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 just across (or under) the street! The pool is only about 80 feet away! It is heated at Thanksgiving and from approximately December 18 to March 31. Heating may be affected by low occupancy or weather. ► From the front door of the home, it is only about 200 steps to the beach! If you are flying in, or have a full vehicle already, you'll like that we provide high-quality beach chairs with backpack-style straps, a beach wagon, toys, and beach towels. No need to buy them just to abandon. Note that we do not provide umbrellas or inflatables. The unit has 4 bedrooms; 2 King Masters with ensuite bathrooms, a guest bedroom with a queen and twin bed (not bunks), and another guest bedroom with 2 twin/full bunk beds. There are 2 other full baths as well. It is an ideal layout for a family vacation or a friend-cation. 2 well-equipped kitchens with coffee bars and 2 comfortable living areas with sofas, chairs, and HDTVs round out the home. The wall of windows on each floor with the view of the lake is the focus of this space! If your needs are smaller, we also rent the upper and lower floors separately as 2-bedroom units. The top unit (A) is property #48982004 and the lower unit (B) is #48982003. — THE HOME — ► Floor plans can be found in the photos for this listing. On the lower level is a roomy deck with dining table, beach chairs, and a deck box with storage of the other beach items. There is a spacious deck on the upper level with an outdoor sofa and chairs to relax and enjoy the Florida beach weather and the view of the lake. The lower level deck has an outdoor dining table and stores additional beach gear. The rear of the home is directly on the shore of Four Prong Lake. This fresh-water lake is generally so clear that you can see the bottom for quite some ways out from shore. Watch the waterfowl and fish in the mornings, then the turtles become active in the afternoon and evening. There is a lakeside walking path. No swimming or fishing is permitted in the lake though. Fishing is allowed on the beach, with a fishing license. In front of the home, the upper balcony has a cafe table set that offers partial views of the Gulf water. Doors from both upper bedrooms offer access to the balcony. The lower unit has a small porch with access from both bedrooms. The bench and chairs make it a great spot to hangout. Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished throughout, the bedrooms and the living area each have ceiling fans. HDTVs with Roku streaming capability are throughout the home. With Roku Guest mode, just use your logins from your favorite streaming services or cable/satellite account. Roku offers our guests a wealth of options, including many no-cost providers. —— KITCHENS —— Each 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, a k-cup machine, and an electric water kettle. With a garbage disposal, microwave, dishwasher, oven and cooktop, and a larger refrigerator, it is a perfect setting to prepare your meals. The dining table upstairs seats 4 while the table downstairs seats 6. And, of course, there are Margarita glasses. Sorry, but Margaritas are not included. —— THE POOL —— Take a dip in the sparkling swimming pool located less than 50 steps from the front door and on the way to/from the beach! The pool area includes an outdoor rinse station (for removing that beach sand before swimming), restrooms with showers, as well as plenty of seating. Pool hours are generally 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult and there is no lifeguard on duty. Pool is heated atvThanksgiving, tehn from 12/18 until 3/31 as weather and occupancy permits. —— WORK-CATION —— Get some work done, attend virtual meetings and online school, and/or participate in video-conference meetings while visiting! We have a high-speed 1 gigabit Internet service with the latest mesh WiFi technology. This lets many devices be online without interference. —— PARKING —— There is free parking for up to 4 vehicles in the private parking lot. Spaces are not assigned, but parking passes are provided and are strictly required. If you choose to rent a golf cart during your visit, it counts as one of the 4 permitted vehicles. ► Permits *must* be displayed or vehicles will be towed. Due to being right across from the beach, the community vigorously enforces this to ensure there is sufficient parking for residents and our guests. —— WHAT WE PROVIDE —— - bed linens - bath towels & washcloths - hand towels - make-up towels - bath mats - blankets/comforters - beach wagon - beach chairs - beach toys* - beach towels - first aid kit - iron & ironing board - kitchen essentials such as foil, plastic wrap, salt/pepper, basic spices, etc.* - basic cleaners and cleaning tools (sponge, mop, bucket, broom, vacuum)* - starter set of soaps, shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. - pack-n-play & high chair *We and our team do our very best to see that these items are stocked. However, it is not always possible to inventory every single item after every stay since our focus is on cleanliness. If we have not been alerted by a guest that something like salt/pepper or cooking oil has run out so we can replenish it, you might not find it to be present. —— BOOKING INFORMATION —— ▶︎ When your reservation is made, WE (Remarkable Vacation Rentals) will send a confirmation email with a link and instructions to finalize your booking within 24 hours. If you do not see it in your Inbox within an hour, check your "junk mail" folder. This message is important as your booking is not final until the additional steps have been completed. ▶︎ After booking, we will send you the link to our Margarita Villa digital guidebook. This tool contains much information about the home, including address and directions, instructions for the use of appliances, contains WiFi connection information, and includes ideas on restaurants and activities taken from our own experiences. 