About Gulf Place Cabanas

Gulf Place Cabanas is one condominium of 43 residences at 145 Spires Lane. The state parcel roll lists all 43 as separate condominium parcels. Unit numbers begin at 101 and top out at 411 across four hundreds series, and the only gap is unit 106, which the roll does not list. That pattern points to four levels, but the roll states no floor count, so none is published here. The roll dates the whole building to 1999, one year covering all 43 residences.

The recorded living areas are small and close together. Eight residences, numbered 101, 111, 201, 211, 301, 311, 401 and 411, are listed at 618 square feet. The other 35 are listed at 581, 585 or 586 square feet, with 22 of them at exactly 586. These are appraiser roll figures for living area, not a measured plan, and they say nothing about balconies or storage. A buyer comparing two units here is therefore comparing level, position within a series and interior condition, because floor area barely moves.

Two more parcels hold the common ground. The larger covers 52,728 square feet, about 1.2 acres, and the smaller covers 4,565 square feet. The state roll titles both to a Gulf Place Cabanas neighborhood owners association. The building stands inland of the Gulf: the county's water layer puts the shoreline about 500 feet from the nearest corner of the common-area parcel, and the federal flood map puts all 45 parcels, residences and common ground alike, in one zone, X, labelled minimal hazard, with no base elevation shown. That describes the ground, not any one unit, and an individual unit's insurance quote or elevation certificate is the document that speaks to it.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Gulf Place Cabanas?

As of November 12, 2026, the 2 Gulf Place Cabanas condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $929 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 2 active MLS listings that report an HOA fee. Fees billed quarterly, twice a year or yearly are shown as a monthly equivalent. See the listings

The state registry shows Gulf Place Cabanas Neighborhood Owners' Association, Inc. in active status as a nonprofit corporation chartered December 16, 1997, and its latest annual report is dated April 24, 2026. A management company's Destin office is the principal address on file. The charter name describes a neighborhood association, and no record opened for this page shows whether another Gulf Place body also assesses these units, so that question belongs to the declaration. What the association maintains, how its budget and reserves stand, which insurance it carries and which rules bind an owner are likewise not public record in any source reviewed here. The declaration, the present budget and recent board minutes are the documents to request first.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

Gulf Place Cabanas lies outside every town. So Walton County's program governs locally. The county says little about condos. They are not part of its registration right now. State tax and licensing steps remain. The county tourism tax does too. That covers condos as a group. It does not address the Cabanas declaration. No record we found says whether a Cabanas owner may rent for short stays. Read the Cabanas declaration and rules first.

Building Answers

Gulf Place Cabanas FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Gulf Place Cabanas?

As of November 12, 2026, the 2 Gulf Place Cabanas condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list an HOA fee of $929 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 homes are in Gulf Place Cabanas, and how are they numbered?

The state roll lists 43 residential condominium parcels at 145 Spires Lane. Numbers start at 101 and end at 411, grouped in four hundreds series with 106 the single number absent. Two further parcels are common ground, so the roll holds 45 parcels in the series. The numbering suggests four levels, but no record opened here states a floor count.

Do Gulf Place Cabanas units differ much in square footage?

Barely. The appraiser roll records living area between 581 and 618 square feet. Eight units numbered 101, 111, 201, 211, 301, 311, 401 and 411 read 618. Eleven read 581, two read 585 and the remaining 22 read 586. These are roll figures, so compare them against a listing's own measurements and a floor plan before relying on them.

When do public records date Gulf Place Cabanas?

Public records date it to 1999: that is the construction year entered against every one of the 43 residence parcels. The two common-area parcels carry no year on the roll. The roll gives the year, not a permit or completion date, so ask for the original completion paperwork if the exact date matters to your inspection plans.

Is Gulf Place Cabanas on the beach, and what flood zone is it in?

No. The county's water layer places the Gulf shoreline about 500 feet from the nearest corner of the building's common-area parcel, so the condominium is inland rather than on the sand. The federal flood map files the residence parcels and both common parcels under zone X, its minimal hazard category. A zone describes mapped ground, so confirm any single unit with its own insurance quote.

What do public records say about renting out a Gulf Place Cabanas unit?

They stay silent on this building. The county's municipality layer shows no city boundary over the property, and the county's FAQ says condominiums currently sit outside its registration process while state license and tax registrations remain required. None of that reads the recorded declaration, which is where a Cabanas rental rule would appear if one exists.
