Annual Meeting of the Membership October 22, 2022

October 3, 2022

Hurricane Ian made a memorable visit to Myrtle Beach and Sands Ocean Club. The winds and rain were similar to other storms of the past few years, but the storm surge was the largest we have seen since Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989. Fortunately, the many improvements we have made, including sea walls, concrete decks and tiled hallway floors greatly lessened the amount of damage.

We did receive a considerable amount of sand in the pools and on the pool decks. Additionally, we lost the oceanfront wall of the indoor pool structure. That wall is required to be a “break-away” design in order to protect the structural integrity of the columned building. We expect to have the decks, pools, and the indoor pool building restored and functional within about 10 days.

Island Resort Company has inspected units on their rental program as well as all commercial areas. Only a few rooms suffered any water intrusion and most of that was very minor. As of Monday, October 3, all these rooms had received treatment and were restored to operational condition. If your unit is not on their program, we strongly encourage you to contact your rental agent or local representative and have your unit inspected. Excess moisture left untreated will quickly result in mold and mildew that can be very damaging and expensive to treat. We have seen no signs of any broken windows or sliding doors in any of the units.

Amazingly, the resort had about 83% occupancy during the storm and the following weekend. No evacuation order was given by the governor or other officials. We did experience about six hours of lost electrical power, but other operations continued as normal. As always, we are tremendously grateful to our skilled and dedicated staff who remained on property and facilitated our ability to take care of the resort and our many guests.

Respectfully,

Your Board of Directors

Dear Valued Homeowner,

Please be advised that the Sands Ocean Club campus pool areas and pool facilities may not be utilized by any person without that person wearing a current officially issued Pool wristband while visiting the pool areas.

This policy will be strictly enforced commencing Thursday, July 29, 2021. Wristbands make identifying guests quick and easy, adding an extra layer of security to resort grounds.

Owners and timeshare guests only can obtain their wristbands from the HOA/Timeshare office. Other guests including off rental unit guests will obtain theirs at the front desk along with their parking passes.

Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.

Respectfully,

Sands Ocean Club HOA, Inc.

Failure to properly display a current officially issued SOC parking pass in or a current year's owners parking sticker on the vehicle will subject the vehicle to being towed without further notice or warning at the owner of the vehicles expense.

As noted in paragraph one above, access to parking in the SOC parking facilities is limited to automobiles, pick-up trucks and motorcycles.
