Our stay was great, close proximity to the beach, easy to walk to the beach and the pool. Beach service was great, but get there early. Space was clean and looks exactly like the pictures.
This was a great property. Right across from Gulf. We stayed here in March 2026 The location was fantastic, very clean and had everything you needed. Beach service was a bonus.
Condo was excellent, great lay out, all the amenities you would need. Just the right amount of furniture, not to cluttered.

Excellent property, very clean and comfortable. Everything necessary for a stay away from home was provided. Close to the beach. The area is very pet friendly. Bar far one of the nicest properties we have stayed at when visiting the Destin area. Would definitely stay here again.

Great condo, excellent property management! Encountered some construction noise and they helped immediately. Great location! Beach was awesome and beach service was still happening!!!
The aesthetic of this place was perfect! The paintings were mesmerizing! Such a cute condo! Close to the beach and heated pool! Condo was stocked well with paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags provided. Plenty of towels. Even had games, puzzles, & books for all ages for those rainy moments.

Thank you so much for your great 5 star review Lindsey. We hope you and your family will be back again very soon.
This was our first time visiting Destin. The weather wasn’t very cooperative but our VRBO condo was everything we expected and didn’t disappoint. It was clean, well stocked and in a safe gated community. Would definitely stay there again but want to come during the warmer months so that we can truly enjoy the beautiful beach.
This was advertised as ground floor. It was on the second floor. We needed ground floor. It was a beautiful, clean, comfortable place to stay.

We have stayed at Maravilla multiple times over the past three years. The area is perfect.
Loved it. We had a short in the electrical system. A breaker was going out in the outside panel. If was repaired immediately. We will book this condo again; it was on the ground floor and easy to take our dogs in and out.

Thank you so much. As in any home occasionally issues do arise and we were glad that we could get this taken care of so quickly. Guest love the easy access to the beach and the updated quality of this condo. We look forward to your return.
This condo was very clean and the kitchen was very well-appointed. Supplies were available as promised, and after a confusing week of streaming tv, we found out how to get the regular channels. The location, if it couldn’t be on the Gulf, was very good. It was very close to the pool, certainly easily accessible to walking paths. We two old ladies and our old dog were very comfortable.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review Catherine. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will be back again very soon.
Although you could not see the beach from the condo, the location was amazing. Maybe half block to the beach. Always had chairs and umbrella waiting for us once we got there. The condo had a fully stocked unit with a great layout with the bunkbeds in the hall or the sofa bed to choose from for the kids Very dog friendly. Would stay there again, only suggestion replace or clean the throw rugs on the floors But we just took them up and put them in the closet. Had a great time there.
We have been snowbirds for several years and stayed in Maravilla several times. This was our first time staying unit 4104. Upon arrival the condo was very clean and the furnishings are very comfortable. There is plenty of parking right outside our door. It is a short walk to the beautiful white sand beach. Several restaurants are within a 10-15 minute walk with many additional restaurants within a 15 minute drive. The only suggestion I have is to install a slip resistant mat in the tub/shower. The floor of the tub is extremely slick with soap suds on it. We like this unit very much and will keep it on our list for possible future stays.
We really enjoyed the ground floor unit since we brought our pups with us. The unit is definitely older, but there were some nice upgrades. The floors and shower still need replacing, but overall we were pleased. The location was a short walk to the pool and the beach. There were also a couple of restaurants within walking distance if you don't feel like driving. I did expect Maravilla to have dog waste bags and garbage bins to dispose of the waste throughout the grounds (since they are pet friendly), but there are NONE. The only place to throw anything away is in the dumpsters that are located at the far back of the complex.
Overall, it was a good experience and if we chose to bring the furbabies again with us on vacation we would stay here again.
Maravilla is very dog friendly!! A short walk to the beach and chairs and umbrella great!!!
My biggest complaint was no internet and when I called the response was oh yeah 4104 has internet problems! I did get a code but I should have been notified or a note at the condo telling me the correct code.
One other problem was the bed frame! It sticks out and we both stubbed our toes everyday. It’s so tight in the bedroom hard to get around the bed, very little clearance.
Very clean and lots of towels.

Nice Condo but beware of spring breakers!
First of all this Condo was fine. No trouble, very comfortable. We have been coming to Destin close to 30 years. This however, was our first time this early in the year. Unfortunately, the week we stayed was the first week of spring break for many schools. If you are young and up all night, great time to come. For two seniors that turn in early, not a good choice. We were woken from a dead sleep several nights by revelers in the parking lot about 4:00am. Ongoing parties also sounded like a herd of elephants were overhead. We love Destin, but won’t be back during spring break. Keep in mind none of this was due the fault of the property owners! I would have rated 5 stars if not for this.

Thank you so much for the positive comments about the condo. We have security to handle problems with noise and I do wish that you had let us know. Maravilla is a family oriented resort and this is not the typical experience of our guests. I will pass the comments along to our association .
Stayed plenty of times in this area and I can honestly say this was the best place. Very much updated, location is excellent and very very clean!! Will come back.
This was our 5th time in this unit. We really like the new upgrades even though we are not a fan of the tissue holders in the bathrooms. We will be back again late summer.
Beautiful and clean place! Loved everything about it!!!

We had a wonderful time at Maravilla 4104. The grounds were impeccable and lots of places to walk our Sheepadoodle! A quick walk to the beach and there were two beach chairs and a umbrella waiting for us. Overall, the condo was great. We wished the outdoor space was a little more private, but it got the job done. We will look to spend Thanksgiving here next year!!!
