Is anyone familiar with Florida resorts that offer day use to owners?

I travel to the Tampa area quite a bit for work and usually take a couple of extra days for goofing off and fishing.

The Beach Club at St. Augustine Beach, FL (1 floating week, purchased in 1982)

77,000 RCI points (Sunrise Ridge Resort, TN)
Not near Tampa, but our home resort, The Beach Club at St Augustine Beach offers day use to the owners. There is a limit on how many guests we can sign in and the resort can limit or prohibit day use during very busy times. There are 2 (1 male, 1 female) shower/change/toilet rooms in the lobby so you don't need to hang around until your bathing suit is dry!

Well, it was worth a shot. I was hoping for a west coast beach resort.

I was hoping for a west coast beach resort.

Tropical Sands Resort in Fort Myers Beach has day use privileges for owners. So does Bonita Resort & Club a few miles south in nearby Bonita Beach. I know this to be so only because I have family members who have owned and used fixed weeks at both of those places for many years now. That being said, this is not at all close to Tampa, the area you mentioned in your initial post on this subject.

I believe Cameron Cove offers day use. But I would call them 727-596-8610. Excellent 2 BR resort, we are looking to buy there. Located about 10 miles south of Clearwater.
