About Beachside Villas

The Walton County property roll records 120 condominium units at 11 Beachside Drive, spread across twelve numbered buildings holding ten residences each. Every building's designators run through a third level, four residences on the first and three on each of the two above, which is why this reads as a neighborhood of separate structures rather than one long facade, and why walking the specific building matters more here than at a property where all the residences share a roof. The setting is a matter of record rather than atmosphere. The water on the north side is state-owned, and the parcel record is specific about which piece of it touches: the parcel the state holds under the recorded name Lake Tresca meets the community's northern boundary, while the state's separately recorded Eastern Lake parcel lies beyond it. Florida's coastal dune lakes are a landform the state describes as occurring in only a handful of places on earth, and this community sits directly against one. On the south side the ground is not the community's: a Chivas Bluff Estates lot on Chivas Lane begins within about five feet of the southern line, Sugar Dunes Condominium's apartments about 50 feet out, and several hundred feet of separately titled ground lies between the villas and the last recorded parcel line before the sand. How much depends where you stand along the community's own line, since that southern edge is not straight. The public route to the water is a parcel the county holds under the recorded name Walton County Beach Access at 104 Beachfront Trail, whose nearest recorded ground is about 380 feet due east of the community. Federal flood mapping divides this property much the way ownership does: all 120 residence parcels fall in the minimal flood hazard zone, while two pieces of the association's own common ground are mapped inside the special flood hazard area, the larger along the northern boundary against the lakes at a base flood elevation of 8 feet and a narrow strip on the west side at 10 feet.

HOA & Fees

Twelve structures answer to one association, and that count is the number to hold in mind while reading a budget. Florida provides that in a budget adopted by an association required to obtain a structural integrity reserve study, reserves must be maintained for the items the statute lists and the reserve amount must be based on the findings and recommendations of the association's most recent such study. A study covering twelve roofs, twelve envelopes and twelve sets of shared systems does not scale like a study covering one, and the buildings here were not necessarily inspected in the same pass. Ask which numbered buildings the current study reached and in which year, then read the reserve line against that answer rather than against a community-wide total. The association shown on the roll as holding the common areas is Beachside Villa Owners Assoc Inc. That common-area title carries an exposure the individual residences do not: federal flood mapping puts every one of the 120 residence parcels in the minimal hazard zone, but places part of the association's own common ground inside the special flood hazard area, the strip along the northern boundary against the state lake parcels at a base flood elevation of 8 feet and a narrower piece on the west side at 10 feet. Ask what the association carries on the shared property as distinct from the buildings, because that is where the mapped water risk sits and it is paid for out of the same budget as the twelve roofs.

Rental Policy

Rental use at this address answers to two authorities that do not stand in for one another. Walton County administers a registration program for unincorporated addresses, and 11 Beachside Drive is unincorporated. The association sets whatever leasing terms the declaration permits, and none of those terms appear in any record we were able to open. Ask for the recorded declaration and the rules in force before assuming a minimum stay is available here, because communities within a few miles of this one have been settled at minimums as far apart as six months and a full year.

  • State-owned Lake Tresca against the northern boundary

Building Answers

Beachside Villas FAQ

What is the water on the north side of Beachside Villas?

State-owned dune lake ground. The parcel record carries two separate holdings of the state of Florida here, one recorded as Lake Tresca and one recorded as Eastern Lake, and it is the Lake Tresca parcel that comes up against the community's northern boundary, with the Eastern Lake parcel lying beyond it. Both are part of the coastal dune lake system the state counts in this county, a landform described as occurring in only a handful of places worldwide, formed where wind redistributed sand and now separated from open water by dunes with an intermittent outlet.

Is any of the beach in front of Beachside Villas owned by the community?

No. Reading south from the villas, the recorded ground belongs to other owners from within about five feet of the community's own line: a Chivas Bluff Estates lot on Chivas Lane first, Sugar Dunes Condominium's apartments from about 50 feet out, and several hundred feet of separately titled ground in total before the last recorded parcel line above the sand, the exact depth varying along the community's own southern line rather than holding at one figure. The public route to the water is the county's own beach access parcel at 104 Beachfront Trail, whose nearest ground is about 380 feet due east.

How is Beachside Villas laid out across its site?

As twelve numbered buildings rather than a single structure, each holding ten residences over three levels, with four on the first level and three on each of the two above, and unit numbers that identify the building first and then the level. That layout is why condition, roof age and stair systems can differ from one address in the community to the next, and why a specific building is worth walking before an offer.
