About Chateau La Mer

Chateau La Mer is easy to confuse with its neighbor, so start with the boundaries. The state tax-roll file lists 58 residential condominium parcels under this name, numbered in the 002S224650 series, each a single home, each with 1977 as its year built and a Destin address on East Highway 98. The state's condominium registry agrees on 58 units for a project recorded in 1977, with Chateau La Mer Condo Assn Inc as managing entity. Chateau La Mer II is a different project: 64 homes in two phases at 3755 Scenic Highway 98, built in 1982, with its own registry row and its own parcel series.

Unit numbers run from 1A to 16E. Every number from 1 to 16 has an A and a B home, ten numbers (1 to 5, 7 to 9, 11 and 12) add a C and a D, and six (6, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16) have a single E home in their place. Heated area on the tax roll sorts the 58 homes into three groups: 20 at 759 square feet, 32 at 923, and the six E homes at 1,557. Size follows the number rather than the letter, so a 1A and a 2A differ by about 160 square feet. Nothing loaded for this page states how tall the building is or what the unit numbers stand for, so no story count appears here; take a home's level and exposure from its plan or listing.

FEMA's national flood layer maps the whole outline as Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, and the Census Bureau's 2026-vintage place boundary puts it inside the City of Destin rather than unincorporated Okaloosa County. The 1977 build year matters for structure. If the building counts three or more habitable stories, a fact not established here, section 553.899 made its first milestone inspection due before December 31, 2024, because it passed 30 years of age before July 2022, with repeat inspections every ten years after that. Ask the association whether that inspection happened and what repair work came out of it.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Chateau La Mer?

As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Chateau La Mer condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $598 to $842 a month, with a median of $842 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.

The state registry lists Chateau La Mer Condo Assn Inc as managing entity for the project. The declaration was not opened for this page, so how common costs divide among the A through E plans is unconfirmed. The tax roll shows each E home as one parcel of about 1,557 square feet; ask whether the declaration gives it a larger share than a 759 or 923 square foot home carries. Request the current budget, the latest reserve study, the master insurance summary and any open repair schedule from this association, and keep them apart from anything issued by Chateau La Mer II.

Rental Policy

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

Chateau La Mer sits inside Destin, so the city's registration program is the public rule. Under the city FAQ, a Chateau La Mer registration renews yearly and does not pass to a new owner or management company. Destin names its eligible districts. Which district holds Chateau La Mer has not been established. Nobody has checked the Chateau La Mer leasing section yet. Read it, and set aside papers issued by Chateau La Mer II.

Building Answers

Chateau La Mer FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Chateau La Mer?

As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Chateau La Mer condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $598 to $842 a month, with a median of $842 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.

Is Chateau La Mer the same condominium as Chateau La Mer II?

No. Chateau La Mer has 58 homes recorded in 1977 at 3795 Scenic Highway 98. Chateau La Mer II has 64 homes in two phases at 3755, built in 1982. Each has its own entry in the state registry and its own parcel numbers, so documents and sales from one do not describe the other.

What sizes do the homes at Chateau La Mer come in?

The tax roll lists 20 homes at 759 square feet, 32 at 923 and six E homes at 1,557. Every unit number from 1 to 16 has A and B homes, ten numbers also have C and D, and six have one E home instead. Roll heated area is not a measured floor plan, so confirm a particular home against its plan.

What flood zone is Chateau La Mer in?

FEMA's national flood layer shows the whole property outline in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. That is a map category for the site, not a lender's determination for one home, and it says nothing about wind or water entering from above. Ask the association for its master insurance summary.

Has Chateau La Mer had its milestone inspection?

Nothing among the records behind this page reports whether an inspection took place. The building dates to 1977, so if it counts three or more habitable stories, a point no loaded record settles, section 553.899 set its first inspection before December 31, 2024. Whether the association has completed that inspection, and what work it led to, is the next thing to ask.
