President’s Message December 2025

Hello Seven Isles Residents! I hope the start of the holiday season for you and your family has been joyful. All the merry lights strung up along Las Olas, the Menorah Lighting and the Boat Parade just make the Season feel so special. And our community is truly in the center of it all, a very special neighborhood made up of outstanding member families and residents who understand that community safety means a bit more peace of mind in our busy daily lives. Our “Don’t Forget Your Fob” campaign, our “This is a Community Watch Neighborhood” campaign and our 24 hour security contribute to the increased property values here. I thank all of our families that continue to maintain your membership in the Seven Isles Homeowner’s Association.

The Las Olas Isles area, including Harbor Beach and Rio Vista, saw an uptick in vehicle theft, attempted vehicle theft, and home invasion these past few months. As a neighborhood association we have a vital interest in being proactive…and our Board continues to discuss ways of accomplishing that in meaningful ways. However, out of the approximate 303 parcels in
Seven Isles, we have only about 200 homes that have joined our HOA. For example, Castilla Isles has 17 homes that have failed to join the HOA to provide for our neighborhood’s collective security. Barcelona Drive has 15 homes that have failed to join and Sea Island has 14 homes that have failed to join our HOA. Aqua Vista has at least 9 homes that are not members. Delmar Place has at least 11 homes that refuse to become members. In spite of our extensive outreach, and in spite of the fact that our HOA funded security is a contributing factor to an increase in our property values and desirability, we cannot seem to capture any of these families to help defray our expenses. Thank you for all who have paid in full, and If you do have an outstanding balance for 2025, kindly remit payment as soon as possible so that we can close our 2025 books.

We are faced with ever increasing costs to provide the same level of service to our members, The Board would like to expand our neighborhood security by adding additional cameras, etc., Many residents indicate they want more, and we want to provide more, but we are faced with apathy from homeowners who simply either believe that costs will be borne by others, or they don’t “need” community security because they have their own security cameras, or they aren’t here “enough” to justify being a part of our community, or they are developers who enjoy the profits from building and selling here but care not to help us underwrite the costs. And it is certainly not that they have told us that our costs are too high to join.

With that in mind, our HOA has no choice this year but to slightly raise our 2026 dues by $200. Our 2026 HOA dues are $1600 with an early pay discount to $1400 if payment is made in full by January 31. 2026. Thank you all for sending in your payments!

The 2026 Annual HOA Meeting has been scheduled for February 5, 2026 at All Saints Church. More information will be forthcoming, but kindly mark your calendars as it will be here before you know it!

On behalf of myself and our entire Board, I wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. Wishing you Peace, Love, Joy and Prosperity as we usher in 2026.

Warmest Regards,

Robyn Lefcourt
President, Seven Isles HOA
