Colebrook Financial Announces Hypothecation Loan for Caribbean Resort

Colebrook Financial Company, a leading lender to the timeshare and travel club industries, has provided a $5 million hypothecation loan to  Oyster Bay Resort and Coral Beach Resort, located in in the Dutch section of Saint Martin/Sint Marteen.

According to Bill Ryczek, Principal/Colebrook Financial,   “We’ve been familiar with the Oyster Bay property for many years and are delighted to have the opportunity to provide financing to Mike Dolente and Josh Gold.  They’re a rare breed—financiers who’ve become very successful developers.  Oyster Bay and Coral Beach are beautiful properties, and the operation is first class.”

Oyster Bay principals Gold and  Dolente have been the developers of Oyster Bay since 2003. Its adjacent sister property, Coral Beach Club, offers a luxury Vacation Ownership Program and a Preferred Membership with Interval International.

Josh Gold said, “Our closing went exceptionally smoothly and we look forward to doing more fundings (with Colebrook) in the future.” 

Colebrook is a pioneer in many forms of financing and began working with club products before most lenders. Few competitors can match their longevity in the industry. They enjoy a  reputation for adapting to new situations more quickly than larger institutions.
