The POA, hereafter referred to as the HOA, maintains Southwind's infrastructure, private roads, and other common areas. We hope you enjoy these areas and help us preserve them for your continued enjoyment and that of others. 

 

Southwind's Sunset Beach (SSB) area is unique because it offers private amenities (a Clubhouse, Pool, and Beach ARea of SSB) to SSB and Coach Homes residents and guests. These residents pay extra HOA fees for the maintenance of these amenities.

 

Preserve Bluewater Bay, Inc. owns and manages the golf course and associated lake (except the lake behind Baywind Drive adjacent to Marsh #8). Residents should not cross private property to access lakes. If you have any questions about course access or fishing, don't hesitate to contact the BWB Golf Course at (850) 897-3241.

 

HOA common area maintenance, holiday lighting, and landscaping are provided under an annual contract. Our goal is to keep the common areas of Southwind looking attractive and inviting to homeowners, guests, and potential buyers.  

 

 

The roads and stormwater systems in Southwind are owned & maintained by the Property Owners' Association. The road system comprises the asphalt pavement, base (gravel or sand/clay), sub-base (compacted sand), and signs. The drainage system includes swales along the sides of the roads (without curbs), stormwater inlet structures, distribution lines, outlet structures, lakes, and wetlands. Our drainage system relies heavily on the initial treatment of rainwater through swales, those slightly recessed areas on each side of the roads. The swales should be low enough to allow for water to flow easily off the pavement into the low area of the swale. The low area of the swale should be at least 6" below the edge of the pavement. Allowance should be made for grass growth. Swales should be maintained in a fashion that accepts and holds water from the roadway; this detail is critical to minimizing the amount of water we ask our piping system to convey. Once the swale is complete, it should be designed to overflow downstream towards the nearest drain. Introducing additional water into the community stormwater management system is prohibited and will reduce its limited capacity. This includes, but is not limited to, pool backwash drains, cooling well overflows, rain gutter underground roof conductors, and water generated from roofs, driveways, and other impervious areas. Contact the Association Property Manager with any concerns with stormwater and your property drainage swales.
