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!

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.

Lovely Vacation

We had a fabulous stay at Margherita Villa B. The space was clean, cozy and comfortable for my husband and I and 3 yr old daughter. The location was very conveniently located with tunnel access to the beach (didn’t have to cross the road with beach gear and toddler). The large deck overlooking the lake in the back was awesome with great views - our daughter really enjoyed counting turtles :) owners were really great to work with too. We look forward to our next visit!

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!
