Hipster Condo Owners Required to Keep Personal Beach Cabanas Clutter-Free

Cabanapic Cabanas, prime real estate for the hip set in boutique hotels such as the Delano in Miami and the W in Los Angeles, are the latest hot extra at condominium projects in South Florida.  Cabana ownership comes with restrictions though, including a requirement to maintain them clutter-free:

"[The association] lists guidelines [for] cabana neatness: Pathways leading up to cabana entrances have to be clutter-free and spaces that can be seen from the outside should be kept tidy, too. Condo associations can issue a fine or reprimand if a cabana owner flouts the rules."

Read Cheryl Lu-lien Tan’s Wall Street Journal article, "The new IN thing:  Personal poolside cabanas at your condo" in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinal.

    these folks definately have the cash to tell someone else to pick up the clutter! South beach is great, but if I am going to buy at the beach, I dont want cabana neighbors!
    Should we start fining folks for more than one car in the driveway? hmmmm….

    Hi Scott — the whole point is that you are buying a cabana to be seen, and have your own “private” space at the beach. For some, it’s important. They are priced well, but you can’t sleep in there at night.
