Tranquility By The Bay Homes for Sale

Living in Tranquility By The Bay

With the final plat of Tranquility By The Bay before them on August 9, 2005, Walton County's commissioners voted 5 to 0 to approve its final order for recording, conditions included. The county's growth management and planning director had told them the plat met all minimal technical standards of the Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan, and that both staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval. The land use items at that hearing began with an agreement covering the development's conditions, the first of which was moving Nursery Road. One commissioner recalled that the board had asked the developer to meet with residents and have them sign off on the development order; the applicant's attorney did not recall being told to get neighbors to sign off, but assured the commissioner he would meet with two people the minutes name to review the order before any clearing took place.

Today the county parcel file carries fifteen lots, every one of them citing Plat Book 16, page 94, and one further parcel whose legal description covers all streets, common areas and limited common areas as described on that plat. The state's 2025 tax roll gives lots 1 through 7 and lot 15 Tranquility Lane addresses and lots 8 through 14 Tranquility Court addresses, codes each lot as a single-family home with one building, and places all of them in Santa Rosa Beach, ZIP 32459. The county's street map draws Tranquility Lane from East Nursery Road, with Tranquility Court branching off the Lane.

The houses came more than ten years after the plat vote. The 2025 roll dates all seven Court houses and the lot 15 house on the Lane to 2016, lots 1 through 5 and lot 7 to 2017, and lot 6 alone to 2021. Living area on the roll runs from about 1,800 to about 2,690 square feet. Land area is less settled: the roll gives the lots about 4,450 to about 6,530 square feet, while the county parcel file lists them at 0.08 to about 0.11 acre and puts them in a different order by size, so measure a lot from the recorded plat or a survey.
