How the building is trading
10 units closed at Beachside Villas in the trailing 12 months at a median of $515,000, with a 97.7% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 3 of 8 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 9.6 months of supply at the current sales pace.
A single median here hides twelve buildings that were never maintained on one schedule. Ten residences sit under each roof, and a roof, an envelope and a stair system belong to that building rather than to the community, so two identical layouts can be worth different amounts because of what stands above and around them. Read the reserve study for which structures it actually inspected before reading a modest assessment as a modest cost. Orientation is the second sorting line, and it points inland. The state's Lake Tresca parcel meets the north boundary while several hundred feet of other owners' land lies south, so a residence facing water faces the lake. Lake outlook and walking distance to sand are separate variables at this address, and a blended average collapses them into one number that describes neither. One exposure sits outside every residence and inside the budget: the residences themselves are mapped in the minimal hazard zone, while the association's common ground along the lakes and on the west side is mapped in the special flood hazard area, so what the association insures and reserves for is where this property's water risk is actually carried.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from August 2025 through July 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through August 10, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from August 2024 through July 2026, and a month with no closings is a zero bar rather than a gap. Their last 12 months are the window the year-over-year figures compare.

The rental analysis is for signed-in readers
We publish each home's rental analysis on the signed-in side of the site, not on the open page. With a free account you will find, on the individual listings here that qualify, how rentals similar to that home perform: the average daily rate, occupancy, typical stay and booking window. The segment's daily rate, occupancy and tracked-rental count stay public on this page.

These are benchmarks for a segment of comparable rentals, not a finding about Beachside Villas. What a unit here may actually do is set by documents, and there are three of them. The recorded declaration sets any minimum lease term. The association's current rules can add stay-length minimums, rental caps, or owner-occupancy requirements the local code does not impose, and a board can change them after a purchase. The city or county that governs this address runs its own short-term-rental registration requirements over both. Request all three in their current form from the association and the local government during diligence, before purchasing with rental income in mind.
Rental rules on the MLS today: 8 of 8 active listings disclose“Short Term Rental - Allowed”. Always verify the association's current policy.

Where do these numbers come from?
Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and refreshed on a 30-day cycle. Based on information from ECAR for the period August 11, 2021 through August 10, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
10 units closed at Beachside Villas in the trailing 12 months, from $410,000 to $680,000. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows building-level statistics only - ask us for the unit-by-unitsold report and we'll walk you through it.
How are thin samples handled?
Any figure computed from fewer than three sales is withheld rather than published - a one-sale “median” is just that sale's price. Counts always show; prices earn their way onto the page.
Thinking about buying or selling at Beachside Villas?
We track this building's sales and fees every month, and keep its rental rules on file - get the full picture before you commit.
