It also features a variety of amenities and services designed to provide convenient, hassle-free visits. The Club has an ideallocation in Marathon, Florida, the heart of the Florida Keys.

HOW MANY MEMBERSHIPS WILL BE SOLD?

The Club at Coconut Cay will have only 192 full memberships available. 

CAN A COMPANY OR CORPORATION PURCHASE A MEMBERSHIP?

CAN MORE THAN ONE FAMILY OR INDIVIDUAL OWN A SINGLE MEMBERSHIP?

Yes.  Families or individuals may form a partnership, trust or other legal entity which can own a single membership. It will be up to the joint owners to allocate Club lodging for that Membership in compliance with the LRPP.

IS THE CLUB A TYPICAL TIMESHARE DEVELOPMENT?

No.  Timeshare is typically the ownership of a specific week, and lodging availability is limited. The Club at Coconut Cay’s Members have access to all Club residences and all Club facilities with the right to use anytime, subject to availability and the LRPP.The ownership structure and the reservation policies have been designed to provide flexible use and ample lodging for both business and leisure visits.

WHY WAS THIS CLUB CONCEPT DEVELOPED?

The Club at Coconut Cay was designed to provide “second home” convenience  and amenities with the higher levels of service traditionally associated with expensive and less spacious luxury hotel stays. The club concept allows these desirable features at a fraction of the cost associated with home ownership or expensive resort stays. Shared ownership reduces costs and allows for a hassle free time off experience in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

HAVE OTHER CLUBS BEEN DEVELOPED IN THIS MANNER?

Yes.   This ownership concept has been well-received by buyers at some of the country's premier resorts, such as Vail, Colorado; Telluride, Colorado; and Deer Valley, Utah. Each is owned and operated much like The Club at Coconut Cay.

HOW OFTEN CAN MEMBERS USE THE CLUB?

If all Members use their Club equally throughout the year, each Member would have a minimum of 6 weeks use. However, there is no limit to the amount of use. If some Members use The Club less than their available time, other Members will be able to use it more.

HOW DOES A MEMBER RESERVE CLUB LODGING?

Club reservation policies allow Members to reserve visits well in advance while also accommodating Short-Notice Visits. In the fall, Members reserve their Annual Visits for the coming year. Reserved Visits and Short-Notice Visits are reserved throughout the year.

WHAT IF THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS WISHING TO STAY AT THE CLUB DURING THEIR DESIRED VISIT TIMES EXCEEDS THE NUMBER OF RESIDENCES AVAILABLE?

The Club has been designed to equitably allocate visits when demand for lodging may exceed supply. A rotating priority reservation system insures all Members will have equal access to peak-period Priority Annual Visits over the years. Reserved Visit and Short-Notice Visit reservations are on a first-come, first-reserved basis.

WILL MEMBERS ALWAYS STAY IN THE SAME CLUB RESIDENCE?

Not necessarily. To provide greater flexibility and availability, Members have equal access to all Club residences. Members may request a specific residence and this request will be granted, when possible.

CAN I RESERVE MORE THAN ONE CLUB RESIDENCE DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD?

Yes.   Because Members are not restricted to a particular residence, they can reserve more than one residence of their membership type at any given time. It is possible that a Member could have as many as four residences reserved for the same time period (using Annual, Reserved and Short-Notice Visit privileges) if they are available.

DO MEMBERS HAVE GUEST PRIVILEGES?

Yes.   Guests staying in the same Club residence with the Member are not charged. Members may also invite Unaccompanied Guests to use their confirmed Priority Annual Visits and confirmed Reserved Visits subject to the LRPP. This allows corporate owners to provide employees, associates or clients with Club lodging. It also allows Members to send friends and relatives.

DO MEMBERS PAY ANNUAL FEES?

Yes.  The annual owner fees pay for the professional management and operation of all Club facilities and amenities. Included in these annual dues are funds for staff salaries, supplies, maintenance, window washing, trash removal, legal/accounting, fuel, utilities, property taxes, and a reserve fund.  It should be noted that the club is intended to function as a benefit for its members, not a profit driven entity
