About SunDestin Beach Resort
SunDestin Beach Resort stands at 1040 Highway 98 East in Destin, and two independent public records give the address in exactly that form: Florida's corporate registry carries it as the principal address of SunDestin International Condominium Owners' Association, Inc., and the state's own tourism listing for the resort publishes it identically. The association's state record is the clearest public fact pattern this building has: a Florida not-for-profit corporation, document number N06265, filed November 20, 1984, still listed as active, with annual reports on file for report years 2024, 2025 and 2026. That legal name settles a listing question too, since rows reading SunDestin International Condo are describing this same building rather than a second one nearby. The county's own condominium list carries this parcel with 279 platted residences and an actual year built of 1984, filed under its central Destin area grouping, which makes the tower one of the older high-rises standing on that stretch. The same county system supplies the height from an agency record rather than a brochure: its addressing file places the residences on levels numbered one through eighteen, skipping the thirteenth in the usual way, and the counts differ from level to level rather than repeating one value, which is what separates a measured height from a placeholder. Eighteen levels puts this building well inside the three-story threshold that Florida's milestone inspection and structural reserve rules turn on. What none of that settles is the cost of holding a unit here, so pull the association's operating budget, its insurance summaries, and its structural reserve study before an offer goes in.
HOA & Fees
What is the HOA fee at SunDestin Beach Resort?
As of November 11, 2026, the 11 SunDestin Beach Resort condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $1,108 to $1,122 a month, with a median of $1,108 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.

Public records establish the governing body and stop there. Florida registered SunDestin International Condominium Owners' Association, Inc. as a not-for-profit corporation in November 1984, still lists it as active, and shows its annual reports current through 2026. None of that reveals a dollar. The numbers come from the association itself: its operating budget sets the assessment, its insurance summaries show what the master policies actually carry, and its structural reserve study shows how well the building funds its own repairs.
Rental Policy
Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.
Only two papers answer the rental question at SunDestin Beach Resort. One is the recorded declaration. The other is today's board rules. Neither is posted publicly. Destin's city registration is a separate step on top of them. Read the building's papers first. Then ask the city about the unit. A rental history you are shown is a record of the past at SunDestin, not a permission for the future. Ask the board for its current rules.

Building Answers
SunDestin Beach Resort FAQ
How much is the HOA fee at SunDestin Beach Resort?
As of November 11, 2026, the 11 SunDestin Beach Resort condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $1,108 to $1,122 a month, with a median of $1,108 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.
Where does SunDestin Beach Resort sit in Destin?
At 1040 Highway 98 East, in Okaloosa County. Two independent public records give the address in that exact form: the association's filing with the Florida Division of Corporations, and the state's tourism listing for the resort. The county property appraiser files the parcel in its central Destin group, alongside the other high-rises on that stretch of the highway.
What does the public record establish about SunDestin's association?
Its name, its age, and its standing, and nothing at all about money. Florida registered SunDestin International Condominium Owners' Association, Inc. as a not-for-profit corporation on November 20, 1984 under document number N06265, still lists it as active, and shows annual reports on file for report years 2024, 2025 and 2026. The same filing gives the principal address as 1040 Highway 98 East. Assessments, master policy coverage, and reserve funding appear nowhere in that record and have to be requested from the association itself.
Are vacation rentals part of how SunDestin operates?
Not answerable from anything published. The building's rental terms live in documents the association holds and does not post, so this page states none of them. What is established is only the municipal step: Destin requires short term rentals to be registered with the city, and any unit here let on a nightly or weekly basis falls under it. Two documents settle it and neither is online: the recorded declaration, and whatever rule set the board has in force today. Request both from the association, then verify the registration on the specific residence.
