We loved our stay at Margarita Villa! The location was perfect for us right next to the beach and easy access to the rest of Destin. A cozy feeling inside and you could see the attention to detail that Chuck & Vicki put into making the stay as comfortable & accommodating as possible! Thanks for a lovely visit!

Fantastic location just across the street from beach access. Easy parking in a quaint community of villas. Beautifully decorated and equipped unit with modern conveniences. Sparkling clean! Meal preparation was a breeze. Air conditioning was efficient and appreciated. Personal and thoughtful touches in every room. Plentiful quality linens and bedding. Amazing views of the lake and local birds. Hosts respond quickly to messages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return!

This was our second stay at Margarita Villa A and it did not disappoint! It is well appointed and is just as advertised. Chuck is great with communication should you need any assistance. Highly recommend!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
It was great location with nice lake view. We had pleasant stay with our kids. It does have walk about 2-3 mins to the beach which is not bad at all because they do provide beach wagon, chairs and beach toys. Property was clean and all check in-check out went smoothly because they provided everything in details. It was going great until on last day the owner showed up on our rented place told us that he got complained from the neighbors downstairs and next to us that too much noise coming out from the house. I understand and I am not denying the fact that yes there’s noise but having kids in the house what do you expect when they’re on vacation?? It’s a vacation time especially for kids. They’re gonna shout play and run. We were not doing partying, drinking. We were there for and with kids. (For their labor day weekend off on school. We all are working parents took day off from work for kids) If that disturbs other ppl’s privacy then I would recommend the owner of this property not to allow kids on your property. Don’t tag it as kid friendly. I also want to mention that each kid is different, and each kid have different way of showing their happiness and mine show it with shout, run and laugh. And I am not stopping them from doing what they love. That’s the only reason I was looking for house on rent and not the hotel where I have to discipline my kids. But thank you for great hosting otherwise!
