President's Message

July 3, 2024

My Fellow Owners,

Another year has passed and we are approaching the next annual meeting of our timeshare owners’ association. Please attend the August 17th, 2024 meeting if you can. If you are unable to attend, please fill out and return a proxy (and voting certificate if applicable) so that we can reach a quorum.

I am very pleased to report that thanks to the Owners, the Board, and Management, we have largely put the Hurricane Ian problems behind us. It was an unprecedented challenge for our Resort and I want to thank everyone for pulling together so we could emerge from that crisis better and stronger than we were before.

Since our last Annual Membership Meeting, we are proud to report the following improvements to our Resort:

• Miniature Golf: Our popular mini golf was destroyed by the hurricane but our new and very much improved course is now open for you and your family to enjoy. It’s absolutely beautiful!
• Unit Remodels: We’ve rolled out a brand new design for the interiors of our townhomes incorporating a more modern open concept and new color palette. We always try to put our owners in the newest remodeled units.
• Exterior Renovations: Stucco, facia, and soffits have been repaired and all buildings have been repainted in a contemporary color scheme creating a fresh, new, and much more modern look and feel to the property.
• Slide Flume & Tower Renovation: The slides and tower were overhauled and the much-needed work has resulted in a more comfortable, seamless ride experience and improved safety for riders for years to come.
• Bear’s Beach Club: Come check our inflatable obstacle course and water slide experience designed for those aged 5-11 who cannot ride the main slides and may be too big for the splash pad. Bear’s Beach Club operates seasonally on the weekends to accommodate periods of high traffic at the pool.

As you know, weeks are assigned within your ownership season on a first-come, first-served basis. The most desirable weeks book up quickly. The earlier you reserve, the better your chance of getting your first choice of week.

You can reserve your week up to a year in advance so long as you have paid your maintenance fee for that usage year. For example, if you want to book the first week of June, 2025, you can pre-pay your estimated 2025 maintenance fee now and make that reservation now. If you wait until January 1st, you may not get the week you want.

As always, don’t let your week go to waste; if you don’t know when you can use it, consider making a reservation and depositing it with an exchange company for your future use.

On behalf of the Board and everybody at the Resort, thank you for your continued support!

What All Owners Should Know About Reservations

  • ​All reservation requests are confirmed on a first come / first served basis. 
  • The maintenance fee associated with the owner usage must be paid before a reservation can be confirmed.
  • ​Owners are eligible if they are requesting a reservation within their season of ownership (owners of Platinum deeds requesting Platinum season weeks, or owners of Gold deeds requesting Gold season weeks).
  • ​Every owner needs a specific reservation at the resort to make use of their ownership.
  • ​Owners wishing to exchange their reservation with an exchange provider, must first obtain a confirmed reservation from the resort and provide the details of the reservation to their exchange provider. The reservation is the medium of exchange providers. This applies to same year exchange and to owners wishing to bank their usage for a future year. Owners are encouraged to contact their exchange provider as soon as they know their plan is to deposit and they have their confirmation email.
  • ​Owners may pay an amount equal to the prior years maintenance fee if they want to confirm a reservation before the amount of the maintenance fee is established for the year (late summer or early fall; at the annual meeting). Any difference will be bill when the final amounts are established.

Notice of Potential Scam!

Fellow Owners, 

Be Alert! 

We have gotten reports from owners that they have been contacted by somebody claiming to be with “Festiva” (which is probably not accurate) which “owns the Resort” (which is definitely not accurate). This person is offering to sell “Rental Protection” to our fellow owners. Owners are asked to pay this person $1,195. In return for that payment, the owners’ week as well as two additional “getaway weeks” will allegedly be rented in the owners’ name. Supposedly, the proceeds from the rental of the 3 weeks (totaling $13,000) will then be paid to the owner. 

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If we could turn a maintenance fee plus $1,195 into $13,000 we’d all be rich. 

You own the Vacation Villas at FantasyWorld Resort, not Festiva nor any other developer. We do not believe the people contacting our owners with this offer are actually associated with Festiva. We don’t know who they are. We don’t know anything about “getaway weeks,” nobody gets 3 weeks for 1 maintenance fee. These people do not represent us. We did not sell or give anybody your phone numbers. There are lots of scams out there. 

PLEASE BE CAREFUL! 

Warmest Regards 

Scott J. Smith, President

on behalf of the Board of Directors and Management Team of Vacation Villas at FantasyWorld Time-Share Owners Association Inc.

Notice of Authorization
for Non Judicial Foreclosure

If a timeshare owner fails to make timely payments of timeshare plan common expenses, ad valorem taxes, or special assessments, an assessment lien against the timeshare owner’s timeshare interest may be foreclosed in accordance with a judicial foreclosure procedure or a trustee foreclosure procedure, either of which may result in the loss of the timeshare owner’s timeshare interest. If the managing entity initiates a trustee foreclosure procedure, the timeshare owner shall have the option to object pursuant to Florida law, and in such event the managing entity may thereafter proceed only by filing a judicial foreclosure action.

COVID-19 Update

NOTICE

The FantasyWorld Resort proudly complies with its governing documents, state and local health regulations, as well as federal ADA regulations.
We all love our furry friends but to comply with the rules that govern us and to ensure the safety of guests and pets.

NO ANIMALS ALLOWED

Except for Service Animals

“Service Animal” means any ADA recognized animal that is trained to do work or
perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.

PETS PROVIDING GENERAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, COMFORT, OR COMPANIONSHIP ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS SERVICE ANIMALS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INDIVIDUALLY TRAINED TO PERFORM A SPECIFIC TASK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ADA.

Unless the service provided by the animal is apparent, our agents will ask:
– Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
– What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

Misrepresenting a Service Animal is a violation of Florida Statute 413.08

YOUR SERVICE ANIMAL MUST ALWAYS BE UNDER YOUR CONTROL

ADA requires your Service Animal be harnessed, leashed, or otherwise tethered unless your disability or the work it does prevents the use of these tools. in that case, the Service Animal must be under control through other means such as voice commands or signals. If the Service Animal is out of control and you do not take effective action to control it, or if the Service Animal is not housebroken, we can require that it be removed from the premises. You are responsible for any damage caused by your service animal.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

Exchange

Using your Vacation Villas at FantasyWorld Reservation to Exchange to another resort or trading for another type of vacation experience.

The first step in the exchange process is to pay your maintenance fees to your home resort and request a specific reservation from that home resort. A confirmed specific reservation is the medium of exchange with exchange providers.

The exchange provider will need the check-in date, check-out date, confirmation number, and name of your home resort to complete the deposit or exchange process. All of this information is provided in the confirmation email from your home resort. 

All other aspects of the deposit/exchange are functions of the exchange provider. 
 

Exchange into Vacation Villas at FantasyWorld Resort

Owners from other resorts wishing to exchange into Vacation Villas at FantasyWorld are welcome to speak to their exchange provider about availability at our resort. Commonly, Interval International and DAE Live have the most of our inventory available, but our owners may use any exchange provider of their choosing, so it is possible to find availability from other sources. 

Our resort also operates a transient rental program for other units in the community which are not part of the timeshare plan.
