Bella Mar in Destin's Frangista Beach

Description

Ready to elevate your beach vacation? Bella Mar is a stunning Tuscan-style escape in the coveted gated community of the Villas of Frangista—where Old World elegance meets modern coastal charm. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom Miramar Beach vacation home comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests and places you just a short stroll from the iconic Gulf shoreline.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the warm welcome of this upscale retreat. A paver-tiled driveway framed by swaying palms leads to the gracious two-story home, complete with a breezy front veranda and decorative balcony. Step inside to discover a beautifully updated interior that blends relaxed sophistication with beachy vibes.

The open-concept living area features hardwood flooring, nautical-inspired accents, and abundant natural light streaming through multiple windows. Two crisp white sofas and a pair of caramel-toned swivel chairs create a cozy conversation space, centered around a woven jute rug and a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV. The room’s calming color palette and coastal artwork make it the perfect place to kick back after a day in the sun.

The kitchen reflects today’s vacationer’s dreams—featuring white shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an eye-catching aqua glass tile backsplash. A large granite-topped island provides ample prep space and doubles as a breakfast bar, with four leather-upholstered swivel stools for casual dining or cocktail hour. Nearby, a round dining table with seating for six sits beneath a vintage-style chandelier in a sunny window nook, creating the perfect atmosphere for memorable meals and laid-back brunches.

Just outside, a private stone patio awaits with lush landscaping, upscale furnishings, a grill, and a fire pit—all thoughtfully arranged for al fresco dining and evening gatherings under the stars.

Also on the first floor is a charming guest room featuring a full-over-full bunk bed with a full trundle, ideal for kids or teens. This room is conveniently located next to a full hall bath that also serves as a powder room for guests.

Upstairs, three serene bedrooms each boast private en suite bathrooms for maximum comfort and privacy. The elegant primary suite showcases a king-size bed, a romantic private balcony, and a luxurious bath with a marble-tiled walk-in shower, dual granite vanities, and a soaking tub for indulgent relaxation. One guest room features a queen bed beneath a sailboat painting, along with a private bath with a walk-in shower. The third upstairs guest room also includes a queen bed and its own bath with a tub/shower combination.

Guests of Bella Mar enjoy exclusive access to the Villas of Frangista’s private community pool, complete with a regal club-style cabana featuring bathroom facilities and showers. And while the community feels like a world of its own, you’re just minutes from the best of Miramar Beach.

You’ll be close to Gulf-front dining, boutique shopping, and family-friendly entertainment, plus championship golf and tennis at Seascape Resort—where Ocean Reef Resorts guests receive special discounts. Grand Boulevard and Baytowne Wharf are just a short drive away, offering upscale shopping, seasonal festivals, live music, and endless fun for all ages.

With its contemporary design, private outdoor oasis, and prime Frangista Beach location, Bella Mar is a standout among Destin vacation homes. Book your stay today and experience the luxury, comfort, and coastal charm that makes this home truly unforgettable.

Such a great location

It was a great, safe neighborhood and walkable to the beach as beach parking is tricky. Walkable to coffee shop and local pizza shop. Also the patio and kitchen were spacious.

We Loved Our Stay at Bella Mar

We loved our stay at Bella Mar in February 2022. The home is beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, and it is only a short walk to the beach! It's also close to everything we needed; restaurants, shopping and groceries. The property manager, Ocean Reef Resorts, was excellent at providing all the info we needed for our stay, as well as any extras like hangers and towels. We felt so at home at Bella Mar and would definitely stay there again.
