Every owner of property (residential and commercial) at TOPS’L is automatically a member of this association and is represented through the Board of Directors. There are currently 600+ residential members and one commercial member (Vacasa). The Association is governed by its Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Each residential property elects a representative to the Board of Directors. The directors have a very specific responsibility to their members which requires all officers and directors to be well-informed, to make reasonable business judgments, and to follow the requirements of the law when making decisions. The Board is a policy-making body: it sets guidelines and directs procedure; it keeps its members up to date with projects and issues and receives feedback from its members.

According to the governing documents, the Board of Directors has sole voting power, which is why it is vital that the directors are in tune with issues affecting members of their association yet are impartial enough to make decisions which are in the best interest of TOPS’L.

Representatives of the seven residential associations on the Board of Directors are:

  • Keith Raines (The Summit)
  • Steve Harrison (Captiva)
  • Todd Garey (The Tides)
  • Art Chapman (Sierra Dunes)
  • Kelly Little (Tennis Village)
  • Rick Bell (Beach Manor)
  • TBD (Grand Villas)
  • Monument sign at the entrance to the resort and small “entrance” and “exit” signs
  • Concrete roadway from Highway 98 to the circle at the end of Tops’l Beach Blvd.

Each member of TOPS’L Master Association contributes to the upkeep and replacement of these assets through quarterly assessments.

In fiscal year 2024, each member of a residential association (Beach Manor, Captiva, Grand Villas, Sierra Dunes, The Summit, Tennis Village and The Tides) pays a quarterly assessment of $285; Vacasa, as a non-residential member, pays a quarterly assessment based on a square footage formula as set forth in the governing documents.
