"Seaside Bliss: Waterfront Villa Just Steps from the Beach"
Experience the epitome of coastal living at the "Emerald 'Jule'", a newly renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo exuding charm and elegance. Nestled within the highly sought-after "Destiny Beach Villas" community, this waterfront gem boasts prime real estate, with the tranquil Four Prongs Lake at its rear and pristine sugar-white beaches just steps across the street.
A Coastal Retreat for Couples or Families:
With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a convenient laundry room, the "Emerald 'Jule'" is tailor-made for couples seeking a romantic getaway or families of up to six. Every detail has been carefully curated to provide an unforgettable stay.
Enjoy the views:
The villa is tastefully decorated and immaculately maintained, featuring stunning lakeside and partial Gulf-side views from balconies that stretch across the front and back of this second-floor unit.
As you relax in the living room, you can enjoy views of the tranquil lake, or step onto the bedroom balconies for beautiful partial Gulf views. Here, you can relax and just enjoy the water views or people-watch the activity of this bustling neighborhood. Just steps away, a seasonally heated pool and the pristine beach beckon, promising hours of sun-soaked enjoyment.
Comfortable Accommodations:
With a king bed in the master suite, a queen bed in the guest room, and a queen pull-out sofa in the living room, the "Emerald 'Jule'" comfortably accommodates up to six guests. You'll find it's the perfect home base for your coastal adventures.

Located in the heart of Destiny, the "Emerald 'Jule'" is steps away from Tom Lee Park beach access and the renowned Crab Trap restaurant. A pedestrian tunnel right in front of the property ensures quick and hassle-free beach access.

Perfect long weekend
We had a wonderful stay. The property is a walk to the beach which was perfect for us. The beach chairs provided were a great bonus. You have beautiful views of the lake out the living room/kitchen windows. Attached picture was walking from the parking area to the entrance. Ken is a fantastic host who communicated promptly and was very helpful.

19A is a GEM
Our family had the best vacation in Destiny Beach Villa 19A! The property was beautiful and so clean! We loved the decor and the kitchen had everything we needed. The four new beach chairs were a great surprise! Ken was so nice and checked on us to make sure everything was up to par. We will definitely book this villa again!

Beautiful property!
Ken was so kind to let my group of friends stay at his property. He answered any questions I had super quickly. The unit was beautiful and very clean upon arrival. The location was perfect and in close proximity to the beach and so many awesome restaurants. We had the best trip. I would most definitely go back! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, this is the place!
