About Emerald Waters Beachside

The 36 condominium units of Emerald Waters Beachside are addressed 1952 Scenic Gulf Drive, in Miramar Beach and unincorporated Walton County. Unit numbers run 101 through 109, 201 through 209, 301 through 309 and 401 through 409, and the state roll lists a 2002 building year for every one of them. The shared land is a separate common parcel of about 2.2 acres on the county map, addressed on the state roll at 1942 Scenic Gulf Drive.

Two sizes make up the building. The eight units ending in 01 or 09 on each hundred-series are listed at 1,421 square feet of living area, and the other 28 at 958 square feet. Those figures come from the state roll alone, so check a unit against its listing and the recorded plan. The leading digit of each unit number hints at four levels, yet nothing loaded here counts floors.

No parcel touches the Gulf. The nearest edge is between 300 and 400 feet from the Gulf outline in the Census Bureau's water layer, which draws shorelines coarsely, and all 37 parcels lie within 500 feet of it. In the national flood map the property reads as one block of Zone X, FEMA's minimal-hazard class, covering units and common land. Dues, reserves, insurance terms, parking and storage rights and leasing rules are not in any record opened, so the declaration and current budget remain the documents to request.

What is the HOA fee at Emerald Waters Beachside?

As of November 11, 2026, the 2 Emerald Waters Beachside condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $933 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 2 active MLS listings that report an HOA fee.

The county roll names Emerald Waters Beachside COA Inc as owner of the common parcel, and that is the only association record loaded for this page; the association's state corporate filing was not confirmed. The roll shows who holds the shared land, not what members owe or what the association has set aside. Request the declaration, amendments, current budget, reserve information, insurance summary, minutes and assessment notices from the association before relying on listing shorthand.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

Every one of the 36 Emerald Waters Beachside units is filed as a condo parcel in county records. Condos are excluded, says the county FAQ. It also names certain condos as exempt. It never names Emerald Waters Beachside, so ask the county directly. Emerald Waters Beachside's own declaration, amendments and rules have not been checked either. Compare the rental line in any listing with what those documents say. Get the county's answer in writing too.

Building Answers

Emerald Waters Beachside FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Emerald Waters Beachside?

As of November 11, 2026, the 2 Emerald Waters Beachside condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $933 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.

How many units are in Emerald Waters Beachside, and which ones are larger?

There are 36 condominium units. The eight whose numbers end in 01 or 09 on every level are listed at 1,421 square feet on the state roll, and the other 28 at 958 square feet. The common land is a separate parcel and is not counted as a unit.

When were the Emerald Waters Beachside units built according to public records?

The state roll shows 2002 as the actual year built on all 36 unit parcels, and the common parcel carries none. That is a roll entry rather than a permit or plat date, so confirm it against recorded documents if the exact age matters to you.

Is Emerald Waters Beachside on the beach?

No parcel touches the Gulf. The nearest edge is between 300 and 400 feet from the Gulf outline in the Census Bureau's water layer, which draws shorelines coarsely, so this page does not call the building beachfront. Any beach access would come from recorded documents that were not opened.

Which FEMA zone covers 1952 Scenic Gulf Drive?

Zone X, labeled minimal flood hazard, covers all 37 parcels, and no base flood elevation is attached. Because the property is mapped as a single zone, the map alone cannot tell one unit's insurance picture from another's, so ask for the unit's own flood and insurance documents.

Does a city or Walton County govern the Emerald Waters Beachside address?

No mapped city limit covers this address, which leaves Walton County as the government that applies to 1952 Scenic Gulf Drive, even though the postal name is Miramar Beach. The answer concerns jurisdiction only and says nothing about the association's own rules.
