About Jetty East

Jetty East occupies 500 Gulf Shore Drive on Holiday Isle in the city of Destin, the same address the Florida Division of Corporations carries as the principal office of Jetty East Condominium Association, Inc., a not for profit whose state filing is dated November 22, 1974 and whose status there reads active. The association's own site describes a Gulf front residential Florida condominium of 198 units with 787 feet of white sand, views over the Gulf of Mexico, East Pass and Destin Harbor, and calls the property the most westerly Gulf front condominium in Destin, steps from the pass it is named for. The Holiday Isle and Highway 98 buildings east of it are gathered in the Destin condo guides. The recorded declaration describes the plan mix at 72 one bedroom, 60 two bedroom, 41 three bedroom and 25 four bedroom residences, with one bedroom layouts running 636 to 804 square feet and four bedroom layouts at 1,776 square feet, plus covered and uncovered parking and 24 hour security on site. A buyer comparing closings on the Jetty East market page should keep each bedroom count apart, because a 636 square foot plan and a 1,776 square foot plan sit in different tiers. The association lists the shared plant as a gated community with security, tennis courts set for day play, pickle ball courts, shuffleboard, barbeque grills, a heated pool and hot tub, an exercise room, a beach pavilion, boardwalks, meeting and conference facilities, and onsite rental services, run by what it calls a professional on-site association management team.

The water beside it explains the name: the area's destination site describes the east pass as the channel running from Destin Harbor out to the Gulf of Mexico, with the Destin Jetties sheltering calm water for swimming and snorkeling at Norriego Point farther along the same road. A corporation whose state filing dates to 1974 has decades of building history sitting behind its balance sheet, and that is where a buyer's attention belongs, with the site's Gulf-front condo buying checklist open beside four Jetty East records: the current budget, the insurance summary, the reserve and engineering record, and the recorded declaration itself.

Florida's corporate registry carries the governing body here as Jetty East Condominium Association, Inc., dates that entity's filing to November 22, 1974, marks it active, and gives 500 Gulf Shore Drive as the principal address. The association publishes this shared plant: a gated entry with security, the heated pool and hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, the beach pavilion and boardwalks, an exercise room, and meeting and conference facilities. The dollar figure behind that list, and what it covers, sit in the association's own file, which is why diligence should name four items when it asks: the operating budget, the insurance certificate in force, the reserve and engineering record, and the recorded declaration.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

The Jetty East association's own site lists onsite rental services among what it offers. It does not give stay lengths or guest limits for those services. The terms an owner may rent under come from the recorded Jetty East declaration and the association's current rules. Read both for the specific unit. Then check where Destin's short-term rental registration stands for that unit before counting on rentals.

Building Answers

Jetty East FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Jetty East?

As of November 11, 2026, the 18 Jetty East condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $975 to $1,116 a month, with a median of $1,069 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.

What do the views at Jetty East look out on?

Jetty East residences look out on the Gulf of Mexico, the East Pass or Destin Harbor, the three views its association names. The association also describes the property as steps from the East Pass and as the most westerly Gulf front condominium in Destin. Which of the three a given residence faces depends on where it sits in the building, so a buyer confirms the orientation of the specific unit instead of reading it off the address.

How much beach frontage does Jetty East have?

Jetty East's association puts its beach at 787 feet of white sand in front of a Gulf front condominium of 198 units. At least one other published description of the property gives a larger figure, so any frontage number is that publisher's count, and the recorded plat and survey are the documents to check it against during diligence.

What sizes do Jetty East residences come in?

Jetty East residences come in four tiers, from one bedroom to four. The published plan mix counts 72 one bedroom, 60 two bedroom, 41 three bedroom and 25 four bedroom residences, with one bedroom plans between 636 and 804 square feet and four bedroom plans at 1,776 square feet. Square footage varies within a tier, so a buyer checks it plan by plan rather than trusting the bedroom label alone.

Does Jetty East have an on-site rental program?

Jetty East does run an on-site rental operation: the association's site lists onsite rental services among what the property provides. The terms an owner rents under are written in the Jetty East Condominium Association's recorded declaration and in the rules its board enforces now, and a buyer asks the association for both. Short term rentals in Destin also register with the city, so the unit's registration standing belongs in the same request.

Is parking covered behind the Jetty East gate?

Jetty East has both covered and uncovered parking, as the recorded declaration describes it, along with 24 hour security behind a gated entry. Which kind of space goes with a given residence is set by the recorded declaration and the association, so a buyer confirms the assignment before closing.
