About this property

Charming Beach Resort Cottage - Gated with Private Beach Entrance

  • Bright and airy 5BR, 3Bath cottage in the gated resort community of Maravilla. We are in the center of everything! Private beach entrance, fitness center, pools and tennis courts. Walk to Pompano Joe's for dinner or lunch right on the beach. Uncrowded beach with sugar white sands and chair and umbrella service available. Maravilla lies in Miramar Beach between Destin and Sandestin, close to the Sugar Sands Outlet Mall, Destin Commons, Walmart and Publix. Located on a quiet avenue in the houses with no through traffic, great if you have kids. Master Bedroom has its own garden tub and vanity area. 2nd King room has room for crib or separate child's play area and has a sleep number bed. Fully equipped kitchen with 2 ice makers and outdoor grill on patio with picnic table and umbrella. All rooms have TVs, fans and throw pillows. Really nice and spacious for family vacation with room to spread out.

    2nd house identical floor plan called Pink Pearl located one house over. iI you need more rooms and spaces for a larger group but value the quiet of separation at night - rent both!

The property was very pet friendly. The house was clean and perfect for my family. We had 10 people and never felt crowded. The only suggestion i would have is maybe some more seating in the living room.

Great time, Great Accommodations!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The accommodations were perfect for us and our family members who could come to Florida to join us. We have stayed in the Maravilla community before and love the proximity to the beach and the entire community. The hosts were great about communicating with us and making sure that our stay was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Fall Break

The house was perfect for our family of 7. My daughter's boyfriend proposed on the beach with an airplane with a banner asking if she would marry him! Such a fun week. The only drawback is the house didn't have beach setup, which most of the properties at the Maravilla do have, but it was spacious enough for all of us to spread out at the house and the manager was very friendly and helpful during our stay!

The house was the perfect size for our group. The 5 badroom / 3 bath made it easy for us all to rest and get ready for the day. The beds could use an update, some are super firm and some are really soft. The location of the property is fantastic, very close to everything. The owners were super responsive and very nice.

Beautiful Destin!

The property owners were so quick to respond when we had questions preparing for our stay. Thank you! We had a lovely time visiting Destin and spending time with family and friends. We were so happy that this property was a quick walk to the beautiful beach. The heated pool was a great time as well!

Excellent stay

The home was perfect for my multi-family trip. It is large and spacious. Plenty of linens and towels. It is a short walk to the pool. The beach access is a bit of a walk with little ones but you can park at the condos right behind the home and walk straight onto the beach through the private entrance. The neighborhood is super quiet and very well maintained. The hosts are excellent communicators if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend!

Property was great. The distance to the private beach access was a little further than portrayed in the description. It’s more like 150yds rather than 50yds. Overall it was a great property and we had a great experience from start to finish! House was the perfect size for everyone with plenty of space. No one ever felt cramped up, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms there was plenty of room to do whatever we wanted. 10/10 recommend!!
