About Poolside Villas

Poolside Villas is the thirty-home condominium at 300 Gulf Shore Drive on Holiday Isle, within Destin in Okaloosa County. Destin's parcel file counts thirty condominium units, ten in each of the 100, 200 and 300 series, and gives all thirty an actual year built of 1985 and 840 square feet of living area. Its thirty-first entry is a header with no year and no living area, and all thirty-one share a single outline of roughly one acre, so that acreage belongs to the grounds and cannot be multiplied across the units. Destin zones the whole parcel High Density Residential.

Ten address points hold the thirty homes, three numbers each with a shared suffix, and one more point marks the building itself. No record opened for this page says how many buildings those ten groups form or how tall each is, so no floor count appears. That gap decides how far Florida's milestone inspection statute reaches. Its 2026 text speaks of a building, not a site, so the height that counts is each building's own count of habitable stories, and the age clock starts when the building was first cleared for use. Thirty years from the assessor's 1985 ended in 2015, so a covered building here would fall under the statute's earlier first-inspection date, the one due before December 31, 2024; only the building official's file can say whether any building here is covered.

On FEMA's map the grounds are close to an even split. Zone AE, with a base flood elevation of 8 feet, covers roughly 49 percent of the outline when the polygons are laid over it, and shaded Zone X, the 0.2 percent annual chance band, covers roughly 51 percent. The name suggests a pool, yet no document opened for this page lists amenities, so none is claimed here. Ask the association what its charges maintain.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Poolside Villas?

No Poolside Villas condo is for sale right now. On the 2 Poolside Villas condos sold between May 2026 and October 2026 whose MLS records state a fee, the HOA fee was $767 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.

Fees billed quarterly, twice a year or yearly are shown as a monthly equivalent. Based on information from ECAR for the period May 7, 2026 through October 1, 2026. See the listings

A search of the state's corporate registry finds Poolside Villas Owners' Association, Inc., an active not-for-profit filed July 29, 1985, with a reinstatement entry dated June 22, 1993. That entry does not say which units it governs or what its charges cover, and nothing else opened for this page does either; a name that mentions a pool settles nothing about who looks after one. Request the declaration, the current operating budget and reserve schedule, the master policy declarations with the deductible allocation, and any assessment notices tied to the unit under consideration, then match each expense line to a physical common element.

Rental Policy

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

Two records bear on short stays at Poolside Villas. The first is city zoning, which places the grounds in High Density Residential. Destin's rental district map of August 14, 2025 lists that district as permitted for single homes and for multi-unit buildings. Read that as zoning eligibility only. The second record is the recorded declaration, which can be stricter than the city. It has not been checked. Read its lease clauses before assuming any past rental history at Poolside Villas will continue.

Building Answers

Poolside Villas FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Poolside Villas?

No Poolside Villas condo is for sale right now. On the 2 Poolside Villas condos sold between May 2026 and October 2026 whose MLS records state a fee, the HOA fee was $767 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. Fees billed quarterly, twice a year or yearly are shown as a monthly equivalent. Based on information from ECAR for the period May 7, 2026 through October 1, 2026.

How many condos does Poolside Villas have?

Thirty. The Destin parcel file lists thirty condominium parcels numbered 101 to 110, 201 to 210 and 301 to 310, plus a header record that is not a home, and the city's address layer holds the same thirty numbers on ten points.

Are all the Poolside Villas units the same size?

On paper, yes. In the Destin parcel file, all thirty carry 840 square feet of living area. That file gives no bedroom counts, so a listing whose stated size or layout differs is worth a question before an offer.

Does FEMA put Poolside Villas in Zone AE?

Partly. Roughly half the grounds fall in Zone AE and roughly half in shaded Zone X, so the 8 foot base flood elevation reaches only one of the two halves. Because thirty units share one drawn outline, only a structure's elevation certificate shows which zone it is in.

Who is the owners' association at Poolside Villas?

The state registry shows an active not-for-profit by the name Poolside Villas Owners' Association, Inc., filed July 29, 1985 and reinstated June 22, 1993. A registry entry shows no fees, covered units or amenities; to learn what an owner pays for, and whether a pool is part of it, read the declaration and the current budget.

Does the assessor's 1985 date apply to every Poolside Villas unit?

Every one of the thirty units carries 1985 as its actual year built in Destin's parcel file. That figure is the assessor's; Florida's milestone inspection law starts its clock from the building official's first clearance of the building, not from this entry.
