We had amazing time at the Maravilla! The 2 pools were amazing to sit at everyday. Since it was just two of us, the condo was plenty of space and never felt it was small.The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied, and the deck off it with the view of the ocean was amazing. If we could have, we definitely would have stayed longer.
Bed jiggles, all walls need serious paint job, shower has no water flow, chairs uncomfortable, no stove light, no stove exhaust fan (cause the built in microwave has no power) the microwave provided on counter, is ok, but difficult to operate the door “Lock”, shower floor is slick when wet. Vert dangerous. Toilet seat way too small. Only one bedside table, which is difficult when both use cpap machines. The plus side:TVs were awesome, pools and AC were great, Nice to allow dog of any size. Would not rent this specific condo again.
We had a lovely weekend. Condo was clean and very comfortable. Only thing we did not like was paying per night to park. It would be different if they provided security, but they didn’t. Other then that, great stay.

The K- cup coffee machine did not work. The condo smelled like urine. The couch was the source of the smell. We had trouble getting TV to work. The condo could have been cleaner but I think the smell was the worse. We got reported for noise and the person also called police. We found out it was the tenant under us that had also reported other renters. I have stayed at Maravilla but not gone through stay porter (Vurbo) . I will make sure I don’t use this property management again.

Hello Cheryl, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry for the cleanliness issues, odor, and the problems with the coffee maker and TV. This is not the experience we want for our guests. We’re also sorry for the stress caused by the noise complaint by the other tenant during your stay. Your comments have been shared with our team to correct these issues and we still hope we can get the chance to host you in the future so we can make it up to you.
