It’s hard to believe we’ve already arrived at the first day of August! Kids are enjoying their summer vacation while owners and guests come to the CC, eager to soak up the beaches and beauty of Marco Island. Eric and the crew are all set with the sailboats, or maybe you’re simply ready to unwind with your favorite book as Paul welcomes you—hopefully with one of his famous slushies.
With the warming climate bringing challenges like fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, we truly cherish the moments we arrive at our home away from home and enjoy everything CC has to offer. As hurricane season intensifies, we’ll soon be paying close attention to how the weather might impact our time here.
A huge thank you to our Board, who have dedicated countless hours over the past few years tackling rising insurance costs, COVID challenges, price increases, shipping delays, structural integrity, building repairs, landscaping, renovations, and more. Their strong leadership has helped us avoid major assessments and steep maintenance fee hikes, all while keeping CC beautifully maintained and safe for our families.
As a special update from our President, Marty Terry, we’re thrilled to share that the current insurance deductible has been reduced from approximately $3.4 million to $250,000. Marty and the Board are still finalizing the details, and your webmistress will keep you updated as soon as everything is confirmed. Thank you, Marty and the Board, for keeping us informed with the latest important news and developments!

Big thanks to our brilliant Board for keeping the Charter Club not only alive but thriving—like a fine wine that’s aging beautifully (with just the right amount of structural reinforcement). The buildings are still standing tall (no duct tape needed), and the interiors have been refreshed so well you’d think HGTV moved in.
Recognizing that many of us have aged gracefully right alongside CC, the Board thoughtfully cushioned the tennis courts—not just for better bounce, but so we don’t bounce ourselves into physical therapy. And because pickleball has exploded like a midlife crisis on roller skates, they’ve added lines to the courts so we can play both games without getting into a turf war.
Now, for the big news: we’re not just getting an instructor—we’re getting THE INSTRUCTOR. Our very own Scott Shook is now officially available for tennis and pickleball lessons! That’s right, you can call up Scott and get schooled by a legend. If you’re new to the Charter Club and haven’t met Scott yet, just picture a tennis pro who’s as talented with a racket as he is charming—and who somehow makes you feel like Serena Williams even when you’re whiffing the ball.
So here’s to a fabulous season of cushioned courts, fancy footwork, and lots of laughter. Game on!

2024 Maintenance Fee Increase
Why the increase in 2024 Maintenance fees? Let’s go behind the scenes!
With the warming waters and earth warming we are experiencing hurricanes that are more powerful, fires, earthquakes and many other weather related disasters that are resulting in the high increase in insurance (in many areas on the water you can’t even get insurance) that not only our property but every other property on the water is facing.
Did you know that CC in the past had only a $25,000 deductible when a hurricane hit?
We have shared with 4 Hilton properties a $100,000 deductible so each property had a $25,000 deductible. This year the Board was notified that not only the insurance premium was being increased but also the deductible. Let me start off with the premium. Our premium increased by $780,000 and the insurance company required that the total premium must be paid in its entirety up front.
This reduced our reserves by $1,714,616. Now to add insult to injury our deductible was increased from $25,000 to now $3.300.000 (before buy down policy that will come into play and hopefully reduce the $3,300,000 – see below for more detailed information) The new deductible is not split – each property has their own for each occurrence. Yes, now over a 3 million increase in the deductible before insurance starts to pay. Now the Board looked into buying a policy on the deductible (buy down policy). It’s a very confusing policy but depending on the category, (must be cat 3 or greater) where it hits, the damage it causes to the other Hilton properties along with other variables determines the payout. No one will know until after a hurricane how much the insurance will help reduce the $3,300,000 deductible. With all the new developments the Board addressed the renovations scheduled for the living room, dining room, master and guest bedrooms. The model unit (101) has been completed and there were discussions on whether to move ahead with the renovations or hold off. There were different opinions with some members feeling the owners expected the units to be done and the money was in the reserves to others feeling it was their fiscal responsibility to the owners to hold back and have additional reserves. Thanks to the Board who could give our government some lessons ? they compromised leaving no one completely happy but knowing they were doing what they believe to be in the best interest of the Charter Club..
