3 Min to Beach! Waterfront 4BR Villa | Heated Pool | No Road to Cross | Destin
We ❤️ our Vrbo Guests!
Welcome to Margarita Villa—the ultimate 4-bedroom lakefront beach retreat where the emerald Gulf meets total relaxation.
Why choose between a lake view and a beach walk when you can have both?
Margarita Villa is a unique "double unit" (connected by an interior staircase & connecting door) that gives your group double of everything: 2 kitchens, 2 living areas, and 2 massive waterfront decks. It is the perfect setup for multi-generational families or "friend-cations" who want to be together while still having their own private floors to retreat to.
⏤ THE HIGHLIGHTS ⏤
・3-Minute Stroll to Sand: Use our private pedestrian tunnel to reach the beach safely—no roads to cross!
・Waterfront Zen: We sit directly on the shores of Four Prong Lake. Watch turtles, herons, and waterfowl from your private decks.
・Heated Pool: Just 50 steps from your front door (Heated approximately Oct 15–Easter).
・Beach Ready: We provide high-quality backpack chairs, wagons, and toys to save you luggage space.
・Work-Cation Ready: 1 Gigabit Mesh Wi-Fi handles multiple streaming devices and Zoom calls with ease.
⏤ THE SPACE & LAYOUT ⏤
Margarita Villa is designed for large groups who value both community and privacy. The home features a single-level interior layout on each floor, connected by an internal staircase.
Lower Level:
・Master Suite: King Bed with ensuite bath (tub/shower combo).
・The Bunk Room: 2 Twin-over-Full bunk beds—the ultimate "kids' headquarters."
・Living/Dining: Fully equipped kitchen, dining for 6, and a large lakefront deck with outdoor dining.
・Guest Bath: Full hall bath with tub/shower combo.
Upper Level:
・Master Suite: King Bed with ensuite bath (walk-in shower).
・Guest Bedroom: 1 Queen bed and 1 Twin bed (perfect for a small family unit).
・Living/Dining: Recently remodeled luxury kitchen, dining for 4, and an elevated lakefront deck with comfortable lounge seating.
・Guest Bath: Full hall bath with tub/shower combo.
⏤ NEARBY ADVENTURES ⏤
One of the best things about our location in Crystal Beach/Destin is how close you are to everything:
・180 Steps: The Crab Trap Restaurant & Beach Bar (and the beach playground!).
・1.7 Miles: Destin Commons (Shopping, Dining, AMC Theater).
・3.6 Miles: Henderson Beach State Park.
・5.0 Miles: Silver Sands Premium Outlets.
・13 Miles: Destin Harbor & HarborWalk Village.
⏤ HOUSE RULES & BOOKING REQUIREMENTS (FIRM) ⏤
We love hosting families and responsible groups! To maintain our 5-star standard and comply with local laws, we require the following:
Agreement & ID: The primary renter (25+) must e-sign our Rental Agreement and provide a government-issued ID within 24 hours of booking.
Security Deposit: A $500 refundable security hold is placed on your card 2 days before arrival.
Strict "No" List: We have a strict No Pet policy due to severe owner allergies. No parties, and no smoking or vaping of any kind, no glitter, and no dyes on the property.
Occupancy: Max occupancy is 12. This is a City of Destin law and is strictly enforced.
Noise: We use noise-decibel monitors (volume only; no recording) to protect our neighbors and adhere to City regulations, which designate . Quiet Hours are 10 PM – 8 AM.
Parking: Free parking for up to 4 vehicles. Permits are provided and must be displayed at all times to avoid towing. Being so close to the beach, we would be overrun with beachgoers without this requirement.
⏤ ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE & INSURANCE ⏤
Your stay includes up to $500 of accidental damage coverage at no extra cost to you. This covers minor, reported accidents. Coverage expires exactly at checkout, so any damage must be reported prior to departing in order to be covered. There are some exceptions, such as linens and bedding, and "missing" items.
Because we do not refund for weather, travel delays, or health emergencies, we strongly recommend purchasing Travel Insurance for your peace of mind.
Please be sure to read our house rules for all details, this is only a concise summary.

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 the best beach day ever? Just walk out the front door and take a 3-minute stroll through the private pedestrian tunnel—no traffic, no stress. When you're done, come back to the "Villa" to grill out or relax on the decks with serene lake views. It’s the most seamless beach experience in Destin.
