Good to know
Hermitage by the Bay: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Hermitage by the Bay condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Hermitage Condo Owners Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA00001456) as the managing entity for Hermitage by the Bay, DBPR project no. PR1S010800. The state's spelling is "HERMITAGE CONDO OWNERS ASSN INC".
How many units does Hermitage by the Bay have?
DBPR records 42 units for Hermitage by the Bay at 1330 Hwy 98 East, Fort Walton Beach. That makes it the 37th-largest of the 61 registered condominiums with 20 or more units in Fort Walton Beach.
When was Hermitage by the Bay established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded on February 1, 1984, according to DBPR. About 36% of Fort Walton Beach's registered condominiums with 20+ units were recorded in an earlier year. A recorded date marks when the building became a condominium, which is not necessarily when it was built.
How do I contact the Hermitage by the Bay association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) lists the association's registered agent, principal address and officers on file. Most day-to-day requests (estoppel certificates, move-ins, rental approval) go through the property manager, which DBPR's register does not name. Ask the front desk, the board or the unit owner for the current manager. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not the association, so we can't pass requests on to it.
I'm a lender or title company. Who completes the condo questionnaire and provides the insurance certificate?
The association or its management company — not Miami Condo HQ. We are an independent research website with no access to Hermitage Condo Owners Association, Inc.'s records, so we can't complete condo questionnaires, issue estoppel certificates or supply master insurance policies. Ask the unit owner or the building for the current property manager, or look up the association's registered agent and principal address in Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz).
Does Hermitage by the Bay need a milestone inspection or a structural integrity reserve study?
Florida's 2022 condominium safety law (SB 4-D, amended since) requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many condominium buildings, depending on height, age and distance from the coast. DBPR's register does not say whether Hermitage by the Bay has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
