This home is a perfect family retreat for guests with small children who may need a quiet respite from the noon hours of the sun, and yet is an easy golf cart trip to dinner, shopping, or the movies.

With soaring 20-foot ceilings and custom murals, no detail for absolute comfort has been overlooked, from the power recliner to the crisp bedding. Even the laundry room has been made ready with an iron and ironing board, a folding counter, full-size washer and dryer, and even a laundry sorting hamper. A street-legal golf cart is included with your stay and can be used up and down Scenic 98 going to restaurants, the grocery store, or shopping. Of course, the golf cart may be used within Destiny East to access its multiple community swimming pools and hot tubs, on-site movie theater, elegant clubhouse, tennis courts, putting green, and playground. There is even a ping-pong table for the teens to challenge each other.

Downstairs, the dining table seats six, and five more can comfortably sit at the countertop bar in the adjoining kitchen which is well-outfitted with a full array of stemware, cookware, and kitchen gadgets for the vacationing gourmet.

On the first floor are two bedrooms. The master king suite has an ensuite full bathroom that opens to the back deck and also features a double-twin trundle bed. In the closet in each bedroom, there are extra blankets, pillows, and an oscillating fan to ensure guests are comfortable no matter who sets the thermostat. The second bedroom downstairs has two queen beds and a full bath.

Upstairs on the second floor is a powder room/half bath, a large master suite, and a game room with lounging area open to the living room below, featuring a ping pong table, TV with DVD player, speaker system, and a queen sleeper sofa with a new memory foam mattress. Extra TV channels include HBO, Disney, and Nickelodeon. The upstairs master suite is expansive, with an oversized walk-in closet housing two twin rollaway beds with new memory foam mattresses and extra pillows and blankets. In addition to the king bed, there is a sitting area with a comfy chair, a desk for guests needing to work, and the room features a private balcony overlooking the pool area below. The en suite master bath has a large jetted Jacuzzi tub with twin sinks and a separate water closet.

Villa Royale also offers an outdoor oasis hidden right outside the back. The deck is a perfect family gathering spot and features an outdoor shower, and a cozy sitting area to relax. There is also an outdoor dining table that seats six with an umbrella and even a toddler-sized picnic table, as well as a gas grill that is perfect for cooking the catch of the day while watching the kids swim. Down a few steps to the pool deck, guests can nap or sunbathe in lounge chairs next to the organically shaped pool and serene landscaping.

Pool heating can be added for $50 per day plus tax and is charged for the entire length of stay.

The pictures does this place no justice. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was a perfect destination. We were close to eating places, beaches, and shopping centers. Although we had plenty to do enjoying the property was our best time.

Family of 5 (w/ 10, 15 & 17 yos) on Spring Break late March 2025. House was as described (lots to do). Kitchen very well stocked. Pool was awesome (we paid for the heat - glad we did). Upstairs gaming included Ping pong, Pac-Man, chess and life size connect 4-games. All 5 of us played there each night. Swam in the pool everyday. Short golf cart ride or walk to the white sand beach and then the pool and pickleball / basketball courts at the clubhouse were great too. Played pickleball most days. Very nice gated community. Perfect for our group. Property manager, Frangista, communicated often. Called us to confirm our check in plans, the pool heat and go over the golf cart. They gave us a number to text or call if problems. They were responsive throughout. Very prompt, even at weird times. We'd stay again, for sure.

This property was perfect for our family. It is a short golf cart drive to the beach. It came with all the beach toys and supplies that we would ever need, and the toy panty in the house was amazing for out 3 and 6 year old. The pool was the perfect size and temperature. Everything in the house was very clean. At first the long list of rules is a little off-putting, but really all of the rules are very reasonable things.

Wished there would have been instructions for the tv because we were unable to watch them and with three small kids that’s hard. I also wished there were more trash cans.

Loved the house and pool. Nice to have golf cart to go down to the beach specially with a 3 year old. We always have our traditional trip to get ice cream which is a short golf cart ride. We all had a blast playing ping pong, connect 4 and Pac Man. Only negative thing was the dishwasher did not really clean dishes well and maybe that’s why some dishes were dirty in the cabinets. We made the best of that.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been in several rentals before, this was definitely the cleanest one we have walked into at the start of our stay. The home was a great size for our group, which included several teenagers. We never felt as if we were in anyone’s way as we moved around the house. Came with multiple beach chairs which is a bonus. The management company couldn’t have been more responsive to any questions we had and even checked in a few times to make sure everything was what we expected. If we have the chance we will rent from Frangista Beach Properties again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was very clean and amenities plentiful. The golf cart is battery operated and slow but very nice to have regardless. The dishwasher doesn't drain and the oven takes a very long time to heat up, we did not report this to maintenance. There are A LOT of rules and threats of automatic charges for infractions, although we did not incur any additional charges. Was one of the cleanist properties that we have ever rented. Perfect location and quiet neighborhood.

6/10

Frangista property managers were great. The home was outdated. It was disappointing that the owner had rules pasted all over the house, cupboards, garbage cans, walls, tables, etc. we have never seen this before. Usually there is a book with suggested things to do or see in the area. Not here. The golf cart died the first day, the owner did rent us a new one but we had to pick up and drop off so out of the week we only had a golf cart 3 days. We loved the area but would not stay in this house again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Royale! We loved the area and it was a beautiful house! The pool was just the perfect size for us. The house itself was roomy and spacious. We loved the setup! The appliances were topnotch. The golf cart was a blessing! We have stayed in Destiny East before so we were familiar with the HOA. So this is probably out of your control. My only complaint would be that we had one tire on the pine straw and were ticketed for being on the vegetation. I have been in landscaping and I happen to know that the pine straw is already dead and it won’t hurt to park on it. Otherwise, we had a great time and enjoyed it very much!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our Stay at Villa Royale was wonderful! The property was clean, neat and well stocked with everything we could need, including activities, toys, and plenty of room for 7 adults and two children. The kitchen had everything we needed, including two coffee pots, one original and one Keuring. We cooked a large seafood dinner, and had all the necessary utensils. We also loved the convenience of the Golf Cart. We unfortunately had a sick baby one night, and the property was closely located to an ER. We really enjoyed the responsiveness and the professionalism of the management company. We loved that we had beach towels available. The Pool was gorgeous and well kept. It was also nice to see maintenance being done on the pool and golf cart to ensure everything stayed in proper condition. It was a 10/10 experience.

We loved the house and the neighborhood. It was nice having a golf cart to get around in. The only thing we had a problem with is the parking. I was stressed the entire time that our vehicle tires would be touching the grass or touching the pine-straw. There is only room for two cars. We did park our two extra cars at the recommended RV park. They were very friendly there, but our two extra vehicles were parked in an open field for a week. The house sleeps 14, but there is no way 14 people could fit in two small vehicles. The parking at the house was extremely aggravating. We were so worried most of the time about getting a ticket that we backed out both vehicles to get the golf cart out and then put the cars back. We were worried if we parked the cars far enough over to simple pull the golf cart in and out of the garage our tires would touch the pine straw. The parking is the only complaint I had. The house was really clean and we loved the pool. If you are only going to need two cars absolutely perfect house, if you need more space for cars I wouldn’t recommend this house. I’m a very anxious person and a rule follower and staying here stressed me out. I worried the entire time we were going to break a rule and have to pay a fine. Again, the house is lovely and very clean. A lot of room. Comfortable beds. Teenagers loved it.
