More About Villa Playa
Villa Playa is a luxurious vacation rental house directly across the street from the Gulf of Mexico, located within the prestigious, gated, beach-front community of Destiny by the Sea. This home's impressive 5,010 sq.ft. interior and architecture, featuring stone columns and 12' foot ceilings accented by multi-tier crown molding and beautiful artworks, make this one of the most opulent homes in Destin. Guests can enjoy the private dip pool out back or walk to the large community pool and hot tub just a block away. The community beach access is also just steps away!
From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by a stunning exterior and the tasteful elegance of the new furnishings that adorn the interior. The first floor houses a bunk room and a king suite. The bunk room is furnished with two queen beds and four twin beds. It shares access to the hall bathroom with a standalone shower. The king suite includes a sitting area with a sectional sofa, flat screen TV, DVD player, and stocked bookshelves. It's the perfect lounging area for laid-back days. Guests can also step out to the private pool, accessed through the king suite. Rounding out the king suite is an en-suite bathroom with a combination shower/tub. Additionally, the first floor holds a large laundry room and a wet bar with accessories for preparing drinks and cocktails.
The second floor houses the home's main living areas, a half bath, and a king suite. The king suite offers a flat-screen TV, DVD, chair, and an en-suite bathroom with a combination shower/tub. The living areas include a gourmet kitchen, dining area, and living room. The dining area showcases a beautiful table with seating for all guests, surrounded by contemporary chairs that perfectly complement the overall aesthetic. The room is adorned with chic lighting fixtures, casting a warm and welcoming glow over your dining experience. The kitchen has been fully updated with state-of-the-art appliances, sleek countertops, and ample storage space. It's a culinary haven, ready to cater to your every need, whether you're preparing a simple breakfast or a gourmet feast. The combination of functionality and style makes it a joy to cook and entertain in this space. It is complete with Viking appliances and a gas cooktop on the center island. All necessary appliances are supplied including a standard coffee maker, Cuisinart coffee maker, toaster, rack, and more. Down a few steps, the living room features plush sofas and armchairs, perfectly positioned to create an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Doors open up to the large balcony with peeking gulf views and a Blackstone outdoor gas griddle. There is also a large flat screen and Blu-ray player great for entertaining!
The third floor houses a double queen suite and spacious master suite. The double queen suite offers two queen beds, a flat-screen TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a combination shower/tub.
