A guest is considered someone who does not live in Braxton Village. Access to the pool/recreation facilities is permitted to households in good standing. Households are not considered in good standing if their HOA account is delinquent and not paid in full or if a member of the household has had his/her pool privileges denied due to pool infraction deemed by the HOA.
