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 from approximately Oct 15 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!

— THINGS TO KNOW —

We do want you to enjoy your time in our home, but we cannot allow our permit or home to be put at risk. Our rules will be enforced and the city strongly enforces capacity and noise restrictions.

We use approved noise monitoring devices to monitor noise levels (they do *NOT* record audio). If the noise level exceeds acceptable levels, you'll be contacted. Repeated issues may lead to termination of your access to the property without refund.

We have actively recording security cameras in the front of the home, with no interior views.

We enjoy hosting and sharing our home with others and have been doing it for many years. But, we have firm rules that cannot be broken and, if they are, will result in immediate removal with no refunds. These are:

* No animals under any circumstances.
* Events/parties are prohibited.
* No smoking of any kind.
* Don't exceed the number of people on the booking. Maximum occupancy is 12. Exceeding can result in a fine by the City of Destin and/or Okaloosa County, as well as a fee from the host of $250 per person per night.
* Drugs and other illegal activities are not welcome and will be reported.
* Third-party bookings can not be accepted.
* Intentional damage is not tolerated.
* If any mattresses have been “wet”, loss of full damage deposit will result.
* Seems obvious, but do not sit on furniture when you are wet or have applied sunblock.

Remember...you are not staying in a hotel, you are staying in our home. While there is nobody onsite, our team is just a phone call or message away and we are available by email, text, or message.
