I am new here, so I hope I am posting in the right place. Thanks for the photos on the refurbished unit btw.

I am writing because I just read a notice on the myresidence site that the housekeeping fees have been increased as of July 1. Am I the last person to know this has changed? I was under the impression that we still had daily cleaning, one full clean per week (and never recall having to pay for a check out cleaning) as part of our HOA dues. Maybe I am misunderstanding - and I do have an email in to owner services.

Hah. Replying to myself .. I got a message from owner services that they still have the regular cleaning schedule in place for no additional charge. Anywho -- jumped the gun on that one. Sorry.

Hi Pamela

That memo from 4Seasons was oddly worded. Appreciate you posting. Looks like 2 main changes -- one for smoking fee ( now $300 ( each time ?? ) ) and the 2nd for pet fee cleaning ( you only pay this once a stay - was $195 for 2bbd now $230 / 1bbd now $130 and studio now $100 )

Who will. be the first to report the start on ondo updating -- should start soon .... :)

Another fee update/upcharge - the fee to split the lock off into two units went from $59 to $85 (three days before I did mine for 2025 and no possibility of a pass on this one šŸ˜•) about 10 days ago.

Hi Pamela

That memo from 4Seasons was oddly worded. ...snip ....
these extra options are described below ( from a question I sent Owners Services ) ... something I have learned after all these years ... ;-)

" These are the additional cleaning fees we offer. The full clean is an additional room refresh with a change of sheets, towels, etc. The check out cleaning fee is typically used when owners leave mid week and send in friends or family, it allows the room to be fully reset as if no one has never stayed in the room. Turn down is for a refresh before bed. "

Hello, I'm also considering purchasing resale here. It looks like the deal is not for the summer weeks though and it is a stand alone one bedroom. My concern is I've read on this thread you need at least two in order to get weeks you want. Also, when renting it out, is the resort okay with that?
If you are still interested in purchasing at Aviara, my father in law currently has 5 weeks and would like to reduce it to 3 or even less and is a very motivated seller. You can email me at Bosox.jp@gmail.com if you would like to start a discussion.
Thanks.

Hi Seamaster, are you still looking to buy at Aviara?
