Dear Owners,
As of today, Monday, August 28, 2023, the path of Tropical Storm Idalia remains undefined. At this time, we cannot predict how the event will impact our area. For the most current information regarding the status of Tropical Storm Idalia and how it may affect our state please go to the South Carolina Emergency Management Division’s website at www.scemd.org
We hope that the storm is uneventful and deteriorates by the time it reaches our area. As a precaution, we are taking the necessary measures to secure the property.
Here are a few preventative measures you or your guests can do to protect your unit in the event the storm strengthens…
Remove furniture and items from your balcony and store them inside your unit
Close and lock all sliding doors
Wedge towels between the sliding glass door and the threshold
Unplug televisions
Place towels at the base of your entry door and if applicable, your wall mounted air conditioning unit
Resort Association Management will be utilizing the HOA’s website, www.ramresorts.com to keep you informed of developments as they unfold at the resort.
Respectfully,
Resort Association Management

Dear Valued Homeowners,
The Carolinian Resort Homeowners Association provides a range of services for the members, including internet and telephone service within each unit. When possible, services have been negotiated with multi-year contracts to minimize cost and reduce uncertainty in yearly budgeting. The contracts covering internet and phone services have reached the end of their terms and the Board has negotiated and signed a new contract for these services. The new five-year contract bundles broadband internet and phone services, and is with IPacket Network Texas, LLC. As such, this new contract represents a yearly cost reduction for the Association. This contract will entail several improvements that will occur in the coming months.
Beginning Monday, April 3, 2023 ,IPacket will be on site and will be entering units to replace various hardware components of the internet and phone systems with new, state-of-the-art fiberoptic equipment. This will include the installation of dual band WiFi 6 802.11ax access points in each unit. The work is expected to take three to four weeks to complete for the entire site, and the costs for equipment, installation and maintenance are included in the yearly fee. Service disruptions during the installation process are expected to be minimal. Please share this correspondance with your rental company.
This new equipment will increase internet speeds for all units to 100MB and will upgrade the wireless internet service to WiFi 6 standards. Individual owners will also have the option to upgrade their unit to 1GB service through a subscription with IPacket. Additionally, the new system will bring the building into compliance with the Ray Baum Act, which requires phone systems to provide dispatchable location information when making calls to 911. You or your guests may contact Ipacket with any wifi issues or general questions at 1-877-912-1550.
We hope that the benefits of this change are well received by the members. If there are any questions, please feel free to reach out to RAM.
The contractors will be protecting the sliding glass door system with thick foam and covering the sliding glass door tracks with tape. Upon completion, the contractor will vacuum out the tracks and ensure that they are free of any debris.
This work will extend the length of drops 8 and 9 (Stacks 30,31,32,and 33) until March 8th barring any weather delays. All oceanfront balconies will have brand new deck coating and all handrail pitch pockets addressed. The handrails will not be painted as part of their scope.
Please make sure all balcony furniture is placed inside the unit during this repair as well as notifying your rental company or guests. Once the swingstage is no longer in front of your unit you will be free to place your furniture back on the balcony.
Thank you,
The entry door painting project will begin on January 2nd. It was originally planned to be started in November but due to the occupancy during the Holiday Season we pushed it back a bit. The goal is to do 3 floors of entry doors per week pending any weather delays. The exterior of the entry doors and their frames will be painted according to the schedule below. If your unit is occupied the painters will still paint the door if your guests are ok with it. If your guests prefer to not have the door painted while in the unit then we will attempt to paint that door during the last week of the project from February 6th-10th. The painting process will take 1-2 days depending on the drying time of the paint. The process will be as follows:
