Sara Shifflett is the Controller for Captain’s Cove Golf & Yacht Club and Treasurer of the Board of Directors. She joined the Captain’s Cove team in March 2022, bringing extensive experience in accounting and financial management. She has worked in accounting since 2007, earned her master’s degree in 2014, and has long had a passion for numbers. Sara oversees the Association’s finances, maintains accurate records, and helps manage resources responsibly to support both current community needs and long-term goals. To her, financial management goes beyond balancing the books—it helps homeowners gain the greatest value from their investment in the community.
While numbers may be her specialty, Sara’s favorite part of working at Captain’s Cove is something much simpler: the smiling faces of the homeowners. Having been familiar with Captain’s Cove since 2013, she was excited to join the team and see how the community had grown. Today, she takes pride in the continued improvements, expanded programs, and amenities that have developed during her time with the Association. She enjoys being part of a team that works to make Captain’s Cove a better place for its members, even if much of her own work happens behind the scenes, surrounded by spreadsheets and financial reports.
Originally from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Sara jokes that she found her way to the Eastern Shore after making a wrong turn. Outside of the office, Sara enjoys spending time with her family, especially cheering on her children at their sporting events. She is the proud mother of three sons, two dogs, and two cats, and Nana to a precious granddaughter. When she can find a little quiet time, she loves heading to the beach or simply being near the water. Between family, pets, and keeping Captain’s Cove’s finances in order, Sara’s life is rarely dull—and she wouldn’t have it any other way!
