Living in Gulf Winds East

Gulf Winds East is a townhome development on one recorded plat, Plat Book 5, Page 41, filed in April 1980 and drawn with two common-area parcels labeled A and B. Walton County files it as two phases. Phase I, parcel series 30-2S-21-42410, has 28 lots numbered 1 through 28, and its header reads 28 units. Phase II, series 30-2S-21-42420, has 24 lots numbered 29 through 52, and its header reads 24 units. Every lot's legal text carries a one-fifty-second interest in the common elements, which is why the 52 read as one community, and every address is 2800 Scenic Gulf Drive with a unit number from 1 to 52, Miramar Beach 32550.

Each townhome lot is a footprint of about 1,000 square feet; the ground around the buildings is common. The county roll files that common ground as one parcel, owned by Gulf Winds East Ph I and drawn in two pieces of 1.70 acres and 0.72 acre, and the smaller piece lies south of every lot. The plat describes its Parcel A as running to the mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico.

The 2026 state roll lists 51 of the 52 lots. All 28 Phase I townhomes are dated 1980, with 1,374 to 1,443 square feet of living area, and all 23 Phase II townhomes on the roll are dated 1981, at 1,443 square feet each. Lot 47 appears in the county file as a townhouse with no owner name or legal text and has no row on the state roll, so check its record by hand before matching a sale to it.

Flood mapping splits this property in two. Every townhome footprint falls wholly inside Zone X (minimal hazard) on FEMA's layer and the county's, but the common ground does not: its 0.72-acre piece lies wholly in Zone VE, the coastal high hazard class, with bands labeled 12 and 15 feet, while the 1.70-acre piece stays in Zone X. Neither map says anything about one unit's floor height, which is a matter for a unit survey.

The county's layer of neighborhood-plan, planned-development and community-district overlays has no feature over any of the 54 outlines here, so nothing in it governs these lots beyond the base zoning. The plat points to a recorded declaration of covenants, easements, conditions and restrictions for the common areas, which these records do not reproduce. State filings show Gulf Winds East Owners' Association, Inc., incorporated September 10, 1980, reinstated September 29, 2021 and registered at 2800 Scenic Gulf Drive, and also a separate Gulf Winds East Condominium Association, Inc., both active. Which of the two bills these townhomes, and what either charges or allows, rentals included, is not shown by anything cited.

Against 52 homes across two phases, the August 20, 2026 pull for this name shows 4 active listings and 22 completed sales in Miramar Beach. Its denominator is 52, not 24, and it pictures one day rather than today's supply.

On the same road, Costa Del Sol's townhouses also carry a 1980 build year on the roll and a Scenic Gulf Drive address, which makes them a natural check against a Phase I unit here. Closings from both Gulf Winds East phases are pooled on the Gulf Winds East market page; for the town as a whole, try current Miramar Beach listings or the full list of Miramar Beach neighborhoods for homes beyond these 52 units at 2800 Scenic Gulf Drive.
