Thank you for respecting the Holiday Beach Deed Restrictions.

NOTE: The restrictions contain minor errors.  For accurate restrictions and interpertation or policy of the restrictions contact the HBPOA Office.
 
The following restrictions cover all sections of Holiday Beach.
There are, however, some exceptions for certain sections, with those sections having an added paragraph under number 10 of the restrictions. At the end of the restrictions you will find an explanation of what sections contain the above-mentioned extra paragraph, along with the paragraph.  There is also a difference in the restrictions for Oak Shores, and the difference will be explained.  In the interest of space, the restrictions are not typed as the original, thus cannot be used as a legal document.
