Perennial Vacation Club

Lots of “sawdust” at
all of our resorts, though mostly at Bandera.
Although a very prominent Bandera Homestead
sign indicates the
turn off the main
highway, we’ve
added an “almost
there.” A beautiful
sign now answers
the inevitable, “are
we there yet?” as
you drive the access
road to our hilltop
Y’all keep on comin’
resort. We are
especially proud of our team effort: designed by
our resident communications director and graphic
designer since 1989,
Gary Edwards, and
built on site by our
maintenance staff.
And should you
arrive after dark, it
has solar powered
lighting.
The Bandera crew
has also been busy
with a complete
remodel of Building
“A,” a substantial
project that included
some minor changes
Cowboy cozy
to layout, new
cabinets, countertops, carpet, mattresses and
furniture. We are pleased to say it is complete and
ready for our members and guests to enjoy.
The Daytona kitchen and bathroom remodels
have been completed and all the windows will
be upgraded for enhancement and insulation.
Additionally we have upgraded the WiFi system to
increase coverage on the property and offer some
of the best WiFi service in the Beach area. New
sofas and TVs are on the way. Tahoe is
getting a lot of new carpet and furniture.
And still more is being planned!

NO Annual Maintenance
Fee Increase...
for the third year in a row!
Annual maintenance fees are an important and necessary
aspect of membership. Member accommodations are an
integral part of the vacation experience and critical to
maintaining a high exchange rating. We regularly replace
carpet, mattresses, furniture and appliances. And just as
important as the interiors are the look and functionality
of exteriors. What is difficult to anticipate are the “out of
left field” happenings that require us to dip into reserves
and economize from elsewhere. A good example of this
is a recent one-in-a-million lightening strike that took out
the five Bandera Resort septic pumps, satellite WiFi and
TV, office computer and printer. All have been replaced
and updated. In Daytona, all our beachfront units were
mandated to have “turtle glass“– one-way glass which
ensures that newly hatched baby turtles head to sea, not
to check-in at our resort. Then the city fathers sent us
the latest requirement that all resorts must have much
smaller signs that are significantly lower to the ground.
The Tahoe snowplow has finally seen its last winter. The
list goes on, but you get the picture.
As a member owned and operated, not-for-profit
vacation club, you can be assured that the board of
directors and staff will always carefully and diligently
balance the cost to our members of maintaining the
highest quality vacation experience at the lowest annual
maintenance fee possible.
