WELCOME!!! The Village of Blue Mountain Beach  Owners & Guest Information Oct. 2021

Please respect the community and try to keep noise levels to a minimum,  especially after dark. Please try to avoid making loud noise between the “Quiet Time” hours of 10 pm  and 7am to allow neighbors a peaceful night’s sleep. If you have a complaint of guests creating excessive noise after 10:00 PM, please contact the unit owner if you are renting or the Walton County Sheriff’s office at 850-892-8111.

The Village post office boxes are located on Village Boulevard at the Hwy 83 entrance.

Your assigned mailbox number may be obtained from the local Santa Rosa Beach Post Office. When a

property is sold, the current owner should transfer the mailbox key to the new owner or return the key

to AMS for distribution. If a key cannot be located, the owner may have the mailbox rekeyed by a  vendor of their choice at their own expense.

The Village covenants allow only owners to have pets on the property. All pets must be on a  leash when outside and in full control of their owners. Pet waste must be removed. There are multiple  pet waste containers along Village Boulevard.

All garbage must be contained in cans with closable lids. We are in close proximity to the  state forest and open trash receptacles invite unwanted critters. Please do not overfill the trash  containers. Ensure you tie any trash bags closed. Critters like open bags.

Condominium Garbage

• There are designated trash disposal receptacles located behind each condominium.
• Please refrain from throwing any trash, such as bottles, bottle caps or cigarette butts into neighboring properties.
• If the receptacles are full in the station nearest to your condo walk down the parking lot and find the other containment areas….ONLY throw trash into containers that the lids can be closed.

We have a great pool and fitness area available to the owners and their guests. The pool area is  permitted and allowed to be open from dawn till dark. We are not permitted for night- time  swimming. Pool area access is provided through an individually- assigned swipe card, which is issued by  the property management company-AMS. The first card is free of charge. A second card ( or  replacement for lost/stolen cards) may be purchased for a nominal fee.

Walton County Health Department Rules for the use of the pool/fitness area are posted in the area. No  animals, regular diapers or glass are allowed inside the pool enclosure—which includes the Fitness  Center. Violation of the pool/fitness rules or delinquency of assessments may result in the deactivation  of the member's swipe card.

Access to the Fitness Center requires a pool swipe card plus the Fitness Center door code. The code can be obtained from the AMS or the property owner if you are a guest.  No one under the age of 15 is allowed in the Fitness Center. Ages 16-18 must be accompanied by an adult.  No animals or glass are allowed in the Fitness Center.

Lawn care is provided by the Association’s vendor of choice.  The lawn care cost for both home lots and vacant lots is an additional cost to the quarterly Association assessment.  In December only, a homeowner may opt-out of lawn care services by the Association’s vendor and utilize a private vendor for the service for the following year. Vacant lots do not have the option to opt-out.  An Opt-Out form, available from AMS, must be submitted identifying vendor providing lawn care within the property.  The Opt-Out form outlines the standards that are expected for the maintenance of the owner's property.  If the property is not maintained to the prescribed standards, the Association will have the work done and expense the owner.

• Weeding, mowing, edging, blowing & detailing 
• Pruning of shrubs and plant materials
• Pre-emergent & post-emergent insecticides
• Fertilization of plant, turf, and palms 
• Top Choice (if needed to control mole crickets)

Lots will be bush-hogged and trimmed 9 times per year.

The Village owns an irrigation system to maintain the common property in our community.  Homeowners may attach their lot irrigation system to the common system.  There is no charge from the Association to the owner for the water.  The cost and installation of the irrigation lines on the homeowner's property are the owner's responsibility.  An approved controller is required to attach to the common irrigation system.  This controller is paid for by the owner and must be installed by the Association lawn care provider.

No signs of any kind are permitted on the exterior of an owners property except one "For Sale" sign per property. The approved "For Sale" sign information may be obtained from the property manager at AMS.

Short-term (3 days or greater) and long-term (6 months or greater) rentals are allowed in the Village at Blue Mountain Beach. Owners are responsible for any damages to the Village property caused by their tenants.
