Living in Pelican Cove Townhomes
Okaloosa County's parcel layer groups 18 parcels under series 01-2S-24-4818, all legally named Pelican Cove, and together they cover 1.75 acres. Seventeen are townhouse lots. The eighteenth is a 0.91-acre common area, slightly more than half the plat. Ten lots carry odd Placid Drive numbers from 2381 to 2399, five carry even numbers from 2384 to 2392, and Lots 16 and 17 are addressed 941 and 939 Harrelson Drive. The county dates every one of the seventeen homes to 1997.
In the USGS hydrography, Choctawhatchee Bay meets the common-area parcel and no lot, so the drawn water reaches the shared ground before any homesite, and Lots 1 through 9 sit about 38 to 49 feet back from that drawn shoreline. Four lot legals name a boat slip: Lot 1 with slip 4, Lot 2 with slip 3, Lot 3 with slip 6 and Lot 14 with slip 2. The county prints an abbreviated legal for each parcel, and Lot 7's added metes-and-bounds strip is visibly cut off mid-call, so silence on the other thirteen lots does not prove they hold no slip. That question is settled by the recorded deed and any slip assignment for the specific lot.
FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer puts special flood hazard ground on all seventeen lots, though not evenly. Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation covers the whole of Lots 1 through 9 and part of Lot 10, while the rest of Lot 10 and all of Lots 11 and 12 carry the 9-foot figure. Lots 13 through 15 are mostly AE at 9 feet with shaded Zone X, the 0.2 percent annual chance area, along part of each, and the two Harrelson Drive lots reverse that split, keeping AE on only about an eighth of their ground. The common area adds Zone VE at 13 feet across roughly an eighth of its own parcel.
Fort Walton Beach is the postal name only: the county's city-limit layer returns unincorporated ground at a point inside each of the 18 parcels, so no city boundary contains the plat. Listing records searched on September 24, 2026 tie ten closed sales to the Pelican Cove name, the earliest on January 31, 2016 and the latest on June 22, 2025, and show no home for sale that day. For the common area, the tax roll's owner of record reads Pelican Cove Owners Assc. Florida's corporation registry lists a not-for-profit corporation called Pelican Cove Owners Association, filed September 22, 1997 and active as of October 17, 2026, with a principal address on Placid Drive inside the subdivision. That entry is silent on upkeep duties, charges, who may tie up at a numbered slip and what leasing limits apply, so the recorded declaration and the association itself have to answer those.

Pelican Cove Townhomes FAQ
How much is the HOA fee at Pelican Cove Townhomes?
No HOA fee for Pelican Cove Townhomes has been reported on the MLS in our records. Whether a home belongs to an association, and what it charges, is set by that home's recorded covenants, so ask a licensed real estate agent or the association about the home you are considering.
Does a Pelican Cove townhome come with a boat slip?
Some do on paper. The county's legal text pairs slip 4 with Lot 1, slip 3 with Lot 2, slip 6 with Lot 3 and slip 2 with Lot 14. The other thirteen lots show no slip wording, but those legals are shortened, so ask for the vesting deed on the exact lot and any slip assignment before treating a slip as part of the sale.
Is Pelican Cove on Placid Drive inside the Fort Walton Beach city limits?
No. The plat lies outside every municipal boundary the county maps, and a point sampled inside each of its 18 parcels lands on unincorporated ground. The Fort Walton Beach 32547 address they all carry is how mail is routed, not which government has jurisdiction.
Which Pelican Cove lots sit wholly in FEMA Zone AE?
Lots 1 through 12. Lots 1 to 9 map entirely at a 10-foot base flood elevation, Lots 11 and 12 at 9 feet, and Lot 10 is split between the two. Lots 13 through 17 also hold AE ground but share their parcels with shaded Zone X, and the Harrelson Drive pair, 939 and 941, are mostly shaded X. An elevation certificate for the unit shows how its floor compares with those figures.
What year were the Pelican Cove townhouses built?
The county records 1997 as both the actual and the effective build year for all seventeen homes, so the field cannot separate one unit from another. It also says nothing about later roofs, interiors or storm repairs, which only the unit's own records can show.
How large are the Pelican Cove lots compared with the common area?
The county draws the lots at 1,743 to 4,260 square feet. Lot 10, the largest, is the one whose legal adds a portion of the common area, and Lot 1 follows at 3,077 square feet. The common-area parcel itself measures 0.91 acre, more ground than all seventeen lots combined.
