The condo is very clean. It is a short walk to the beach but the view is wonderful! The private beach was great to walk to and have an umbrella with chairs already set up.
The condo was clean and perfectly located across from the beach. We loved having the beach chair/umbrella set up! Huge selling point for use since we flew. It had all the amenities of home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Everything was so simple and easy to use. It was our first time bringing our dog with us so we where a little nervous. But he loved it as much as we did! Great place, will be back!
This condo is wonderful! Clean, close to the ocean, restaurants and shopping. Communication with the owner was prompt and helpful. The best part is I was allowed to bring my dog. Highly recommend this condo for a Mirmar Beach vacation.
Thank you for the wonderful place to stay! Only drawback was that it isn't gulf front view, but we knew that going in. We love that area and loved the icemaker! Best icemaker ever!
Thanks again for the wonderful stay!

The condo was as described and very clean. The beach was literally across the street with very comfy umbrellas and lounge chairs and crystal clear water! My only constructive criticism would be to put a Roku or fire stick in the main room for movies when the weather is crummy out or when relaxing after a day at the beach. But other than that easy fix, it was a wonderful stay with a VERY responsive hostess.
Beautiful condo, super clean & wonderful host!! Had everything we needed except ceiling fan over couch didnât work. Overall great weekend getaway and definitely will return! Pool was hot but temperatures are excessive right now. A little hike to beach but beautiful view from balcony.
We had not been to the Destin area previously and did not know what to expect when we booked our stay online. We were so pleasantly surprised! The condo was clean and communication with Bernadette was great. The location was great. We loved the view from the balcony, and the short walk to the beach and complimentary chairs and umbrella for use on the private beach was a definite plus. We loved being able to walk to some popular local restaurants and shops. The condo community was quiet and friendly, and our two puppies loved their adventure, too. We would definitely stay here again!
Maravilla and the condo were great! Not a far walk at all to/from the beach. Everything was clean, easy, and convenient. As others have mentioned, if you want your complimentary beach chairs o be in a âprimeâ location you do have to wait it line( ~0700), but we were up early anyways so it all worked out! Definitely would recommend and so, so happy we were able to take our dog.
The owner was very very helpful before our trip. My dad had some unexpected back surgery before our trip and ended up needing a wheel chair and walker. The owner was gracious enough to have the cleaning crew measure doorways for us. The room was nice and clean. It was also not overly cluttered by furniture. My dad travels with his own sleeping chair so it was nice to be able to set that up without rearranging the entire condo. He was able to zip around the room no problem. The bed slept great! We have stayed in marvilla several times but this was our first time in this room. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay. The condo was close to the beach and it was very clean and well kept. The beach was beautiful and private. The owner called to check on us during our stay which was very nice.
There were 2 glitches. First, VRBO gave us the wrong code for the gate entry. After 30 minutes of addressing that we couldnât get into the property, a kind resident happened to pull up behind us and gave us the correct code.
The keypad on the condo door was very tricky to open. We could not open it for about 5 minutes after a 6 hour trip, and it was dark outside when we got there and had to see.
All told, it was a very nice experience and we would consider going again.
This was most everything we wanted/needed for our visit to the Destin beaches. The condo is relatively small but was plenty big enough for my wife and me. We were notified a day before we arrived that beach towels weren't included but since we drove down from Iowa, it was too late to grab ours...we ended up buying a couple down there. Seems odd to me that you have a beach side condo and don't have 4 beach towels available. The chair and umbrella service was nice and we utilized every day. There seemed to be a possibility of "reserving" spots but never figured that out. Another easy fix would be having a kitchen rag and hand towel available...if they were there we never located them. The final "easy fix" I would recommend is having a portable cooler available to use...a much appreciated benefit for days spent on the beach. Bernadette was very helpful and responsive when we had questions/issues which was MUCH appreciated.
We live in Rome, GA and had our first vacation in Destin in 2006. We loved the place immediately because of its location and the beautiful private beach.
Since we really like the area, we bought our first Maravilla condo in 2007, a 3 bedroom 2 bath unit.We were able to enjoy this for our personal use and let others enjoy it also through VRBO. Through the years, we had guests looking for a smaller unit and we could not accommodate their needs. Fortunately, this unit came up for sale in 2012 and we loved the location. It is convenient and has a nice view of the water from the balcony. Now, we can offer our guests a choice of a 3 bedroom or a 1 bedroom unit or both for large families vacationing together.
