About Caribbean Dunes

Caribbean Dunes is one condominium filed in two parts. Florida's condominium registry carries a single 53-unit project, recorded on September 19, 1997, and names Caribbean Dunes Owners' Association, Inc. as its managing entity. The state's 2026 parcel roll divides those homes into phase I, 24 parcels at 73 Shirah Street, and phase II, 29 parcels at 71 Woodward Street, and records a 1997 build year on all 53.

Unit numbers come in two runs, 101 to 127 and 201 to 226, which points to two levels of homes, although no agency record states a story count. The roll's living areas follow that numbering closely: every 100-series home except unit 127 is recorded at 700 square feet, unit 127 at 1,033, and 18 of the 26 homes in the 200 series at 920, with the other eight at 700.

Both phase outlines lie wholly inside the city limits on Destin's own boundary layer, and FEMA's national flood map places every part of them in Zone X, which the agency labels an area of minimal flood hazard. Each unit parcel is drawn as its entire phase outline, so that result describes the shared ground rather than any single home's floor elevation or insurance rating.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Caribbean Dunes?

As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Caribbean Dunes condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $817 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.

Based on 3 active MLS listings that report an HOA fee. See the listings

The state registry ties all 53 units to one managing entity, Caribbean Dunes Owners' Association, Inc., so the Shirah Street and Woodward Street addresses are not by themselves evidence of two associations or two budgets. Whether any reserve, insurance or maintenance cost is allocated by phase is a question the declaration and the current budget must answer; request both, with recent board minutes, before relying on a figure quoted for the other phase.

Rental Policy

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

City zoning maps place nearly all of both Caribbean Dunes phases in the Crystal Beach Resort district. On Destin's FAQ, the Caribbean Dunes district is listed as generally allowing short-term rentals. Registration there must be renewed every year. Zoning is only the city's half. The Caribbean Dunes declaration, its amendments and the current association rules can limit leasing further. Read them before counting on any stay shorter than a long-term lease.

Building Answers

Caribbean Dunes FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Caribbean Dunes?

As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Caribbean Dunes condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $817 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.

Are Caribbean Dunes phase I and phase II separate associations?

Florida's registry shows one 53-unit project with one managing entity, Caribbean Dunes Owners' Association, Inc. The parcel roll still files the homes in two parcel series by phase, 24 on Shirah Street and 29 on Woodward Street, so a title search or an estoppel request should name the right phase and unit.

How many square feet are the Caribbean Dunes condos?

The state roll records three sizes: 34 homes at 700 square feet, 18 at 920 and a single home, unit 127, at 1,033. Every 920 square foot home carries a 200-series number, so the unit number is a quick first check on which plan a listing describes.

What does FEMA's flood map show on the Caribbean Dunes grounds?

Every part of both phase outlines falls in Zone X, with no base flood elevation assigned. Because each unit parcel shares its phase outline, the map speaks to the grounds as a whole; an insurer quoting one particular unit may still ask for that unit's own elevation details.

Can Caribbean Dunes owners rent their units by the week?

The city and the association answer this separately. Destin's part turns on zoning, and both phases sit in Crystal Beach Resort, a district on the city's short-term rental list that still requires yearly registration. The association's part lives in the declaration and current rules, which this page has not reviewed, so obtain them before relying on weekly stays.
