About The Grand Sandestin

This page covers one building: the 168 residences Walton County's roll carries at 9500 Grand Sandestin Boulevard, numbered 2100 through 2911 across nine blocks. They are not the whole condominium. The recorded name The Grand Sandestin reaches a second street number, 9600, where a further 96 residences stand and are marketed under the name LaSata; those have their own page here and are deliberately left out of the count above, so that the same residence is never counted twice. Taken together the recorded condominium is 264 residences under one declaration and one association. That association was chartered as a Florida not-for-profit corporation in June 2003 under the full name The Grand Sandestin at Baytowne Wharf Condominium Association, keeps its registered principal address at this street number, and is administered from Grand Boulevard. Its filed officer list carries something most condominium boards do not. Alongside a president, a vice president, a secretary and a director sits a seat recorded as the resort company's representative. What that seat can and cannot do is a matter for the declaration and the bylaws, and it is the first thing a buyer here should ask to read. The association also holds property beyond the residences: two common-area entries, one filed against the 9600 address and one out on Inspiration Drive, plus a small club parcel at 9601 that the roll classes the way it classes clubs and lodges.

HOA & Fees

Read the condominium's documents and the master association's separately, because they answer different questions. This association governs the residences, the parcels it holds, and whatever the declaration assigns it, and its budget is written for both street numbers rather than for this building alone. One holding is worth naming, because it is the rare facility around here that a community's own association actually owns: the roll records the club parcel at 9601 Grand Sandestin Boulevard, a little under a tenth of an acre, to this association, in the assessment class the state uses for clubs and lodges. Ownership is settled; what use of it a particular residence carries, and on what terms, is written in the declaration and nowhere else, so ask for that before treating it as included. Above the condominium, every owner in the resort is billed yearly by the Sandestin Owners Association, and that body applies the money to a list it publishes and does not extend: most master stormwater drainage, the bicycle and walking paths, most roadways, landscaping of the common properties with the master irrigation systems, lake maintenance, security, sanitation, its architectural review board, and two swimming pool facilities. It states that none of that money finds its way back into the resort company's own operations, or into the amenities that company owns and runs. On the far side of that line sit the resort company's own businesses, the courses, the courts, the rental bicycles, the chairs and umbrellas on the sand, and the beach club itself, each of them a membership and not a deeded right. The filed board seat for the resort company's representative is a third thing again, and belongs on the diligence list beside the two budgets.

Rental Policy

This page does not tell anyone what a residence here may be used for. The recorded declaration and bylaws answer that, the resort maintains its own registration and access procedure for arriving guests, and Walton County requires short-term rentals to be registered with it. Obtain all three answers in writing, and note that the two street numbers on this property can complicate a records search.

  • One hundred sixty-eight residences at 9500 Grand Sandestin Boulevard
  • Nine designator blocks running from 2100 to 2911
  • A club parcel at 9601 held by the condominium association
  • A board seat filed for the resort company's representative

Building Answers

The Grand Sandestin FAQ

Why does this page count 168 when the condominium is larger?

Because the recorded condominium covers two buildings and this page covers one of them. The roll puts 168 residences at 9500 Grand Sandestin Boulevard and 96 at 9600, all 264 under the same recorded name and the same association, and the 96 are the ones sold under the LaSata name and described on their own page. Publishing 264 here and 96 there would count the same residences twice, so the figure above is this street number only. For anything that follows the declaration rather than the address, the reserve study, the budget, a special assessment, the number that matters is 264.

What is the club parcel at 9601, and does it come with a residence?

The assessment roll records a parcel at 9601 Grand Sandestin Boulevard, a little under a tenth of an acre, owned by this condominium's own association and classed the way the state classes clubs and lodges. That ownership is worth knowing precisely because most of what looks like an amenity around this resort is not owned by any neighbourhood association at all: the courses, the courts, the bicycles, the beach service and the beach club are the resort company's businesses, sold as memberships. This parcel is the exception, held by the association owners here belong to. What it does not tell you is what rights attach to any particular residence, which only the declaration and the bylaws answer.

Who sits on the board besides owners?

The association's filed officer list includes a seat recorded as the resort company's representative, alongside the president, vice president, secretary and director. That is a disclosed governance arrangement rather than a hidden one, but its powers live in the declaration and bylaws, not in the corporate filing, so read those documents before drawing conclusions about how decisions here are made.

What is not published on this page, and why?

No construction year and no story count. Walton County's condominium unit parcels come back from the state cadastral file with the year-built field empty, and nothing published by an agency gives this building a floor count, so both are omitted rather than borrowed from a listing site. The near miss is instructive: the association's club parcel at 9601 is not a condominium unit, and it carries a year of 2004 on the same roll where all 168 residences return nothing. That figure dates the club parcel's improvement and is no evidence of when the residences went up, so it is not published as one. The association was chartered in June 2003, which likewise dates the corporation and not the structure. Ask the association directly for the building's age, its inspection status and its reserve position.
