Wendwood Homes for Sale

Living in Wendwood

Bay County's parcel roll files Wendwood as 64 condominium unit parcels plus one common-area parcel, all at 17642 Front Beach Road. The units fall into eight lettered groups, A, B, D, E, F, G, H and I, with no group C, and each group holds eight units numbered 1 through 8. The legal lines describe only two plans, repeated in every group: one bedroom and one bath with 689 square feet of heated and cooled area for units 2, 3, 6 and 7, and two bedrooms and two baths with 963 square feet for units 1, 4, 5 and 8. Those figures come from abbreviated roll text (H&C, read here as heated and cooled square feet), and the roll's own bedroom, bathroom and area fields are all zero, so they are not measured floor plans. The roll shows a construction year of zero on all 65 records, so this page states no building age.

Some legal lines carry earlier unit labels. Twenty-four of them add an old designator in parentheses: today's group D was group A, F was C, and I was F. Inside D and F the numbers were reshuffled as well, so the unit now called F-1 is recorded as old C-4. Phase wording is uneven too. Phase I appears on groups A, B and I, Phase II on group D alone, and groups E through H carry neither. The common-area legal says it was taken out of parcel numbers 38373-017 and 38373-018, and ten single-family parcels whose legal lines name Wells Gulf Beach Estates adjoin Wendwood and carry the same 17642 street number, so the address alone does not isolate this property.

A point placed inside each of the 65 parcels returned Panama City Beach from Bay County's municipal layer every time, so city rules apply across the whole property. The city's vacation rental page defines a rental to include a condominium unit let more than three times a year for under 30 days and requires a certificate within city limits. That certificate is a city requirement and shows nothing about what the Wendwood declaration permits. On FEMA's national flood map, 56 parcels sit only in Zone X, minimal flood hazard, and nine touch an unnumbered Zone A strip at the northern end: units A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, D-1, E-1, F-1 and I-1, plus the common-area parcel. Bay County's own flood layer disagrees and shades a larger area, 22 units and the common area, as zone AE. The national layer is the one used here, and a flood determination for the individual unit is worth requesting before an offer.

An active Florida not-for-profit corporation filed December 10, 1992, with its address at 17642 Front Beach Road and an annual report dated March 9, 2026, appears in the state registry as Wendwood Condominium Owners Association, Inc. Florida's 2026 condominium statute names the recorded declaration, bylaws, current rules, insurance policies, accounting records, structural integrity reserve studies and structural inspection reports among the association's official records. A search of the listing data under the Wendwood name on September 24, 2026 returned no active listings and eleven closings between January 2017 and June 2025, eight labeled condominium and three townhouse, although the county roll files every unit as a condominium.
