The Selene & Easterly

The Selene & Easterly is one recorded condominium expressed through two named buildings at Alys Beach. Walton County, the official project booklet, Florida corporate records, and independent construction and planning sources align on that combined identity. This guide keeps the pair together, counts each residential interest once, and reserves transaction-dependent rights for current controlling documents.

Walton County's subdivision layer carries a single header for THE SELENE & EASTERLY CONDO under number 27-3S-18-16460. Its legal text cites Official Records Book 3281 beginning at page 1809. That singular record is the clearest public reason to maintain one canonical Atlas page rather than inventing separate Selene and Easterly condominium projects.

The same County header says the condominium was formerly ALYS BEACH THE SELENE & EASTERLY, recorded in Plat Book 25 beginning at page 28. The former plat label and present condominium label describe successive recorded stages, not two parallel communities. A buyer should still compare the declaration, amendments, survey, and title work for the selected interest.

The current County address service returns exactly 13 parcel designators beneath the condominium root. Seven begin with E and six begin with S. The official Alys Beach booklet independently describes seven Easterly residences and six Selene residences. Agreement between those sources supports a 13-residence project without exposing owner names or confusing administrative rows with availability.

The booklet organizes The Selene as three pairs of residences on the second, third, and fourth levels. County records mirror that organization with S-201, S-202, S-301, S-302, S-401, and S-402. Those identifiers establish scope and floor notation only; they say nothing about occupancy, interior alterations, furniture, maintenance, or which homes might be offered.

The Easterly adds one ground-level interest to three two-residence upper levels. The County's E-prefixed sequence runs from E-101 through paired designators on levels two, three, and four. That pattern reconciles seven homes. It does not establish identical layouts, views, storage, parking, accessibility, or rights shared by every interest.

Scott Merrill's statement in the Alys Beach booklet says the buildings were intended to work together while retaining distinct characters and orientations. The Selene emphasizes long west-facing porches; Easterly uses corner porches with broader angled outlooks. These are design-intent descriptions from a developer booklet, not guarantees about present views or as-built condition.

The official diagrams show ground, second, third, and fourth levels, supporting a four-story low-rise classification. They also show different ground-floor treatment in each building. Readers should not assume that a shared floor number means a shared plan, size, ceiling height, exposure, or component responsibility. Current unit documents and measurements control those details.

Walton County assigns 290 Sea Garden Street to an E-designated interest and 294 Sea Garden Street to an S-designated interest, both in Inlet Beach, Florida 32461. The Atlas uses both numbers for the project. A particular offering still needs its own address, building name, unit suffix, parcel number, and legal description reconciled together.

Alys Beach identifies the residences as Gulf front, and a Walton County public packet likewise calls the completed development a 13-unit Gulf-front condominium. The official master plan places the pair at the southern edge of town near the plaza. Gulf-front is a location relationship; it is not a promise of an unobstructed view, shoreline condition, or future surroundings.

The project booklet places the buildings opposite the Beach Club and uses that relationship as part of its design narrative. Physical proximity does not itself establish membership, guest eligibility, hours, fees, transfer terms, beach access, or a deeded route. Those questions require current condominium and Alys Beach community documents tied to the specific residence.

The Alys Beach booklet attributes the project to Merrill Pastor and Colgan Architects and explains its emphasis on natural light, outdoor rooms, privacy, and Gulf and town orientations. The current master plan independently preserves both building names at the southern Town Center edge. Authorship and planning context do not certify current systems, finishes, views, or condition.

A current Coldwell Banker listing associates a 290 Sea Garden residence with Easterly, while a historical Ruckel record associates a 294 Sea Garden S-designated residence with the paired project. Those snapshots corroborate the County address pattern. They cannot establish association-wide rental terms, permanent amenities, finish continuity, or present availability beyond the particular offering.

Florida corporate records list The Selene & Easterly Condominium Association, Inc., document N20000009270, as an active not-for-profit filed August 19, 2020, with a 2026 annual report displayed. The exact combined name reinforces one-project treatment. Corporate status does not disclose assessments, reserves, insurance, maintenance allocations, rules, or enforcement.

Resale remarks and older marketing can describe the terms applied to one residence at one moment. They are not a durable association-wide rule source. This guide therefore leaves short-term-rental permission, minimum stay, pets, parking allocation, storage entitlement, and elevator count unset until current declarations, amendments, rules, approvals, and an estoppel support them.

It came from a compact legal-description cluster and was approved only for coordinate-level discovery. No polygon was cleared. The point is not a door, driveway, address point, residence, parcel centroid, building outline, survey corner, flood result, or title boundary.

For a transaction, match the listing to 290 or 294 Sea Garden Street, the Selene or Easterly building name, the E or S unit designator, County parcel number, legal description, title commitment, and association estoppel. Review the declaration and amendments, budgets, reserves, assessments, insurance, structural records, maintenance duties, parking and storage instruments, rental and pet rules, community access terms, permits, inspections, flood information, and current condition. This page establishes identity and scope; it is not a survey, title opinion, engineering review, or promise of future operations.
