TOPS'L Master Association Resort Rules

These rules/policies have been established to maintain a safe and pleasurable environment for all owners and rental guests.

All rental guests agree to abide by the established TOPS’L Master Association Resort Rules and Policies and the TOPS’L Master Association Beach Policy and to comply with any requests made by the TOPS’L Security Staff or the Beach Service.

General:

  • The speed limit on TOPS’L Resort is 15 MPH. Please slow down and observe all pedestrian crosswalks and stop signs.
  • Please DO NOT walk over the sand dunes on our beach. Dune vegetation (plants) like Sea Oats that grow in the sand dunes, are very important. The roots and blades of these plants help hold sand in place and reduce the amount of dune erosion but are easily damaged by foot traffic that disturbs the sand near their roots. The frontal dunes provide significant protection for the Resort during hurricanes. Fl. Statute 161.242 imposes a $1000.00 fine and/or up to one year in jail for anyone that destroys or cuts Sea Oats. Please remain at least 10’ away from all sand dunes.
  • Rental Unit occupancy limits are: 1 BR unit – maximum of 4 occupants, 2 BR units – maximum of 6 occupants, 3 BR units – maximum of 8 occupants, 4 BR units – maximum 10 occupants, 5 BR units – maximum of 12 occupants. Exceeding the maximum occupancy is grounds for immediate eviction with no refund of rent or deposit. An owner may set a more restrictive occupancy limit for their unit.
  • Maximum number of vehicles per rental guest are: 1 BR units – 1 vehicle, 2 BR units – 2 vehicles, 3 BR units -3 vehicles, 4 BR units – 4 vehicles, 5 BR units – 5 vehicles. These vehicle limits do not apply to owners.
  • Guests/Renters are not allowed to bring pets onto the resort. Only owners are authorized to have a pet on the Resort and the pet must be registered with the individual Association and display an owner tag at all times. Bringing an unauthorized pet onto the Resort is grounds for immediate eviction with no refund of rent or deposit.
  • Parking is only authorized at the Building/Association indicated on the parking pass provided by TOPS’L Security. Parking passes must be prominently displayed in the vehicle at all times while on the Resort with the property location, unit number, and checkout date clearly visible. Parking is prohibited along TOPS’L Beach Blvd. to include around the south circle in front of Beach Manor and Tides.
  • To register as a rental guest, you must be over the age of 25. No rental guest under the age of 25 will be allowed to check in unless accompanied by an adult 25 years or older. Any unit occupied by rental guests must have an adult, 25 years or older, remain an occupant of the unit throughout your stay.
  • Non-owner TOPS’L Club Memberships do not include rights of access to or use of the TOPS’L Beach and are subject to removal from the beach and may be fined up to $1,000.00 and potential loss of TOPS’L Club membership.
