About Emerald Surf Villas
Emerald Surf Villas was created by a declaration of condominium dated December 14, 1999, signed by Emerald Surf Developers, Inc. and recorded March 1, 2000, in Walton County Official Records Book 2173 at page 24. The Florida property-roll file lists 2000 as the year built on all five units.
The declaration describes two buildings holding five condominium units, with personal storage areas, parking spaces, two elevators and stairs. County parcel records name the units 1A and 2A at 4204 East County Highway 30A and 1B, 2B and 3B at 4206, along with one common-area parcel titled to Emerald Surf Villas Owners Association, which is a legal parcel and not a sixth home. The county's municipal layer draws no city boundary around the site.
Two kinds of ground belong to the owners beyond the units themselves. The declaration provides for a heated swimming pool of roughly 16 by 32 feet within the condominium itself, and it sets aside ground-floor storage and certain parking areas as limited common property assigned to individual units. This page did not confirm the pool is in service today.
On FEMA's national flood map, the mapped outline of each of the five units falls in an area of minimal flood hazard, while the shared common parcel crosses into the VE coastal high hazard zone, where the map shows base elevations of 11 and 12 feet. Ask the association how the pool, stairs, storage and parking relate to those lines.
HOA & Fees
What is the HOA fee at Emerald Surf Villas?
As of November 11, 2026, based on one listing on the MLS, the reported HOA fee at Emerald Surf Villas is $2,000 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.
Based on one active MLS listing that reports an HOA fee. Fees billed quarterly, twice a year or yearly are shown as a monthly equivalent. See the listings
Emerald Surf Villas Owners' Association, Inc. operates the five-unit condominium under a declaration recorded in March 2000. The declaration makes the association responsible for the common property, the outside walls and load-bearing parts of the building, the stormwater system, and heating and air-conditioning equipment that serves more than one unit. Owners keep up the inside of their units, including windows, screens and sliding doors, and may not paint or change the building's exterior. Expenses are shared by fractional percentages set out in an exhibit that this page does not reproduce. Substantial alterations to common property need approval by three-quarters of the votes present at a meeting. Ask for the budget, reserve schedule, insurance summary, any amendment recorded since March 2000 and the association's current rules and regulations.
Rental Policy
Short-term rentals: allowed under the 1999 recorded declaration, which permits stays by the day or longer; later amendments not checked.
Emerald Surf Villas has a Santa Rosa Beach mailing name, but it sits in unincorporated Walton County. A city ordinance is the wrong starting point here. Article XII of the recorded declaration lets an owner live in a unit with immediate relatives, guests, and invitees. It also allows renting to lessees, daily or longer. Its default article lists disapproval of a proposed lease among the association's remedies. Nothing adopted after March 2000 has been checked. The county treats condos as outside its program for now. Ask whether the association reviews leases before they start.

Building Answers
Emerald Surf Villas FAQ
How much is the HOA fee at Emerald Surf Villas?
As of November 11, 2026, based on one listing on the MLS, the reported HOA fee at Emerald Surf Villas is $2,000 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.
How many buildings and units does the Emerald Surf Villas declaration create?
Two buildings holding five units. Building A has units 1A and 2A, and building B has units 1B, 2B and 3B. The sixth parcel in the county records is common area owned by the association, so it should never be counted as a home.
Why do 4204 and 4206 both appear for five units?
Each building has its own street number. The county's address points put two units at 4204 East County Highway 30A and three at 4206, matching the A and B letters on the unit parcels, so match a listing by letter and number together.
What do the five Emerald Surf Villas owners hold in common besides the buildings?
The declaration describes a heated swimming pool of about 16 by 32 feet, two elevators with stairs, and parking areas. It assigns ground-floor storage and certain parking to individual units as limited common property. Ask the association what is built and how each assignment is recorded.
Do any Emerald Surf Villas unit outlines touch a VE flood zone?
No. FEMA's map places all five unit outlines in minimal flood hazard. Roughly four tenths of the shared common parcel does reach VE, mapped at 11 and 12 feet, and since common property is insured by the association, ask what its policy covers.
Does the Emerald Surf Villas declaration set a minimum rental stay?
Article XII names no minimum. It says rental by lessees may be daily or a longer term. That is the text recorded in March 2000, and no later amendment was loaded, so request the current declaration and rules before relying on it.
