Turquoise Beach Homes for Sale

Living in Turquoise Beach

Turquoise Beach is a platted subdivision in Santa Rosa Beach, carried on Walton County's parcel roll under four recorded filings: the original Turquoise Beach Subdivision, then a First, Second, and Third Addition, filed in the county's Plat Book 3 at pages 31, 36, 37, and 44. Together the four filings carry 119 recorded parcels covering roughly 40 to 42 acres, depending on whether the assessor's recorded acreage or the county's mapped area is used, laid out in blocks along Turquoise Beach Drive and My Way, with Mack Bayou Road, Foxglove Street, Palmetto Street, Harborview Road and Camp David Lane completing the grid. Mack Bayou Road shares its name with Mack Bayou, a stream the U.S. Geological Survey's national gazetteer records in Walton County, and a mapped point on that stream lies within about a quarter mile of the plat. Blocks in the original plat and its First Addition are lettered, running through Block E, while the Second and Third Additions number theirs one through three, a filing-by-filing difference a buyer can read directly off the legal description on a deed in the plat.

County building records show a wide span of construction dates inside the plat: the earliest recorded year built is 1965 and the most recent is 2025, so decades-old buildings sit on the same blocks as recently finished ones. Recorded living area on file ranges from 720 to 5,960 square feet. Single-family houses are 74 of the 119 parcels, with 16 recorded as manufactured or mobile homes, 14 of them in the First and Second Additions, 16 as site improvements and 13 as vacant. Under every one of the 119 parcels FEMA's national map shows Zone AE ground, at base flood elevations of 7 and 8 feet; 21 parcels, 15 in the original plat and six in the First Addition, also reach Zone VE, the coastal high-hazard zone, at 9 and 10 feet, and 24 include shaded Zone X ground. Check the map at the exact lot. County records also list six further parcels on Lot 8, Block 1 of the Third Addition, described as an unrecorded townhouse complex, with its common-area parcel listed under Turquoise Bch Owners Association; they are not counted above.
