Description

How would you like to vacation at a classic Mediterranean styled villa on the French Riviera in St. Tropez? Well, now you can! Like the original St. Tropez vacationers, "delight in the sandy beaches, culture, gourmet food, and hot nightlife," but here they are located right off Scenic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach. The residential community of St. Tropez was created featuring a distinctive design that was inspired by the timeless classic architecture of the original. It comes complete with a serene setting of Royal Palms, lush tropical plants, geyser fountains, and a large bubbling hot tub surrounding a lovely lagoon-shaped swimming pool. A cabana nearby includes convenient restroom facilities, showers, and dressing rooms. You may never want to leave this heavenly magical place, but the exclusively gated access to the beautiful beach is just a minute away. In fact, you can see the glittering gulf from two upper-level columned verandas.

Galileo is a stately classic 3,200 square foot three-story villa has four bedrooms and can accommodate up to 13 fortunate guests! This regal rental residence features breathtaking stunning detail throughout and will make you feel like royalty.

The first floor includes an individual Guest Bedroom with a king-sized bed, an en suite bath, and access to a lovely patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped lawn. A graceful windowed turret staircase with a suspended chandelier elegantly sweeps up to the living area and upper-level guest quarters. Arched portals provide entry into the expansive open Great Room on the second floor, which encompasses the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Rich parchment toned Travertine Marble flooring inlaid with dark chocolate borders flows throughout and is accentuated by soaring ceilings. Two full walls of windows with glass doors look out upon the adjoining veranda that features classically spiraled columns and has seating to enjoy the breezes while sipping upon favorite drinks. Two dark leather couches face these views along with a TV for entertainment. An oval hardwood table with six stylish chairs sits nearby beneath a vintage chandelier and another set of windows. Four elegant chairs provide additional seating beside a round granite-topped island centered in the open Gourmet Kitchen. It features high-end appliances with a European inspired tile arched hood surrounding the range, and custom cabinetry can delight any chef.

The spacious, lavish Master Bedroom has a tall, angled double tray ceiling, rich hardwood flooring and decorative paintings. A king-sized bed faces two sets of sliding glass doors leading out to a romantic veranda providing gulf views. The highly luxurious en suite bath features double vanities with individual gold-framed mirrors, and an exquisite hand scrolled granite-topped cabinet. A marble encased walk-in shower sits beside a soaking tub. The other two Guest Bedrooms are beautifully appointed with a king-sized bed in one and bunk beds in the other.

This excellent Miramar Beach location is near popular gulf front restaurants, grocery stores, and bargain shopping at the famous Silver Sands Premium Outlets. It's also minutes away from abundant amusements at Baytowne Wharf and Grand Boulevard in Sandestin.

Great place to stay
We had a wonderful stay. The beach is literally across the street, beautiful white sand. The house was very accommodating for our group. Was stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, etc. The toiletries, hand soap, dish soap things of that nature were somewhat lacking. We ended up picking up things at the store and left them behind for the next renters. Pool and hot tub were decent. The gated neighborhood was pretty small and quiet. It also seemed like a pretty safe place to be. We didn’t mind the kids going down to Alvin’s beach shop after dark. Everything you would need is within a mile of the house. Management was prompt and responsive as we decided to come a day early. I would recommend this place for larger families. We would stay there again if we ever come back to Destin.

Beautiful house
The house is lovely and the large fenced in back yard was a plus. We rented this house during the coldest temperatures in the past 30 years. When you rent in the winter the weather is a dice shoot. We stayed inside longer than usual so it was nice to have so much room to gather watch television and play games. The house is across from the beach with beautiful views. We would definitely rent again.
