About Marbella

Marbella's record is unusually tidy for a Destin building. Sixty-nine unit parcels sit under one legal name on a shared 2.15 acre footprint at 770 Harbor Boulevard, and the county's header row for the property states the count outright as 69 units. Every unit row carries an actual year built of 2006, with no second phase to reconcile. County address points assign those units to nine levels, one through eight plus a penthouse pair, and that height is what pulls Florida's condominium statutes into diligence. At nine levels this building clears the three-story mark by a wide margin, so section 553.899 puts it on a milestone structural inspection clock timed to its certificate of occupancy, and because the association is controlled by its unit owners, the funded level of the components its reserve study names has since the end of 2024 stopped being something the membership can vote down. The water question needs care. Old Pass Lagoon, the name the county's hydrography layer gives the harbor water, comes within 50 feet of this parcel, but no Marbella parcel reaches it. The ground in between belongs to others: two parcels totalling about 3.1 acres are titled to Marbella Master Association, Inc., and 2.88 acres are recorded to a private limited liability company. Any use of the water from this address therefore rests on a recorded easement or agreement rather than on anything this condominium's own parcel carries, and that is the first document to ask for. Flood mapping splits the property against itself. That one 2.15 acre parcel is crossed by four FEMA designations at once: Zone AE at a base flood elevation of 8 feet, Zone AE at 9 feet, Zone X, and the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance area.

HOA & Fees

Two questions outrank the rest here. The first is the reserve position. Nine addressed levels put this stack well past the height at which section 553.899 attaches a milestone structural inspection and section 718.112 attaches a structural integrity reserve study, and for a budget adopted on or after December 31, 2024, a membership that controls its own association may no longer choose to fund the items that study lists at less than it requires. The second is water rights. The county roll shows the condominium's parcel stopping short of Old Pass Lagoon, with the ground between titled to Marbella Master Association, Inc. and to a private company, so ask in writing what recorded easement or agreement, if any, gives this condominium's owners any use of that ground or the water beyond it.

Rental Policy

No recorded declaration for this condominium was reachable while this page was written, so nothing here claims that short stays are permitted or that they are barred. What the record does settle is height, and height decides who carries the paperwork. Nine addressed levels put this building past every story threshold Florida attaches to a condominium, section 509.2112 among them, so a residence let to paying guests draws the whole structure into a periodically renewed safety filing on its balconies, stairways and railings. That filing belongs to the establishment, not to an individual owner, which means the question goes to the board rather than to a management company. Registration with the City of Destin sits over the top of it and follows the parcel. Get the recorded restrictions and the current board policy before underwriting any rental use.

Building Answers

Marbella FAQ

How many residences are at Marbella, and how tall is the building?

The county roll carries 69 unit parcels under the condominium's legal name, and its header row states the count as 69 units. County address points place those units on nine levels, one through eight plus a penthouse pair.

Does Marbella's property reach the harbor water?

Not according to the county's mapping. Old Pass Lagoon comes within 50 feet of the condominium's parcel but does not touch it, and the ground in between is titled to a separate master association and to a private company. Any water use would rest on a recorded easement rather than on frontage.

Why can flood insurance differ between residences at Marbella?

Because four FEMA designations cross one parcel. The effective mapping puts parts of the 2.15 acre footprint in Zone AE at a base flood elevation of 8 feet, parts in Zone AE at 9 feet, parts in Zone X, and parts in the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance area.
