Sandcastles By The Sea Homes for Sale

Living in Sandcastles By The Sea

County parcel records give Sandcastles By The Sea two parts. Phase I is a townhome plat in Plat Book 5, page 61, which the county header counts as 14 units: parcels for Units 101 through 103, 201 through 204, 301 through 304 and 401 through 403, plus a common-area parcel. Phase III is Plat Book 12, page 12, recorded in 1996, with nine lots numbered 1 through 9 that the county labels single family, plus its own common-area parcel.

The two parts differ on the ground. Phase I unit parcels measure about 0.03 to 0.05 acre and Phase III lots about 0.17 to 0.23 acre. Phase I addresses fall at 191, 209 and 229 Blue Mountain Road; Phase III lots are addressed on Sandcastles Court.

Searching the county legal text for the full name finds only ten of the 25 parcels, the nine Phase III lots and Unit 103, because most Phase I records split the name across two lines. Searching by parcel series finds them all: 12-3S-20-34300 for Phase I and 12-3S-20-34410 for Phase III. The county address layer lists 27 rows for those 25 parcels, since each common-area parcel appears twice with no address assigned, and only six rows carry a place name, three different ones: SAND CASTLES BY THE SEA #1 TOWNHOMES, SANDCASTLE BY THE SEA and SANDCASTLES BY THE BAY. Those labels are inconsistent entries and cannot mark a boundary.

These records establish parcels, legal wording and addresses only. They do not show dues, rules, access or flood status; Walton County's floodplain manager answers flood questions parcel by parcel.
