Q & A
What is The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village?
The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village comprises 24 elegant two- and three-bedroom residences, a
well-appointed reception lobby and lounge, rooftop swimming pools and a
marina with Club boats and slips. Each residence is fully furnished,
exquisitely accessorized and features water views and private
balconies. Your Club staff ensures that you enjoy worry-free ownership
and hassle-free vacations. There are only eight owners per residence, ensuring that each enjoys abundant and flexible lodging privileges.
If I purchase at The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village, do I own real estate?
Yes. Ownership is evidenced by a real estate warranty deed, which is
recorded and insured by a title policy. Each owner is conveyed a
one-eighth, debt-free, undivided, deeded interest in one of the Club's
fully furnished residences.
What are the advantages of residence club ownership?
The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village has been designed to provide
owners with generous and flexible vacation use; offer exceptional
services and amenities not normally available with a Cedar Key real
estate purchase; remove the worries typically associated with
vacation-home ownership; provide hassle-free enjoyment of the Club's
private boats and marina; and significantly reduce the financial burden
through shared ownership of the residences and Club facilities.
Have residence clubs been developed at other prestigious locations?
Yes. This ownership concept has been enthusiastically embraced by
affluent buyers since the early ‘90s. Residence clubs have enjoyed
success at premier resorts, such as: Aspen, Vail, Telluride, and
Steamboat Springs, Colorado; Deer Valley, Utah; Jackson Hole, Wyoming;
Palm Springs and Napa Valley, California; Los Cabos, Mexico; and
Tucker's Town, Bermuda. There is also a luxurious residence club in
Manhattan. Each of these residence clubs is owned and operated much
like The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village. Additional residence clubs are in development in a variety of prestigious beach,
golf, mountain and urban destinations worldwide. The creators of the
residence club concept are part of the Cedar Key Village development
team.

As an owner, how often can I vacation at my Club?
As often as you wish, subject only to the Club's reservation policies.
Owners have the flexibility of reserving Club vacations well in advance
and also on a short-notice basis. Each year, owners may reserve up to
21 days of planned vacations in advance. This leaves abundant
opportunity for additional vacations. There is no limit to the amount
of use. If some owners visit their Club less, others can visit more.
Owners pay only the published housekeeping fees anytime they reside at
the Club.
Does the club offer any exchange privileges?
Yes, owners may exchange vacation days through Destination Exchange International, which allows you to vacation at prestigious resorts worldwide. A nominal fee is charged for each exchange.

Is the Club a typical timeshare development?
No. Timeshare is typically the right to use only a specific week and
lodging is limited to a specific unit. Club owners have access to all
residences within their ownership category (two- or three-bedroom) with
the right to use anytime, subject to the reservation policies and
availability.
How many ownerships will be sold?
The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village strictly limits the number of
owners to no more than eight per residence. There will be only 192 Club
ownerships sold.
How much does an ownership cost?
Owners receive a one-eighth undivided, deeded interest in an elegantly furnished two- or three-bedroom residence. Pricing begins at $186,000 and $240,000 respectively.
Can more than one family or individual share a single ownership?
Yes. Individuals can form partnerships to control an ownership or hold title as tenants-in-common.
Will owners always stay in the same residence?
No. Although ownership is represented by a deed to a specified
residence, owners have equal access to all Club residences within their
ownership category. This provides the greatest amount of use and
flexibility. Owners may request a specific residence and this request
will be granted when possible, subject to the reservation policies and
availability.
Can owners reserve more than one residence during the same time period?
Yes. This is one of the unique Club benefits. Because owners are not
restricted to a particular residence, they can reserve more than one
residence at a given time. It is possible that an owner could
simultaneously reserve multiple residences for the same days if
sufficient Club residences are available.
What if the number of owners
wishing to stay at the Club during certain time periods exceeds the
number of residences available?
The Club reservation
policies have been designed to equitably allocate peak-period vacations
when demand for lodging may exceed supply. Rotating reservation priority numbers ensure that all owners have equal access to
peak-period vacations over the years. This system has proved to be fair
and effective at other residence clubs for more than a decade.
Do Club owners have guest privileges?
Yes. Owners may invite guests to stay with them during their Club
vacations and they also may invite unaccompanied guests to use any of
their confirmed Club vacations without a guest fee.
Will the Club be open to the public?
The Club is privately owned and operated for the exclusive enjoyment of
Club owners and their guests. Prior to full subscription of ownerships,
limited public use will be permitted for marketing purposes. The
lodging rights of Club owners will not be diminished by such use.
Do owners pay any lodging charges when they vacation at the Club?
No.
Do owners pay any other charges when they stay at their Club?
Yes. Housekeeping fees will be charged for each visit. Daily service
includes trash removal, towel replenishment, surface cleaning and bed
making. Owners and guests may request full-maid service at an extra
charge.
Do owners pay annual fees?
Yes. The annual fees pay for the professional management and operation
of all Club residences and facilities. Included in these annual fees
are funds for staff salaries, supplies, property taxes, insurance,
maintenance, trash removal, legal/accounting, utilities, and reserves
for replacement and/or refurbishing of the Club facilities.
What is the quality of the Club construction, furniture and accessories?
The Club construction is of the highest quality. A well-respected
interior design firm will ensure that each residence is completely and
elegantly furnished, including high-quality entertainment equipment,
appliances and fixtures. The accessory package includes all kitchen
utensils, cookware and silverware.
Who establishes the fees and controls the affairs of the Club?
An owner-elected Board of Directors establishes budgets and fees on an annual basis.
If I become an owner at The Residence Club at Cedar Key Village, when can I begin enjoying my Club?
Construction is scheduled to begin Winter 2007, with the first Club residence scheduled for occupancy in 2008.
