Sandpiper Resort is a resident-owned cooperative. Shareholders own shares in the co-op corporation, which owns the land. This gives you the right to occupy your lot and a vote in how the community is governed. Major decisions, including any potential sale of the property, require a two-thirds supermajority vote of all members. This means no outside entity can unilaterally purchase the park.

We have been a resident-owned community since 2003. Any major decisions such as a park sale would be subject to a two-thirds member vote, so no one entity can buy the park out from under us. Individual units do come up for sale from time to time — check our For Sale page for current listings.

A share in Sandpiper Resort Co-Op costs $25,000. This is in addition to the purchase price of the unit itself. The share purchase gives you membership in the cooperative with full voting rights and access to all community amenities.

The community has two types of residents: Shareholders (120 units) own a share in the co-op and lease their lot. Homeowners (46 units) own their home and lot outright. Both have access to all amenities and community activities. Governance rules differ slightly between the two groups as outlined in the bylaws.
