MARGARITA VILLA is located in the very popular Destiny Beach Villas in Crystal Beach.

It is only 200 paces from the front door to the beautiful public beach with powdery white sand and emerald waters. You can use the pedestrian tunnel to avoid crossing the street.

Early riser? Sunrises on the beach can be magnificent. Be sure to catch some of our famous sunsets on the beach too!

There is also a kids' playground right on the beach.

The pool is only 50 steps away and is heated at Thanksgiving and from approximately Dec 18 until Easter (HOA may adjust for occupancy/demand/weather). The pool area includes restrooms with showers and there is plenty of seating. Pool hours are 8:00 am to 10:00 pm daily.

This listing includes both the upper and lower units w/connecting passageway. Units can also be rented separately. (click on our profile and see our other listings).

MARGARITA VILLA includes:
- 4 bedrooms - 2 masters w/King beds & ensuite baths
- 2 spacious waterfront decks
- 2 kitchens
- 2 living areas
- 2 dining areas

It’s an ideal layout for a big family vacation, a friend-cation, and for extended families. If extra privacy is desired, there is a lockout door to separate the lower/upper units.

There are separate HVAC systems, thermostats, and water heaters on each level for maximum comfort control.

Get some work done, attend virtual meetings or online school while visiting! MARGARITA VILLA has high-speed Internet service with the latest mesh WiFi technology that lets many devices to be online without interference.

Up to 4 vehicles are permitted in the parking lot. Spaces are not assigned. If you rent a golf cart, it counts as one of the 4 vehicles. Permits *must* be displayed or vehicles may be towed. As we are so close to the beach, the community vigorously enforces this to ensure there is sufficient parking for residents and guests. Even our parking lot is in-demand!

If you are flying in, or have a full vehicle already, you'll like that we provide high-quality beach chairs, beach wagons, toys, and beach towels.

MARGARITA VILLA overlooks Four Prong Lake, with 2 decks to relax and enjoy the Florida beach weather and the water view. The lake is generally so clear that you can see the fish and, later in the day, the turtles become active. No swimming though. Fishing is not allowed on the property but is allowed, with permit, on the beach.

Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished throughout, MARGARITA VILLA's bedrooms and living areas are each equipped with an HDTV and connected Roku streaming capability; just bring your own logins from your favorite streaming services or your cable provider.

The kitchens are well-equipped with the glassware, dinnerware, serving ware, and cookware needed to create meals for your group. You will also find coffee bars with drip brewers, k-cup makers, electric kettles, and an espresso machine.

And, of course, we have Margarita glasses (Sorry...Margaritas are not included).

At night, prepare to sleep well in the 2 Master bedrooms w/ensuite baths, or in the extra bedroom with a queen and twin bed while the kids all gather in the bunk bed room (2x twin-over-full bunks). All mattresses are comfortable, highly rated, and we provide plenty of pillows!

Great family vacation!
The location of this house is just perfect. Easy access to beach and pool. The kids and grandparents had no problems walking to the beach such a short distance. The tunnel makes it so easy. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you for providing so many supplies and amenities.

Highly recommend
Everything about our accommodations was great. The only slight issue with our stay was the very loud kids next door but that had nothing to do with our unit. It's hard to control others actions. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Kramer

Host profile image
Welcome fellow travelers!

We're Vicki & Chuck: grandparents, retired, and living our lives exploring amazing destinations.

We've been hosts for 7+ years and have hundreds of great reviews from our guests. We love what we do and we put our hosting earnings back into the vacation rental community.

Message us if you have any questions or concerns. We do our best to give every guest a great experience. So, let us show you we can earn your 5-star review.

Why they chose this property

At retirement, we decided to look for a place that we would want to spend a lot of time at. Destin, with its beautiful white sand beaches and clear emerald waters was at the top of our list.

When we found Destiny Beach Villas, we couldn't wait until one came up for sale. When it did, we jumped on it. We love the location with it's proximity to the beach and lakefront views. It is also within minutes of a variety of restaurants, attractions, retail stores, and more beaches!

The upper unit has been recently remodeled into a luxury unit, with incredible touches throughout. Then, we decided to share our home by renting it so others could enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Want to go to the beach? Just walk out the front door and take a 4 minute walk across the street, or through the pedestrian tunnel, and you are there!

And when you are done, come back to Margarita Villa and relax on one of the rear decks and with its great view of the lake.
