Sunset Beach Homes for Sale

Living in Sunset Beach

Okaloosa County's subdivision map carries several plats with Sunset Beach in the name, and only one is this page. It lies in section 10, township 2S, range 24, under parcel series 10-2S-24-2400. Seven others sit in section 27, township 1S, range 22: two Sunset Beach phases, two Sunset Beach Estates phases, Fairway Villas at Sunset Beach and two Coach Homes plats, several of them tagged BWB for Bluewater Bay. The only plat that touches this Sunset Beach on the county map is Sunset Strip, series 10-2S-24-2410, and the legal description for the parcel at 624 Russell Boulevard covers ground in both; at about 0.51 acre it is well above every other block H parcel, none of which reaches a third of an acre.

The county's parcel layer counts 49 parcels in the series, lettered in blocks A through H. Forty-seven are coded single-family. The two multi-family parcels are both in block D, and the address layer gives them ten apartments at 602 Russell Boulevard and six at 235 Beulah Street, so that layer returns 63 addresses for the 49 parcels. Not one of the 49 legal descriptions is a single whole lot: most split lots into halves or strips or join part of one lot to the next, as with lot 1 and the east half of lot 2 in block B, three run several whole lots together, and block A is largely described by metes and bounds, so a tally of platted lot numbers will not match the parcel count.

County years built run from 1950 to 2025, with 41 of the 49 in the 1970s, and the spread follows the blocks. All 36 parcels in blocks E through H were built in 1975 or 1976, on lots of about 0.19 to 0.30 acre except the 0.51 acre parcel at 624 Russell Boulevard. Block D's apartment parcels date from 1952 and 1968. The ten parcels in blocks A and B are the mixed group: 1950 at 601 Russell Boulevard, two from 1965, four from the 1970s, one each from 1989 and 2004, and a house recorded as built in 2025 at 502 Van Buren Street, on lots of about 0.15 to 0.54 acre.

Those ten are also the parcels at the water. On the U.S. Geological Survey's hydrography map each comes within about 5 feet of the mapped edge of Cinco Bayou, while no other parcel gets closer than about 170 feet. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer puts Zone AE, base flood elevation 10 feet, on part of every one of the ten, from roughly 28 percent to about 93 percent of the ground, with shaded and unshaded Zone X on the rest; eight further parcels, in blocks F and G, take in shaded Zone X, FEMA's band for a flood with a one-in-500 chance in any year, and the remaining 31 sit entirely in unshaded Zone X. Every address reads Fort Walton Beach 32547, yet the county's city-limits map returns unincorporated Okaloosa County inside all 49 parcels. None of these records establishes an association, a shared amenity, a right to use the shoreline or any rental term.
