About Crystal Sands
The single most useful thing to know before shopping here is that Crystal Sands is not one building. Okaloosa County files 85 residences under the one condominium name, but its addressing records split them between two street numbers on Scenic Highway 98: 48 at 3184 and 37 at 3290. The county's building footprint layer confirms two structures on the ground, each three levels tall, with roughly a dozen to sixteen residences per level. All of it carries a 1995 construction year and 4.82 mapped acres, and one more parcel, about 2.05 acres, sits under the same ownership as vacant commercial land with no year of construction recorded against it. The only plat that actually touches this property is Crystal Beach itself, measured against the parcel outlines rather than a box drawn around them: the Grand Caribbean East and West condominium plats come within about 100 and 116 feet respectively without meeting a boundary, and the Crystal Pier Courtyard townhouses stop roughly 295 feet away. The southern parcel boundary follows the mapped edge of the Gulf of America without reaching into it, and the state's Coastal Construction Control Line crosses the property in two places.
HOA & Fees
What is the HOA fee at Crystal Sands?
As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Crystal Sands condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $884 to $1,179 a month, with a median of $991 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.

An association carrying two separate structures has to schedule roofs, exterior envelope work and painting across both, and the two can fall due in different years even under one budget, so ask how the reserve plan sequences them rather than reading a single line for the property. Height is the other thing to check. At three levels each, both buildings sit at the threshold Florida uses in several places: section 553.899 reaches condominium buildings three stories or more for milestone structural inspection, on a clock counted from the certificate of occupancy date, and the county's recorded 1995 construction year would put the thirty-year mark in 2025. Because the statute keys to the occupancy certificate rather than the appraiser's year, confirm the actual date with the association before relying on it, and ask for the inspection report and the reserve study that follows from it.
Rental Policy
Short-term rentals: not yet confirmed for this building.
Destin sets overnight guest limits home by home, so each Crystal Sands unit gets its own number. Registration attaches to one home at one street number. A unit at 3184 and one at 3290 register separately, under the same declaration. The city counts two adults per bedroom and four more people, up to 24, from 10 at night to 7 in the morning. It takes ten bedrooms to reach 24, so work out the bedroom figure for your floor plan. Trust that over an advertised sleeps count. Whether short stays are allowed depends on the parcel's zoning district and the recorded declaration. Check both.

Building Answers
Crystal Sands FAQ
How much is the HOA fee at Crystal Sands?
As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Crystal Sands condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $884 to $1,179 a month, with a median of $991 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 Crystal Sands one building or more than one?
Two. County addressing records divide the 85 residences between 3184 Scenic Highway 98, which holds 48, and 3290 Scenic Highway 98, which holds 37, and the county's building footprint layer shows two structures on the property.
What is the level count at each address?
Three levels each. The county's per-residence address records assign roughly twelve to sixteen homes to each level at both street numbers, which is what puts the property right at the three-story mark that several Florida condominium rules turn on.
Is there land here beyond the two buildings?
Yes. Alongside the 4.82 mapped acres carrying the residences, the county lists a further parcel of about 2.05 acres under the same condominium name, classed as vacant commercial and with no construction year recorded against it.
