Official notices and legal papers go to the registered agent, the association's legal contact on file with the state.
Day-to-day requests (condo questionnaires, estoppel certificates, insurance certificates, move-ins, rental approval) go to the management company, which may be a different firm from the agent. Ask the front desk, the board or the unit owner which company manages Villas by the Sea 3, and check its license with the DBPR licensee search.
Confirm the current record on Sunbiz's document-number search (enter N06000006088): the state's bulk file can lag its website and abbreviates long addresses.

Good to know
Villas by the Sea 3: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Villas by the Sea 3 condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Vbs Condominium Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA69457) as the managing entity for Villas by the Sea 3, DBPR project no. PR74510. The state's spelling is "VBS CONDO ASSN INC".
How many units does Villas by the Sea 3 have?
DBPR records 21 units for Villas by the Sea 3 at 4444 El Mar Drive, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. That makes it the 16th-largest of the 17 registered condominiums with 20 or more units in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
When was Villas by the Sea 3 established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded on August 26, 2009, according to DBPR. About 88% of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's registered condominiums with 20+ units were recorded in an earlier year. A recorded date marks when the building became a condominium, which is not necessarily when it was built.
How do I contact the Villas by the Sea 3 association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) records VBS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. (document no. N06000006088) as active, file checked October 30, 2026. Its principal address of record is 4456 EL MAR DRIVE, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33308, and its mailing address is C/O KW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING, 8200 NW 33RD STREET, SUITE 300, MIAMI, FL 33122. The registered agent, the association's legal contact for official notices, is Eisinger Dennis JEsquire (Hollywood, FL). Day-to-day requests such as condo questionnaires, estoppel certificates and insurance certificates go to the management company, which may be a different firm; ask the front desk, the board or the unit owner which company manages Villas by the Sea 3. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not the association, so we can't pass requests on to it.
I'm a lender or title company. Who completes the condo questionnaire and provides the insurance certificate?
The association or its management company — not Miami Condo HQ. We are an independent research website with no access to Vbs Condominium Association, Inc.'s records, so we can't complete condo questionnaires, issue estoppel certificates or supply master insurance policies. Ask the unit owner or the building for the current property manager, or look up the association's registered agent and principal address in Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz).
Does Villas by the Sea 3 need a milestone inspection or a structural integrity reserve study?
Florida's 2022 condominium safety law (SB 4-D, amended since) requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many condominium buildings, depending on height, age and distance from the coast. DBPR's register does not say whether Villas by the Sea 3 has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
