The Tonopalo units do vary in size and there are several floor plans with either three (3) or four (4) bedroom layouts.

All units were set up with seven (7) ownership shares per unit. Eight (8) of the units are ground level and offer single floor living. The units located on the second level are two-story level units.

Owners are assessed individual annual property taxes and are real stakeholders in the property.

Owners have a double rotation system that alters the selection of weeks each year so that each owner has the opportunity to be the first one to select at some point in time.

The selection of weeks is also made twice a year, with every effort being made to accommodate everyone’s request.

Back-to-back weeks of use are possible, along with owners having the ability to use the “Space Available” program, which allows owners to use a unit within their eligible group of units if it is available for the cost of a cleaning charge.