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 home screen for easy access. ・ A cleaning fee of $350-450, depending on the season, is automatically added at checkout. If AirBNB fails to include it, it will be billed through the AirBNB resolution center. We also offer mid-stay cleans for a small fee, if you desire. Contact us for the exact pricing for your stay. ・ There are NO other mandatory fees from us. ・A refundable security deposit of $500, placed directly with us, is required. This is done by placing a "hold" on the card you provide. The hold is released after departure and inspection, if there are no issues. The Renter of record must: - be at least 25 yrs of age; - be present during the entire stay (no third-party bookings); - provide a copy of a valid government-issued ID; - must e-sign our rental agreement (message us if you want a copy to review before booking); and, - provide names and ages of the entire party. - Our pricing is updated frequently to reflect local rental trends, our availability, demand, and other factors. As those things change, the rental costs can rise or fall accordingly. Get your inquiry in to lock in the rental rates for your dates. ► 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 AirBNB cancellation policy is Airbnb-SS60: The guest will receive a 50% refund, excluding the AirBNB service fees, if cancelled at least 60 days before check-in. ► Check-in time is 4 PM or later and check-out time is 10 AM or earlier. Failure to depart by check-out time will result in a penalty as stipulated in the renter agreement. We regret that we are unable to accommodate any requests for early arrival or late checkout during peak seasons such as Spring Break and Memorial Day through Labor Day. If otherwise available, we may offer early check-in or late check-out to you at an additional cost. Guests have access to the whole home, with the exception of the locked owner storage areas. Access to the pool is also included. We do not impose on your stay with us! You're here to relax and we won't be messaging, calling, or dropping by -- unless you ask us to!. That is just not our style. After your check-in, we will reach out to be sure all is going well. Other than that, we leave you to your own beach adventures! From the home, you can walk to the beach in only 4 minutes. Just 50 steps to the community pool! Margarita Villa is also lakefront on Four Prong Lake!! On the beach is The Crab Trap, a favorite restaurant/beach-bar with locals and visitors. There is a kiddie playground on the beach there. A few minutes drive East will bring you to several other great places, including Kenny D's, Pompano Joe's, and Capt. Dave's. Head West and visit another local favorite, Camille's! Destin Commons, Grand Boulevard, Baytowne Wharf and Silver Sands Designer Outlet Malls are all within a few minutes drive from this home. Each of these attractions offer retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, splash pads for the kids and more! There are multiple airports in the area. Pensacola is about an 90 minutes west and Panama City Beach airport is about 50 minutes to the east. Destin/Ft. Walton airport, a smaller airport, is also an option about 25 minutes away. All are served by multiple airlines. Destin is conveniently located close to Interstate 10, a main East-West national highway. This puts the area within easy reach of metro areas such as Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans, Birmingham, Shreveport, Houston, and many other cities. Margarita Villa is located right on Scenic Highway 98, the main beach artery in the area. —— NO COST ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE COVERAGE —— ► We cover your stay 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 buy this coverage from the listing site. Basic guidelines for the accidental damage coverage are: ・Guest must report damage, with photo(s), at the time it occurs. That is generally the only thing a guest needs to do. ・Damage reported after departure can not be covered. ・Linens and towels are excluded from this coverage. ・Coverage is only for “accidental” damage and does not cover loss or theft. ・This will not cover any additional services needed to address the damage, such as shipping/delivery fees, rush charges, extra cleaning, etc. ・If any mattresses have been “wet”, notify us immediately as we will be forced to replace the mattress upon your departure -- for health safety. This will result in delay, and possibly the loss of the damage deposit and additional charges. * Seems obvious, but do not sit on furniture when you are wet or have applied sunblock. This is not considered "accidental damage". 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. —— TRAVEL INSURANCE —— We *strongly* encourage you to consider acquiring travel insurance if you have any concerns about needing to cancel your stay, You will be presented with an opportunity to buy coverage at our checkout, from InsureStay. You can, of course, find many online sources of travel protection policies. —— OUR 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, frequent letters from guests expressing appreciation, and have many repeat guests. But, we do have firm rules that cannot be broken and, if they are, will result in immediate eviction with no refunds. These rules are: - We do not accept any animals under any circumstances. - Events or parties are prohibited by the HOA and by us. - No smoking of any kind. - You cannot exceed the number of people on your booking. - Drugs or other illegal activities are not welcome and will be reported. - We cannot accept third party bookings. - The City of Destin has a noise ordinance and loud music or disturbances are not welcome. Quiet time is 10pm-8am. We use multiple approved 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, we will contact you. These monitors have also protected our guests against false noise complaints. Video cameras may cover the front and entry side of the home for compliance verification and the protection of the property. There are no interior views. Remember that you are not staying in a hotel, you are staying in our home. Please respect it, the rules, and our neighbors. While there is no "front desk", our Housekeeping/Maintenance team is just a phone call away during standard business hours and we are available by email, text, or message from 9am to 7pm daily. We like to be sure our guests have read the whole description so there are no surprises and expectations are properly set. Please mention "Destin Rocks!" in your inquiry to confirm this for us.
