Location context

Sea Hills on the map

The map shows Sea Hills in its surrounding coastal context. The map uses the best available point or outline for orientation, not as a legal survey.

Overview

Sea Hills is a five-plat recorded name with four current county-reconciled keys. This guide covers keys 3080 through 3083; Sea Hills 4th Addition remains a recorded but currently unreconciled part of the history.

The Name-Matched Street Is Outside The Guide

The three current Sea Hills Drive addresses use county root 0310, identified as Calhoun S/D to Destin. They are excluded from this guide, making the parcel PIN and legal description more reliable than a street-name match.

Five Recorded Stages, Four Current Matches

The five official plats were recorded from March 1972 through December 1978. Only the base, first, second, and third records have been reconciled to current county subdivision keys; the fourth addition has no verified current key, parcel set, or geometry.

Three Counts Answer Three Different Questions

The four reconciled plats contain 115 numbered lot labels, while current county services return 112 parcel records and 109 address points. Those figures describe different datasets and are not presented as current homes, occupied residences, households, or buildable lots.

Seven Streets Form The Current Address Pattern

The reconciled address records use Mountain Drive, Sea Oats Drive, Sea View Circle, Sea View Drive, Beach Drive, Legion Court, and Legion Drive. Sea Hills 3rd uses the Legion and Beach street group, while the other three records use the Mountain, Sea Oats, and Sea View group.

Building-Year Fields Point To Property Questions

County BLDGAYB values are populated on 109 parcel records, and 104 fall from 1973 through 1980. These fields support questions about permits, renovations, systems, inspections, and documentation, but do not prove construction date or current condition.

Rental Status Starts With The Exact Address

All 109 included address points returned LDR-V in the retrieval-date City screen, and the current City STR guide does not list LDR-V as eligible. Property-specific City confirmation, current approvals, registration records, and private restrictions are still required.

Public Recreation Is Not A Private Amenity

Buck Destin Park, O'Steen Beach Access, and Norriego Point are public City facilities. They are not Sea Hills amenities, private beach rights, deeded access, or proof of a particular route from any property.

Why The Map Uses A Point

The available Atlas polygon covers only the base county feature, not the four-key guide scope. A point provides honest orientation without synthesizing a legal-looking boundary or mapping the unreconciled fourth addition.

Governance And Private Rights Remain Open Questions

No verified declaration chain, association identity, dues, architectural authority, common amenities, or private beach rights were established. Review current recorded instruments and title evidence for the exact parcel.

What To Verify

Confirm the parcel PIN, recorded subdivision reference, legal description, plat, zoning, rental status, certificates, restrictions, easements, governing entity, access rights, permits, renovations, systems, insurance, flood information, and condition for the specific property.
