Sussex Place is Lely Resort at its most exclusive: a single quiet, low-density street of roughly 20 luxury homes along the private, Gary Player–designed Classics course. Built around 2006–2007 — and unlike Lely’s many attached-villa and coach-home enclaves — this is true single-family living: freestanding residences of about 2,225–2,668 square feet, typically three bedrooms with private pools and spas and golf or lake views over the Classics.
What sets the street apart from most Lely enclaves is its covenant — Players Club & Spa membership is required, so every owner enjoys the full sports-and-social campus of pools, tennis, fitness, spa and dining. The quarterly HOA is modest at about $1,100 (verify), but the mandatory membership adds a refundable deposit, annual dues and Florida tax on top (verify) — a trade-off worth weighing when you compare Players Club covenants.
Rentals run a 30-day minimum, and pets are welcome. Sussex Place suits the buyer who wants a quiet, low-density single-family street in a prestige Classics-side setting — and who treats a full resort membership as a feature, not an option.

Before closing: ask for Sussex Place’s latest budget, reserve study, and any planned special assessments — and confirm the Players Club covenant on the exact home.
Yes. Sussex Place carries the Amenities Covenant, so Players Club & Spa membership is mandatory for every home — there's no opting out, and the dues are part of your fixed cost of ownership here.
Players Club & Spa membership in Sussex Place runs about a $10,000 refundable deposit plus roughly $6,400 a year (+6% tax), on top of your HOA dues. Because membership is mandatory here, budget it as a fixed annual cost. Figures change — confirm current rates with the Club.
Roughly ~$1,100/quarter + Players Club dues — verify. HOA dues typically cover community maintenance and common areas (often landscaping), but usually do not include Players Club dues. Confirm the current amount and exactly what's covered for the specific home.

Yes — in Sussex Place, pets are allowed. The association sets the specifics (number, size, and sometimes breed), and rules change — confirm the current pet policy for the exact home.
Sussex Place generally doesn't have a separate private clubhouse — residents enjoy Lely Resort's shared amenities (the Players Club & Spa and the three golf courses). Confirm any small sub-association amenities for the specific home.
