Destin Yacht Club Condos for Sale

About Destin Yacht Club

Destin Yacht Club keeps an older name in the public record. Okaloosa County files the property under the legal name Destin Yacht Club, but the header record it maintains for the building carries a note in the county's own shorthand: formerly known as Sandestin Yacht Club Condo. The building has no connection to the Sandestin resort in Walton County, and a buyer who meets that earlier name in a title search should recognize it as the same address. Construction is dated 1984 across every condominium parcel, on 2.31 acres. The county address file supplies the shape only in part. It places every residence between the second level and the twelfth, none at ground level, with three sharing the top. It will not support a tidy count per floor, because it and the parcel roll do not agree unit for unit: two of the lower residences are assigned a level their own unit numbers contradict, one unit the roll assesses has no address record at all, and one the roll folds into a neighbor's assessment is addressed on its own. The range and the thin top level hold up. A breakdown by floor does not, and this page publishes none. Fifty-two condominium parcels sit on the roll, one of which folds two unit numbers into a single assessment. The county's own header record for the property gives a third figure again, reading 50 units in its legal description, which matches neither the parcel count nor the unit designations actually in use. Read 52 as what it is, the number of assessed condominium parcels in this property's parcel identifier series, and expect a listing sheet or a title search to arrive at a different number for a reason of its own. The roll also answers a question a harbor buyer should ask early, and it does not answer it the same way for every residence. No dock, slip or marina is assessed here as a parcel of its own. The slips are written into the residences instead: 33 of the 52 condominium parcels name a boat slip by number in the legal description the roll carries for them, and 19 name none. Three of the 33 name more than one slip, one prints the book and page of the instrument alongside the slip number, and a few numbers appear on more than one parcel, which is the plainest sign that the roll is where the question becomes visible rather than a register to rely on. The point for a buyer is simple and worth stating outright: at this address a slip may or may not come with a residence, the assessment record is the first place that shows, and the recorded declaration and the deed are what settle it. The water deserves its exact name. County hydrography identifies the body this parcel meets as Old Pass Lagoon, the protected reach between the mainland and Holiday Isle that is more often called Destin Harbor, and the parcel touches no part of the Gulf polygon. The flood map does not treat that ground as one thing. Effective mapping puts an AE area at a base flood elevation of 10 feet across the part of the site nearest the lagoon, which is a special flood hazard area, with an area of minimal hazard behind it and a 0.2 percent annual chance area between the two. What no county file can settle is which side of that line an individual residence stands on. The county's own building footprint for the tower falls in the minimal hazard and 0.2 percent areas rather than in the AE band, but a footprint is not a residence and a parcel drawing is not an elevation; a specific unit is placed by an elevation certificate and by the association's flood policy, not by a map layer. Apart from the residences, the only parcels the roll carries under this name are the header record and a single common area parcel held by the building's owners association.
