Common Buyer Questions
I am interested in purchasing at Seawind. Who can I talk to for more information?
You or your real estate agent can contact our onsite manager at (251) 967-1201.
Are there monthly Association dues and what do they cover?
Yes, monthly dues are prorated based on square footage of each unit. These provide for the maintenance and operation of the complex, TV, internet and phone services and property insurance. Owners are responsible for and encouraged to purchase their own H06 owner policies to cover contents, interior upgrades, liability and loss of rental income if appropriate.
Are Seawind condos exclusively vacation rentals?
While the majority of the units are primarily marketed as vacation rentals, many owners enjoy spending at least some time here, offer them up for friends or family to enjoy, and several owners are full-time residents.
Are all Seawind condos the same size?
No, condos range in size from 1131 square feet, with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a study, often used as a bunk room, to 1831 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths.
Does the Association provide rental management services?
No, owners that offer their units as a vacation rentals either self-manage, or employ one of the many rental management companies that operate in the area.
Is Seawind a good investment?
Potential buyers should rely on their own due diligence in making an investment decision, but we feel it says something that over a dozen owners have chosen to own multiple condos at Seawind rather than invest in other condominiums in the area. Further, current owners regularly are looking for an additional unit to purchase at the property, and many encourage friends and family to purchase units as well.
How can I get a copy of the condo documents and bylaws?
Contact Coastline Management at (251) 948-7001.
Does Seawind have healthy reserves?
Seawind has one of the strongest reserves of any condominium complex on the Alabama coast. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regulations require that associations must budget at least 10% of annual operating revenues as contribution to reserves to cover capital expenditures and deferred maintenance. If an association does not meet this standard, borrowers may not be eligible for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac backed mortgage loans. To protect owners and their investment, Seawind routinely makes reserve contributions that exceed this 10% minimum.
Is Seawind professionally managed?
Yes, Seawind contracts with Coastline Management, a local company, for management of the Association and property. We have a dedicated on-site manager to oversee operations and maintenance. Coastline provides an owner portal for paying dues (automatically if desired), accessing important Association documents, and to easily submit and track maintenance requests.
Is the Board of Directors active and accessible?
Yes, the Board is very active in the management of the complex, with help from Coastline Management. The Board welcomes any owner to contact any Board member on any Seawind topic.
How does the Board of Directors communicate with owners?
The Board makes their personal phone numbers and email addresses readily available to all owners, encouraging direct contact if needed. To quickly get important information out to all owners, email is used. The Board created and maintains a private Facebook Group where owners are encouraged to collaborate on any number of topics, and video announcements are routinely posted there. The Board also publishes a quarterly newsletter that is emailed to all owners and archived on the owner portal.
Are there annual owner meetings?
Yes, currently the annual owner’s meeting is held in early November
Are there organized owner activities?
The Board hosts a monthly owners’ social to provide owners who are in town an opportunity to gather, meet and socialize. There is also typically a social the night before the annual meeting in November.
