What Should You Check Before Buying in Ocean Club Estates?
- HOA documents. Get the current budget, rules, rental rules, and any special assessments for Ocean Club Estates. Fees and rules change.
- Utilities and soil. Confirm water and sewer service, or get a septic permit check, before you buy a lot. Ask about any building rules too.
- Dock and bulkhead. Have docks, lifts, and bulkheads inspected. Ask about permits and CAMA rules for any work you plan.
- Flood zone. Check the FEMA flood map for the exact address. Some Sunset Beach streets near the marsh and waterway sit in a flood zone, and others do not.
- Insurance quote. Get wind and flood quotes early. Coastal premiums can change your monthly payment more than the price does.
