Great Family Vacation Spot

Great location and a wonderful house. Perfect for our family as we bounced back and forth from the beach to the pool. We loved feeding the turtles each morning as we started our day. It was so nice having beach chairs, a wagon, and many toys available to use. We were a little worried about the spring break crowd since it was our first time to Destin and didn’t know the area. However, this ended up being a perfect spot for our family. Hope to come back soon!

Kitchen very well stocked- pancake griddle, blender and ample kitchen supplies were definitely a bonus. Nicely decorated. We would definitely stay here again.

Location is perfect! Home was as presented. Smaller kitchen/living area but we didn’t spend much time there so it was sufficient. The patio was perfect and we got to see the turtles! Hosts are very kind and responsive. Home is a little older but worked for everything we needed. They were kind enough to leave a welcome gift of snacks too which my teenager attacked immediately!

Perfect place by the beach

While the weather was not the best, that certainly is no reflection on the hosts. Chuck and Vicki were tremendous and the place was immaculate. It was so close to the beach it should be advertised as beachfront. We found it to be easier than some condos on the beach we have rented before. The pool is perfect for the community and was heated nicely. The real gem here is the lakefront location. Its gorgeous. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and hope to be back. Thank you Chuck and Vicki!

Comfy & Relaxed Time

When arriving for our stay we found the home clean & very welcoming. The kitchen had what we needed to cook several meals while there. Several spices supplied & a crockpot which we were happy to have. Before our arrival we were notified that the above stove microwave was not working but a new counter top microwave was purchased so we would have one to use for our stay. Ample bath towels & beach towels were supplied plus a couple of lap size blankets to wrap up in while watching TV. The beds were very comfy & the pillows were great. We loved the location, just a short walk to the beach. Totally enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had

Five star

Our experience at Margarita Villa was just super! The home was clean and had everything we could want for our vacation stay. The deck overlooking the lake was my favorite spot. The turtles and food to feed them were a pleasant surprise. The added touches in the house were so appreciated: coffee pods, sugar, salt/pepper, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry pods, hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels... and the beach accessories were perfect for our family (chairs, umbrella, toys)! The pool and deck are lovely, providing a quiet and clean place to swim and relax. The beach and beautiful water was just as advertised- a short walk away. There is a wagon at the house to haul your beach goodies, but we found it just as easy to carry our own chairs. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great Location! Perfect Find.

We had the best stay at Margarita Villa B. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short walk to the beach which was perfect for my pregnant wife & our 3 year old. There is public parking right across the street if you need to drive for any reason as well. The pool is conveniently located to the house. The deck overlooking the lake was perfect for having our morning coffee. We absolutely loved that the hosts left turtle food, our 3 year old looked forward to feeding them every morning. We appreciated the abundance of beach toys, chairs & the beach cart! It made life a whole lot easier for us. We did bring a few beach toys, but could have gotten away with not bringing anything at all! The kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials such as coffee pods, dishwasher pods, snacks for arrival & all of your basic cooking seasonings.. etc. We are so pleased with our stay, and we will definitely be back! Our vacation was nothing short of perfect. Thank you to Chuck & Vicki for being such great hosts! We look forward to checking out your smoky mountain rentals as well.
