WHILE THEIR LATITUDE MARGARITAVILLE JOURNEY STARTED IN DAYTONA BEACH WITH A VILLA HOME , THE DESPORTS NOW HAVE THREE LATITUDE MARGARITAVILLE HOMES . THEY INCLUDE THEIR VILLA AT LATITUDE MARGARITAVILLE DAYTONA BEACH , AND CURRENTLY , TWO HOMES AT LATITUDE MARGARITAVILLE WATERSOUND — A ST . BART SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND , MOST RECENTLY , ONE OF THE NEW VISTA COLLECTION HOMES , A GRAND SPINNAKER ON THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY .
While their Latitude Margaritaville journey started in Daytona Beach with a villa home , the Desports now have three Latitude Margaritaville homes ; their villa at Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach , and , currently , two homes at Latitude Margaritaville Watersound — a St . Bart single-family home and , most recently , one of the new Vista Collection homes , a Grand Spinnaker on the Intracoastal Waterway .
Nick and Doreen are both retired from the U . S . Air Force . While serving , they spent some time in the Panhandle near Destin , Florida and really liked the area . When they heard about plans for the new Latitude Margaritaville Watersound near Destin , they decided that was for them . They moved into their St . Bart ’ s single-family home there in June 2024 . Meanwhile , they kept their villa at Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach so they can go back to visit friends and also lease it to new Latitude Margaritaville homeowners waiting for their homes to be completed .
“ We love our St . Barts at Latitude Margaritaville Watersound , the neighborhood , the neighbors ,” says Nick . However , when the couple saw the area overlooking the Intracoastal waterway where Minto ’ s new Vista Collection homes are being built , they fell in love with the amazing setting and views .
“ Nick kept asking about the lots along the Intracoastal ,” says Doreen . “ He always said , ‘ Whatever those are going to be , I want to be on that list .’ ’’ They got on the list , and chose a Vista Collection Grand Spinnaker floor plan .
They point out that they like the Grand Spinnaker ’ s large , covered lanai on the first level , the second level covered balcony and having great rooms on both the first and second floors . They also like having a garage that accommodates two cars and also a golf cart .
“ Having a great room on the second level provides another level to entertain or relax and watch TV . The view will be fantastic ,” notes Nick . “ One of main features is going to be the Marina . It will be great to be able to go less than one-half mile on the golf cart . That ’ s a feature that blew us away . We enjoy boating and having the ease to go to the boat so close .”
