This home is a perfect family retreat for guests with small children who may need a quiet respite from the noon hours of the sun, and yet is an easy golf cart trip to dinner, shopping, or the movies.

With soaring 20-foot ceilings and custom murals, no detail for absolute comfort has been overlooked, from the power recliner to the crisp bedding. Even the laundry room has been made ready with an iron and ironing board, a folding counter, full-size washer and dryer, and even a laundry sorting hamper. A street-legal golf cart is included with your stay and can be used up and down Scenic 98 going to restaurants, the grocery store, or shopping. Of course, the golf cart may be used within Destiny East to access its multiple community swimming pools and hot tubs, on-site movie theater, elegant clubhouse, tennis courts, putting green, and playground. There is even a ping-pong table for the teens to challenge each other.

Downstairs, the dining table seats six, and five more can comfortably sit at the countertop bar in the adjoining kitchen which is well-outfitted with a full array of stemware, cookware, and kitchen gadgets for the vacationing gourmet.

On the first floor are two bedrooms. The master king suite has an ensuite full bathroom that opens to the back deck and also features a double-twin trundle bed. In the closet in each bedroom, there are extra blankets, pillows, and an oscillating fan to ensure guests are comfortable no matter who sets the thermostat. The second bedroom downstairs has two queen beds and a full bath.

Upstairs on the second floor is a powder room/half bath, a large master suite, and a game room with lounging area open to the living room below, featuring a ping pong table, TV with DVD player, speaker system, and a queen sleeper sofa with a new memory foam mattress. Extra TV channels include HBO, Disney, and Nickelodeon. The upstairs master suite is expansive, with an oversized walk-in closet housing two twin rollaway beds with new memory foam mattresses and extra pillows and blankets. In addition to the king bed, there is a sitting area with a comfy chair, a desk for guests needing to work, and the room features a private balcony overlooking the pool area below. The en suite master bath has a large jetted Jacuzzi tub with twin sinks and a separate water closet.

Villa Royale also offers an outdoor oasis hidden right outside the back. The deck is a perfect family gathering spot and features an outdoor shower, and a cozy sitting area to relax. There is also an outdoor dining table that seats six with an umbrella and even a toddler-sized picnic table, as well as a gas grill that is perfect for cooking the catch of the day while watching the kids swim. Down a few steps to the pool deck, guests can nap or sunbathe in lounge chairs next to the organically shaped pool and serene landscaping.

Pool heating can be added for $50 per day plus tax and is charged for the entire length of stay.

Perfect Spot for a Getaway

The house was gorgeous and very comfortable for our party of 9! Their description is very accurate. They had everything we needed! The property managers were great to work with, quick, and helpful with the few minor things that went wrong on our stay! We hope to stay again next year on our return to Destin!

A++ property, owner, and property manager

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My hesitation leaving a review is fear based, I don't want anyone else to go and take up the availability! My family and I had the best vacation maybe ever. Frangista properties is by far the greatest, most responsive, honest and professional property manager on VRBO. Cleanest VRBO we've visited. Description is perfect. Only minor negative has nothing to do with the property or property manager but the community HOA and the absurd regulations and fines. If I could attach a picture I would show the security guard on a golf cart writing a $50 ticket because pine straw was blown by the wind onto the driveway and it touched the tire of our rental car and that incurred a fine even though we were on the driveway. The security guard was really upset coach didn't put him in the 4th quarter of the last football game in high school and he's loving his authority.

Excellent Stay

This property was perfect for our family. It is a short golf cart drive to the beach. It came with all the beach toys and supplies that we would ever need, and the toy panty in the house was amazing for out 3 and 6 year old. The pool was the perfect size and temperature. Everything in the house was very clean. At first the long list of rules is a little off-putting, but really all of the rules are very reasonable things.

Well equipped, clean and well managed.

Family of 5 (w/ 10, 15 & 17 yos) on Spring Break late March 2025. House was as described (lots to do). Kitchen very well stocked. Pool was awesome (we paid for the heat - glad we did). Upstairs gaming included Ping pong, Pac-Man, chess and life size connect 4-games. All 5 of us played there each night. Swam in the pool everyday. Short golf cart ride or walk to the white sand beach and then the pool and pickleball / basketball courts at the clubhouse were great too. Played pickleball most days. Very nice gated community. Perfect for our group. Property manager, Frangista, communicated often. Called us to confirm our check in plans, the pool heat and go over the golf cart. They gave us a number to text or call if problems. They were responsive throughout. Very prompt, even at weird times. We'd stay again, for sure.
