The master association for all of BSM, including independent homes, is commonly referred to as Section 22 HOA.  It collects an annual fee through its property manager to cover the maintenance of the common areas, roads, access systems and infrastructure.

Our community is also unique in that it is one of the few gated communities with both a 27-hole golf course and a privately-owned marina. The marina is the largest deep-water marina on the west coast of Florida and offers wet and dry storage in addition to a boat launch ramp. We offer a Fitness, Racquet and Pool Club with a workout center, classes, pool/spa as well as tennis & pickleball courts.
