Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 297 Gulf Shore Drive #A, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2026: confirm the roof and HVAC install dates and whether any builder or manufacturer warranty transfers.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- FEMA flood zone VE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Walton County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $107,625/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 297 Gulf Shore Drive #A and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 297 Gulf Shore Drive #A was built in 2026 and has 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 297 Gulf Shore Drive #A in?
297 Gulf Shore Drive #A is in Gulf Trace in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Gulf Trace from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 297 Gulf Shore Drive #A differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $107,625 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price.

Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 297 Gulf Shore Drive #A in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone VE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
