Read our FULL description so you get all of the wonderful details!

This ground floor unit in Destiny Beach Villas provides a splendid accommodation for your stay and includes a bunk bed room for the kids. Only 3 steps needed to enter the home. 

It is only 200 steps to the beach, with a tunnel under the road to avoid crossing traffic.! Swim in 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 for the kids and a public bath-house/restrooms. With a license, you can even surf fish on the beach!

50 steps to pool -- heated Oct 1 until Easter (HOA may reduce heating for low demand or weather). The pool area includes restrooms w/showers, and plenty of seating. Pool hours are 8am-10pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult -- there is no lifeguard on duty.

For early risers, the sunrises can be magnificent. Late sleepers can catch one of our famous sunsets on the beach.

Work remotely, attend virtual meetings or online school with our high-speed Internet service with the latest mesh WiFi technology. 

Margarita Villa B  has 2 bedrooms; a Master with ensuite bathroom, and a 2nd bedroom with a two twin/full bunk beds that kids just LOVE! A second full bath is in the hall. The home is setup with a well-equipped kitchen and a living area with a large HDTV equipped with Roku. It’s an ideal layout for a long family vacation, a quick getaway, or a friend-cation.

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

The rear deck overlooks Four Prong Lake, with water so clear that you can see the bottom for quite some ways out from shore. Watch the waterfowl, fish, and the myriad of turtles that live in the lake. There is a lakeside walking path. Swimming/boating/fishing in the lake is not allowed. 

The unit has its own water heater and an HVAC system with smart thermostat and ceiling fans for your maximum comfort. With its own entrance and private lakefront deck, there are no shared areas

—— HOME LAYOUT ——

A floor plan can be found in the photos.

You enter into the living area which extends to the kitchen/dining area. To the right of the kitchen will be a hall with the laundry center, entry to a bathroom with tub/shower, and the bedroom with bunk beds and closet. At the end of the hall is the Master bedroom with king bed, closet, and ensuite bath with a tub/shower.

Both bedrooms have exterior doors that open onto the front porch, where you will find chairs and a bench for enjoying your morning coffee or after-dinner beverage.

From the living room, an exterior door opens onto the lakefront deck with outdoor dining table.

—— KITCHEN ——

The kitchen is well-equipped with the glassware, dinnerware, serving ware, and cookware needed to create meals for your group. There is even a coffee bar area with a drip-brewer, k-cup maker, and an electric kettle. With a microwave, dishwasher, oven and cooktop, and a larger refrigerator, there is plenty of room to store food, prepare meals, and then clean-up.

And, of course, there are Margarita glasses, but you need to provide your own Margaritas.

—— PARKING ——

Guests can park up to 2 vehicles in the lot. Spaces are not assigned, but parking passes are provided. If you choose to rent a golf cart during your visit, it counts as one of the 2 vehicles.

The permits *must* be displayed or vehicles will be towed. The community vigorously enforces parking to ensure residents and guests have access to parking. Its a consequence of being across from the beach. Even our parking lot is in high-demand!

* Our team does their best, but is just not possible to inventory every item after every stay. If we have not been alerted by a guest that they have used some these things so we can replenish it, you may not find it to be present. In everyone’s interest, we do ask that guests try to replace what they use — in terms of foil, salt/pepper, spices, oils, first aid items, etc.

—— BOOKING INFORMATION ——

We charge NO fees other than a cleaning fee of up to $275 per stay (varies seasonally). Booking sites may add their own fees.

We offer optional mid-stay cleans as well. Contact us for pricing.

A refundable security deposit of $300 is required, done by placing a hold on the credit card you provide. The hold is released after departure and a ckear inspection has been done - generally within 3-7 days.

Once the reservation is made, we will send a confirmation email with a link and instructions to finalize the booking. If you do not see it in your Inbox within an hour, check your "junk mail" folder.

The Renter of record must:
・be at least 25 yrs of age,
・provide a valid government-issued ID, 
・be present during the whole stay (No third-party bookings),
・place a credit card with us for the security deposit,
・sign our rental agreement, and

Important: The renter agreement, contact info, and credit card for the deposit must be completed within 24 hours or your reservation may be cancelled.

