LOL yes we have rules but the board doesn't want to be the babysitters of the home owners. I'm the bad girl here because I'm the only one that enforces rules. They can have 5 guest per household, they drink and smoke around the pool. But if allowed to have large groups, it would hinder someone going to pool and wanting relax at their pool because of guests non-residents. I think here it's up to the Assoc. about alcohol and smoking. Like I said this pool is small, a modified bird bath really. They say it's 20X40 but it looks smaller to me.
Here are our pool rules, plus State mandated signs are up.
