About this house rental

Emerald Villa offers a rare balance of calm waterfront living and walkable beach access along Scenic Highway 98. Set beside a peaceful lake in the Destiny community, this bright, two-story villa delivers open views, coastal ease, and a layout designed for effortless group stays.

Mornings begin on the private balcony, where lake views and comfortable seating set the tone for slow coffee moments and sunset wind-downs. Inside, airy living spaces are filled with natural light, coastal finishes, and room to gather—or spread out—across two full floors.

The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and all the essentials for shared meals, beach-day snacks, or relaxed dinners around the dining table for six. With a living area on each level, the home offers flexibility for families, friends, or multi-generational groups—perfect for movie nights, quiet reading time, or post-beach lounging.

Just steps away, enjoy access to the community pool for an easy afternoon swim. When you’re ready for the sand, the beach is within walking distance, along with nearby beachfront dining and local favorites. The location places you close to Destin Commons, Henderson Beach State Park, water sports, fishing charters, and some of the Emerald Coast’s most iconic shoreline views.

Thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to 13 guests, Emerald Villa offers comfort, privacy, and flexibility across two full levels. The first floor features a king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a queen bedroom, a shared full bathroom, and a welcoming living area with a queen sleeper sofa. Upstairs, you’ll find a second king bedroom with its own ensuite, a twin-over-queen bunk room ideal for kids or teens, another shared full bathroom, and an additional living space with a queen sleeper sofa—creating plenty of room for everyone to unwind. In total, the home includes four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 13 guests.

Whether you’re planning a laid-back beach getaway or a coastal stay with room to gather and unwind, Emerald Villa pairs waterfront tranquility with Destin’s most desirable attractions—so you can spend less time commuting and more time enjoying the coast.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Located in Northwest Florida, Destin is dubbed the “world's luckiest fishing village.” This Emerald Coast city is known for its sparkling white beaches, numerous golf courses, and world-famous fishing. Nearby zipline courses, dolphin cruises, and amusement parks make it a perfect destination for families. Adults and large groups also come here for beach parties during the day and live music at night.
