Azalea Gardens

Azalea Gardens is a small west Destin subdivision recorded as Azalea Gardens Destin under Okaloosa County key 00-2S-22-0057. The key distinguishes it from separate same-name records near Fort Walton Beach. This guide covers only the Destin community on Goldsbys Way, Azalea Drive, and Melvin Street.

The City plat index records an Azalea Gardens plat in August 1993 and a December plat titled Destin Azalea Gardens, formerly known as Azalea Gardens. The current county record uses the longer identity, explaining why consumer sources may use either name for the same Destin subdivision.

The current county return contains 37 numbered lots classified for single-family use. County address points divide them among Goldsbys Way, Azalea Drive, and Melvin Street, with most on Goldsbys Way.

County actual-year-built fields place 32 of 37 homes between 1994 and 1999. The remaining records include 2000, 2001, 2017, and 2024. The subdivision is predominantly mid-to-late-1990s housing with limited later construction, not a uniform one-year project.

Azalea Gardens sits in the inland street grid north of Harbor Boulevard. Nearby City parks and civic facilities are public context, not subdivision amenities. No reviewed source establishes a community pool, gate, clubhouse, or private beach access.

The City's MDR-V zoning baseline is for permanent and long-term residential use and does not include seasonal or transient accommodations. That does not resolve private covenants, vested rights, prior approvals, or a property-specific determination, so the Atlas does not publish a blanket rental verdict.

No official association identity, complete declaration, amendments, dues schedule, architectural rules, shared amenity record, or private rental policy was verified.
