A recent guest of MARGARITA VILLA A wrote: 'The perfect AirBNB does exist and this place is it! “Above and beyond” does not do these hosts justice. The home was absolutely spotless and the hosts have thought of every possible detail to make guests feel welcome & comfortable. I truly did not want to leave! The deck overlooking the water is to die for - I wish I could post some of the pictures I took! I will 100% return in the future. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway!'
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 —
MARGARITA VILLA A is the top unit of a duplex. It has 2 bedrooms; a Master with a king bed and ensuite bathroom, and a 2nd bedroom with queen and a twin beds (not bunks). A second full bath is in the hall.
It is an ideal layout for a couple's getaway, family vacation, or a friend-cation.
Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished, each bedroom and the living area have ceiling fans and an HDTV with Roku streaming capability; just bring your own logins from your favorite streaming services or for your cable provider.
With a separate entrance and deck, there are no shared spaces.
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 the lake. Watch the waterfowl, fish, and turtles go about their activities. We even have a lakeside walking path. No swimming/boating/fishing though.
— KITCHEN —
MARGARITA VILLA A has a well-equipped kitchen with 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, spaces are not assigned. Parking passes are required and provided in-unit and *must* be displayed, or vehicles may be towed.
As we are directly across from the beach, parking rules are vigorously enforced to ensure sufficient parking for residents and guests. Even our parking lot is in high demand!
Rented golf carts count as one of the 2 permitted vehicles and must display a permit.
— HOME LAYOUT —
A floor-plan of MARGARITA VILLA A can be found in the photos.
Enter from the main door 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 at MARGARITA VILLA A has access to the balcony with a partial view of the Gulf. A bistro set is there for enjoying your morning coffee or after-dinner beverage.
In the living room, a door opens onto the spacious lakefront deck with comfortable outdoor seating and umbrella.
