MARGARITA VILLA B is our ground floor unit of our Destiny Beach Villas duplex. It's a splendid accommodation for your stay, and includes a bunk bed room for the kids. Only 3 steps needed to enter the home.

Just 200 steps to the beach, with a tunnel under the road to avoid crossing traffic!

Swim in the emerald waters of the Gulf, hop the waves, sunbathe in the Florida sun, or play in the powder-like white sands of America's #1 beach. There is even a beach playground for the kids and a public bath-house/restrooms. With a license, you can surf fish on the beach!

Just 50 steps to the pool -- heated at Thanksgiving & 12/18-3/31 (HOA may adjust dates w/out notice for low demand or weather). The pool area includes restrooms w/showers, outdoor rinse station, and plenty of seating. Pool hours are 8am-10pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No lifeguard on duty.

For early risers, the beach sunrises can be magnificent. Otherwise, be sure to catch one of our famous sunsets.

Work remotely, attend virtual meetings, or participate in online school with our high-speed Internet (1gb Cox Cable) using the latest mesh Wi-Fi technology.

MARGARITA VILLA B has 2 bedrooms; a Master w/ensuite bathroom, and a 2nd bedroom w/2 twin/full bunk beds that kids just LOVE! A second full bath is in the hall.

The home has a well-equipped kitchen and a living area with HD Roku TV. It's an ideal layout for a family vacation, a quick getaway, or a friend-cation.

Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished, each bedroom and the living area has ceiling fans and a Roku HDTV; just bring your logins from your favorite streaming services or cable/satellite provider. Roku offers a ton of free TV and movie options as well.

The rear deck of MARGARITA VILLA B overlooks Four Prong Lake, with water so clear that you can see the bottom. Watch the waterfowl, fish, and the myriad of turtles that live in the lake. There is a lakeside walking path. Swimming/boating/fishing in the lake is not allowed.

MARGARITA VILLA B has its own water heater and an HVAC system with smart thermostat and ceiling fans for your maximum comfort. With its own entrance and private lakefront deck, there are no shared areas.

Great Location!
Clean, well stocked home. The bunkbeds worked great for our kids, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed feeding the turtles and the short walk to the beach.

Comfy & Relaxed Time
When arriving for our stay we found the home clean & very welcoming. The kitchen had what we needed to cook several meals while there. Several spices supplied & a crockpot which we were happy to have. Before our arrival we were notified that the above stove microwave was not working but a new counter top microwave was purchased so we would have one to use for our stay. Ample bath towels & beach towels were supplied plus a couple of lap size blankets to wrap up in while watching TV. The beds were very comfy & the pillows were great. We loved the location, just a short walk to the beach. Totally enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had

Perfect place by the beach
While the weather was not the best, that certainly is no reflection on the hosts. Chuck and Vicki were tremendous and the place was immaculate. It was so close to the beach it should be advertised as beachfront. We found it to be easier than some condos on the beach we have rented before. The pool is perfect for the community and was heated nicely. The real gem here is the lakefront location. Its gorgeous. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and hope to be back. Thank you Chuck and Vicki!

Why they chose this property

When we found MARGARITA VILLA at Destiny Beach Villas, we immediately fell in love with the location, the community, and the homes. 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!

What makes this property unique

Want to go to the beach? Just walk out the front door of MARGARITA VILLA B and take a 3-4 minute walk and you are there! Being this close means no worries with loading up the car, driving to it, searching for parking, then repeating the whole process when leaving. Use our provided beach cart to load the chairs and toys for an easy stroll to the silver sands.

We provide high quality beach gear, including a cart, toys, chairs, and even beach towels so that you don't have to lug yours to Destin in your car then lug them back home!

Margarita Villa B is the ground floor, lakefront, and only 50 steps to pool (heated at Thanksgiving and 12/18-3/31. HOA may reduce heating if demand is low or for weather or extend the heating season if appropriate

When you are done, come back to Margarita Villa B and relax on the rear deck and with its great view of the lake, or sit on the balcony with its partial view of the gulf.
