What do I "own" if I purchase a lot at Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort?
The RV Resort is a condominium. Lot owners receive deed and title in fee simple subject to the "Declaration of Condominium" and the rules and regulations of the owner's association. Owners jointly own the association, which owns the recreational facilities.
What are the benefits of ownership?
Most importantly, Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort is a wonderful vacation destination. Located on the IntraCoastal Waterway, the resort offers the best in RV recreation. In addition to use of owner's association recreational facilities, owner's receive one-half of gross rent's collected for their site. The rental office has exclusive rental rights to the RV Resort; owner's receive rental checks the first month of each quarter. Owner's have enjoyed a significant increase in lot valuations; on the average lots have tripled in value over the last 3 years (2004-2007).
May I live on my site?
One of the more important aspects of the "Declaration of Condominium" is the requirement, as stated in Article 8.1, "It is the specific intent of this declaration to create and maintain a luxury resort for recreation vehicles and to prohibit permanent or semi-permanent structures as well as any structure or vehicle which is used as, or designed for use as, permanent living quarters on any lot."
May I store my RV on my site ?
Beaufort County Ordinance #2001-2095-40, Section 6.1.9, Item C states: "Recreational vehicles placed on a site shall either be on site for fewer than 180 consecutive days and be fully licensed and ready for highway use, or meet the requirements of Section 6.1.9A and Section 6.1.9B." (Refers to Mobile Homes)
Do I pay association dues?
Owners pay association dues in the amount of $160.00 per month, payable quarterly ($480.00). These dues cover property maintenance, water, sewer, garbage pick-up and cable TV.
What's not covered by association dues?
