About Villa Blanco:
Villa Blanco is the largest home on Holiday Isle. With a private dock, an in-home theater, a private in-ground pool, and all the bells and whistles, "Villa Blanco" will exceed the expectations of every renter.

The first floor of "Villa Blanco" encompasses the majority of the home's entertainment spaces. A 14-seat movie theater with Bose surround sound and stadium seating in reclining leather chairs is the perfect space to relax. A full bathroom with a large walk-in shower services the theater. Proceeding through a screened-in breezeway, guests will find the home's game room to one side and the expansive private pool and dock to the other. The game room includes a billiards table, a chess table, a sectional sofa, a flat screen TV, and a wet bar. The pool deck is complete with an outdoor bar, lounge chairs, palm trees, a 16' X 35' pool, and a spa tub. Rounding off the first floor are three bunk rooms, a king bedroom, and a laundry room.

The second floor of the home houses the majority of the formal living space, an abundance of gulf view terraces, a queen suite, and the impressive Master's Quarters. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a Thermador Professional gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, an icemaker, two dishwashers, two warming drawers, and a trash compactor. Two pantries service the large kitchen. The traditional dining room features a hand painted mural on the walls and ceilings, a round table that seats eight, and windows that open to a view of the Gulf of Mexico. Additional seating is available for ten on the opposite side of the kitchen, in the dining area nearest the living room. The living room features a wet bar, a large flat screen TV, a grand piano, gulf views, and a fireplace. Off the open living room lay three balconies. Each balcony provides a different perspective – some overlook Holiday Isle and the lagoon while others show off beautiful views of the Gulf. The large balcony overlooking the front of the property provides outdoor seating and unimpeded views of the jewel toned Gulf. Two expansive balconies overlooking the rear of the property provide views of the lagoon and the large, private pool.

Also located on the second floor, the Master Quarters accommodate two with a King bed, a flat screen TV, and electronic curtains that part to reveal unimpeded views of the gulf. The master suite features a sitting area where guests can recline and enjoy the spectacular views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The lavish lifestyle carries through to the Master Quarters' two Master Baths. The his-and-her facilities provide a massive walk-in closet, a jetted tub, two stand-alone shower (one of which is a steam shower), flat screen TVs, a bidet, and a full laundry room. Off of the laundry room is a queen mother-in-law suite.

The third floor of the estate is home to three king suites, two queen suites, and additional balcony space. The third floor entertainment area includes seating for eight, a flat screen TV, a DVD player, a wet bar, and a private balcony.

The private dock and boating area allows for the docking of a boat spanning up to 52' on the deep lagoon!

The pool can be heated for an additional charge.

Beach celebration

We had 23 people staying at this house to celebrate my son’s wedding which took place on the beach at John Beasley park. This house was perfect for our gathering of friends and family and was nice having our own spaces with many bathrooms! We had the pool heated for our stay and it was very nice! Our weather was beautiful!

Beautiful Property

This was our second visit to this amazing home! It is perfect for large families to stay in one place together. There were a few issues (hole in ceiling dripping), (AC set to go on 82 at night), (one bedroom extremely hot) that took a lot of time with the management company to get handled but they made it right at the end of the trip.

Holiday Family Fun

The house was extraordinary… Plenty of room for everyone to have a grand time with many things to do. The kitchen was fun to cook in and well supplied we did have a bit of problems lighting the gas burners. The location was great… steps from the beach and a short drive to the boardwalk and many restaurants etc. We did have a major complaint with the pool heat which we paid an extra $600 for but it never warmed up enough for even our hardy northerners to be able to swim in it and the company wouldn’t budge on a reimbursement which was a big disappointment. Overall a wonderful place to spend our Family Christmas!

Really Nice House.

This property is luxury, but homely. Totally a 10 after learning how to use "all" the lights. Steps from beach and all the appliance you'll ever need.

Wonderful place for friends and family to gather!!

Friends and family gathering for a small intimate beach wedding. Everyone was able to hang out together as well as have their own space for privacy. Each floor came complete with gathering space and coffee makers. TVs galore throughout the house!! And the movie theater was our favorite! Highly recommend this property and Five Star Properties is a jewel to work with, always going above and beyond to make your stay more enjoyable!

Wow!

Four families stayed here for Spring Break. Amazing property. Huge! Luxury! Massive kitchen. Amazing pool and hot tub. Very close to beach across the street. Massive garage with lots of beach toys and supplies. Movie theater room was amazing. Nothing bad to say - this place is remarkable.

Mixed Review January 2016

Since the build in 2003 of this home it has weathered. While it is one of the largest homes on Holiday Isle in Destin. It has several issues that you will deal with. All doors and windows are wood cased and are swollen from the moist environment. Several will not lock and others are stuck shut. Wile staying at the home is impressive she the property shows its age with molded docks, cracked tiles, broken fence with caution tape, doors that are stuck shut, air conditioners that did not work that had service people there until 11PM at night and a fireplace that did not work. Outside of the above mentioned issues the house is amazing. The pool heat was a disaster the pool guy could not get it right for days. Finally we got heat for 3-4 days then the day before we left he showed up and shut it off. This canceled our last night ability to enjoy the pool and hot tub. Had several communication issues with the staff at 5 star however if not for one lady in particular and her help it would have been a total disaster. The person that met us at the property did not follow up on anything she communicated. And one final note there is one bedroom on the floor plans you can not use. The description of this property says 6 bedrooms and on the floor plans there are 7 bedrooms. - you only get to use 6 as in the description. One bedroom is off limits and locked.

Villa Blanco Extraordinary!

We absolutely loved the Villa. Amazing & Beautiful. If it is not sold, we will be back next year. The property was perfect for us, we had a great time and had a Chef come in one night and cook dinner. We had about 22 people and someone from the Home Owners Association came over and told us we could not park on the street (some were on the side-walks). He was very nice and pointed to a house that was not being occupied and told us we could park in their drive-way. The only "down-fall" about the whole experience was the parking. We moved some cars to a different location (I think it was a Walgreen's?)
