Gold Canyon Golf Resort Vacation Villas

What Gold Canyon Golf Resort Vacation Villas's governing documents say

This document creates a timeshare (interval ownership) regime for Gold Canyon Golf Resort Vacation Villas in Gold Canyon, Arizona. You do not own a whole home; instead you purchase an undivided fractional interest in a Vacation Villa, giving you the right to reserve a set number of nights each year (usually 7 per undivided interest) using a Points-based reservation system. The property is part of the Gold Canyon Golf Resort, and owners also have access to resort amenities (golf, etc.) but the document does not detail those separately. The regime is managed by the Gold Canyon Golf Resort Vacation Villas Owners’ Association (VOA), and owners must follow the declaration, bylaws, and rules.

• Ownership & occupancy structure: You buy an 'Undivided Ownership Interest' (UDI) in a Vacation Villa or group of Villas, which is a fractional fee-simple interest as a tenant in common. Each UDI entitles you to seven consecutive nights of occupancy per year (for Annual Owners) or every other year (for Alternate Year Owners). Occupancy is reserved through a Points-based system: each Villa and season (Platinum weeks 1–20 & 42–52; Gold weeks 21–41) has a Point value. Your specific occupancy rights depend on your Point allocation. The VOA also sets aside a Maintenance Period of 7 days per Villa per year for repairs.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease or exchange their reserved Use Period, but only on a written form that requires the lessee to comply with the declaration, bylaws, and rules. The VOA may adopt further restrictions on leasing. Short-term rentals (less than 7 nights) are not explicitly prohibited, but the occupancy system is based on 7-night blocks.
• Use restrictions & alterations: Vacation Villas may be used only for transient residential purposes. No structural alterations, exterior changes, or hanging of items outside are allowed by owners. All furniture, furnishings, and appliances within Villas are owned and maintained by the VOA, not by individual owners. Owners must keep the Villa in good condition during their stay and vacate by 10:00 am on checkout day.
• Fees & assessments: Owners pay Common Expenses (VOA assessments) based on their Unit Occupancy Designation (e.g., studio, one-bedroom) — all owners of the same type pay the same share, regardless of features or season. There is an initial $300 transfer fee for resales (adjusted for CPI). Holdover occupants (staying past their period) are charged a minimum $200 per day administrative fee plus costs for alternate accommodations for displaced owners.
• Pet policy: The document does not mention any specific pet restrictions. Pets would be governed by the VOA's Rules and Regulations (attached as Exhibit E, not provided here).
• Reservation system & exchange: Owners reserve a Villa of their Unit Type on a first-received, first-served basis using their allocated Points. The initial reservation system rules are in Exhibit D (not included). Owners may also use an external exchange program (initially Interval International) to swap their time for stays elsewhere. Owners delinquent on assessments cannot make reservations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full Rules and Regulations (Exhibit E), the complete Reservation System Rules and Procedures (Exhibit D), or details about the underlying condo declarations (Condo I and II) that also apply to the property. Specific amenities (golf course, pools, etc.) are not described in detail here. Age restrictions, if any, are not stated.
