This was an amazing place to stay at, chuck was very understanding and professionalism i would definitely come here again. Place was beautiful and clean
Enjoyed our stay. Great location & plenty of space for a family of five. Across the street from the beach but an easy walk over to the public access. Owner communication was excellent from start to finish.
Property was clean and accommodating. We had everything we needed and it is located so close to the beach. The kids loved the pool and the turtles in the lake out back.
Beautiful property, immaculately clean and excellent location. Sunsets on the porch are spectacular and we loved that there were beach chairs, towels, and a wagon for convenience. Would definitely stay again!
The location is wonderful, just steps from the beach and a great lake view as well. My family enjoyed a dinner at the Crab Trap which is an easy walk and right on the beach. We had a few issues while staying but Chuck was quick to respond to messages and get things fixed.

Great place!
We loved staying here. The lake was gorgeous in the mornings and sunset and the beach was so close. Community pool was also nice and heated, so we used it alot.
Definitely recommend the home and the hosts! Vicki and Chuck were fabulous!
Clean, well stocked home. The bunkbeds worked great for our kids, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed feeding the turtles and the short walk to the beach.
Great location and great property. Owners are very communicative and responsive. Exactly as advertised. Has all things you need and more. Will stay again.
The villa was so nice! Very clean, had everything you could need. I love that the management gives little extras(i.e. great coffee, extra dishwasher pods and actual pump hand soap in the bathrooms!) easy walk to the beach! We loved our stay!
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!
Tucked away, yet easy walk to beach. Felt very private and peaceful. Large primary bedroom with very comfortable bed. Big lake front deck in back where we enjoyed breakfast. Kitchen very well stocked- pancake griddle, blender and ample kitchen supplies were definitely a bonus. Nicely decorated. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location, close to underground walkway to beach and the condo pool. Property was very clean and has a nice covered patio space that looks over the lake. Perfect spot for kids to feed turtles :) Hosts were very friendly and attentive for the trip.
We booked this place with the intention of being in a comfortable place with convenient access to the beach and we are so happy we booked it! The walk to the beach was amazing and easy since we avoided crossing a busy street with kids! The communication with Chuck was great! He was so responsive and definitely knows how to treat guests! This is such a great host and location to visit with family!
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! Would definitely stay again!
Overall excellent experience. We received communication from the owners numerous times during our stay checking on us.
When we arrived we had a handwritten note welcoming us along with some snacks.
The guidebook they provide has ALL the information you will need.
Would definitely rent from them again!!
Thanks Chuck & Vicki!!!!
We could not have asked for a better location for our family trip! An easy walk to the beach and a pool. And a short, easy drive to the boardwalk and activities made for a fun and relaxing week we will never forget!
Chuck was a wonderful host. He answered my questions within minutes especially when I realized I had books one of my dates wrong. Their housing guide was amazing - and provided everything we needed to u deters d

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!
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
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!
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.
Host was very helpful and provided great info. One of the highlights for my friend was feeding the turtles (and they leave turtle food in the condo).Great location, easy to get to the beach and Crab Trap Restaurant.
