Living in Magnolia Cottages
Magnolia Cottages by the Sea lines Patina Boulevard north of County Road 30A in Walton County, and the county's address records give its streets an Inlet Beach mailing address. Its other addresses are on Morgan, Olivia, Vinings, Kareny, Vizcaya, Blackwater, Wisteria, Creek Park and Canopy Lanes. County staff placed the Phase 2 plat about a quarter mile north of 30A along Patina Boulevard, and environmental reviewers put that phase east of Camp Creek. A 2017 county report on a Phase 2 lot gives the location as the north side of 30A at Seacrest.
The first plat, Plat Book 15, page 49, replatted at page 71, holds the 63 house lots of Blocks A and B. County reports on the Phase 2 plat and a 2017 replat within it say that phase was originally approved as part of the Magnolia Cottages by the Sea planned unit development. Both cite an original development order, No. 1456, approved for 118 residential units. A July 2005 development order approved Phase II for 38 single-family lots on a parcel of about 19.76 acres, and the Phase 2 plat was recorded on July 13, 2016. An August 30, 2018 staff report to the county commission describes a request to plat Phase 2A as 25 single-family units on about 5.06 acres, on a site it says was earlier approved to reconfigure 37 lots with a reforestation plan.
Lots in Blocks A and B mostly record 4,100 to 5,000 square feet of land, and 14 larger ones range up to about 11,700. Their houses mostly record about 1,300 to 1,850 square feet of living area. In Blocks C, D and E, a majority of lots record exactly 4,965 square feet. A 2017 county review of a Phase 2 lot names Regional Utilities as its water and sewer provider.
On the county roll, Magnolia Owners Association is the listed owner of a parcel numbered in series with the original plat's lots and described as "all streets, common areas and limited common areas as shown on the plat." The common-area parcels in the Phase 2 and 2A series name Creek Park Owners Association. The Phase 2 plat maps preservation areas, and a 2017 county replat report records one lot's front deck built into its front setback and front preservation area. Before planning a deck, pool or addition, check the recorded plat for a preservation area on the lot, and ask whether any recorded covenants limit the work.

Local Answers
Magnolia Cottages FAQ
What is the difference between Magnolia Owners Association and Creek Park Owners Association in Magnolia Cottages by the Sea?
On the county property roll, each is the listed owner of different common-area parcels. Magnolia Owners Association is listed on the two common-area parcels numbered in series with Blocks A and B, the original plat, one of them with a co-owner. Creek Park Owners Association is listed on the common-area parcels that share a number series with Blocks C, D and E, the lots of the two later plats. The roll does not show whether a given house belongs to either association, so ask the seller or closing agent whether any recorded declaration or covenants cover the lot and which association, if any, they name.
Is Patina Boulevard in Inlet Beach a private road?
County public works reviewers, commenting on the Phase 2 plat in 2015, called it a private right of way and asked the applicant for proof of ingress and egress along it through the earlier Magnolia Cottages by the Sea plats. The county roll separately lists streets and roads shown on the plats under the two owners associations, without naming Patina Boulevard. For who maintains the pavement, ask for the recorded plats and any recorded covenants before closing.
What flood zones do the county's Phase 2 and 2A plat reports show for Magnolia Cottages by the Sea?
The county's July 2016 staff report on the Phase 2 plat includes a flood-zone map of that site labeled Zone X and Zone A, drawn from flood map data published in September 2010. The August 2018 report on the Phase 2A plat lists that site's current flood zone as Zone X. Emergency reviewers wrote in both reports that the project appears to be in Evacuation Zone B. Phase 2 reviewers also asked that the plat label minimum finished floor elevations, and a June 2016 update says their comments were included on the final plat, so check the recorded Phase 2 plat for a lot's labeled elevation.
Which part of Magnolia Cottages by the Sea has the newer houses?
The houses in Blocks C, D and E, the lots of the Phase 2 and 2A plats. On the state parcel roll, every house there carries a build year from 2017 to 2023, most of them 2019 or 2020, and their addresses are on Canopy Lane or run from 499 to 973 Patina Boulevard. In Blocks A and B, the original plat, 60 houses date from 2004 through 2007, one from 2013 and one from 2021. The later houses are larger as well, with 34 of the 37 recording about 1,900 to 2,350 square feet of living area.
