About this property
Newly Remodeled! Pet friendly; Updated Decor; Free Beach Service
Welcome to Paradise! Maravilla is the most popular family-oriented resort in Destin / Miramar Beach, FL. We are a gated community with a large interior parking lot that includes a portico for loading/unloading, as well as 2 tennis courts, pickle ball court, a basketball court, shuffleboard, two pools (1 heated for fall/winter vacationing), a hot tub, workout facility, and bike racks. In addition, there is a clubhouse available for rental for your private parties or gatherings.
There is plenty of green space for the children to run and play safely, as well as a pet potty area, and most importantly, we have a 2.5-acre private beach which is the largest private beach in the area. We now have a beach ramp! No more stairs!
For large groups, if rented far enough in advance, I manage the condo next door and it also sleeps 8 & so could be rented simultaneously to enjoy the close proximity.
Our 3 bedroom unit has the largest floor plan available. It has recently been professionally decorated with a Tuscan-Style Décor, fully tiled & ready for you, your friends, your kids, or small pet to enjoy. The master has a beautiful new tiled shower with a matching mirror. Your "home away from home" is open and airy and has a 40 ft. balcony located off the Living Area as well as off the Master Suite. We offer 4 beach chairs & 2 umbrellas FREE per day March 1st - October 31st for your enjoyment, as well as cable & wifi.
The fully-equipped kitchen has new cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a ceramic tile floor. The coffee maker and blender will come in handy for hot and cold beverages and there is plenty of plates/bowls, silverware, glasses, pots/pans and cooking utensils so you don’t need to bring a thing! There is a washer/dryer and iron/ironing board for your convenience.
There are two Master Suites both with a King Size bed, HDTV flat screen, DVD and private full bath. We provide custom drapery with black out liners for those that prefer to sleep in.
The 3rd bedroom is a perfect space for the children to unwind from a day at the beach watching a movie or reading a book on the new full-sized bed, although the extra thick mattress accommodates most adults easily and comfortably.
The Living Area has a sofa that will provide additional sleep space for two, if need be. The HDTV Flat screen and DVD is great for keeping up with all the sporting events, movies and news stories that you seem to miss at home. In addition, we also provide WiFi Internet Service for your computer/tablet/etc.
Of course, sitting on the balcony having your morning coffee and reading the paper or enjoying a cold beverage after a fun day in the sun enjoying the view, is always paradise as you smell the fresh sea air!
We are a pet-friendly condo but do not allow ALL pets. Please describe your pet when asking about our condo. Cats are not allowed due to people's allergies. Non-aggressive, well-mannered and trained dogs weighing under 30 pounds are acceptable.
Rental golf carts and e-bikes are now allowed, while other motorized vehicles (e-scooters, one-wheelers, etc.) remain prohibited. At Maravilla each condo is allowed 2 unassigned parking spaces.

Clean, comfy, and inviting—this place had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and even seasonings, which made it easy to cook several meals. The beds were very comfortable, and everything felt well cared for throughout the condo.The pools were clean and well-maintained, and the location couldn’t be better—just across the street from the beach. The provided boogie boards were such a fun bonus and made our time in the ocean even more enjoyable as we rode the waves.We also loved having access to beach chairs and an umbrella—those thoughtful extras really enhanced our beach days.Communication with the host was excellent. They provided helpful information ahead of time, including details about nearby hospitals and veterinarians, what was stocked in the condo, and what we should bring. Check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow.The folder with recommendations for local restaurants was another great touch and made exploring the area even easier.Overall, a wonderful spot for a comfortable, convenient, and fun beach getaway!

Thank you Cindy! We do strive to imagine anything our guests would need and try to do what we can to provide it. The owners are diligent and keeping the unit updated too! I am happy you enjoyed your stay!
This condo was great - super comfortable beds, short walk to the gorgeous beach, balcony is shady in the afternoon with a beautiful view of the water from the end adjacent to the master bedroom. Loved having our pup along for the trip too! My parents have stayed all over in the Destin area and gave this complex high marks!
The location and condo were very convenient and clean. We had a lot if supplies when we arrived to the condo. The entire stay process was great and Maravilla is pet friendly!

Thank you so much for leaving us a perfect review. So happy to hear everything was “perfect.” We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We had adults, teens and kiddos for a week long family trip here. This is the best condo we’ve ever stayed in! Super easy access to beach WITH the chairs and umbrellas. Close to restaurants/grocery and the condo itself is spacious and has warm and has every dish or accessory you’d need. The pool and the pickleball courts were great!

About the host
Hosted by Karen and Stephanie Pittman
This condo is managed by my daughter (Stephanie) and me (Karen). We reside in Villa Rica, GA and hope to one day retire and live in this area. I have been managing properties in GA and FL since 2001. Stephanie has over 7 years of experience in customer service. We strive to make your vacation a satisfying one! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Why they chose this property
We have come to this area for many years to vacation here. We feel our beach is the prettiest with its sugar-white sand that is not hot on your feet. We never tire of seeing dolphins in the ocean right in front of the condo. There are many restaurants to choose from, plenty of shopping and activities. The warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze is soothing and relaxing. The sound of the waves calls our names to come back year after year.
