Section 1 — New here? Create your account

For members who received an invitation email, or anyone joining for the first time.

1

Check your email for your invitation

It comes from hoaboard@westshoreslake.com with the subject “You’re Invited to Join West Shores Lake.”

Make sure our emails reach you — add hoaboard@westshoreslake.com to your contacts, and if the invite landed in spam, mark it “Not Spam.”
Check your email for your invitation
A

Tap “Create My Account”

The button in the email takes you straight to the signup page for West Shores.

Tap “Create My Account”
B

Choose how you’ll sign in

Use Google or Apple if you have one — one tap, nothing new to remember. Email + password (6 characters minimum) works too.

Signing in with Apple? Leave “Share My Email” selected — that’s the default. Don’t switch to “Hide My Email” (Apple’s private relay): West Shores needs your real email to match your invitation and to reach you about dues and notices.

C

Enter your invite code

Type or paste the code from your email. The moment the full code is in, it checks itself and fills in your name, lot, and contact info automatically.

The code is doing the work — when you see “Invite code accepted,” your lot and details are already matched. Just confirm they look right.
Enter your invite code
D

Done — you’re pre-approved

Invited members skip the approval wait. Your dashboard is live immediately.

No invitation? Use the “Sign Up” link on westshoreslake.com instead — an administrator will approve your account, usually within a day.
Trouble with your code? Email support@mylakeaccess.com and include the email address your invite was sent to.

Section 2 — Sign in from your community website

Already set up? Here is the everyday way in.

1

Go to westshoreslake.com

Your community website is the front door for everything: news, events, documents, and your member account.

Go to westshoreslake.com
2

Open the menu and tap “Member Login”

On your phone it’s in the menu at the top right; on a computer it’s the button in the top corner.

Open the menu and tap “Member Login”
3

Sign in

Use Google or Apple if your email lives there (one tap, no password to remember), or your email and password.

If you’ve forgotten your password, tap “Forgot password” and check your email — the reset link arrives within a minute.

You’re in

You’ll land on your Member Dashboard — everything lives here:

Member Dashboard tour
  1. Account status — a summary of your account at a glance: your lot, your boats, and anything that needs attention.
  2. Boats — register any boats or watercraft that need a sticker. Add photos and insurance once; renewals and reminders happen automatically.
  3. Billing — see current and past invoices and pay any outstanding balance online. (Online payment is being connected now — your board will announce the moment it’s live.)
  4. Gate access — open any gates or locks your community has enabled on the platform.
  5. Quick actionsClubs: join or create a club. Events: RSVP for upcoming events. Local services: providers recommended by your neighbors — leave reviews and recommend your favorites. Requests: need something? Submit it here and your board will follow up.
Stuck? Email us at support@mylakeaccess.com — a real person answers.

Section 3 — What you can do once you’re in

The everyday stuff, from either the website or your dashboard.

1

Update your info

Two ways to get there once you’re signed in:

  • From the app — tap your name at the bottom of the sidebar (the card with your initials and lot number).
  • From the community website — tap your name in the top-right corner of westshoreslake.com, then choose My Profile.

Your profile (name, phone, directory preferences, notification settings) lives under Profile & Settings — including your lots.

To get back to the community website from the app, use Home — it takes you right back to westshoreslake.com.

Section 4 — Quick fixes

The three things that solve most problems.

1

Can’t sign in?

Try “Forgot password” first. Still stuck after a reset? Wait five minutes and try again — repeated attempts pause sign-in briefly for security.

2

Didn’t get an email?

Check spam/junk, then add hoaboard@westshoreslake.com to your contacts and ask your board to resend.

3

Something looks wrong?

A hard refresh fixes most display oddities: hold Shift and click reload on a computer, or close and reopen your browser on a phone.

Still stuck? support@mylakeaccess.com — include what you tapped and what you expected to happen.
