    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 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 units - maximum of 4 occupants, 2 BR units - maximum of 6 occupants, 3 BR units - maximum of 8 occupants, 5 BR units - maximum of 12 occupants.

    • Maximum number of vehicles per rental guest are: 1 BR units – 1 vehicle, 2 BR units - 2 vehicles, 3 BR units - 3 vehicles, 5 BR units - 4 vehicles (without prior approval from the Master Association). These vehicle limits do not apply to owners.

    CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 NOTICE
    AND HEALTH / SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
    COVID-19 is an extremely contagious virus and is believed to spread mainly through person to person contact. Transmission through surfaces is also possible. Governmental authorities recommend social distancing and limitations on the congregation of groups of people. It is impossible for the community to continuously disinfect all amenities and furnishings in a manner to totally eradicate the potential spread of COVID-19.
    The Tides at Tops’l Owners Association, Inc. cannot guarantee that you, your children, family, or guests using condominium amenities or common areas will not become exposed to COVID-19 while in these areas. By using these amenities and common areas, you voluntarily assume the risk that you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability or death. By using the amenities, common areas, luggage carts etc., you are accepting sole responsibility for such occurrences that you may experience or incur as a result of amenity use.
    All persons must abide by Centers for Disease Control recommendations and the following rules:
    1. No more than 10 people may congregate together at any time.
    2. Social distancing must be observed, including maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet from other people.
    3. Use common-sense precautions to minimize your own physical contact with surfaces which may be touched by others. Please wipe-down any high-touch surfaces prior to use and clean after use if possible.
    4. If you are experiencing any of the known symptoms of COVID-19, or if within the past 14 days you have come into contact with anyone suspected of infection or who is experiencing such symptoms, you should immediately cease using all recreational amenities and common areas at the Tides at Tops’l and take steps as recommended by the CDC for minimizing the exposure of other persons to possible contagion.
    5. Persons traveling to the State of Florida from areas with substantial community spread, to include Louisiana, New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, and persons entering Florida through airports, are required to isolate or quarantine in accordance with State of Florida Executive Orders 20-80, 20-82 and 20-86. You are responsible for complying with these directives. Violations
