About Breakers East

At 1010 East Highway 98 in Destin, the county roll holds 72 residential condominium parcels for Breakers East, each carrying a construction year of 1982. The state's condominium registry matches that count: Breakers East, A Condominium, 72 units, recorded February 22, 1982, with Breakers East Owners Association, Inc. as managing entity.

Unit numbers come in groups of six per level: 101 through 106, 201 through 206, and on up to 1201 through 1206. The property roll gives all 72 homes the same 1,453 square feet of living area, which reads as one floor plan repeated rather than a mix of sizes. No story count appears in these records, so the page does not offer one.

The site sits inside the Destin city limits and, on the city's planning map, in the Gulf Resort Mixed Use district. Federal flood mapping cuts the shared outline four ways: about two fifths in Zone VE at a base flood elevation of 16 feet, about half in the 0.2 percent annual chance band of Zone X, a few percent in Zone AO, and the remainder in minimal-hazard Zone X. That describes the property outline, not any one unit's elevation or insurance terms.

Counting 30 years from a 1982 start puts the milestone mark around 2012, so the statute's first-inspection date for Breakers East, if it applies, was before December 31, 2024. Application turns on height: the statute reaches condominiums standing three or more habitable stories, and unit numbers up to 1206 point that way without proving it. The date the building was first certified for use is not in these records, so ask the association for the phase one report, any phase two findings and the repairs that followed.

Florida's condominium registry gives the project's managing entity as Breakers East Owners Association, Inc. No document loaded for this page states what the association's dues cover, how shared costs are divided, or what the recorded declaration restricts, so those answers belong to the declaration and the current budget. For a building from 1982, ask for the milestone inspection report and the repair plan that followed it, the reserve study, the master insurance schedule with its deductibles, and the minutes of recent capital projects before comparing one unit's carrying costs with another's.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

Short-term rental rules for a Breakers East unit begin with the City of Destin. Breakers East registrations renew each year. New owners or managers start over. The city's list of districts where such rentals are generally allowed includes Gulf Resort Mixed Use, the district mapped over Breakers East. The FAQ still sends owners to the city zoning map to confirm. Zoning is a land-use rule only. The recorded declaration and any rental amendments can be stricter. Read them first.

Building Answers

Breakers East FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Breakers East?

As of November 11, 2026, the 2 Breakers East condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $1,217 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.

How many condos are in Breakers East?

There are 72. The county roll shows 72 residential parcels at 1010 East Highway 98, the state's registry lists 72 units, and unit numbers run in sixes from 101 to 1206.

When was Breakers East built?

County property records give 1982 as the construction year for all 72 homes, and the state registry shows the condominium recorded on February 22, 1982. Neither source gives the date the building was first certified for use, which is the date Florida's milestone inspection clock actually follows.

Which flood zones cover the Breakers East property?

The shared property outline touches four mapped areas: Zone VE at a base flood elevation of 16 feet over about two fifths of it, the 0.2 percent annual chance band of Zone X over about half, Zone AO over a few percent, and minimal-hazard Zone X over the rest. A single unit's rating depends on its own elevation, so ask for the elevation certificate on the home you are considering.

Does a 1982 building like Breakers East owe a structural milestone inspection?

Probably, and the height test is the part to confirm. The statute covers condominiums of three habitable stories or more, and unit numbers up to 1206 suggest Breakers East qualifies. Its clock starts when a building is first certified for use; for anything past 30 years by July 1, 2022, the first inspection was due before December 31, 2024. The useful question is what the report found and what work it set in motion.

How big are the units at Breakers East?

The property roll records 1,453 square feet of living area for every one of the 72 homes, which points to one floor plan repeated, though that is an assessor's record and not a plan set. Differences between homes are more likely to come from level, position along the floor and renovation than from size.
