About Sanctuary by the Sea

Sanctuary by the Sea sits on County Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, in unincorporated Walton County. The county roll files 82 homes, 21 pool cabanas and one shared parcel under it, 104 parcels in all. Seventy-five homes carry the 1363 West County Highway 30A address and seven carry 1361. Every home and cabana shows 2007 as its actual year built, so the property reads as a single construction date rather than a phased build.

Home numbers run in three series, 1101 to 1129, 2101 to 2129 and 3101 to 3129, with five numbers unused. That pattern points to three levels, though the roll gives no story count. Roll figures put the smallest home at 2,244 square feet and the largest at 7,475. Two sizes, 2,244 and 2,251, cover 30 of the 82 homes, while the three largest figures, 7,006, 7,006 and 7,475, all belong to the 3100 series. Each cabana is listed at 350 square feet.

Big Redfish Lake is close enough that the county's mapped Coastal Dune Lake Protection Zone, 300 feet wide, touches 51 of the 82 home outlines and 18 of the 21 cabana outlines. Walton's comprehensive plan adds development criteria inside that zone, so any plan for new construction or redevelopment there belongs in a conversation with the county as well as the board.

HOA & Fees

Based on 3 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 county roll titles the shared parcel to an owners association in the building's name and calls it common area shared by all units; the full corporate name is cut off in the county record. Neither the roll nor the other public records reviewed state what that association maintains, what the cabanas owe it, or how dues divide between homes and cabanas. Request the recorded declaration, the latest budget and reserve study, the insurance summary and whatever milestone or structural reports exist.

Rental Policy

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

The county FAQ excludes condos for now. Another answer on the same page speaks only of certain condos. Tax and licensing registrations apply regardless. Tourism tax registration does too. Nothing there covers the Sanctuary by the Sea declaration. No association rule has been seen either. The 21 separately owned cabanas raise their own question. Confirm lease and rental terms in writing for the exact home or cabana.

Building Answers

Sanctuary by the Sea FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Sanctuary by the Sea?

As of November 12, 2026, the 3 Sanctuary by the Sea condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $1,894 to $3,133 a month, with a median of $2,493 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.

Does the county roll's 104 parcels at Sanctuary by the Sea mean 104 homes?

No. The county roll lists 82 homes numbered in three series, 1101 to 1129, 2101 to 2129 and 3101 to 3129, with five numbers unused. It also lists 21 pool cabanas as units of their own and one shared common-area parcel, 104 parcels in all. Seventy-five homes use the 1363 West County Highway 30A address and seven use 1361. Count homes and cabanas separately when you compare the building with others.

Are the pool cabanas at Sanctuary by the Sea separate from the condos?

On the roll they are. Each of the 21 cabanas has its own parcel, labeled UNIT PC with a number, and each is listed at 350 square feet. By owner name, 17 of the 21 are held by someone who also holds a home, which hints that many owners hold both, though the record does not tie them together. Whether a declaration ties a cabana to a particular home is a document question to settle before you sign.

How big are the homes at Sanctuary by the Sea?

The smallest home on the roll measures 2,244 square feet and the largest 7,475. Two sizes, 2,244 and 2,251, cover 30 of the 82 homes. The largest three, 7,006, 7,006 and 7,475, all sit in the 3100 series, and the largest in the other two series is 4,511. Roll figures are the county's own and should be checked against the association's floor-plan records.

Is Sanctuary by the Sea on Big Redfish Lake?

It is close enough that the county's mapped 300-foot Coastal Dune Lake Protection Zone around Big Redfish Lake touches 51 of the 82 home outlines, 18 of the 21 cabana outlines and the shared parcel. Walton's comprehensive plan sets that zone 300 feet landward of the lake and attaches extra criteria to development in it. The map does not say what a given repair or rebuild would need, so ask the county before planning work.

Does Sanctuary by the Sea need a milestone inspection?

Florida's milestone rule applies to residential condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more, with the first inspection due by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, counted from the date its building certificate was issued, and every 10 years after. If the building received its certificate in 2007, that falls in 2037, and the local enforcement agency may move it to the 25th year, 2032. The roll gives no story count, so ask the association for its height determination and any scheduled inspection.
