Twelve Oaks

No — it's optional. Twelve Oaks carries the Non-Amenities Covenant, so you can join the Players Club & Spa for full resort access or skip it to save the cost. Verify the covenant on any specific home.

If you choose to join (it's optional in Twelve Oaks), the Players Club & Spa runs about a $10,000 refundable deposit plus roughly $6,400 a year (+6% tax). Skip it and you avoid that cost entirely. Figures change — confirm current rates with the Club.

Roughly ~$793/quarter — 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.

In Twelve Oaks, the association allows 30-day minimum, ~3 leases/yr. That sets the minimum lease length and how many times per year you can lease — important for rental or seasonal use. Rules change, so confirm the current limits for the exact home.

Yes — in Twelve Oaks, pets are allowed with approval. The association sets the specifics (number, size, and sometimes breed), and rules change — confirm the current pet policy for the exact home.

Yes. Twelve Oaks has its own community pool & tennis, on top of the resort-wide Players Club & Spa and Lely's three golf courses.

The Players Club & Spa is centrally located within Lely Resort, so from Twelve Oaks it's a few minutes by car or golf cart. Most of the community is within roughly a mile or two of the club.

Homes in Twelve Oaks have recently sold around $180K (about $180/sq ft). Inventory is limited and changes constantly — ask for a live Twelve Oaks report.

No. Twelve Oaks, like all of Lely Resort, is an all-ages community — it is not age-restricted. Homes here serve full-time, seasonal, and rental use.

Recently, Twelve Oaks homes have sold in a median of 40 days at about 97% of list price — roughly 3% negotiating room. These numbers shift constantly, so ask me for this week's read before you make a move.

Twelve Oaks homes date to 1991 (about 35 years old). At that age, look closely at the A/C (12–15-yr life), water heater (10–12-yr), and roof, and ask for the permit history.

Budget carefully. Twelve Oaks predates the 2002 Florida Building Code, so get a wind-mitigation inspection — updated roofs and impact openings can sharply lower premiums.
