Colores Electrostatic Painting will be sandblasting and painting the gate to improve its durability and appearance. During this time, you need to use the south side entrance, YCP employees are available to help if needed.

• Residents with RFID access can enter by heading south to the valet ramp, where the gate will open automatically.
• To exit, it is recommended to use the valet ramp on the south side, where a staff member will be there to verify your unit number and vehicle before opening the gate.

Valet service is available for residents, guests, and visitors. The entry procedures remain the same, if you’d prefer a quicker pickup, you can use the VIP Parker app to call your car, as wait times for valet service may be slightly longer. Vehicles will be brought down to the south end gate and can be retrieved at the Deli.

Primarily, the first installment of the elevator assessment was due on April 1st.  Don’t miss the day because all payments received after the 10^{th of} April will accrue a late fee and interest charge.

Another project took place in the Yacht Club at Portofino. If you own a scooter or motorcycle the maintenance manager and his team has begun the washing and repainting of the scooter and motorcycle parking area on the second and third floor! Every owner of a motorized vehicle may receive an email instructing you to move your registered scooter or motorcycle to a designated area while your assigned scooter space is repainted. We hope that you will enjoy your future new repainted parking space!

The front desk team has received a lot of requests to hold keys for realtors, guests, contractors, or other reasons. None of them are acceptable to the front desk. Each tenant needs to coordinate on their own, due to liability concerns.

Lastly, the real estate market in your Yacht Club at Portofino is awesome, not many units are for sale and a lot of them are only available for seasonal rent. The most affordable one-bedroom condo for sale is listed at $699,000 and the only two-bedroom for sale is listed at $1,045,000.
