Organization
The Village at Blue Mountain Beach is governed by a Master Owners Association of which all owners are members. Currently the Master Association has 3 constituent associations: The lot/homeowners are members of Village Cottages North Owners Association, the Village Place Condominium Owners are members of the Village Place Condominium Owner Association, and owners of the southside home/lots are members of the Cottages South Owners Association.
Each association has its own Board and representatives of these associations serve on the Master board.
Management Company
Our master board is assisted by Associated Management Services (AMS). The office is located at 2441 US Hwy 98 West, Ste 101, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.
Nikki Lawniczak, is our Community Association Manager(CAM), and can be reached at 850-231-6004, Ext. 106 or nikki@camams.com.
Board Meeting Dates
All Village boards generally meet every other month. Non-board owners can participate in listen-only mode, either in person at the AMS office or by conference call. Dates and times are provided via email to members and a notice is posted on the community bulletin board at the pool. Contact AMS to get the call-in number for the particular meeting you want to attend.
HOA Assessments
Each owner (Home/Lot/Condo) is assessed a quarterly fee for maintenance of the common property. Owners are billed prior to the beginning of each quarter. Payment is due in 30 days and considered delinquent after the due date.

Landscaping Services

Lawn care is provided by the Association’s contract vendor. The lawn care 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 vendor and utilize a private vendor for the service for the following year. Vacant lots do not have the option to opt-out.
Palm trees on building occupied lots and vacant lots in the Cottages area are trimmed by contract vendor every July. This is a mandatory requirement unless the owner opts out and provides their own vendor to do the trimming.