Our pricing is updated frequently to reflect local rental trends, our availability, demand, and other factors. Rental rates can rise or fall accordingly and are not locked until reservation is completed.

▶︎ Our cancellation policy is: cancellations at least 30 days before the scheduled arrival will receive a full refund of monies paid less a 3% fee.

▶︎ We cannot accommodate early arrivals or late checkouts. 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.

▶︎ After booking, we will send you an invitation to our Margarita Villa digital guidebook. It contains the info you will need, including:

  • door code (48 hrs before arrival),
  • directions,
  • Wifi instructions.
  • local attractions and restaurants,
  • and much more!

We are constantly updating and adding information. You can view it on the web, save as a PDF, print it, or save it to your phone's homescreen for easy access.  No app to download!


—— TRAVEL INSURANCE ——

We *strongly* encourage you to consider acquiring travel insurance if you have any concerns about needing to cancel for any reason, including inclement weather.

You will be presented with potential options at checkout, from our service providers. We are not involved in the transaction in any way. You can, of course, find many online sources of travel protection policies.  There may be deadlines to purchase coverage.

—— ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE COVERAGE ——

We cover your booking for up to $500 of accidental damages at no additional cost to you. This is "no-hassle coverage" that protects against breakage and other accidental damage. There is no need to select this coverage from the listing site.

Basic guidelines of the accidental damage coverage are:

・Guest must report damage, with photo(s), at the time it occurs to consider it for coverage. That is generally the only thing a guest needs to do.
・Damage reported after departure will not be covered.
・Coverage does not include stained or damaged linens, bedding, towels, or missing items.

Costs for damages that exceed our coverage or are excluded will be charged against the security deposit, then to the card on file if necessary.

—— TOP RULES ——

We enjoy hosting and sharing our home with others and have been doing it for several years. We've received many 5-star reviews, letters expressing appreciation, and repeat guests. The house rules are outlined here in the listing as well as in communications you will receive from us. But, we have a few serious rules that, if broken, will result in immediate termination of stay with no refunds and forfeiture of deposit. These are:
  • Animals are not allowed under any circumstances.
  • Events or parties are prohibited.
  • No smoking of any kind in home or on decks.
  • You cannot exceed the number of people on your booking.
  • Drugs or other illegal activities are not tolerated and will be reported.
  • We do not accept third-party bookings.
There are interior and exterior noise monitoring devices to ensure that we, or our guests, do not violate City of Destin noise ordinances and the prohibition of parties and events. If the noise level exceeds acceptable levels, you will be contacted. These all protect against false reports.

There are video cameras outside the front of the home. There are no interior views.

Please remember that you are not staying in a hotel, you are staying in our home. While there is nobody onsite, our Housekeeping/Maintenance team is available by email, text, or message.

We like to be certain our guests have read the whole description. Please mention "Destin Rocks!" in your inquiry to confirm this for us.

Retired from a long and worthwhile career in technology, government, and executive management involving significant domestic and International travel (Chuck). Retired with extensive customer service and hospitality experience and skills as a former Disney cast member (Vicki). Together, we decided to become hosts and manage our own short-term rental. Our first venture was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee - gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It was a success. We added a few more in the same area and created 'Our Smoky Mountain Rentals' to handle the listings. Then we decided to add a beach property and settled on Destin, FL area! Not long after we were able to offer a handful of listings in Destin and Miramar Beach as 'Silver Sands Rentals'. We have since consolidated all of our listings under our new brand, 'Remarkable Vacation Rentals'. We have enjoyed every moment of our hosting journey. The delight that comes with knowing that a group of friends, or a family, has made lasting memories in one of our homes is always a thrill, no matter how often it happens. Our guests write such wonder reviews and messages to us describing their experiences and how much they enjoyed their stays. As a result, we get a lot of repeat guests too! Look over our listings and join the hundreds of families and groups who have called one of our Remarkable Vacation Rentals "home" for their visit.
