About Crystal Villas

The county roll lists Crystal Villas as two series that add up to 27 separately titled condominium homes at 2850 Scenic Highway 98 in Destin, Okaloosa County, all dated 1984. Series A, recorded under the legal name Crystal Villas Condo, runs A1 through A12. Series B, recorded as Crystal Villas Ph II, runs B1 through B15.

Floor area, not floor level, separates these homes. Series A has four homes at 832 square feet, four at 988, two at 1,120 and two at 1,330; series B has ten at 936 and five at 1,260. No unit number carries a level digit and the roll gives no floor count, so nothing here says how tall either series is. Each series has its own drawn outline, about 0.48 acre for A and 0.61 acre for B, shared by every title in it.

Flood mapping treats the two outlines almost alike. Zone X covers about 20 percent of A and 23 percent of B, a strip on the highway side; across the rest of each, FEMA shows the coastal high-hazard Zone VE with its base flood elevation at 16 feet. Asked where one point inside the two outlines falls, the Census place geocoder answers Destin city, Okaloosa County. A map result for a whole outline cannot place one home, which is what an elevation certificate does.

A 1984 date puts both series past 30 years of age before July 1, 2022. For a condominium building of three or more habitable stories, Florida's milestone statute required that first inspection before the end of 2024. Because the roll lists no levels, this page cannot say whether the statute reaches either series. From the association, request the story count and the inspection report if one exists, then the current reserve study and the minutes. No dues figure, amenity ownership or lease language shows up in anything opened for this page.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Crystal Villas?

No Crystal Villas condo is for sale right now. On the one Crystal Villas condo sold in March 2026 whose MLS record states a fee, the HOA fee was $750 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.

Fees billed quarterly, twice a year or yearly are shown as a monthly equivalent. Based on information from ECAR for the period March 30, 2026 through March 30, 2026. See the listings

Florida's registry holds an entry for Crystal Villas Owners' Association, Inc., filed June 8, 1984, active, reinstated July 10, 1995 and holding annual reports for each year from 2019 through 2026. The registry does not say whether this one corporation serves both the A and B homes, and nothing reachable says what it collects, what its budget covers or how costs divide between the series. Get the budget and reserve schedule for the series that holds your home, plus the insurance summary, any inspection correspondence and the special-assessment history.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: not yet confirmed for this building.

Crystal Villas has no rental rule on file yet. Destin's website spells out which zoning districts are generally open to short-term rentals. No record on file places 2850 Scenic Highway 98 in one of them. The association keeps its lease terms in a declaration that has not been checked. Until the city names the district and the association supplies current terms, treat any listing's rental claims as unconfirmed. Get both answers in writing.

Crystal Villas FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Crystal Villas?

No Crystal Villas condo is for sale right now. On the one Crystal Villas condo sold in March 2026 whose MLS record states a fee, the HOA fee was $750 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. Fees billed quarterly, twice a year or yearly are shown as a monthly equivalent. Based on information from ECAR for the period March 30, 2026 through March 30, 2026.

How many homes does Crystal Villas have in its A and B series?

Twenty-seven, 12 in series A and 15 in series B, every one a residential condominium parcel at 2850 Scenic Highway 98 on the county roll. The roll gives the series different legal names, Crystal Villas Condo for A and Crystal Villas Ph II for B, but the state registry lists a single Crystal Villas Owners' Association.

What size are the homes in Crystal Villas?

Series A homes list 832, 988, 1,120 or 1,330 square feet, in groups of four, four, two and two. Series B lists ten homes at 936 square feet and five at 1,260. These are living areas from the roll and say nothing about bedrooms, so check a listing's room count against them.

How much of Crystal Villas is mapped as coastal high hazard?

Most of each outline. Zone X occupies only the highway-side strip, about a fifth of A and just under a quarter of B, with Zone VE at 16 feet across the rest. Because those shares describe outline area, a particular home still needs its own elevation certificate.

Has Crystal Villas had a milestone inspection?

Nothing loaded for this page says. The statute covers condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories, and the roll lists no levels here. Where it applies, a 1984 building was due for its first inspection before the end of 2024. The association can say whether a report exists.

Do the A and B homes share one association?

Nothing opened for this page settles that. The registry entry for Crystal Villas Owners' Association, Inc. shows a June 8, 1984 filing, active status and a July 10, 1995 reinstatement, and it does not say which homes the corporation covers. How costs divide between the series is a question for the declaration, so request it from the association.
