Please read the FULL description for all the wonderful details!

Margarita Villa A is located in the coveted Destiny Beach Villas in Crystal Beach!

Across from the clear emerald waters of the Gulf. Hop the waves, sunbathe in the Florida sun, or play in the powder-like white sands of America's #1 beach. There is even a playground and bath-house with restrooms!

If you are flying in, or have a full vehicle, you'll ♥ that we provide beach chairs, beach cart, toys, and beach towels. 

For early risers, the sunrises can be magnificent. Otherwise, be sure to catch one of our famous sunsets on the beach or from the deck.

The pool is 50 steps away. It's heated at Thanksgiving and Dec 18 - Mar 31 (HOA may reduce heating for low occupancy/demand or weather). The pool area has a rinse station/shower, restrooms, and plenty of seating - but no lifeguard on duty. Pool hours are 8am to 10pm.

— THE HOME —

The top unit of a duplex, it has 2 bedrooms; a Master with a king bed and ensuite bathroom, and a 2nd bedroom with a queen and a twin bed (not bunks). A second full bath is in the hall.

Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished, each bedroom and the living area has ceiling fans and an HDTV with Roku streaming capability; just bring your own logins from your favorite streaming services or your cable provider -- Roku offers a wealth of options, including many free streaming channels.

With a separate entrance and deck, there are no shared spaces.

It is an ideal layout for a couple's getaway, family vacation, or a friend-cation.

The unit has its own high-capacity water heater and HVAC system with smart thermostat for your maximum comfort.

High-speed Internet is provided to get some work done, attend virtual meetings, or online school while staying! 

The spacious rear deck is setup to relax and enjoy the view of Four Prong Lake, generally so clear that you can see the bottom for quite some ways out from shore. Watch the waterfowl, fish, and turtles go about their activities. There is a lakeside walking path. No swimming/boating/fishing though. 

— KITCHEN —

The well-equipped kitchen has all of the glassware, dinnerware, and cookware needed to create meals for your group. There is a coffee bar with a drip-brewer, k-cup brewer, coffee grinder, coffee press, and an espresso machine. The microwave, dishwasher, oven/cooktop, electric griddle, and a larger refrigerator (more room to store food) make it a great place to prepare meals.

And, there are Margarita glasses. Sorry, but Margaritas are not included.

— PARKING —

Up to 2 vehicles are allowed, s spaces are not assigned.  If you choose to rent a golf cart, it counts as one of the 2 permitted vehicles.

Parking passes are required and provided and *must* be displayed, or vehicles may be towed. Due to being directly across from the beach, the community vigorously enforces this to ensure there is sufficient parking for residents and guests. 

Even our parking lot is in high demand!

— HOME LAYOUT —

A floor-plan can be found in the photos.

Enter from the main door on the side of the home and proceed up the stairway into the kitchen/dining area that extends to the living area. On the right is the hall with a bath with tub/shower, the bedroom with queen and twin beds, and the Master bedroom with king bed and ensuite bath with a large glass-enclosed shower, bidet, glowing blue-light mirror, and vanity-top lighted facial mirror with bluetooth audio.

Each bedroom has a door that opens onto the balcony, where there is a bistro set for enjoying your morning coffee or after-dinner beverage with a partial view of the Gulf.

In the living room, a door opens onto the spacious lakefront deck with comfortable outdoor seating.

A cleaning fee of up to $210 per stay (varies seasonally) is added at checkout. Mid-stay cleans are available -- message us for pricing.

WE do not add any other fees.

A refundable security deposit of $300 is required by placing a hold on the card you provide. The hold is released after departure and the inspection is done.

Bookings cancelled at least 30 days before the scheduled arrival time will receive a full refund of monies paid, less a 3% fee.

Be sure to understand our cancellation policy as detailed in the renter agreement. We will not be responsible for any cancellations outside of our policy - that is what Travel Insurance is for.

We usury cannot accommodate requests for early arrival or late checkout. In the very rare situations where we can, there is an additional charge of $50 for the first hour and $25 for each additional 30 minutes.

Pricing may change before booking as it is updated frequently to reflect local rental trends, our availability, demand, and other factors.

— TRAVEL INSURANCE —

We **STRONGLY** recommend obtaining Travel Insurance for your trip, especially if you are concerned about possible cancellation due to health emergencies, government policies, inclement weather, or other reasons.

You will have the opportunity to purchase a policy offered by our service provider -- we are not a party to that transaction. You can also buy coverage from many online sources, but make sure you are clear on what they do and do not cover.

— DAMAGE INSURANCE —

We cover all of our bookings for up to $500 of accidental damage that may occur, such as broken dishes, damaged furniture or fixtures, etc. This is "no-hassle coverage" and at no cost to the guest.

Guests are required to report the damage *during* the stay for damage/loss to be eligible for coverage. Damage discovered afterwards is not eligible for coverage and will be charged to the security deposit or card on file.

Coverage does not include damaged or stained bedding and linens, intentional damage, missing items, or costs for shipping, rush fees, or off-hours labor costs.

• and more.

We are constantly updating/adding information.

— TOP RULES —

We enjoy hosting and sharing our home with others and have been doing it for several years. We've received many 5★ reviews, letters expressing appreciation, and have a large number of repeat guests.

But, we do have a few firm rules that cannot be broken and, if they are, will result in immediate termination of stay with no refunds and forfeiture of the deposit. These are:

1. No animals under any circumstances.
2. Events/parties are prohibited.
3. No smoking of any kind in the home or on the decks.
4. You cannot exceed the number of people on your booking at any time.
5. Drugs or other illegal activities are not welcome and will be reported.

Interior and exterior noise level monitoring devices are present to monitor for violations of City of Destin noise ordinances and the prohibition of parties and events. If the noise level exceeds acceptable levels, you will be contacted. They also protect our guests against potentially inaccurate reports.

There are external video cameras in the front of the home, covering the parking lot and sidewalk, to help us verify compliance and keep an eye on the exterior of the property. No interior views.

Remember, you are not staying in a hotel, you are staying in our home. That comes with a lot of advantages and amenities hotels cannot offer. Please respect it and our neighbors.  While there is no "front desk" , our team is available by email, text, or message.
