The Brownstones at Kelly Plantation

Okaloosa County's subdivision service returns three exact names: Brownstones Phase 1 at Kelly Plantation, Phase 2 at Kelly Plantation, and Phase 3 at Kelly Plantation. Their identifiers are 1643, 1620, and 1638. That three-part result gives this guide a precise administrative identity without stretching the name across every property marketed simply as The Brownstones.

County records also contain the broader label The Brownstones, while the public map shows a generic Brownstones point at the same location. That name similarity does not make the records interchangeable. Every count and address below comes only from the three County headers that explicitly include the words at Kelly Plantation.

Phase 1 is keyed to 00-2S-22-2060, Phase 2 to 00-2S-22-2061, and Phase 3 to 00-2S-22-2062. All three headers report the same township-and-range context: section 00, township 2 South, range 22. These roots let a buyer or researcher reproduce the phase separation in current County data.

The three recorded parcel families contain 26 unique parcel identifiers. Twenty-three carry the assessor description SFR/TOWNHOUSE, while three carry RES COMMON AREA. The split supports the community's 23-home scale without representing the three common records as residences, occupied properties, transferable units, or homes available for purchase.

Phase 1 contributes four townhome-classified rows, Phase 2 contributes nine, and Phase 3 contributes ten. Each phase also has one separately keyed common-area row. Four plus nine plus ten equals the 23 townhomes described by Kelly Plantation's official neighborhood page, giving the owner statement an independent County reconciliation.

The County public-safety layer returns 23 residential addresses on Bahia Lane, ranging from 4343 through 4399 with gaps in the street-number sequence. All report Destin, Florida 32541, and none has a populated building or floor field. The guide uses the street rather than a particular residence as its public address orientation.

The address service also lists 380U Kelly Plantation Drive for a phase-3 identifier classified as residential common area. That service address is not presented as a home, sales office, public entrance, clubhouse, parking location, or visitor destination. The other two common-area parcels do not appear as separate entries in this address record.

Kelly Plantation's current neighborhood page describes the Brownstones as a collection of 23 townhomes set on five acres. It also mentions bay, golf-course, and nature-preserve views. Those are neighborhood-level orientation statements; a buyer should confirm the sight lines, obstructions, and view rights of the particular home under consideration.

The same official source places the Brownstones inside Kelly Plantation rather than treating it as a stand-alone Destin subdivision. That nested relationship helps explain why master-community amenities and rules may be relevant. It does not prove that every service, assessment, access credential, or recreational privilege is identical for every Brownstones property.

County assessment labels identify three common-area keys, but they do not say who owns them, which phase maintains them, or what use rights attach to a selected townhome. Current declarations, amendments, surveys, deeds, budgets, and estoppel materials must answer questions about maintenance, access, insurance, reserves, parking, landscaping, and exclusive use.

The populated actual-year fields associated with the residential rows span 2015 through 2022. Those values are appraisal attributes. They do not certify a construction completion date, certificate of occupancy, renovation history, permit closure, code compliance, storm performance, remaining useful life, or the present physical condition of any townhome.

The exact parcel response does not provide a usable nonzero legal-acre basis from which to calculate the Brownstones footprint. This guide therefore does not create a County acreage total. The five-acre description remains attributed to Kelly Plantation's official neighborhood page, while deeds and surveys control parcel-specific area and boundary questions.

Florida's Division of Corporations lists Kelly Plantation Owners Association, Inc., document N94000000777, as active. The entity was filed in 1994 and has current annual-report activity. That corporate record confirms the master association's legal identity and filing status, not its exact authority, financial condition, insurance, or obligations for a selected property.

Kelly Plantation's FAQ identifies Brownstones among neighborhoods receiving additional services and paying an additional assessment. No amount is published here because budgets and assessments can change. A buyer should obtain the current master and neighborhood-level schedules, service descriptions, reserve information, pending-assessment disclosures, and an address-specific estoppel before relying on a total cost.

The same FAQ says Kelly Plantation does not permit short-term leases or vacation rentals and describes a 12-month minimum for long-term leases. That is useful master-community guidance, but it is not an address-specific legal opinion. Buyers should review the current declaration, amendments, application rules, and any Brownstones-specific instruments before planning rental use.

Kelly Plantation's FAQ expressly separates the golf course from the owners association and says the course is privately owned. This guide therefore makes no claim that homeownership includes golf membership, tee times, club voting rights, discounted fees, or continued access. Prospective owners should verify any club arrangement directly under its current terms.

Kelly Plantation's official site describes an Owners' Club and pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball, parks, and walking paths. They are listed as master-community context rather than unconditional Brownstones entitlements. Hours, credentials, guest rules, capacity, condition, charges, closures, and maintenance responsibility should be checked with current association materials.

Case-insensitive scans of Florida DBPR's North Florida condominium extract and approved-timeshare extract returned no Brownstones name match. A missing text match does not decide the ownership form, regulatory status, lawful use, insurance structure, or private obligations of a particular parcel. Title work and current recorded instruments remain controlling.

Destin's official zoning, flood-information, short-term-rental, and building-permitting pages are the appropriate starting routes for a selected address. This community guide assigns no current zoning district, flood zone, elevation, drainage condition, permit history, rental registration, insurance requirement, setback, utility capacity, or future development entitlement.

A public Browse Destin page independently connects the Brownstones name with Bahia Lane and Kelly Plantation and also describes 23 townhomes. Listing totals, prices, availability, fees, and marketing superlatives can become stale quickly, so they are not carried into this guide. The page is used only as corroboration of the named community.

The marker at latitude 30.402398 and longitude -86.432071 reuses the Atlas's already-governed Brownstones-at-Kelly-Plantation point. It is an orientation aid, not an entrance, mailing point, surveyed corner, parcel centroid, phase union, or title boundary. No public polygon is attached, and no new coordinates or geometry were invented for this guide.

Before contracting, ask for the selected parcel's title documents, current master and neighborhood governing instruments, budgets, reserves, insurance allocations, assessments, estoppel, maintenance matrix, leasing rules, parking terms, and amendment history.
