Complex Rules

To ensure harmonious living and a safe environment for all residents and guests, we have established a set of community rules and guidelines. These rules cover various aspects of daily living within our complex, including noise levels, pet policies, parking regulations, and more. We kindly ask all residents and visitors to adhere to these rules to promote a peaceful and respectful living environment.

Ocean Breeze Rules 2024  (A thru Z)

Bicycles, skateboards, roller blades and similar recreational items are prohibited on walkways, pool deck, tennis court or other common areas.

Cleaning of balconies and walkways outside your unit is appreciated and appropriate.  However, be cautious of the units below.  Always check with the unit below prior to sweeping or  hosing off upper floor areas to ensure that you do not sweep dirt or spray water overrun on unsuspecting residents below.  Check to make sure that your water overspray does not spray onto vehicles in the parking lot, etc. 

Clubroom (first floor between 104 and 105) may be reserved for private use by owners and tenants by contacting Management at northshoregroup@aol.com or 386-677-3109.  If you need to use the grill for your event, you may also reserve the south side grill/area in conjunction with the clubhouse.  If you are not going to be using the grill, you cannot reserve it just so others will not use the area.  When the clubroom and/or the outside grill area is reserved, cleanup and guest safety are the sole responsibility of the owner who reserved the room. Alcohol is allowed but must be removed from the clubroom when your event ends.  When not reserved, the Clubroom may be used on a first come basis.  Owners are responsible for their tenants.  If tenants cause damage or do not properly clean up after themselves, the Association will bill the owner accordingly.

Bylaws Section 12.1 states that an owner is liable for the expense of maintenance or repair caused by the owner’s negligence or that of any member of the owner’s family, guests, employees, or lessees, but only to the extent that it is not covered by the Association’s insurance. This section further provides that an owner is liable for the increase in insurance premiums caused by the owner’s negligence.
