About this property

🏝Stunning Retreat-Private Beach-Umbrella Service for 4🏖-🐶 Welcome

2024/25 Fall/Winter at Maravilla. Please be advised that we are undergoing construction at Maravilla. The balcony will be closed from September 18 - November 11. Rates have been adjusted accordingly during this period of time.

There is a reason they call this 'Scenic Gulf Drive' - Come discover some of the most beautiful white beaches and majestic views in Miramar Beach and, for that matter, the entire Gulf. A true vacationers paradise! Scenic Solitude located in Maravilla Resort, one of the most highly sought after family and dog-friendly resorts in Maravilla Beach area. Maravilla is located between Scenic Gulf Highway and US 98W on the eastern perimeter of Destin in Miramar Beach.

A perfect mix of days at the beach, family activities, nearby golf, and a short walk to great restaurants, combine to make Maravilla one of Destin's most desirable vacation addresses. You will enjoy morning walks, afternoon swimming, and evening walks and fishing on the sparkling white beaches.

Our second home is located in Building 3, just steps from Maravilla's private beach, or the heated pool with jacuzzi. Our smoke-free and well-appointed condominium is open and spacious with a 27' balcony off of the living room and master bedroom and features one of the more spacious two-bedroom layouts in the development.

The main living area offers seating in a pastel blue matching sofa (a queen-sized sleeper sofa) and loveseat. For a bit of an accent, we have a new coral covered side chair. White wood furnishings accompany the seating and serve to complement the clean and refreshing look of the condo. The main living area has a flat screen 65" Samsung 4K Smart TV with cable connection. A new Ceiling fan/LED light that is operated with remote control.

The Master Bedroom has been appointed with an Englander king size mattress, with new bedding, Cindy Crawford furniture, 2 nightstands with lamps, and a wall-mounted 55" Samsung 4K Smart TV. A new Hunter ceiling fan/LED light that is operated with remote control. These amenities combine to create a sophisticated and comfortable reprieve for our guests.

The Guest Bedroom is appointed with a Sealy queen size mattress, with new bedding, two nightstands with lamps, a 42" Samsung Smart TV, and a new Hunter ceiling fan/LED light with remote control option. The main bathroom is easily accessible from the hallway outside of the Guest Bedroom.

The newly renovated kitchen includes white quartz with subtle gray vein counter-tops, brand new Maytag French Door refrigerator, Maytag Range, Maytag Dishwasher and state of the art low profile Microwave that allows for extra counter space for preparing food. A newly installed LED recessed lighting and cutting-edge light fixture over the range. Also included in the renovation is all new coffee pot, Keurig with pods, blender, toaster, instant pot, utensils, plates, glasses, and pots and pans. The dining area features a table and two Cunningham Woven Wicker chairs and four additional chairs.

Also, for your convenience, is a stackable washer/dryer, new hair dryers in both bathrooms, and a new iron and ironing board.

Relax in either of Maravilla's two pools or spend time under your two umbrellas at the beach, which we provide, along with four chairs reserved and set up each day in season (March 8-October 31) by Holiday Isle Beach Service. There is a new addition to Miramar Beach, Dolphin Reef. The reef offers visitors a fascinating glimpse at South Walton's Ocean life. The reef is composed of more than 75 artificial structures that, when viewed from above, form the shape of Miramar Beach's resident Bottlenose dolphins. Dolphin Reef is easily accessible kayak or paddleboard and given its shallow depth, it can be explored by snorkelers and swimmers. For the more athletically minded, play on one of Destin's many championship golf courses, work out in Maravilla's private fitness center, or play tennis on either of two newly resurfaced (2017) courts. You can even shoot some hoops or play some shuffleboard on-property.

Of course, there are always amusement parks, miniature golf courses, and shopping at Destin Commons or Silver Sands Factory Stores to compete for your leisure time.

You are walking distance to some of the best dining options, Pompano Joe's and Captain Dave's, both on the Gulf for an evening of pleasure and relaxation.

There's plenty of room for your family of six, and your beach accessories. Enjoy the view from our large, 27 ft. long, third floor balcony, with 2 ceiling fans, that looks out through the palms to the Gulf, and some magnificent sunsets. The balcony is accessible from both the main living area, and the master suite. Step onto the balcony, take a seat on the patio furniture, sip your favorite beverage, and have a relaxing evening with your family or friends while the breeze rustles through the palms.

Perfect Family getaway
We absolutely loved this place. Perfect location, with a short walk to the beach. We loved that there were some beach supplies and towels available if we needed them. She has everything you would need in the kitchen, including an air fryer, pressure cooker, and even seasonings, and oil. The beds and a pull out couch were very comfortable! No complaints from my family. The email with the food suggestions were perfect for us! We took advantage of the carry out option for pizza one night ❤️. Thanks again for everything! We will definitely be back.

Perfect beach condo
This is our 3rd time staying at this condo and it’s perfect every time! Mrs. Donna is a wonderful host and her condo has lots of extra touches. If you forgot something…more than likely mrs Donna has it in the condo. We love that the walk to the beach is like 2 min if that. Her place is decorated so cute and beachy. We also love that we can bring our golden retriever with us and that the condo is also within walking distance to pompano joes ( excellent food and drinks) Thanks again for a great stay! We will prob be back next year!

Pick this condo for your next stay!!
Our stay at Donna’s place was the best experience from the beginning to the end! The location was great and only a very short walk to the beach. The condo was a beautiful beach feel with a great patio that extends to the master bedroom that was perfect to have breakfast on and take in the view. Absolutely everything was immaculate upon arrival! A parking pass and one guest pass was included which was great since we came in separate cars..we never struggled to find parking! The whole place was beyond well equipped from the kitchen (even had a air fryer!) to bathrooms having toiletries ..she really thought of everything her guests might need during their stay, right down to providing coolers and large pulp soft beach towels to take to the beach! And the absolute best perk was having the 4chairs and two umbrellas setup service everyday! We didn’t have to carry anything except our cooler and pool bag to the beach! Definitely highly recommend this host and her condo for your next beach trip! We will be going back!

Fantastic, inside and out!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We’ve been visiting Destin for years and this has been our favorite place to stay thus far! The condo complex is very nicely maintained, is quiet, and is in a great location; just a few steps from the private beach! The unit itself is beautifully decorated, stocked with everything you may need, and was very clean. Most importantly to us was that our dog was welcome! She loved the balcony! There are even a few restaurants within walking distance. And, a fantastic, family-owned, veteran-owned, parasailing company right down the beach as well. Destin has beautiful beaches, emerald waters, fantastic places to eat (we love the Back Porch) and many great golf courses to choose from (our favorite is Kelly Plantation). The owner even took time to message me throughout our stay to ensure that all was going well! We highly recommend staying here; we will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Donna Beam

Host profile image
Our family had the pleasure of staying at Maravilla in 2008, our daughter and son-in-law were married in 2016 on Miramar Beach and we finally decided as a family to become owners of our second home at Maravilla. We love the majestic gulf, the sunsets, and the serenity of Miramar Beach and we know that you will love it too.

Why they chose this property

Maravilla Resort Condominiums, 2606 Scenic Gulf Drive, Miramar Beach, Florida, is the most popular family-oriented and dog friendly complex in the Destin area. We have 2.5 acres of private beach, the largest private beach in Miramar. In total it covers 33 acres, is a gated resort, with 24 hour on-site security. It is only a 1-3 minute walk to the beach and from the 27' balcony, off of the living room and master bedroom, you have a view of the Gulf of Mexico with stunning sunsets.
