PRIVATE EVENT RULES
Our common properties are for the use of all Sunset Beach residents. Therefore, if a Sunset Beach neighbor wishes to use the Beach & Pier area or the Park/Playground for a personal party or other event, we ask that the following rules be observed.
1. You must get prior permission from the President of the Association to make sure that your event is expected and will not cause conflicts with anyone else.
2. Your use of the beach & pier area must not interfere with other neighbors’ continuing use of the beach, piers, or launching ramp; your use of the park/playground should not interfere with residents’ normal use.
3. At the beach area, you must not allow any cars to park on the lower lot except when you are actually loading or unloading things for the event. Parking around the park/playground will depend on the number of cars expected; a plan should be agreed upon by the President.
4. You must take responsibility for the appropriate behavior of your guests.
5. You must clean up completely after the event, leaving the area as clean or cleaner than you found it.
6. You should take away from the grounds any trash your event generates.
Having such amenities as a play area, a waterfront recreation and boating area and attractive open spaces for all to enjoy is a great privilege. These common properties, if kept attractive and useful, enormously enhance all our individual property values.
The community is non-riparian, meaning that waterfront properties do not extend to the water's edge. Therefore, it is up to the community to decide if any piers other than those at our beach area are built. To date, we have received very few such requests and refused all of them.
