About Tropical Isle

Tropical Isle sits at 683 Nautilus Court with a Fort Walton Beach mailing address. Its 00-2S-24-5071 parcel series on the statewide roll runs to 31 unit parcels, all condominium-coded with one residence apiece and all recording 1996 for actual and effective year built. Sixteen unit numbers fall in the 100s, from 100 through 115, and fifteen in the 200s, from 201 through 215.

Recorded living areas run from 283 to 720 square feet across eight figures. Four parcels record 283, five record 454, seven record 484, two record 493, eight record 511, one records 594, two record 623 and two record 720. The 720 figure appears only among the 200s numbers, while 594 and 623 appear only among the 100s.

Despite the Fort Walton Beach address, Census place boundaries leave this ground outside every city, so Okaloosa County is its local government. FEMA's map cuts the shared outline into Zone AE at 8 feet, covering roughly a third of it, a small area of Zone AO, and the remainder in Zone X, in the band marked 0.2 percent annual chance. The state's coastal construction control line layer returned no line crossing the outline. All 31 parcels share one drawn shape, so none of this places a particular residence.

The state's Division of Corporations files Tropical Isle Condominium Owners Association, Inc. as N96000005152, dated October 8, 1996, the same year the roll gives for the buildings, with 683 Nautilus Court as the principal address and an active status. Its current mailing address is in Destin rather than at the property, which matters when requesting records. The filing carries no budget, reserve, insurance or leasing terms.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Tropical Isle?

As of November 11, 2026, based on one listing on the MLS, the reported HOA fee at Tropical Isle is $480 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.

Based on one active MLS listing that reports an HOA fee. See the listings

With 31 units ranging from 283 to 720 square feet, ask whether the declaration divides shared costs by recorded share or equally, and read the budget with that answer beside it. A project or an insurance change reaches only 31 owners, so request the reserve schedule, the contracts behind recent work, current policy declarations with the deductible allocation, claim history, and any assessment notice or minutes. The registry's mailing address is in Destin rather than at the property; ask who keeps the records and how a buyer requests them.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: not yet confirmed for this building.

Nobody has read Tropical Isle's leasing terms. Start with the county's owner guidance. It names a state vacation rental license. It names the tourist development tax. Stays up to six months owe it. It also names a Growth Management check for restricted parts of Okaloosa Island. Whether that check reaches Tropical Isle is not known yet. Skip the old listing. Check Tropical Isle's declaration, plus amendments, for stay minimums and approval rights. Then ask the association about guest registration and parking.

Building Answers

Tropical Isle FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Tropical Isle?

As of November 11, 2026, based on one listing on the MLS, the reported HOA fee at Tropical Isle is $480 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.

When was Tropical Isle built, and when was its association formed?

All 31 parcels record 1996 for actual and effective year built, and Florida's registry shows the owners association filed on October 8, 1996. The roll's year is an assessment record rather than a permit date, so the declaration and plat are the place to confirm it.

Which flood zone covers Tropical Isle at 683 Nautilus Court?

FEMA maps Zone AE at 8 feet across roughly a third of the shared outline, a small area of Zone AO, and Zone X, the 0.2 percent annual chance band, over the rest. Because all 31 parcels carry the same drawn shape, an elevation certificate for the specific unit is what answers it.
