Why they chose this property
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!
What makes this property unique
Want to go to the beach? Just walk out the front door and 200 steps later 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. There is even have a tunnel so you can avoid crossing the road if you wish!
And when you are done, come back to Margarita Villa A 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.
Coffee lover? We have a great coffee bar setup that includes an espresso machine, French Press, k-cup, drip-brewer, electric water kettle, and a variety of teas.
