Canals are No Wake zones to protect our bulkheads. The area from the bulkhead out 15’ is a protected marsh area with required maintenance by the property owner of the Intertidal Fringe Marsh. No rock or removal of the grass is allowed. The Nature Society has a special website with the Preserves history.  www.laffitescovenaturesociety.org.  

 

 

The Pirates’ POA (“PPOA”) includes areas in Pirates Beach, Pirates Beach West, Pirates Cove, and Pirates Landing.  Funds collected from Laffites Cove pay for security patrol & cameras.  Funds collected by PPOA from Laffites owners for ARC permits go into PPOA treasury. 

 

 

 The Villas

As an owner in Pirates Cove, Section 6 of Pirates Beach, block A, B, & C in the “The Villas” you will pay assessments into the PPOA, the LCPOA, and the LCNS.  Your subdivision is The Villas, not Laffites Cove. LCPOA maintains the common areas of landscaping in The Villas and mows from The Villas private Lane to Stewart Rd and across Stewart Rd to give a manicured appearance.  The Villas Association has not been formed at this time and has no assessments, but does have restrictions which are enforced by the PPOA. The private lane is the responsibility of the owners.
