Living in Isla Blanca

Isla Blanca is the series of Okaloosa County parcel numbers starting 00-2S-24-126A: nineteen unit parcels, each coded single family/townhouse and numbered Unit 1 through Unit 19, plus a twentieth parcel coded residential common area. The unit legal descriptions place the townhouses on Lots 113 to 116 of Block F, Holiday Isle. The county address layer gives every unit an address of 501 Gulf Shore Drive plus a unit number, in Destin 32541. The common-area parcel has no address row, which is why the layer returns 19 rows against 20 parcels. The City of Destin is what the county city-limits layer names at a point inside each Isla Blanca parcel, 501 Gulf Shore Drive units and common parcel alike.

The county appraiser dates all 19 units to 1975, and each unit parcel is about 0.02 acre. The common parcel covers about 0.62 acre, and its legal text reads lots 113 to 116 less townhouse units 1 to 19. The county owner roll lists Isla Blanca TH Owners Assc as its owner, and the state registry lists Isla Blanca Townhouse Owners' Association, Inc., filed September 2, 1975 and active. Neither record shows what the common parcel holds, what the association charges, or what rights come with a unit.

Isla Blanca's 20 parcels, the 19 units and the common parcel, all test as Zone AE with an 8 foot base flood elevation on the county flood layer, and FEMA's national layer reports the same at a point inside each. The common parcel's outline reaches into the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance area as well, while the nineteen unit outlines sit wholly in Zone AE. None of these readings fixes a unit's floor height or answers an insurance question.

The August 20, 2026 search of Destin listings, saved that day, tallied the Isla Blanca name at 11 sold dwellings with one still active. The record does not give the span the sold count covers, so it describes past activity rather than today's inventory.

Isla Blanca FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Isla Blanca?

As of November 11, 2026, Isla Blanca homes for sale that report a fee on the MLS list these HOA fees: townhomes, $405 a month (1 listing). Fees vary by home type and section. Some homes also belong to a sub-association for their section, and a listing's fee may cover only one association, so confirm every association a home belongs to and what each one charges.

How do I tell an Isla Blanca unit parcel from its common parcel?

Unit parcels carry a number beginning 00-2S-24-126A-0000 followed by the unit number, 0001 through 0019, and a legal description headed Unit with Isla Blanca Townhouse. The common parcel is the one whose number ends 0CA0; it carries the residential common area code and no address row.

What does the county say about the age and size of Isla Blanca units?

Each of the 19 unit parcels is dated 1975 and measures about 0.02 acre. The common parcel is about 0.62 acre and has no build year. With every unit built in the same year on a lot of the same size, neither age nor land distinguishes one unit from the next.

Why does the county address layer show 19 addresses for 20 Isla Blanca parcels?

Only the common parcel lacks an address row, which accounts for the missing twentieth address. The 19 addresses are all 501 Gulf Shore Drive with a unit number, in Destin 32541. Addresses help find a parcel, but title, occupancy and access rights need recorded documents.

Where do Isla Blanca's units land on the flood layers?

Both flood layers, the county's and FEMA's national one, classify all 20 parcels as Zone AE with an 8 foot base flood elevation when a point inside each is checked. All nineteen unit outlines are wholly inside Zone AE; only the common parcel extends as well into the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance area. That reading does not establish a unit's floor height, and it is no substitute for an insurance decision.

Does Isla Blanca have anything active, according to the August 2026 Destin listing search?

The search found a single active listing and 11 sold ones, all dwellings filed under the Isla Blanca name. The record does not give the span of the sold count, so it is a sample of past activity, and a fresh search is needed for what is available now.
