In the last 5 years the resort went through difficult time. It was originally built in 1965, and then the 5th floor was added in 1974. The Association tried to keep up with preventive maintenance, and as a result the Maintenance fee in the resort was usually higher than in other condo-hotels, but the age is something you can't fight. The time came when they needed to do major concrete restoration, consisting of replacement of balconies and partial replacement of concrete in walkways. It came at a time when the values were on decline, which made it very difficult for the owners. Special assessments one after another in lump sums and installments, high default rate, people were walking away from their units. There was a moment when we did not know whether the Condo-hotel could even surviv... 05/15/2012

It is time for a market update for Hawaiian Inn in Daytona Beach Shores. Hawaiian Inn, built in 1965, is one of most popular Daytona Beach Shores vacation places, and always enjoyed great loyalty from vacationers. The resort turned condo-hotel in the very end of the 90s. Developer was on a tight budget, and to maintain the property in decent shape, they always had higher than average maintenance fee, but avoided those Special Assessments. But time was taking its toll, and the need for major concrete work was becoming a necessity. And a Special Assessment was unavoidable. The problem was compounded by weakening economy, and there were concerns that non-paying owners cold drag the Association into bankruptcy. Whether a miracle or not, but the fact is that they were able to overcome the to... 09/30/2011

After nearly two years of repairs, Hawaiian Inn, a popular family-oriented condo-hotel in Daytona Beach Shores, is nearly completed. You can still see a half-dozen boarded rooms, but this is simply because the Special Assessments did not include paying for glass doors to the balcony, and the cost to do it varies from roughly $4K to $5.1K depending on the size. Other than that they are done with the repairs and a huge sigh of relief for everyone who are involved with Hawaiian Inn. They had to do this major work i the worst time in terms of economy, and there was a danger of people not paying and thus sabotaging the work. There were a lot of those who did not believe they would make it. But they did, and now they are good for the next 35-45 years.     Of course, at the deepest point of co... 06/05/2011
