We ❤️ our Vrbo guests!

Experience the perfect Destin beach getaway at Margarita Villa B, our charming ground-floor duplex located just steps from the Gulf's sugar-white sands.

We are closed for August while we finish up some renovations. These include new floors, paint, kitchen remodel, and we will be adjusting the 2nd bedroom to just 1 bunk bed (twin/full). We will sleep a max of 7 people with the sofa bed. New descriptions and photos will be posted when the work is complete.

This villa offers the unique combination of a peaceful waterfront setting and ultra-convenient beach access via a pedestrian tunnel (no busy roads to cross!). Whether you're watching the turtles from the deck or enjoying the heated community pool just 50 steps away, this is the ultimate home base for a stress-free family vacation.
