How the building is trading
Fewer than three units closed here in the trailing 12 months - too thin a sample to publish reliable statistics. Ask us for a hand-built sales review instead.
Two floor plans share this name, and the split is lopsided: 28 units are listed at 958 square feet and eight, the ones ending in 01 and 09 on every level, at 1,421. A median across the whole building therefore mostly describes the smaller plan, while one larger-unit closing can pull a short period's figures well away from it. Compare each unit only with its own size group, then weigh level and view as the listing describes them, because the leading digit of each unit number hints at four levels though nothing loaded confirms a floor count. Every unit carries the same 2002 building year, so age will not separate sales here; renovation condition and whether parking or storage is assigned are likelier to. Nor does the flood map help sort them; the whole property reads as one zone.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 12, 2025 through November 12, 2026.

The rental analysis is for signed-in readers
We publish each home's rental analysis on the signed-in side of the site, not on the open page. With a free account you will find, on the individual listings here that qualify, how rentals similar to that home perform: the average daily rate, occupancy, typical stay and booking window. The segment's daily rate, occupancy and tracked-rental count stay public on this page.

These are benchmarks for a segment of comparable rentals, not a finding about Emerald Waters Beachside. What a unit here may actually do is set by documents, and there are three of them. The recorded declaration sets any minimum lease term. The association's current rules can add stay-length minimums, rental caps, or owner-occupancy requirements the local code does not impose, and a board can change them after a purchase. The city or county that governs this address runs its own short-term-rental registration requirements over both. Request all three in their current form from the association and the local government during diligence, before purchasing with rental income in mind.
Rental rules on the MLS today: 2 of 2 active listings disclose"Short Term Rental - Allowed". Always verify the association's current policy.

Where do these numbers come from?
Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and refreshed on a 30-day cycle. Based on information from ECAR for the period November 12, 2025 through November 12, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows building-level statistics only - ask us for the unit-by-unitsold report and we'll walk you through it.
How are thin samples handled?
Any figure computed from fewer than three sales is withheld rather than published - a one-sale "median" is just that sale's price. Counts always show; prices earn their way onto the page.
