Costa Vista

Costa Vista is a 24-unit townhome community at 11 Driftwood Road in Miramar Beach. Its three-level residences sit north of Scenic Gulf Drive, directly across from the county's Miramar Beach Regional Beach Access 49. A shared pool occupies the community side of the road. That arrangement is more specific than calling Costa Vista beachfront: the residences can have Gulf views, but reaching the sand uses a public access across the coastal road.

Costa Vista is organized as individually numbered multilevel townhomes, not stacked condominium apartments served by a common interior corridor. Property-specific records describe living areas on an upper level and bedrooms above, with entry and parking functions at ground level for the residences reviewed. That vertical sequence affects stairs, accessibility, views, deliveries, and storm preparation. The exact plan, parking bay, balcony count, and interior area still need to be checked for the specific unit.

Florida's Division of Corporations lists Costa Vista Homeowners' Assn., Inc. as an active not-for-profit corporation filed in 1983. Its current principal address belongs to the association manager, while Walton County parcel records place the Costa Vista Townhomes units at 11 Driftwood Road. The Atlas point is centered on those official parcel geometries. It marks the residential cluster, not a surveyed outline of shared land, parking, the pool, or any beach interest.

County legal descriptions identify Costa Vista unit numbers through Unit 24, and property-specific sources describe a 24-townhome community. The public parcel query currently returns 23 features. That difference may reflect a combined, omitted, or nonstandard parcel record, but the Atlas does not guess at the cause. It uses the supported 24-unit community total and keeps the 23-feature GIS response visible as a source-system limitation.

Visit South Walton places Miramar Beach Regional Beach Access 49 at 2375 Scenic Gulf Drive, immediately south of Costa Vista. The county tourism record identifies parking, restrooms, an accessible boardwalk, accessible parking, seasonal lifeguards, beach-condition flags, a water fountain, and beach wheelchairs. Costa Vista residents and guests still cross Scenic Gulf Drive to reach it. Traffic, the actual crossing point, beach conditions, access hours, and mobility needs should be checked in current conditions.

The community pool is on the townhome side of the road, while the Gulf and public access are to the south. Current residence pages show that some units look toward the Gulf from upper living spaces or balconies and toward the pool from other rooms. A Gulf-view label should therefore be confirmed from the exact floor and orientation. Landscaping, neighboring buildings, and later alterations can change a view without changing the Costa Vista name.

The regional beach access and Pompano Joe's form a recognizable landmark cluster along this part of Scenic Gulf Drive. Costa Vista sits just inland of that activity, west of central Seascape and east of the Destin city line. This creates a different setting from a gated resort campus or a direct Gulf-front tower. The coastal road can also be busy, so a short mapped distance should not substitute for inspecting the route at the time and pace that matter to the reader.

Current rental pages show that particular Costa Vista townhomes are offered for short stays and that some managers publish unit-specific pet, age, stay-length, parking, or beach-service terms. Those pages establish how a residence is operated today, not what every owner may do under the association documents. The Atlas therefore leaves association-wide rental permission, minimum nights, pet policy, and parking allocation untyped until current governing records resolve them.

Review the declaration or covenants and amendments, current rules, budgets, assessments, reserve information, insurance, flood information, roof and exterior responsibilities, parking, pool operations, and any rental or pet restrictions. Confirm the townhome number, stairs, plan, balconies, view, parking bay, access route, and current condition.
