Yeah, homeowner's associations have gotten out of hand. We're buying a beach house near Folly Beach in SC and while looking around we've seen mild to wild on covenants and restrictions (and dues!). Some of my favorites were 'no vehicles taller than 75" in an open driveway', 'no motorcycles', 'no furniture on front porch', etc... Then the dues, holy poo poo - there was one that was like $600/mo and it was basically a glorified zero-lot-line that you had to maintain the exterior on.

My parents bought a house in Folly last fall. I believe there are no HOAs in Folly, but the town itself has a few things, largely focused on property expansion/additions.

Folly Beach is great. Prices keep going up though

Nice! The condos that are one bridge out, and then when you get out by the Harris Teeter have exorbitant HOA's. I think you're right though, if you have a stand-alone on the island, there aren't HOA's. We're actually looking at a development called Meridian that's up closer to the James County Park, still only like 10 min to Folly, 15 to Charleston.

Ohhhhh. Yeah, I about choked when I saw the fees for the condos. I know where you're talking about. Wouldn't take long for those fees to add up to house payments on a stand alone on Folly itself. ;)

I'm really glad my cruise control works at 30 mph, the Folly police are often bored and camp the speed change at the bridge.
