About Magnolia House
Magnolia House has been described on this page as standing inside Destin Pointe, and the county plat record says otherwise. The building is its own recorded subdivision on a 0.39 acre parcel at 480 Gulf Shore Drive, sharing a boundary with Destin Pointe without lying within it. What it shares that boundary with is the single most useful fact about the address: the only parcel touching this one is an 8.80 acre residential common area owned by the Destin Pointe Owners Association. The condominium's ground, in other words, ends at its own walls, and every direction out of it crosses land held by an association a purchaser here does not automatically join. Destin Pointe's own roll runs to 120 parcels, 102 of them detached houses with the remainder vacant or common, and not one condominium among them. Where the record can see the building, it is straightforward. Okaloosa County assesses all 66 condominium parcels to 1986, and the header record it keeps states the count in plain words. Residences occupy six levels and thin as they rise: twelve on each of the lowest four, ten on the fifth, eight at the top, a pattern that varies from level to level and so reads as measured rather than as a placeholder copied down a column. Water is near without being adjacent. The parcel meets no water body at all, with the Gulf roughly 1,200 feet away and East Pass roughly 1,100, and the whole site carries a single flood designation, an AE zone at a base flood elevation of 8 feet.
HOA & Fees
Read two sets of documents here and do not assume they connect. This condominium is recorded as its own subdivision, while the 8.80 acres wrapping around it belong to the Destin Pointe Owners Association, a separate corporation with instruments of its own. Ask in writing what rights of use, access and parking the declaration actually grants across that ground, what is paid for them and to whom, and whether those payments appear anywhere in the condominium's own budget. Then read the reserve study for a 1986 envelope standing on a footprint with almost no surrounding land of its own, because staging alone can make ordinary exterior work more awkward and more expensive here than the same work on a roomier site.
Rental Policy
No rental permission is stated on this page in either direction. The declaration and the rules currently in force govern guest stays, and the surrounding common area is governed separately by the Destin Pointe Owners Association, so questions about visitor access and parking have to be put to that association rather than to this building. Destin's registration program applies over both, and whether a property qualifies under it follows from where the city's zoning map places the parcel, a determination the county record does not carry.

Building Answers
Magnolia House FAQ
Is Magnolia House part of Destin Pointe?
Not according to the county plat record. It is recorded as its own subdivision and shares a boundary with Destin Pointe rather than sitting inside it, and Destin Pointe's 120 parcels are detached houses and vacant lots with no condominium among them. What a residence here carries in the surrounding ground is a question for the recorded documents rather than for the map.
Who owns the land around the building?
The Destin Pointe Owners Association. The only parcel sharing a boundary with this 0.39 acre site is an 8.80 acre residential common area held in that association's name, so the ground past the walls is not the condominium's own.
How far is the water from Magnolia House?
About a quarter mile in two directions: roughly 1,200 feet to the Gulf and roughly 1,100 feet to East Pass, measured from the parcel using the county's own hydrography. The site touches no water body itself and carries one flood designation, an AE zone at a base flood elevation of 8 feet.
