Hurricane Helene Update 10/3/2024

Temporary Closure & Reservation Cancellations

Greetings to our valued owners,

Hurricane Helene produced a storm surge in the Treasure Island area that caused extensive damage to the ground floor common areas and disrupted operations at Sand Pebble Resort. The devastation is being described as a “war zone” with damages to buildings and infrastructure all along Gulf Blvd. 

The local authorities did not grant entry access to business owners until late Saturday afternoon. We immediately responded with our on-site team led by Jo-Ann McNew, a Capital Vacations task force led by Bob Gaul, and BMS-CAT, a remediation contractor.

The destruction, as evidenced by the photos, has led us to declare the resort closed until November 1, 2024, at the earliest. The power has just been restored, water remains off, the elevator pits have salt water, and the pool equipment is destroyed. We will monitor the cleanup and prep required for reopening before determining when the conditions are safe and suitable for occupancy. Even after we reopen, there may be ground floor amenities not available.

All owner, exchange, and rental guests for weeks 39-43 have been notified by Capital Vacations. Should you have any questions, please do not attempt to call the resort directly. Our informed agents are available at 833-715-0161. The Board of Directors is scheduled to meet in November and will discuss how best to address the displaced owners.

Please keep all in your thoughts, especially our onsite team and those who have lost their lives or have been displaced from their home.

We will provide updates in the coming days and weeks.

Respectfully,
Sand Pebble Resort
