All Seasons Vacation Resort Update
11/22/24
Dear Owners:
I hope this message finds you well. It has been some time since our last update, and I want to
apologize for the delay.
Currently, progress on the restoration of All Seasons Resort is at a standstill as we await
completion of the engineering reviews and permitting process. I am optimistic that these steps
will move forward starting next week.
Here are the key updates:
• Elevator Repairs: The elevator pit has been cleaned out; however, the elevator itself
sustained damage and is not operational. We have paid the repair deposit and are waiting
for the vendor to schedule the repair.
• Remediation and Testing: Remediation work has been completed, and all required testing
submitted to the state has passed.
• The pool and spa have been drained, thoroughly cleaned, and refilled with fresh water.
However, repairs to the pool equipment, including pumps, heaters, and plumbing, are still
required before they can be fully operational.
• Contractor Readiness: Contractors are confirmed and ready to begin, but work cannot
proceed until permits are issued.
I understand this may not be the update you were hoping for, but at this time, the restoration
process is constrained by factors beyond the board’s and my control. To ensure everyone’s health
and safety, we must adhere to the necessary permitting and repair requirements.
As it stands, the resort will remain closed, with the current goal of reopening in early 2025.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging process. Please know that
we are committed to making the necessary repairs and improvements for the benefit of all
owners.
Sincerely,
Randy Paradine, on behalf of the Board of Directors

The cleanup phase at All Seasons Resort is now complete. The pool equipment area remains to be addressed, with the main equipment — pumps, heaters, pit, and plumbing — still needing removal due to storm surge damage. Most landscaping will also need removal, as saltwater intrusion from Helene has caused it to wither, and the winds from Milton knocked over a few of the trees on the property, along with the marquee sign for All Seasons.
We are now in the final remediation phase, expected to conclude this week, involving the removal of affected drywall in multiple units. This step is essential for the health and safety of all owners and guests. During remediation, the team discovered contamination and moisture within some units’ drywall. As a commercial property, we are required to test and report the removal of any contaminated areas to the state of Florida.
Once we receive clearance from the state, we will proceed to the restoration phase. At that point, contractors will begin replacing the drywall and painting affected areas.
We know all owners are eager to return to All Seasons, and we appreciate your patience as we work to ensure a safe and healthy environment. Professional contractors with expertise in handling these circumstances are managing the remediation, allowing us to tackle the issues effectively.
The board of directors and the Vacatia management team is fully dedicated to restoring All Seasons for the enjoyment of our owners and guests. They are working to expedite the restoration process, though it may take some time as resources are in high demand across the area.
The board president and the management team have met with insurance adjusters for both the flood and property policies. The flood adjuster inspected the property on October 18, followed on October 29 by the property adjuster, who visited each unit and observed the contaminated areas. This process will likely require multiple follow-up meetings with the adjusters to ensure they are fully aware of the extensive property damage. While these policies include various exclusions, we are working closely with the adjusters to navigate the coverage details as effectively as possible.
Photos of the restoration process have been posted on the All Seasons website under the About Us section, in the Photo Album under All Seasons Restoration.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Randy Paradine, on behalf of the Board of Directors

On behalf of your board, the on-site team, and Vacatia, I hope you and your loved ones are well.
I know you have questions about the current status of All Seasons and how the recent hurricane damage will affect the resort in both the short- and long-term.
When Hurricane Milton made landfall last week, the barrier islands were closed. All contractors who had been repairing the resort since after Hurricane Helene had to evacuate.
Over the past few days, we’ve been able to return to the island. Meetings with insurance adjusters that had to be postponed as Milton approached are now being rescheduled, we have been cleared to begin the remediation process, and the contractors have spent recent days re-establishing the construction site. This includes setting up fences and a safety zone, returning the equipment to the site, and removing debris. Power has now been restored to the resort.
With these positive developments, challenges remain. While the resort has power, the island’s power has only been partially restored. There are roadblocks. Debris still needs to be cleared from some streets.
We will continue to work through any challenges, and now that work has resumed, we can provide an initial assessment:
•There is water intrusion in numerous units
•The roof has been damaged — primarily the shingles
•The pool suffered some damage
•The All Seasons sign has been destroyed
•At the front of the property, two palm trees are down
Again, this is just an initial report on the damage. We will continue to work closely with the contractors, and in the coming weeks we will start putting together a timeline for reopening.
I know the temporary closure of All Seasons is not welcome news, but I want you to know that we stand with our owners. And we will continue to work with your board and the on-site team to bring All Seasons back as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we will continue to send regular email updates, and we will post images in Vacatia Clubhouse (vacatia.com/clubhouse).
Thank you and we’ll be in touch soon.

We hope you and your loved ones are well. Now that Hurricane Milton has passed, we want to give you a brief resort update.
With All Seasons already closed post-Helene, we did not need to evacuate owners and guests. The staff is also safe.
As for the resort and the property, the remediation company will return to the island and fully assess the damage during the week of October 14. After we meet with the remediator, we will provide you with more detail, but at this time, we can say the resort will be closed for some time.
We can also say that this will continue to be a collaborative effort. The All Seasons board, the on-site team, Vacatia, and the remediators will work tirelessly to reopen All Seasons as soon as possible.
More to come soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene, Florida’s Gulf Coast now faces the imminent threat of Hurricane Milton. If you live in the path of this major storm, we hope you and your loved ones have evacuated and are safe. Our thoughts are with you.
Over the past few days, we have closely monitored the situation and worked with our on-site contractors to lock down the property and minimize any further damage. Construction fences have been pulled up, debris has been removed, and all other precautionary measures have been taken, including, of course, the evacuation of anyone remaining on-site.
It is very likely that there will be no access to the islands and the resort for three to five days in the aftermath of Milton, which is expected to make landfall early Thursday morning. Once we are allowed access, we will assess the situation and report back to you. We have opened insurance claims, and had several on-site meetings scheduled with adjusters for this week. These meetings will be rescheduled, as the safety of our owners, staff, and construction partners is our top priority.
In the meantime, please call Vacatia’s Owner Services team at 855-859-6983 with any questions.
Please rest assured that we will work tirelessly with your board of directors to bring your resort back as soon as possible. We’ll be in touch again soon.
Thank you and stay safe.
