Location context

Buena Vista on the map

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

Overview

Buena Vista has a tightly defined seven-lot recorded identity. The plat contains seven numbered lots, and current Walton County records assign all seven to Open Gulf Street. The parcel series is therefore the clearest way to confirm whether an address belongs to the subdivision.

The Seven-Lot Identity

Walton County recorded Buena Vista in 1991 in Plat Book 9 at page 8. The current parcel series is 33-2S-21-42520, with Lots 1 through 7. County records classify each parcel for single-family use and show one building and one residential unit per parcel.

Open Gulf Street Then And Now

The recorded plat uses historical labels for the surrounding road network, while current county addresses place every lot on Open Gulf Street. Modern directions should use Scenic Gulf Drive, Mainsail Drive, and Open Gulf Street. County street records identify Mainsail Drive and Open Gulf Street as locally maintained roads.

Seven Single-Family Parcel Records

Current county records classify all seven parcels for single-family use and show one building and one residential unit on each. Those fields establish the current county record pattern, but they do not prove detached construction, one architectural style, one construction period, or shared house features. Individual property improvements are not community amenities.

The Nearby Public Beach Access

Walton County identifies Open Gulf Street Neighborhood Beach Access at 213 Open Gulf Street. The county access chart lists no parking, vendor zone, restrooms, ADA compatibility, or picnic pavilion there. No reviewed title or easement source establishes that the public access is private, exclusive, or deeded to Buena Vista.

Rental Rules Require Address-Level Review

No complete covenant or amendment chain was obtained, so no subdivision-wide short-term-rental classification is stated here. Walton County requires annual registration for qualifying vacation rentals. Confirm current recorded restrictions and county requirements for the exact address.

What To Verify Before A Decision

Confirm the parcel number and recorded lot. Then obtain the current covenant and amendment chain, association status, property-specific beach rights, rental status, registration, insurance, flood information, parking, and construction records.
