River Isles, a premier community for vibrant adults 55+, is located just minutes from I-75, the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, Gulf of Mexico beaches, and many attractions. This deed-restricted community of well-maintained, single-family homes is located along the Braden River. Our quiet streets are suitable for leisurely walks and a warm wave to a neighbor. With an executive nine-hole golf course (riverislesgolfclub.com), River Isles has something for everyone.

 

River Isles is a Bradenton Police Certified Neighborhood Watch Community, as well as a Volunteer Security Patrol Program. 

 

Again....Welcome!

 

The following Amendments to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions of the River Isles Homeowners Association were adopted by the membership at their meeting on January 10, 2023:   Article II   Section 2.15. Leasing. No Owner may rent out their home for the first two (2) years of ownership from the date the Owner takes title in deed or other instrument recorded in the Public Records of Manatee County, Florida. After that two (2) year period, no home in River Isles shall be rented or leased more than one (1) time during each calendar year. “Rental” of home is defined as occupancy of the home by any person other than the Owner, whether pursuant to verbal or written agreement, where said occupancy by the non-owner involves consideration (the payment of money, the exchange of goods or services, or any other exchange of value). No more than two (2) persons per bedroom shall be allowed to occupy a home. Any occupancy of a Lot in excess of thirty (30) days shall be deeded a “Rental”, whether or not any consideration is exchanged, and such occupant must submit to the Association’s approval process.  All rental agreements must be in writing and must be submitted to the Board for approval. Owners shall furnish the Association with a copy of the proposed rental agreement and the name of the proposed tenant, as well as all proposed Occupants. Any additional Occupants seeking to live in the home after initial approval shall be subject to a separate application and approval process. The Association shall give the Owner notice of its decision in writing or via email. Owners may not rent out individual rooms in their homes or allow tenants to sublease their home once rented out. Rental agreements may be renewed only upon prior Board approval. An inherited property are subject to these guidelines. The Board or its assigns reserve the right to adopt application fees application forms and procedures for the interview and approval of all tenants.     Article III -NEW COVENANT-   Section 3.7.     Pursuant to those powers and responsibilities, the Association has created the assessment of a capital contribution fee upon each Lot purchased after the date of recording of this amendment (the “Capital Improvement Assessment”). The Capital Improvement Assessment shall be collected at closing as a prerequisite to the transaction being approved by the Association, and will be included in a requested Estoppel Certificate and on the Lot’s ledger. The amount of the Capital Improvement Assessment shall be initially assessed at $2,000 per Lot, which shall be placed into the Association’s reserves for capital expenditures and/or deferred maintenance at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Capital Improvement Assessment amount can be adjusted each year by the Board of Directors and submitted to the membership for approval.  An inherited property is exempt from this Capital Improvement Assessment.
