Disclaimer: Playing tourist near my hometown, which means an unbiased review is impossible. This review ultimately came down to the question: Would I recommend this place to my relatives when they come to visit? The answer was a definite 'yes'. I stayed in November, which is definitely not tourist season. Since I live near the area, I know this place... More

We rented a 2 bedroom Condo on the beach. It was quiet, family friendly, pretty clean. The private beach and beach service was amazing. The two on site pools were fantastic and neighbors were quiet. Couldn't ask for a better vacation rental.

This was a 2-bedroom condo and it was very clean and nice. We stayed directy across from the beach and had a great view. My husband and I loved the condo; however, we would stay in a 2-bedroom on a couples trip. The second bedroom was extremely small and there was really no walking space. The only problem we had...

We stayed in #2207 rented through Southern resorts, really liked the resort in general, nice family atmosphere.I liked the key code entry and not having to check in. just arrive at 4pm or after and go straight to the condo. The condo itself needs some updating and work. In the masterbed bath the shower doors leaked because of old caulking... More

We love Destin, and maravilla has both a great location and a private access beach with beach service. The resort as a whole is a little tired however the individual units are owned by different people - so pick carefully as there is huge variety in the standards. We stayed in 1206 as we have done before - partial beach... More

Unit 2210 is outdated and in need of repair, good location but would never recommend to a friend. Do yourself a favor and avoid Destin if you want more than a retirement community and a beach. There was numerous problems with the unit and it starts with upkeep. Looks like the decorated it in a "west indie" style from K-Mart... More

We were so excited to be spendng a week there, but excited soon turned to disgust. Our unit was 1306. It was dirty and very musty smelling. The furniture was so nasty we bought sheets to sit on so we wouldn't have to sit on the couch. The chair was falling apart. The West Indies decor as described was really... More

Spent New Years Eve at the resort. We had a two bedroom condo that was pet friendly. It was a great place to walk the dog in and around the resort. This really is an ideal location for dining and shopping. We are planning to go back in the summer.

We chose Maravilla for their pet-friendly policy first, and secondly for the free beach-setup included in the price. We rented through VRBO and found the unit in great shape and larger than it looked in the photos. This unit is on the fourth floor and conveniently located near the elevator but not where you would have a lot of foot... More

We were looking for a pet friendly beach condo and stayed at Maravilla 2402. The Maravilla is across the street from the beach, but there is nothing but beautiful pristine beach on the other side of the street with private beach access for Maravilla guests. The condo building is "U" shaped and our unit was in the middle section #2... More
