About this property

Perfect location! Ground floor, 40 Steps to Pool or Beach! Pets Welcome!

Maravilla Building TWO, Ground floor UNIT 2103. Located just 30-40 steps to the pool OR beach......always less than a minute from your condo to any chair....beach or pool.

The Maravilla complex is undergoing exterior renovations through May 2025, with potential daytime noise (8a-5p). Walkway work for Building 2 is scheduled for November 5-December 9 and Unit 2103's patio will be closed from February 5-March 5, Schedules are subject to change, potentially affecting dates of daytime noise and/or patio use.

Unit 2103:
This is a ground floor unit that is truly a gulf-front view. It doesn't get any more convenient than this if you have kids! You don't have to carry your beach bag, coolers, boogie boards, or towels far at all. The decor is upscale rustic coastal with an emphasis on "comfort"! It truly offers the "WOW" factor! You can park at your front door and escape out the back door to the pool or beach.

Bedrooms:
This unit sleeps 6 with a king bed and TV in the master bedroom, a queen bed in the guest bedroom with a TV and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

This unit is very popular for families with small kids. You can lay out by your door or the pool while the little ones sleep. We keep a port-a-crib in the condo if needed.

New stainless kitchen appliances and remodeled tiled showers.

Our condo offers Wireless Internet Access and free umbrella /beach chair set up! Your chairs are waiting for you in the sand so don't have to bother packing them.

The Maravilla property offers two pools (one heated), a hot tub, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a new workout room and shuffle board. It is located within a 5 minute drive of several golf courses, the Outlet Mall and Destin's shops and restaurants of Baytown Wharf! Many, many guests continue to choose Maravilla year after year. Come and see why!

Unfortunately, golf cart rentals and trailers are not allowed on Maravilla property.

There is NOT a better family resort on Scenic Gulf Drive.

Perfect Location

What a vacation! We loved our stay here! PERFECT location for both beach and pool fun. I spent a lot of time researching a place before booking, this one checked all of the boxes! With small children and a dog, you won’t find a better location. The complex was quiet and family friendly. The pool was never over crowded. We enjoyed morning coffee on the beach then came back down mid morning to spend the remainder of the day. The close proximity made going back and forth a breeze. The beach chairs/umbrella service was SO appreciated. Pompano Joe’s, a super cute rolled ice cream shop, gift shops, and scooter/bike rental shops were all within walking distance. We enjoyed the walking/bike path off the road. We were able to cook most of our meals in. The kitchen was fully stocked! Even the little things like Tupperware were provided (we were so thankful this allowed us to bring lunch down to the beach)! The complex also has a vending ice machine outside which we utilized for stocking our beach cooler. All beds and pillows were COMFORTABLE including the pull out sofa! The shower pressure was perfect and we never ran out of hot water. We were so thankful for the washer and dryer! Extras like boogie boards and sand toys for the kids were truly the icing on the cake! Thank you for such an amazing stay. We will be back!

Wonderful place!

We enjoyed our stay here, the beds were comfortable. Very convenient to the beach access, and loved the beach chairs and umbrella that came set up with the condo. But there were a few things that could be improved, the kitchen sink faucet was wobbly, the bathroom toilet seat was also loose. Other than that it was a wonderful stay and we would choose this condo again.

Perfect Condo Placement

We really enjoyed our stay at Maravilla. The property was just as described and met all of our needs. We enjoyed the amenities that Maravilla had to offer such as the workout room and the pickleball courts. We also liked how convenient the unit was to the front pool and the beach access. We would stay here again.

Disappointed

The condo is very dated. The bed was the only thing comfortable. We were not contacted regarding all the codes and the beach gate changing. Poor communication. The property was nice and would come back to Maravilla but it would have to be a cleaner, updated condo. I am sorry for my negative comments but future bookings need to know about this unit

About the host

Hosted by Marti Swift

Host profile image
My family and I visited Destin in 2001 and fell in love with the white sandy beaches. Maravilla has been a tradition of our family for years. The rental busines has been a true blessing to each of us. It has allowed me to be a 'work at home' mom while raising our two kids and has given me the opportunity to meet many wonderful families from all over the United States.

We purchased our properties with two non-negotiable factors in mind: 1) Views! We would not compromise on being able to see the emerald waters of the gulf while relaxing on our balcony. We are from Kentucky and our vacations are all about seeing and enjoying the water. 2)Proximity to the beach and pool. As a family with young kids we wanted to be quick to and from our condo to the sand. Our goal was always less than a minute for either and we purchased our condo's accordingly.

As a result, our family enjoys truly relaxing vacations taking in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of where we are, the heart of Destin or Scenic Gulf Drive, our views don't change..the famous emerald water is only a glance away! Our family condo business is dear to us. We recognize how blessed we are and we cherish the memories!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing a vacation home within driving distance to our home was important to us. It allows us to vacation often in our home away from home. The Gulf Coast's emerald waters were like no other place we had ever seen. The natural beauty of the beaches were the 'icing on the cake' for our purchase of our vacation home.

What makes this property unique

Our kids have grown up at Maravilla. Our daughter learned to swim in the pool there. We have since purchased other properties as investiments. Maravilla remains our favorite. Our children will not go anywhere else. The property offers great 'kids friendly' playing spaces. Maravilla's neighborhood community is perfect for riding bikes, skating, playing tag, getting a wiffle ball game up and just doing things kids love to do. Many complexes today only offer a parking lot and a beach to play on. We LOVE Maravilla!
