About The Ultimate
The Ultimate is a Destin condominium made up of twenty-one parcels at 280 Gulf Shore Drive, all with a 1996 build date in the Department of Revenue's file. Two layouts cover every home: 2,630 square feet for most, 2,266 for the rest. The residence labels run three to a level, which suggests three homes on each floor. FEMA's map puts five flood designations on the ground, VE at 14 and 12 feet and AE at 10, 9 and 8 feet. VE is the class the agency reserves for coastal land where storm waves compound the flooding, which is what separates it from the AE areas on the same parcel.
