St. Joe Club & Resorts private membership club

HOA's have a hard enough time providing parking and beach space for homeowners
How can they accommodate hundreds more living across Hwy 98?
and no one successfully shafts Joe! Ha-Ha!

Just wait until 331 and 79 have thousands of new homes. And one day there will be an expressway and bridge over the intracoastal near watersound with thousands more homes just a few minutes from the beach.

Every neighborhood, public access and State Park will be overwhelmed.

St Joe is greedy, as if they need more control. Now they are going after property managers. St Joe is offering exclusive rights to the beach club, sharks tooth and camp creek. Their offer comes with a hefty price. Small property management and coinceiere's will not be able to afford those rights to renters, but watch out St Joe...your greed, 40%, is over the top, even for the wealthiest.

St. Joe has a fiduciary responsibility to the stock holders. It's board members drive the ship. There is no one man/woman behind the curtain. The value of the stock is all that matters at this point, unfortunately. During the heyday, a lot of good jobs and communities were created. I wish them well. When Joe does well locally we all benefit. YMMV.

I just reread st joes press release and this could really hurt the property managers at the top end who already charge 25-30%. does this mean for rental guests to use watercolor ameneties they must rent threw st joe or they can't use the amenities? if this is so then all, will have to go with st joe. also outside the 40% st joe charges does one still have to pay up to 20-30K to join this? I think they do. someone ,mentioned that st joe has told all watersound owners who rent unless st joe manges there home there guest can't use the facilities which is a disaster. How about watercolor can st joe deand the same were you can't use the pools are beach club? many people self rent threw vrbo in watercolor and will be killed if they have to use st joe to rent there homes

The way it has been in the past is that if you used a diff mgmt company you had to pay extra for using amenities. And you are right - they are trying to create an incentive for owners outside st joe developments to sign on with them.

They have apparently been told that if they do not use JOE as their rental company, that their guests are banned from using the Beach Club in the future.

Yup. That would be us. Except we don't rent and we have a total of 6 people in our extended family. Our close friends often stayed at the house and paid the fairly excessive fees for a week of beach club access. That was OK tho---it was nice and exclusive. Now no one can use the club except the member and other limited FAMILY members who have to pay per day extra. Non-Family are not allowed at all unless accompanied. So close friends can't use it all if they stay at the house, even if they want to pay. HOWEVER, if you sign up to rent with JOE, then all monthly fees are waived and anybody can use the club who is staying there. Joe states this is to increase the quality of the clientele.

When we pressed JOE on the fact that we don't rent, payed full price, and have few family, the answer was "We considered people like you, and JOE has decided that your memberships are not valuable to the corporation" That was a direct statement. Nice, right? Specially since we have been going there since inception. Gonna have to convince my 9yo daughter that the Beach Club is no longer worth it...especially when they don't even make an attempt to care about longstanding members. $39 6ou filet anyone?????? How about 35% increase in monthly fees??? Please someone open a club that cares about members!

You could always try the Santa Rosa Beach Club.
