About Preserve Place
Preserve Place at Grayton Beach is recorded as one condominium holding two kinds of units. State property records list ten homes, numbered 201R through 403R, and six units numbered 101C through 106C that the state files in its commercial group, under a mixed-use code defined as stores with offices or stores with living space, rather than the residential condominium code. Alongside them sit a common-area parcel and one vacant parcel whose state legal description reads a portion of Lot C-1 Preserve and which carries no street number. Search records by the street number 1732 on West County Highway 30A.
All ten homes show 2005 as the year built, which fits the 2005 filing date of the owners' association. The six commercial units carry no year and no living area, so nothing here describes what they contain. The numbering climbs from the 100s to the 400s, a pattern that suggests four levels, though no record opened for this page gives a floor count. No town or city boundary covers the site, so Walton County rather than a municipality governs it, whatever the postal city.
Mixed use changes which Florida rules matter most here. On the state's count, ten of the sixteen recorded units are homes, above the half-of-the-units line in section 718.404(2) past which home owners hold the vote for most board seats, provided the association operates no other units. Two further rules sit beside it: no commercial unit may hold a veto over amendments, and a mixed-use declaration created after January 1, 1996 must set each unit's common-element share by square footage or in equal fractions. Which method this building uses is written in its recorded declaration, not in any public map or property record.
HOA & Fees
What is the HOA fee at Preserve Place?
As of November 11, 2026, based on one listing on the MLS, the reported HOA fee at Preserve Place is $2,288 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. See the listings
The Division of Corporations lists Preserve Place at Grayton Beach Owners' Association, Inc. as a Florida nonprofit filed on August 17, 2005 and still active, with a management company's Destin office as its principal address. No record opened for this page states dues, amenities, parking arrangements or the permitted uses of the commercial units. Ask for the declaration with its table of ownership shares, the current budget showing how residential and commercial units split each expense, the insurance summary, the reserve study and recent meeting minutes.
Rental Policy
Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.
Preserve Place mixes ten homes with six commercial units. So ask Walton County whether its condo exemption covers this building. The county currently excludes condos from registration. It also names certain condos as exempt. State lodging and tax steps still apply. Tourism tax too. Its mailing city is Santa Rosa Beach. Yet no town boundary covers Preserve Place. Ask the association for Preserve Place lease terms, minimum stays, and approval steps.

Building Answers
Preserve Place FAQ
How much is the HOA fee at Preserve Place?
As of November 11, 2026, based on one listing on the MLS, the reported HOA fee at Preserve Place is $2,288 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 does Preserve Place have, and what are the other units?
State records show ten homes and six commercial units in one condominium at 1732 West County Highway 30A, plus a common-area parcel and a small vacant remnant. The homes are numbered 201R through 403R and the commercial units 101C through 106C, so a buyer weighing a home is looking at ten of the sixteen recorded units.
Is Preserve Place part of The Preserve at Grayton Beach?
The names overlap in the record itself: the state roll lists the condominium's common-area parcel under the Preserve Place at Grayton Beach name, that outline touches a parcel of the single-family subdivision, and the nearest house lot sits about 145 feet away, measured outline to outline. The two keep separate parcel records, and the condominium has its own association on the state corporate record. Treat subdivision house sales as a different property type, and ask which association's dues and rules reach a given unit.
Do home owners or commercial owners control the Preserve Place board?
On the state's coding, ten of the sixteen condominium units are homes, which is 62.5 percent and two units above the half mark in Florida's mixed-use section. That section would put the votes for a majority of seats with the residential owners, subject to the developer-turnover rules in 718.301. The declaration and bylaws show what the association actually does.
How big are the homes at Preserve Place?
Living area on the state record runs from 1,284 square feet in unit 204 to 2,572 in units 303 and 403, across five sizes. Units 201, 301 and 401 each carry 1,945 square feet and units 202, 302 and 402 each carry 1,797, so compare a home against its own plan before comparing it with the rest.
