Hello Sanctuary Neighbors, We’re excited to announce that the Sanctuary by the Sea HOA has officially partnered with Artemis Lifestyles as our new Association management company! Artemis, based in Kissimmee, will be taking over from APM, and we want to extend our sincere thanks to APM for their service and partnership over the last several years. We truly appreciate their work in helping us maintain our community. Why the Change? The decision to switch management companies was made with the best interests of our residents in mind. Artemis will offer a more hands-on approach to resident relations, including the return… Read More »

Making it easier for you and the Association Hey Sanctuary Neighbors, We wanted to take a moment to share something the Board will be discussing—moving the Annual Meeting of the Membership from June to January. Why? Well, for the past three years, we haven’t been able to hold elections or votes because we’ve failed to reach quorum. And while dips in participation happen, this seems to be more than just a fluke—it’s a trend. We’re hoping that shifting the meeting to January will make it easier for more residents to participate. Plus, this move would also allow us to align… Read More »

Recently, an inspection was conducted on the tennis courts, and the board was informed of several areas that showed tire marks, presumably from a motorized vehicle driven on the court surface.

This type of vandalism and behavior is extremely disappointing and will not be tolerated. The board recently resurfaced the tennis… Read More »

During the July meeting of the Board, the Annual Budget was reviewed, voted, and approved by the Board of Directors. The Board understands there are questions regarding the increase in quarterly dues, however, the budget was discussed in open meetings. These meetings were announced via the FrontSteps Resident Portal, mobile app, and physical signage at both exits of the community. Additionally, the option to join these meetings virtually was offered by a link posted on the FrontSteps Portal. Below is a brief statement regarding the dues increase.

We wanted to give you a quick update about The Sanctuary Resident Group on Facebook as you might have heard, this group, while active and well-intentioned, was never an official source for Association information. With our FrontSteps Resident portal up and running since March, it’s become the go-to place for all official updates and documents. So, the group’s administrator decided it was time to shut it down. They mentioned that with the portal handling everything and their busy schedule, they couldn’t keep up with moderating the group. It has come to our attention that there may be other resident-run Facebook… Read More »

Have you ever stopped to consider the purpose of the serene body of water adjacent to our community on Paradise Blvd? It turns out, that what may appear as a picturesque feature of our surroundings serves a crucial function in our neighborhood’s infrastructure. The Storm Water Retention Pond, often mistaken for a natural lake or pond, plays a vital role in managing stormwater runoff from our community. However, recent developments have shed light on an issue that many of us may not have been aware of. Contrary to its tranquil appearance, the retention pond is currently not in compliance with… Read More »
