What does Playacar’s HOA actually scrutinize — and does it differ by phase?

Short answer: Phase I review focuses heavily on beachfront setback compliance, exterior materials tied
to salt-air durability, and rooflines that preserve neighbors’ water views. Phase II review focuses more
on golf-course sightlines — height limits and setbacks that protect fairway views.
Why it matters: Both phases fall under the same HOA, but a design package built for one phase’s
priorities usually needs real revision, not just relabeling, to pass review in the other.
What to check:

● Confirm which review priorities (beachfront vs. sightline) apply to your specific lot before
finalizing design
● Don’t reuse a design package from a different phase without dedicated review for your phase’s
standards
● Ask your architect for phase-specific HOA precedent, not general Playacar experience
Bottom line: “HOA-approved in Playacar” isn’t one standard — make sure your design was built for your
specific phase’s actual review priorities.
