Living in Sandalwood Manor
Two recorded plats make up Sandalwood Manor. Sandalwood Manor Townhomes, Plat Book 6, page 59 (1981), is a one-acre resubdivision of part of Sea Hills Fourth Addition with 12 lots. Sandalwood Manor Townhomes First Addition, Plat Book 6, page 93, filed March 23, 1982, is titled a 60 unit addition and numbers its lots 13 through 72. The City of Destin plat index links both, and also links separate plats named Sandalwood Townhomes and Sandalwood Townhomes Phase 2, which are not part of the 60 parcels counted here. The county's map puts series 2166 and series 2167 entirely inside the City of Destin, all 60 parcels.
The county files them as SANDALWOOD MANOR T/H (series 2166, 12 parcels) and SANDALWOOD MANOR 1ST ADDN (series 2167, 48 parcels), all labeled SFR/TOWNHOUSE. That is 60 parcels against 72 platted lots: no parcel legal description in the second series mentions lots 25 through 34, and several parcels are written as fractions or combinations of lots, so a parcel count is not a count of platted townhomes.
Build years run from 1982 to 2005 (54 in the 1980s, 6 in the 2000s), and parcels run from 0.06 to 0.12 acre, 4.13 acres in all.
County address records list 64 addresses, all Destin 32541: Sandalwood Drive (43) and Sandalwood Court (21). Sixty match the 60 parcels. The other four, 602, 604, 606 and 608 Sandalwood Drive, carry parcel numbers ending 0310 through 0340 that return no parcel in the county's parcel file.
In series 2166 and 2167 alike, the county flood layer shows Zone X, FEMA's minimal flood hazard label, and no other zone for any of the 60 outlines. Townhome outlines are small, but the result is still about mapped ground, not any unit's elevation or insurance. The records behind this page are silent on a shared association, party-wall arrangements and rental limits for the townhomes.
