de la Bahia Waterfront Condos de la Bahia Waterfront Condos

The de la Bahia condominium complex is made up of 303 residences, 231 docks, a pool, a clubhouse, shuffleboard courts, and a yacht club for the residents. The marina is for the use of residents only, and for those condos that don’t have a deeded dock, there are vacant ones available for use.  Rental charges for the use of docks are not allowed, so there won’t be any charges.

There’s a very active winter season, which normally includes two dinner dances a month, golf and bowling leagues, bingo, euchre, bridge, exercise class, knitting & stitching. The pool is heated and is a great place to meet people, swim, sunbathe, or even join in playing a board game of your choice. And the library has a good selection of books to read if you prefer to enjoy a quiet peaceful afternoon.

de la Bahia Waterfront Condos

The Yacht Club has monthly meetings with a guest speaker, raft-ups, picnics, luncheon cruises, gambling cruises, two socials, and for the last few years has sponsored a 3 to 5 day cruise in January. Membership is open to de la Bahia renters and owners only, boat ownership is not required and dues are very reasonable.
