Lovely, spacious

We were only in Destin for a few days, but I wish we’d stayed longer—this unit was clean, well-furnished, and roomy enough for five. Well-stocked with amenities, close to the beach and walking paths, and easy access to restaurants, grocery store, etc. Plenty of dishes, cookware so we could prepare home cooked meals. Our only disappointment was the construction—we knew it would be happening, we did not realize our patio would be the workers’ base camp (and therefore unusable). Would absolutely recommend.

Great stay!

We had a great stay despite bad weather (thank you Hurricane Francine). We were able to make the quick walk to the beach to take advantage of the chairs and umbrellas most days. And the condo is very comfortable if you need to spend some time indoors as we had to on other days. It is also located very close to lots of family entertainments and shopping when you want to do something else. Highly recommend!

Destin, Fl. stay (06/19/24 - 06/25/24)

We really enjoyed ourselves. We are a family of 5 with three kids 18 yo, 16 yo, 14 yo. Our host, Chris, was very nice and responsive to all our questions. The room was just as represented and met all our needs. The two pools on-site are nice, and the fitness room has standard equipment. They also have an ice machine on-site for your cooler that takes cards to pay. There were beach items provided (chairs, boogie boards, sand toys/shovels, balls, etc). We even left a beach blanket for use by future guests. The best amenities in my opinion were the close walk to a private beach (~5 minutes) reserved for Maravilla guests only and the ability to use two chairs and an umbrella that were reserved every day. Chairs are set up beginning at 630am every morning and taken down at 5pm every day, or early in the event of a storm. All you must do is give them your Maravilla room number, and last name. The attendants prefer tips if you are inclined. They will also hold the same chair for you for a fee of $20 a day, otherwise first-come first-serve, the earlier you get to the beach the better options you have for the day. My wife and I would get up early, grab two chairs, and have coffee on the beach. We would return later when ready to enjoy the water. If you are looking for a trip packed with activities, then I recommend staying here in Destin as everything is close. We did a sunset dolphin cruise (Southern Star), Big Kahuna’s water park, snorkeling adventure (Destin Snorkel), Escapology De

One of the Best Places We've Stayed

This Condo was wonderful. It was immaculate, the beds were super comfortable, hot water lasted l long enough to have two baths going at once for our kiddos, being on the 1st floor made things super simple, and NOT being oceanfront meant that we did not have the car noise of all the cars that drive that beachfront road throughout the day. Also, Miramar Beach is probably our new favorite location on the panhandle. Its not as crowded as Destin, yet provides all the fun amenities nearby. Our property manager was easy to communicate with. We were missing a dustpan and he had Walmart delivery drop one off next day. We were super happy with it. Would stay there again with our crew.

Halloween Beach Trip

The condo was unbelievably clean and up to date with all the furnishings. Probably about 200 yards to the beach and about 50 yards to either of the two pools. And the best thing, when on the beach you have a close bathroom by one of the condo pools to walk to without going all the way back to condo. Love the ground floor too. Be back soon

Good trip

Clean, close to beach. Only drawbacks, rooms needed a few updates. Kitchen lacked equipment. I know it can’t be helped but the dogs were everywhere. Always in our back yard. Had to step over poop several times. We have a dog but that’s why she stays elsewhere when we are on vacation.

Enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this property. Check in and check out were very easy. Very responsive to inquiries made before we traveled. This property is in a great location. Close to dining and shopping. And access to the beach was wonderful. There were only two of us on this trip, but we didn't feel like we rented too much space with this property, though it would certainly accommodate more people. We didn't need to use the beach toys or wagon provide, but it was nice having it available.

Nice place to stay

Was a little confusing to begin with to find our place. While in process of finding a place I mistakenly booked this one as we wanted directly on the beach, but we did have a great time there. Owners were quick to respond to any questions and the condo was clean and well maintained. Overall everything was great. Wish the back deck had either a ceiling fan or working plugs because it was so hot and not enough seating on the porch. Not a fan of the sliding door bottom rail being so high. Couple of us tripped on it several times but understand why it is necessary. Would recommend this location.

We stayed at Maravilla rm 1112. Wonderful and clean condo! That's saying a lot since I'm a bit of a germaphobe. A great place to bring the family since there is so much to do in the area. The weather was not great, but we still found things to do.

Wonderful beach condo

This residence was extremely clean and fresh inside! It has been nicely updated and decorated. The location and access to the beach and other restaurants and attractions was A++. Appliances are new and work well. Kitchen was well outfitted. Everyone could watch their own favorite show with TVs in every bedroom and living room. Being on the ground floor means not shlepping luggage and beach gear up and down. There was a “vintage video game” system in the bunk room that our boys loved! The board games and beach items on the porch were a super “plus!”

Awesome Condo

This is one of the nicest condo’s I have ever stayed in. Great property. Very close to beach. This unit had almost everything a family could ever need for a vacation on the beach. Entire experience was amazing! We are a family of 2 adults and 5 children and had plenty of room. Very well maintained and furnished. When we come back to Miramar beach, this is where we will stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Kilkenny

Host profile image
We love traveling to the gulf coast and have been for the past 15 years. We wanted to get a place we could enjoy the beach at with our family year after year.

Why they chose this property

After going up and down the coast we settled on Miramar Beach. It seems to have the best mix of fantastic beach, great amenities, entertainment, without being overly crowded.

What makes this property unique

Walk to restaurants, short drive to plenty of retail and shopping. Even walk down the street to winery for wine tastings!
