At Twin Oaks, your HOA contribution does far more than cover maintenance; it provides access to The Resort-Style Cannery Club, a professionally managed lifestyle destination that blends fitness, connection, classes, presenters, events, nutrition, wellness, socials, learning, and leisure into a daily experience, evoking the feel of a boutique resort. Here, your dues directly support a vibrant community curated with regular activity and a welcoming space, designed for your enjoyment and enrichment.
Programming Beyond Physical Spaces
When considering a 55+ community, it's important to understand what's included. Access to amenity spaces is only the beginning. A beautiful facility without good programming is a wasted opportunity.
Life at The Cannery Club mirrors the principles found in the world’s Blue Zones—regions where people live longer, healthier, and happier lives. These principles are woven into daily life at Twin Oaks:
Proximity and Accessibility
How easy is it to access amenities from your home? Because Twin Oaks comprises just 168 homes, all are within a short stroll of the Cannery Club.
Unlike a public fitness or social club, a private club in a 55+ community isn’t run for profit—it’s run for you. That means residents enjoy luxury amenities, engaging programs, and social experiences curated for their lifestyle, all at a low break-even cost. It’s about creating a vibrant community where every offering enriches daily life.
While volunteer-led committees often begin with enthusiasm, history shows they struggle with conflicts, burnout, inconsistent programming, and underfunded maintenance—all of which can lead to declining property values and diminish the resident experience. Professional club management is essential to a high-value and enriching experience for residents. Though many smaller communities "go it alone," Twin Oaks uses a respected national resort management organization, Blue Star Resort & Golf.
A dedicated club manager or lifestyle director along with the administrative and organizational support provided by a management company like Blue Star Resort & Golf, ensures that daily operations, including class schedules, maintenance, cleaning, and special events, receive maximum care and attention. They coordinate activities, manage reservations for events, and ensure even-handed treatment of residents. They oversee impeccable facility upkeep so that every space is maintained to luxury standards and always ready when you are. Residents receive monthly lifestyle highlights through The View newsletter and the online Club Hub scheduling and messaging portal, helping them stay connected to opportunities and experiences that match their interests.
Many 55+ homebuyers are downsizing from larger residences and "outsource" many amenities to their community Club. The Cannery Club offers these 'extra spaces' you no longer maintain at home—always available, always cared for. Physical amenities include a Junior Olympic-size swimming pool, sports courts including pickleball and bocce, a self-service pet spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, teaching kitchen, catering kitchen (for parties and events), private beverage lockers, and social gathering spaces.
The HOA fees cover access to all of these luxurious facilities, plus common area landscaping, insurance, and property and facility upkeep. As an extension of the homes at Twin Oaks, the Cannery Club supports residents' resort lifestyle with spaces for small group activities like cards, bunco, football watch partie, and outdoor movies. Resident-led clubs enjoy access to the Club spaces for their meetings and activities, including a Book Club and Art Class.
The Cannery Club enriches residents' daily lives with small luxuries, including free coffee service and free WiFi in a beautiful, comfortable environment. The club features a regular schedule of live music events and excursions that enable residents to effortlessly enjoy the beauty of the Central Coast region, including stunning Pinnacles National Park and the extraordinary Monterey Bay Area. Many activities bring residents exclusive experiences along the San Benito Wine Trail.
For those ready to trade home maintenance for community engagement, yard work for yoga, and isolation for connection, Twin Oaks offers compelling value: the opportunity to live with intention, surrounded by beauty, and supported by a community that shares the commitment to making the most of every day.
When evaluating HOA fees and amenities in any 55+ community, look beyond the monthly dollar amount to understand the complete value proposition. Consider common area coverage, programming quality, professional management, and proximity to your home. Most importantly, assess whether the amenities align with your lifestyle goals and provide genuine opportunities for the health, wellness, and social connection that make these communities so appealing. The right amenity package isn't just about what you're paying for—it's about investing in the life you want to live.
