Good value
Location was our primary deciding factor, and it was great. The beach truly is right across a street, and the street had crosswalks and was easy to cross. It was a very brief walk from front door to beach chair, even shorter than some resorts that are “on the beach”. The space was plenty large and the two separate bathrooms worked really well for us. The decor is newer, although there were some fit and finish quirks if that kind of stuff bothers you. There weren’t any spices or oils stocked so plan on bringing those if you’re planning on cooking a bunch. You can see the ocean from the balcony even though it’s a partial view. The complex was basic but tidy and well-maintained. Several local restaurants were nearby and directly on the beach which was nice. Overall we had a very good stay. The bad marks we left on communication and check-in may have been an anomaly because we later learned the host was in the hospital and nobody else had accurate information. We were stranded for a day and a half but our frustration is just as great with VRBO as it was with the host. VRBO promised us alternate accommodations then literally ghosted us and abandoned us to fend for ourselves to try to find another property. Finally we found another place but before we checked in the host was able to reach us and get us in to our original place. We would stay here again.

Love Maravilla!
We have stayed in Maravilla for years. We always enjoy staying there. 3405 was no exception. This is the 1st time on the 4th floor. Totally enjoyed the view! The bed was very comfortable in the master. We didn't use the other bedromm so I dont know about the bunk beds but they looked very nice. The only inconvenience was the washer/ dryer combo. The dryer ate any strings that was put in but that was it. It really needs to be replaced but I'm sure that is on Dorothy's list because everything was very well taken care of. That's Dorothy we absolutely enjoyed ourselves.

Great Stay!
The condo was great for our family. Even though it was not oceanfront we enjoyed the view of the ocean from the large balcony. The kids enjoyed both pools and the short walk to the beach was nice. The dryer “ate” the drawstrings of all of the guys’ bathing suits so we had to deal with that and the dishwasher was tricky to get started. Other than that we were very satisfied with the rental as well as the family-friendly Maravilla community.

Clean, but outdated.
When I booked, the listing said on the beach. The unit was outdated but being on the beach, we were okay with that. But it's false. It's across the street. The listing has been changed now to close to beach. The pools were far away from our unit. We never found it! No electric can opener, just manual one, which was hard in my arthritis. The coffee pot needs updated as well. Did not like the vertical blinds. Every time we used them they would fall out and we had to stick them back in. Very annoying to work with. Those need fixed or replaced. Everything else was good. Just really disappointed in the listing in the beginning saying on the beach when it clearly isnt.

Great spot!
This condo is lovely and in an awesome spot with private beach access! It would get 5 stars but one of the beds had dirty sheets that had obviously not been changed since the last guests. Also, the kitchen floor was very sticky from the result of the pinesol cleaner not being diluted enough before being used to mop the floors by the cleaning crew. Overall, it is a great place and would definitely stay there again!

Best rental
We have rented a lot of different places during our trips this one was definitely the best. Dorothy is an amazing host. She kept in touch with us during the whole rental process. Condo was immaculately clean and all amenities were available to us. She even left us a welcome package. Loved having the beach right across the street. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Great Family Condo
Think of this place like your own Family's Condo. Could it use a little updating? Sure, but its also way more updated than the online pictures even. It's got everything you need and is super clean. There were coffee filters, pepper, syrup, trash bags etc. in the cupboard for everyone to use. The fridge was completely cleaned out. We used the boogie boards, sand castle toys, and family games. The balcony is large and has a partial ocean view. The bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable (definitely NO bedbugs). Neighbors were nice, quiet place. The daily chair set-up was my favorite! I ran out at 8am each morning and snagged a front row spot that was ours to come and go all day. We enjoyed our stay and will book this unit again. Our owner was extremely helpful and responsive. Thank you!

Not beachfront, not clean, bed bugs
Unfortunately, I did not have the 5 star experience that most had. I’m glad everyone else had a great time, but my group did not. The unit is not overlooking the beach. The unit is located in the 3000 building, which is the side building, not the building directly facing the beach, which is the 2000 building and shown in her pictures. You are actually getting a peak a book side view of the beach from the balcony. Your direct balcony view is actually houses. When booking the unit, I explicitly asked the owner if it was direct beachfront, as this was the most important aspect of the unit for me. She sent me to her website, which showed a picture of a zoomed in view of the water that was entitled ‘view from the balcony.’ In actuality, you cannot see the water from inside the unit, you will only see houses. This may not be a problem for you, but she totally misled us on this fact. For me personally, a direct view of the beach was the most important part of the unit and when I asked her this in June when I booked the unit, she should have been completely forthcoming on the view. I would have booked a different unit if she was truthful. The unit had an initial clean smell, but after entering the unit, we noticed it was very dusty, specifically the ceiling fans, screens and floor mats. The fridge had a musty smell and the shelves in the fridge are breaking. One broke and milk spilled all over the floor on our first day. The middle shelf in the fridge is very flimsy and is bowing. It will collapse soon so be careful not to put heavy items on it. The closets are packed with items, linens, etc that were not neatly organized and the kitchen cabinets had old food from previous guests. This was gross, especially during covid. In addition, we left two days early due to my mom and I getting bitten by bed bugs all over our arms and legs. I tried sleeping in two different beds, the master and the sofabed, but I woke up with more bites each day. Once we got home, the biting stopped but taking Benadryl and applying calamine did not. I felt like I didn’t have a vacation at all. A total disappointment. I did not want any technicians in the unit to fix the fridge due to covid, so I declined her offer on that. I sent the owner an email on all of the other issues and haven’t heard any responses or any offers to make it right, which is entirely unprofessional. Rent elsewhere. If you decide to book here, I hope your stay is better than ours.

Great Location!!
Our vacation was amazing. Maravilla resort condo unit 3405 was perfect for my family. From the double balcony we could see the ocean. After coffee on the balcony we would gather our ocean toys & boards (there were several toys & body boards at the condo that we used) and walk across the street to the beach (very close). We loved the complementary chairs & umbrella that were already set up on the beach, great amenity- Thank you. We rented 2 bikes from "Sweet Escapes Rental" for the week. They delivered & picked up the bikes at no extra charge. Great vacation overall. Thank you Dorothy Moody for a relaxing family vacation :)

This place was really welcoming.
It was my first stay here at this location and i must say it was worth it. Totally shocked with everything needed for a stay(even though i brought my own items) i mean stocked down to the blender i forgot to bring. One was already here. Yay. I got lost in codes because my party beat me here and i forget to tell them the info. But Mrs moody answered right away.(sorry about that part). We can see the beach from the right side of the balcony. Which was nice. The walk to the beach was maybe a minute or 2 at the most that’s coming down from the room,elevator,and through the parking lot. Over all it was a nice location. The condo was great, the environment was also something i take into consideration especially when i bring children ,so that’s an A++ because it was so peaceful just everyone enjoying themselves..

Just 4 stories high with 2 pools, (not a high-rise), tennis courts; club house; basketball court; large green area for children to play. LOVE, LOVE, DESTIN!!
