Encore doesn’t let you choose your management company. That changes the entire math.
This is the community where I tell buyers to slow down before they fall in love with the amenities. The house might be right. The business model attached to it isn’t optional, and it isn’t cheap.
Talk Through EncoreGuest amenity access here runs through one of two approved management companies.
If you want your guests to actually use Encore’s resort amenities — the pool, the slides, the fitness center — you’re managed through one of two companies approved by the Encore Club: Jeeves, or LRR (which operates under the Rentyl Resorts brand). That’s the arrangement, and it isn’t something you can negotiate around. There’s no fee you can pay to unlock amenity access with an outside manager, and even the property owners’ association has asked the Club more than once to open access to other management companies. The Club has said no every time.
The one amenity available to every guest regardless of management company is the on-site restaurant. Everything else — pool, slides, fitness center — is gated behind the approved-manager requirement.
Both approved companies also take a meaningfully larger cut of revenue than what’s typical elsewhere in this corridor. That’s the real cost of Encore’s amenity package — not just the HOA line item, but the percentage that comes off every booking for as long as you own the property.
Most owners at Encore already operate outside the amenity system.
Here’s the detail that changes how most buyers think about this community: Jeeves and LRR together manage less than half of the homes here. The majority of owners have already made the same decision — sell the house itself, not the resort amenities, and keep more of the revenue by using a management company outside the approved two.
I have clients who bought well here and are doing fine, precisely because they went in with the real economics already understood. The buyers who struggle at Encore are almost always the ones who didn’t know about the management restriction until after closing, not the ones who bought at the wrong price.
Let’s understand the real management math before you make an offer.
Encore can work — I have clients who prove it. But the strategy only works if you know the management trade-off going in, not after.
