Sea Club V sustained significant damage from Hurricane Helene. Unfortunately, saltwater entered all first-floor units, and the A/C units behind the buildings were submerged in salt water, with some displaced from their bases. The spa and pool have also filled with sand and saltwater, and efforts to remove approximately three feet of sand from the parking lots are underway.

We are working closely with our Public Adjuster and Insurance Company to ensure as much is covered as possible. The remediation cleanup work is done and we are now working to hire a contractor to start the remodel phase. A schedule will be completed in the coming weeks.

We encourage all owners to contact the office and ensure we have your email address in our system. Updates are going out regularly via email.
We also created a YouTube page with videos and shorts showing the damage and progress. This can be accessed in the link below.

We Are Open-- A Message of Gratitude, Dedication, and Success

April 21st, 2025
With immense pride and heartfelt gratitude, we are thrilled to announce that as of April 19th, 2025, we have officially reopened the final unit in the South Building. This milestone marks a powerful moment in our journey—a symbol of resilience, teamwork, and unwavering dedication.

While we still have a few finishing touches ahead—landscaping, grill coverings, accordion doors in some units, the boardwalk, and minor details in a few units—we have come so far in such a short time. Just seven months ago, on September 26th, 2024, Hurricane Helene struck us, followed closely by Milton just ten days later. The road has not been easy, but the results speak volumes.

While many other properties are still waiting on permits, or have yet to hang a single piece of drywall, our Sea Club V community stands tall. Just down the way, 82 units at Jamaica Royale sit gutted, and some properties are even contemplating demolition. But we didn’t just rebuild—we came back stronger. This success is not just about construction—it’s about heart, grit, and the incredible people who made it happen.

I’ve said it before, and it deserves to be said again: this achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our entire team—from Management and Resort Staff to Maintenance, from Housekeeping to the Board of Directors. Everyone went above and beyond their roles. Some worked long hours, others gave up time with family, and many stepped into unfamiliar tasks with grace and determination. In this final stretch, it was all hands on deck—and we crossed the finish line together.

As you return to Sea Club V, or see updates on Facebook, please take a moment to thank those who brought us here. Every smiling staff member you see, every clean room you walk into, and every detail restored—these are all reflections of their tireless work and love for this place. They are not just staff—they are family.

To you, our amazing owners—thank you. Your patience, encouragement, and generosity helped lift our spirits through the most difficult days. From your kind messages to the gift cards and meals sent to our team, you reminded us that we are more than a vacation spot—we are a community. You gave us grace during your own inconveniences, and that made all the difference.

We look forward to welcoming you back home—to a place built not just with tools, but with heart.
Thank you, everyone—from the bottom of our hearts.
Together, we are Sea Club V. Stronger than ever.

Hurricane Helene Recovery: A Message of Strength and Unity

October 8th, 2024


Dear Sea Club V Family,

As you are all aware, Hurricane Helene recently brought significant flooding to our beloved property, impacting every one of our Owner Units to some degree.

This event affected much more than just the units themselves—it also took a toll on the essential equipment that keeps Sea Club V running smoothly: the AC condensers, boilers, spa, pool equipment, and laundry facilities.
