Spinnaker Update - Ormond Beach

On a hot, summer day, there is no better place to be than relaxing by the pool or on the sand in Ormond Beach. This time of year, the pool deck and beach are full of families enjoying the sun and the waves. Justin and Stephanie are back this year and they are happy to help with your beach equipment rentals. Your Activities Team will be grilling on Tuesdays and Thursdays for hamburgers, hot dogs, or brats and look forward to seeing you.

We have a great new restaurant in the shopping center across the street. Solberry is a family-owned business that sources local ingredients for acai bowls, smoothies, and coffee. Make sure you try them out on your next visit with us!
We are excited to be celebrating Spinnaker Resort’s 40th year of providing “smooth sailing” vacations to our Owners. Read the section in this newsletter that discusses our growth over the past 40 years.

We look forward to welcoming you back to your home away from home and enjoying another memorable vacation with you!

Spinnaker Resorts 40th Anniversary

The entire Taylor family vacationed on Hilton Head in the late 70s as resort development commenced. Hilton Head’s appeal for the family was the many activities it offered: ocean and beach activities, tennis, cycling, inline skating and golf, all in a beautifully natural environment. Spinnaker Resorts was founded shortly after these initial family visits.

Over the past 40 years Spinnaker Resorts has built or acquired properties in four states. Starting with just 48 units in 1983, the company has grown to over 1100 units and 560+ employees.

2023 will be a year of joy as we celebrate. The Spinnaker family has always exceeded expectations set forth by its peers and 2023 is gearing up for the same results. We look forward to the next 40 years providing and exceeding the Gold Standard of service and support for our Owners and guests.

Celebrate 40 years of Spinnaker Resorts with us all year long
