the Club. That money goes to the Club to maintain a proper reserve for repairs and replacement of Club assets.
