Thank You, Aquarina Board of Directors

This Blog has, for years, brought attention to the needs of Aquarina’s amenities and infrastructure. One of the needs was a pipe rail for the south beach access like what was installed at the north beach access. These beach crossover stairs can be a challenge to some of the Residents, and accidents with the stairs have occurred. This newly installed railing will be much appreciated, even though it was a necessity long overdue.

Hopefully, this installation will not be a Board token to the community, or a thrown bone, to placate the folks that see most of our funds going to golf and the golfers. Rather, this will not be a gesture, but an indication and example of a new Board direction where the whole community is served, and all its amenities and its infrastructure are proportionally addressed per Resident usage, and with a focus on community presentation and functionality.

The Beach Club Area is probably the most used Aquarina amenity , which means it requires regular maintenance and repairs. For example, the steps, in many places are splitting and splintering at the horizontal edges. These steps should be replaced with boards that have edges that are beveled for longevity. Any wood on the beach side requires regular painted treatment, that includes not only the stairs, but the upper deck too.

Keeping the sea grapes at the permitted height level, will keep continued ocean views from the upper deck, which the deck was meant to provide. The outside Club House windows and the deck furniture should be on a cleaning schedule. They are constantly exposed to the ocean air of mist and salt, in addition to their continued use by the Residents.

Working together and recognizing the needs of the whole community, rather than having a selfish strengthening of a political cabal of followers for their own purposes, will bring Aquarina to higher level of consumer demand, where we all can flourish.
