Holiday Surf & Racquet Club Condos for Sale

About Holiday Surf & Racquet Club

Holiday Surf & Racquet Club is one of those addresses the county record can describe almost end to end, and doing so corrects two numbers that have followed the building around. Okaloosa County lists an actual year built of 1975 on all 166 of its condominium parcels, and the header record the county keeps for the property spells the count out in its own shorthand: 166 units. The site covers 5.25 acres at 510 Gulf Shore Drive, and the county address file places those residences on seven levels, twenty-three each on the lowest two and twenty-four on each of the five above. That distribution rewards a slow read, because a building that puts two dozen doors on every floor is laid out in long horizontal runs rather than around a single stacked core, which is why exposure varies so much from one residence to the next. Frontage is settled by geometry rather than by the word Surf in the name: the parcel polygon meets the county's Gulf water body along its southern edge and does not overlap it, so the boundary of the property and the line of the beach are the same line. The flood layer then divides the ground behind it, mapping VE zones with base flood elevations of 12 and 15 feet nearest the water and AE zones at 9 and 8 feet further back, all four of them special flood hazard areas. A second line crosses this ground and shows up on no listing. The state's coastal construction control line runs through the parcel and through the county's outline of the main building, so part of this site stands seaward of the boundary that governs coastal construction under Florida Statutes 161.053, and work there answers to a state permitting regime rather than to local approval alone. The plats on either side belong to the Inlet Reef Club and to Gulfshore.
