Assessments

Checks should be made to the Bonnet Shores Beach Club. Fees are due in full by the 1st day of June of each year or when prescribed by the Board. A late fee may be levied for any assessment not paid by the 16th of June. The late fee is 1-1/2% per month of the unpaid balance. After three months, unpaid assessments, fees and fines become a lien against the property. All fees, including, but not limited to, Annual Assessment, Food & Beverage Assessment, Utility Fee, Capital Improvement Assessment, Charge Accounts, and any fines, must be paid before any membership passes will be issued.
Unit owners are liable for all apparent fees including, but not restricted to, any that may have been overlooked during the season’s initial processing.
A contribution to Capital Reserve equal to 25% of the current year’s total assessment shall be due and payable to the condominium association at the time of purchase. The transfer fee will constitute a lien against the unit in favor of the association until it is paid.

Liability

The Association maintains insurance on the common areas. However, it does not cover any contents belonging to any condominium owner or tenant or any improvements or betterments installed by any condominium owner or tenant. It is, therefore, incumbent upon all unit owners to provide their own content insurance as well as liability insurance.

All persons using the pool area do so at their own risk and sole responsibility. The Board, the Association, and the Management assume no responsibility for any accident or injury in connection with such use. Persons using the pool agree with the Board, the Association, and the Management for and in consideration of the use of the pool, to make no claim against the Board, the Association, or the Management for or on account of any loss of life, personal injury, or damage to or loss of personal property.

Owners agree to hold harmless the Board, the Association, and the Management and its individual members from any and all liabilities and actions of whatsoever nature by any owner, his family, guests or renters, resulting from the use of the pool area.

The Board, the Association, and the Management assume no responsibility or liability for any damage to or loss of any property belonging to members, guests or renters and left inside or outside the unit or any other facility of the Club.

The Board, the Association, and the Management assume no responsibility or liability for any boat or recreational equipment located on or about the premises.

The Board, the Association, and the Management assume no responsibility or liability for any damage to or any loss of a vehicle belonging to a member or a guest parked on the Club property.

Owners, members, renters and guests use the facilities with the understanding that they must comply with all rules and regulations promulgated by the state and local governments and by the Association.

Leasing

Henceforth, the term "entitled membership" shall be used to designate those memberships which are included in one's annual assessment and which were formerly referred to as "deeded memberships."
A unit is considered leased if no unit owner activates an entitled membership pass. A unit may only be leased for the entire season.
The lessee and any additional lessees must have access to the unit and must have a key to the unit at all times while at the Beach Club.
An arrangement involving anything less than the transfer of use of the unit and all entitled passes associated with the unit will be viewed as the “renting of entitled passes.” The unit owner who retains at least one pass has not leased the unit.
Conversely, a unit will be considered leased if at least one deeded owner has not activated a pass for the current season.
A BSBC Unit Lease Agreement must be completed by the unit owner and the lessee. The “BSBC lease agreement”, along with the appropriate rental fee, will be submitted to the BSBC office. The Club records will indicate that the unit has been leased for the season and that the unit owner(s) of that unit will not be coming to the Club as a member, or guest, through that unit.
Lease fees are as follows:

• Bathhouse & Mini-Double Bathhouse $150
• Double Bathhouse $150
• Cabana $150
• Live-in $150

Unit owners who have leased their unit may obtain seasonal memberships through another unit but will not be issued an ownership pass.
A Unit Owner who has rented his unit for the season and has not retained a pass for himself may enter the facility to purchase guest passes for his renter.
Unit owners who have leased their unit for the season may not visit the Club as guests of their unit. There shall be a $75 fee for such a visit.
Lessees must obtain membership passes for all members of their household. A person residing at the same address as the lessee may not visit the Club as a guest. Lessees are encouraged to lease a unit that will provide enough entitled passes to accommodate all family members. If additional seasonal memberships are required, they will cost $1,100 each, regardless of age.

Bonnet Shores Beach Club Condominium Association Inc. - Unit breakdown by type:

BSBC Unit Construction Procedures

Prior to commencing any work on the premises, the contractor must provide Bonnet Shores Beach Club with a Certificate of Insurance showing a minimum limit of General Liability coverage in the amount of $500,000. The Certificate should show Bonnet Shores Beach Club Condominium Association, Inc. and Bonnet Shores Beach Club, Inc. as additional insureds. The contractor will not be permitted to commence any work on the premises without first providing the Certificate of Insurance to the Business Manager of the Club.
Any unit alterations, modifications, or improvements require:

1. The submission of a clear plan to the BSBC Director of Facilities describing the proposed modification by word and diagram. The electrical source and the water supply line must be indicated on the plan. A separate plan proposal is required for each unit.
2. The Director of Facilities will review each plan for its compliance and once approved, a “Letter of Approval” will be issued to the Unit Owner, who must then take the letter to the Town of Narragansett to obtain all required Municipal Permits. No construction may begin without said permits.
3. A copy of all permits must be submitted to the BSBC Facilities Manager to be placed in the unit file. All construction appointments and work schedules must be approved by the Facilities Manager before work may begin. During the construction periods, the original permits must be visibly and conspicuously displayed within the unit.
4. A licensed contractor or a licensed plumber must do all plumbing work. All electric work must be done by BSBC’s authorized electrician. The Unit Owner will supply the contractor’s license information in writing with the BSBC Management Office.
5. The Board of Directors recommends keeping the seasonal use and seaside location of the property in mind when choosing interior finish products. Sheetrock and plaster ceilings and walls have proven to be problematic, therefore, the Board strongly suggests consideration be given to finish materials that are less susceptible to moisture damage.
6. Construction work is permitted on Weekdays only – Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 AM and 4 PM – Work may be completed during the off-season from November 1st until 8 days prior to opening day. Emergency jobs can be completed during the season with prior approval from the Facilities Director. Upon arrival, all contractors are required to sign in at the club office. A Unit Owner must give the contractor a key to the unit, Management will not open a unit for any contractor.

To become a member at BSBC, you could:

2. Rent a unit from a unit owner (renting a unit gives you access to that private unit along with all Club facilities).

3. Buy Seasonal Memberships (Passes) from a unit owner. (Each person that will be attending the club will need a photo ID membership card. This option gives you access to all the Club facilities, but not to a private unit and is only valid for 1 season).

To do any of the above, you could check local newspapers, craigslist, or local realtors for listings. The Beach Club does not keep a list of units or passes for sale or for rent.

A private beach, a swimming pool, a gift shop, a restaurant, a pizza parlor, an ice cream parlor, an outdoor bar and grille, tennis courts, basketball court, volleyball court, live entertainment, free WiFi, special events, a full staff, showers, restrooms, a private parking lot,
