2. In August Aaron Brown gave his notice. He went back to Marine Construction. We will miss his quiet easy ways.
3. On August 31st Brian Santangelo replaced Aaron Brown, he comes to us with a varied background in maintenance.

We did receive water intrusion in each unit due to the wind driven rain, a couple of small trees were damaged and taken down, exit lights on the walkways either blew off or were hanging by wires, all lanai screens were blown out and three fans were ruined quite a few of the bedroom screens flew away and we have those on order. The staff has about half of the lanai screens back in and will continue until complete.

The past few months have been busy for the resort. We have replaced all the remaining coil top stoves with glass top. The call for nominations was sent out. The ice machine top was replaced. A pump for the spa was replaced. The contractors have been back a few times to repair a few items, mainly electrical outlets in the kitchen(s). We are in the process of working with a new vendor to replace the custom bath doors in the units. Maintenance continues to paint the vacant unit bedrooms. (These were not included in the renovation.)

We have been working on updating all owner information on file including: phone numbers, e-mails and address. We have no activity person. Jennifer and Peggie are providing 2 meals and one snack day per week. Crafts include the MBH color your own t-shirt and tote bag. We continue to provide coffee Monday- Saturday and popcorn upon request at the pool bar. The annual newsletter is being prepared for mailing by the end of March. We are continuing to keep owners updated on our website and most recently posted the ‘Decision 2024’ letter for viewing on the Owner’s page.

We ended the year with owners and guests enjoying the newly renovated units. The contractors continue to correct any discovered items such as electrical or hardware issues that are brought to staff’s attention.

If a unit is vacant, the maintenance staff is painting the bedroom. This will be an ongoing process as they become available.

The board president announced that Mariner’s Boathouse is now contracted with Bi-Coastal Marketing to promote association owned sales and offer owner enhancements, such as the Interval Gold Points Program.

Activities are being revised to include 2 meals and snacks every week. Jennifer and Peggie will implement this new schedule after the holidays. We have the activity director position advertised.

We are pleased to announce that all of the units are renovated and we will be at 100% occupancy on December 2nd.

It has been an extremely challenging 14 weeks. The entire staff has been working hard to ensure the units are cleaned and maintenance components back in working order. The amount of detailed work required to get the unit ready for occupancy includes: construction cleaning, deep cleaning, carpet, upholstery and drapery cleaning, television hanging, picture placement, internet connection, all new vents, thermostats and smoke alarms were installed. This is just a short list of the many items needing completed after the unit has been renovated. This does not include small details known as “punch list items” needing addressed along the way. Many of these are fixed by the contracted workers on check- out day. This is why we are asking all guests to please adhere to the check-out time of 10 am and check- in time of 3pm. We would like to thank the owners and guests for their understanding and patience throughout the entire project.

The units are beautiful and the feedback has been wonderful. We are excited for owners and guests to experience the bright, fresh interiors for many years to come!
