3.5. Report Unauthorized Vehicles. If you see an unauthorized vehicle, feel free to report it to the property manager of the association or the rental manager or owner of your unit. To keep our condo parking and our pool from being used by unauthorized persons, the Association strictly enforces the rules and calls the local police if there’s a problem.
3.6. Vehicle Damage or Stolen Property. The Association is not responsible for vehicle damage or broken or stolen property such as bicycles or other personal items. - Pool Rules – The association assumes no liability in case of pool accidents. No lifeguard is ever on duty. All owners, renters, and guests swim and use the hot tub at their own risk. All people using the pool and/or hot tub are required to follow all rules posted on the wall located on the pool deck. If you do not follow the rules and the Association is charged, you will be personally responsible for said charges.

4.5. Gates Must Stay Locked. Both pool gates must stay closed and locked when not entering or exiting the pool area. Each unit has a gate code.

4.11. City Inspections. Please note that our condo is often inspected by the city, and fines and pool closures may ruin your great holiday. - Supervision of Children – Children under 18 must be under adult supervision at all times, with no exceptions.
- No Running or Loud Playing. For the safety of your children and for the safety and enjoyment of all Oceanway guests, do not allow children to run or play loudly in the garage, in the pool area, in the outside stairwells, or anywhere inside the condominium unit such as the hallways, bedrooms, and living areas. Oceanway is a wood frame building with no sound insulation between floors, which means that the running and playing of children inside your unit is extremely noisy and disturbing to guests staying below you. The beach is the appropriate area for children to run and play. There are also nearby parks designed for children to run and play. The nearest park is Kolb Park and Playground, located on Bay Palm Boulevard between 15th Avenue & 16th Avenue (across from City Hall, IRB Library, and the Beach Art Center).
- No Parties – For the safety of your family and for the safety and enjoyment of all Oceanway guests, no parties of any kind are allowed at the Oceanway pool or inside any Oceanway units. This includes pool parties, birthday parties, barbecues, etc. The only exception to this is for an adult poolside party approved in advance by the condominium board.
- Garbage – All garbage and trash must be contained, sealed, and placed in the dumpster located on the north side of the building by the street. Do not leave garbage outside your condominium door or on the ground in the dumpster area.
- Elevator – Absolutely no smoking in the elevator (see Rule #1). Please do not track sand or water into the elevator. Children are not permitted to use the elevator unless they are accompanied by an adult. You are responsible to ensure that your children do not push the emergency button located in the elevator. This is an extremely important rule, as an emergency procedure is followed when the button is pushed. The Association will also be charged an emergency response fee from Police and Fire Department, which will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian of the child who pushed the button.
- Balconies – Absolutely no smoking on the balconies (see Rule #1). Do not drape towels, swimsuits, or other clothing over the balcony rail. Do not throw or drop items from the balcony, and please be extremely careful to prevent glass objects from falling off the balconies, as any glass breakage on the pool deck will cause temporary pool closure.
- Noise – Please be aware that our building is a wood frame building with no sound insulation between floors. This means that the family underneath you can hear you walking and moving furniture, and children running up and down the condo hallways sounds like a thunderous stampede in the unit below you and destroys the tranquility of an ocean-front vacation for many of our guests. Accordingly, please remove your shoes inside, walk lightly, and ensure that your children do not run inside the condo. When moving dining chairs or barstools to sit, please try to lift and move them rather than sliding them on the floor.
11.1. Quiet Hours. In all cases, noise should be kept to a minimum from 9pm to 9am.
11.2. Music. Please be extremely considerate when listening to music outside at the pool or on balconies, to ensure that others will not be disturbed. If you desire to listen to music at the pool, please be considerate of the type of music and the volume. Ask others at the pool and outside on the balconies if they mind the type of music you are playing, or if it is too loud. - Bird Feeding – Please do not feed the birds or other wildlife on the premises.
- Personal Items – Please use the storage lockers to store all beach and pool items. Do not leave personal items such as pool toys, rafts, etc. in the pool area when you are not present. Please do not leave items in the parking garage or in the hallways.
- Bicycles – If you rent or bring a bicycle, you can lock it in the bike rack near the elevators, on the grass, or at the public bicycle rack near the beach access ramp. The Association is not responsible for stolen or broken bicycles.
- No Pets – Oceanway is a pet free building for renters and their guests.
- Grills – If you use a propane grill, please clean it when done, and please turn off the propane on every knob and turn off the propane tank.
- COVID-19 – Some renters and guests may still practice social distancing at our building. We do continue to clean and sanitize the elevators and pool area regularly. Your condo should have been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized by the owners’ cleaners prior to your stay. If you or anyone in your group is sick, please see a doctor.
On behalf of the Oceanway Condo Board and Owners Association, thank you for reading and abiding by these Rules.
