About Grand Caribbean East

Grand Caribbean East is the smaller of two similarly named buildings on this stretch, and the county roll is where that shows. Okaloosa County carries 38 condominium parcels under the legal name Grand Caribbean East Condo, all dated 1995, on 1.38 acres at 3291 Scenic Highway 98. Its neighbor to the west is filed separately as Grand Caribbean West Condo with 41 parcels dated 1994, so the two are a year and three residences apart and, far more importantly, are separate condominiums with separate declarations. A count of 41 attached to this address belongs to the other building. The address file puts these residences on three levels, twelve on the first and thirteen on each of the two above. The parcel's most useful fact appears in no listing. It meets no water body at all in county hydrography, with Scenic Highway 98 lying between the grounds and the sand, and the flood layer assigns the entire parcel to the minimal flood hazard zone with no part of it inside a special flood hazard area. For a Destin building within sight of the Gulf that combination is uncommon, and it changes the arithmetic of ownership more than the view does. The plat immediately adjoining is Crystal Beach.

HOA & Fees

Two buildings share most of a name here and share nothing else, so the first question is which association's documents are in front of you: this one is filed as Grand Caribbean East Condo and its neighbor as Grand Caribbean West Condo. Thirty-eight residences across three levels make for a legible budget, with a walk-up scale envelope and no elevator tower or waterline structure behind the numbers. Height is what pulls a low-rise like this into Florida Statutes 553.899 anyway: the statute reaches anything of three or more stories, and its clock turns on the building's thirtieth year, which for a 1995 completion was 2025. Ask for the milestone report and what it found rather than assuming a three-story walk-up sits outside the requirement.

Rental Policy

Verify guest-stay terms from this building's own declaration rather than from the shared name, since the neighboring building is a separate condominium with separate documents and the two can differ. Destin's own program adds a yearly registration and a ceiling on overnight occupancy, and it works from a district list on which Crystal Beach Resort and Crystal Beach Neighborhood both appear, so the current city requirements and the declaration have to be read side by side. This page asserts nothing about what either permits at this address.

Building Answers

Grand Caribbean East FAQ

How many residences are in Grand Caribbean East?

Thirty-eight, on three levels: twelve on the first and thirteen on each of the two above, according to the county's address file. The roll carries exactly that many condominium parcels under the building's legal name, all dated 1995. A count of forty-one belongs to the separate building west of it.

How close is Grand Caribbean East to the water?

Close enough to see it, not close enough to touch it. The parcel meets no water body at all in county hydrography, with Scenic Highway 98 running between the grounds and the sand, which is why the building is not recorded as beachfront even with the Gulf directly opposite.

What is the flood picture at Grand Caribbean East?

Unusually simple. The county's flood layer assigns the whole 1.38 acre parcel to the minimal flood hazard zone, with no part of it inside a special flood hazard area. That is worth confirming against any parcel this building is being compared with, because the answer differs sharply within a short distance on this coast.
