About Sugar Dunes

Walton County's boundary layer returns no city at 142 Beachside Drive, so Sugar Dunes stands in unincorporated Walton County even though its mail goes to Santa Rosa Beach. The parcel file holds 24 condominium parcels numbered 1 through 24 and one common-area parcel titled to Sugar Dunes Owners Association, Inc. All 24 homes are recorded with 1984 as the year built, and the state condominium registry lists a recorded date of January 12, 1984.

The roll's living areas fall into three runs of eight. Homes 1 and 8, 9 and 16, and 17 and 24 are recorded at 1,552 square feet, while the eighteen homes between them are recorded at 1,477. That reads as three eight-home runs with a larger home at each end, though no record describes the buildings themselves. Height is the open question: the county address file gives zero stories, which reads as a blank rather than a height, so nothing public says how tall the building or buildings stand.

Gulf frontage is the part the map does show. The common parcel runs south of the homes to within about 80 feet of the county's mapped Gulf shoreline, the nearest home outline sits about 280 feet from it, and the parcel file maps no other lot in between. FEMA's flood map follows that position: 22 of the 24 home outlines lie wholly in zone VE, a special flood hazard area classed as high flood risk, with a base flood elevation of 11 feet, and homes 1 and 2 lie mostly in it. The county's land use layer, whose boundaries the county calls approximate, places the land in Residential Preservation. Amenities, assessments, insurance terms and leasing rules are not in any public parcel file; they come from the declaration, the budget and the board.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Sugar Dunes?

No Sugar Dunes condo is for sale right now. On the one Sugar Dunes condo sold in July 2026 whose MLS record states a fee, the HOA fee was $1,391 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 information from ECAR for the period July 20, 2026 through July 20, 2026. See the listings

Sugar Dunes Owners Association, Inc. holds the common-area parcel in the roll, and the state registry lists the same association as the managing entity, so the declaration and the annual budget are the documents that say what it maintains and charges. A 1984 building in a mapped coastal flood hazard area is one where the reserve study, the roof and window history, the insurance summary and any milestone inspection report deserve a careful read before an offer. Florida's milestone inspection law reaches buildings three habitable stories or higher, so ask how many stories each building stands before assuming the rule does or does not apply.

Rental Policy

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

Whether Sugar Dunes limits stay length, caps guests, or screens renters is up to its declaration and board rules. Public files we reviewed do not include them. Get copies before you rely on how past guests used a Sugar Dunes unit. Condos are exempt from county registration today. Owners register for state tax instead. They also need a state business license. Add the county tourist tax account. Confirm each one before booking.

Building Answers

Sugar Dunes FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Sugar Dunes?

No Sugar Dunes condo is for sale right now. On the one Sugar Dunes condo sold in July 2026 whose MLS record states a fee, the HOA fee was $1,391 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 information from ECAR for the period July 20, 2026 through July 20, 2026.

How many homes does Sugar Dunes have at 142 Beachside Drive?

Twenty-four, numbered 1 through 24 in the property roll, with a single common-area parcel owned by the association. The state registry lists 24 units and so does the county address file for 142 Beachside Drive. A registry entry called Sugar Dunes Condo in Santa Rosa County, near Navarre, is an unrelated 14-unit building.

How close does the county map put Sugar Dunes to the Gulf shoreline?

The county's maps put it very near the water. The association's common parcel reaches to within about 80 feet of the county's mapped Gulf shoreline, the nearest home outline is about 280 feet away, and the parcel file shows no other lot between them. The distances run to the county's drawn shoreline, not to the waterline on any given day.

What flood zone is Sugar Dunes in?

FEMA's map places 22 of the 24 home outlines wholly in zone VE, mapped with an 11 foot base flood elevation, with homes 1 and 2 mostly in it and a small corner in minimal hazard. Across the common parcel, roughly 72 percent is zone VE at 11, 12 and 15 feet, about 12 percent is the 0.2 percent annual chance band and about 16 percent is minimal hazard. The county's flood layer shows the same zones.

Does a 1984 building like Sugar Dunes need a milestone inspection?

Under Florida's milestone law the first inspection is due by December 31 of the year a building reaches 30 years of age, counted from its certificate of occupancy, and a building that passed 30 before July 1, 2022 had until December 31, 2024. A local enforcement agency may set 25 years instead if local conditions, nearness to salt water among them, call for it, and this review did not check whether Walton County has. The law applies only to buildings of three or more habitable stories, and no public record gives Sugar Dunes' story count, so ask the association for its inspection report.

Where would I find Sugar Dunes' leasing limits before I buy?

Not in the public files reviewed here. Whatever limits Sugar Dunes places on leasing are in its recorded declaration and board rules, which were not among the public files reviewed. The county leaves condominiums out of its registration ordinance, but that is paperwork, not a house rule.
