About Beachcrest

Beachcrest was declared in 1988 as one building holding seventy apartments on about 2.97 acres, and the legal description in that declaration runs south from the right-of-way of State Road 30-A, which the recorded plat labels Walton County Road C-30-A, to the mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico. The recorded plat carries a floor plan sheet for every level from the ground floor through the twelfth, and the apartment numbers follow that ladder: 101 through 104 on the ground floor, then six per floor from 201 up to 1206. The 1988 prospectus describes all seventy as identical two-bedroom, two-bath apartments with a balcony.

The commonly used facilities listed in that prospectus are an unheated swimming pool, a ten-person elevator, an association office and an equipment room on the ground floor, and a parking facility with 104 spaces for the seventy apartments. The rules printed with it assigned no individual spaces. What stands there today may differ from that 1988 list, so the association's current rules and budget govern.

County records agree on the count. The property roll lists 70 condominium residences and one common-area parcel, dates every residence to 1988, and files the address under Santa Rosa Beach, although the declaration places the project in the Seagrove Beach area. The county's parcel outlines total about 2.7 acres, somewhat less than the declared 2.97. The Census Bureau's current incorporated-place boundaries show no city over this ground, so the property sits in unincorporated Walton County.

Federal flood mapping splits the tract. Roughly 45 percent falls in the VE coastal zone, with mapped elevations of 11, 12 and 15 feet, and the other 55 percent is Zone X. Those shares describe ground, not apartments, and say nothing about how high any floor stands. Separately, twelve stories and a 1988 date put the tower inside the state milestone inspection rule. It passed its thirtieth year before mid-2022, so the first inspection had to be performed before December 31, 2024, with a repeat every ten years, and the clock runs from the certificate of occupancy, which this page has not seen.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Beachcrest?

No HOA fee for Beachcrest has been reported on the MLS in our records. The association sets the fee by unit, so ask it for the current figure for the unit you are considering.

Under the 1988 declaration, the nonprofit owners' association maintains the common property and collects assessments, each apartment casts one vote, and the common property and common expenses are divided equally among the seventy apartments, so a ground-floor unit and a twelfth-floor unit carry the same recorded share. How the association is run today is not in that record. Request the current budget, the reserve schedule, the inspection report a twelve-story tower owes, recent minutes, an insurance summary and every amendment recorded after 1988. The 1988 operating budget lists elevator service, pool care and fire alarm maintenance among the association's costs, which is a reason to ask how elevator and exterior work is being funded now.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association. The 1988 recorded declaration permits stays by the day or longer; later amendments not checked.

The 1988 Beachcrest declaration sits at Official Records Book 541, page 179. It confines each apartment to residential or rental use. The text adds that renting may run by the day or over a longer term. The same article asks owners to follow the laws, zoning, and rules of every government with authority there. That wording is 38 years old. Amendments recorded since have not been checked. Walton County's registration currently omits condos. State and tourist tax registrations remain. Before trusting a listing's rental wording, check the current association rules for that exact Beachcrest apartment.

Building Answers

Beachcrest FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Beachcrest?

No HOA fee for Beachcrest has been reported on the MLS in our records. The association sets the fee by unit, so ask it for the current figure for the unit you are considering.

How many stories and apartments does Beachcrest have?

The recorded plat shows floor plans from the ground floor through the twelfth, and the declaration describes one building with seventy apartments. Four sit on the ground floor and six on each of the eleven floors above, which matches the 70 residence parcels on the county roll beside one common-area parcel.

Is Beachcrest directly on the Gulf of Mexico?

The legal description in the 1988 declaration runs from the State Road 30-A right-of-way south to the mean high water line of the Gulf, so the recorded tract reaches the water. The county's parcel outline is smaller than the declared 2.97 acres and shorelines move, so use a current survey for the beach side of any apartment.

What does the Beachcrest declaration say about renting an apartment?

As recorded in 1988, each apartment is restricted to residential or rental use, and rental may be daily or for a longer term. That is the original text only. Any later amendment, the association's present rules and the county and state filings for the exact apartment are separate questions this page did not answer.

When was Beachcrest built, and has its milestone inspection come due?

The county roll dates all seventy residences to 1988, and the recorded prospectus targeted completion for August 15, 1988, although one article of the declaration prints 1985. The 2026 statute reaches buildings of three habitable stories or more, and a tower past its thirtieth year before July 2022 had to complete its initial milestone inspection before December 31, 2024. Ask the association for the filed report.

What flood zone is Beachcrest in?

On the national flood map, close to half of the Beachcrest tract is Zone VE and the rest is Zone X. The VE ground carries elevations of 11, 12 and 15 feet. Those shares measure land, common ground included, and cannot say which zone any one floor sits in, so ask for an elevation certificate and the association's insurance summary.
