About East Pass Towers

One name, two condominiums, two ages. Okaloosa County records the first phase at 100 Gulf Shore Drive with 55 residences built in 1985 on 1.80 acres, and the second at 110 Gulf Shore Drive with 47 residences built in 1996 on a near-identical 1.80 acres, the two parcels sharing a boundary. Address records put six levels at the older building and seven at the newer, so the description of this property as a high-rise overstates it: these are mid-rise buildings, and the neighboring Waterview Towers plat that abuts the second phase is the taller structure on this stretch. The water the parcels touch is the East Pass, the channel between Holiday Isle and the harbor, not the Gulf; the county's water body layer puts the Gulf of America polygon about 2,200 feet away, a little under half a mile. The other plat on the boundary is Pointe Beach and Yacht Club.

HOA & Fees

The two phases do not share a structural inspection deadline, and that is the first document request a buyer should make. Under section 553.899 a qualifying condominium building must have its milestone inspection by December 31 of the year it turns thirty, counted from the certificate of occupancy date. On the county's recorded construction years that places the 1985 phase in the group whose first inspection was due before December 31, 2024, while the 1996 phase reaches thirty in 2026. The statute also lets the local enforcement agency require inspection at twenty-five years where conditions such as proximity to salt water justify it, which is a fair question for buildings whose boundary is a tidal channel. Ask which association governs the residence you are considering, when its inspection was completed or is scheduled, and what the resulting reserve study recommended.

Rental Policy

The City of Destin names the zoning districts where short term rental use is generally permitted, and four of them are specific to this barrier island: Holiday Isle Mixed Use and the low, medium and high density residential Holiday Isle districts, alongside the mainland and harbor districts. Which of those covers a given parcel is answered by the city's zoning map, not by the street name, so confirm the district before assuming eligibility. Registration under the city's program is annual and does not transfer with a sale. What the two recorded declarations permit is a separate question again, and since the residences here sit under two different phase filings, the governing document for one address is not necessarily the governing document for the other. Read the declaration for the specific residence.

Building Answers

East Pass Towers FAQ

Which water does this property actually front?

The East Pass. The county's water body layer puts the parcel boundary against the East Pass channel polygon at zero feet, so this is channel frontage rather than beachfront, with the Gulf of America polygon roughly 2,200 feet away, a little under half a mile. Old Pass Lagoon comes close on the other side but does not reach the property, stopping about 124 feet short of the parcel lines.

Is this property a high-rise?

Six levels at 100 Gulf Shore Drive and seven at 110, by the county's per-residence address records. That is mid-rise scale, and the Waterview Towers plat bordering the newer phase is the taller building on this part of the island.

Were both phases built at the same time?

No, eleven years apart. The county records 1985 for the 55 residences at 100 Gulf Shore Drive and 1996 for the 47 residences at 110, which matters because Florida's structural inspection clock runs per building rather than per condominium name.
