Ultimate getaway!
Where to begin, the ultimate location and getaway for our family. The reviews and pictures all were accurate and we were pleasantly pleased upon arrival. The hosts go above and beyond to make the trip seamless. The digital guidebook was such a perfect traveling touch. Cozy beds, beautiful showers and accommodations. We found absolutely everything we needed and more. Our whole family found it to be a home away for the week. We didn’t want to leave…… and will certainly be back. We enjoyed being able to walk to dinner and the beach while also enjoyed neighboring towns. Don’t miss this rental, truly a find!

Never wanted to leave!
Chuck is the consummate host and this rental is the best we have ever stayed in. The deck is really comfortable and the view is every bit as great as the photo represents. The walk to the beach was only a few minutes and the pool was in terrific shape. The unit was very clean (kudos to Chuck's cleaners) and the unexpected goodies that awaited us were very welcome. The handwritten and personal note was the icing on the cake. It will be difficult to stay in any other Vrbo after staying here.

This place was amazing!
We had an amazing four night stay at this wonderful place hosted by Chuck and Vicki! It was so well stocked and everything that you needed to make your stay more comfortable. They had a variety of snacks, coffee and teas, and beach supplies. The mattresses are very comfortable. The beach was located right across the street, such a short walk, and an outdoor front and back deck with furniture for your enjoyment. We even were able to feed the turtles in the lake behind the unit. See you next year!! 😍🥳😎☀️

Great Location
The Villa was right across the street from the beach, very easy and short walk. Villa was just as described, had all the kitchen amenities needed to cook meals, toiletries provided were helpful. Having the pack n play and highchair were also great to have there waiting for us, less to pack when traveling with little ones. The digital handbook was also very handy, all the information you needed at your fingertips.

About the host

We've been hosts for 7+ years and have hundreds of great reviews from providing great stays. We love what we do and we put our hosting earnings back into the vacation rental community.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We do our best to give every guest a great experience. So, let us know how we can earn your 5-star review.

Why they chose this property

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!

What makes this property unique

Want to go to the beach? Just walk out the front door and 200 steps later you are there! Being this close means no worries with loading up the car, driving to it, searching for parking, then repeating the whole process when leaving. Use our provided beach cart to load the chairs and toys for an easy stroll to the silver sands. There is even have a tunnel so you can avoid crossing the road if you wish!

And when you are done, come back to Margarita Villa A and relax on the rear deck and with its great view of the lake, or sit on the balcony with its partial view of the gulf.

Coffee lover? We have a great coffee bar setup that includes an espresso machine, French Press, k-cup, drip-brewer, electric water kettle, and a variety of teas.
