Where do I begin.........we rented unit #2206. We rented through VRBO and the website of this unit (by owner) looked and sounded amazing. Upon arrival we found very little of what was advertised. West Indies decor was extremely cheap. The dust was very thick on nearly everything. We had to purchase 10 lightbulbs when we arrived. Remote controls had duct... more

We rented unit 1103 at Maravilla for a week in June. This was our third year in a row staying at Maravilla. Our reservations were made through Southern Resorts. The cost was about $1700 including all taxes and administrative fees. It was a 3 bedroom, 2 bath unit and easily housed our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. We... more

I spent a week in April at Maravilla. We booked our condo through VBRO.com. Our condo did not have a beach view but was a short 1-2 minute walk. The condo was not quite as nice as shown in the pictures but in the end, we all felt like we had gotten a great deal for the price we paid.... more

We booked one week at Maravilla. The condo was just as expected (as in photos and descriptions). It was clean and neat. The noise level from the unit above was at times annoying but anyone who's lived in an apartment wouldn't mind. The location was perfect. We didn't go to spend time at the condo - it was mainly to... more

We just returned today (Aug 4 2007) from our stay at a second floor unit that faces the beach. Our rental condo was newly decorated in a safari type and the view from the balcony superb. We chose Maravilla because it has some pet friendly units and looked nice on the website. We loved it, but were only given one... more

Our unit at Maravilla was very nice, nothing real extravagant, but everything was tight, clean, nice looking. We were on the second floor facing the beach and near the pool. Bed was comfortable. We never had any problem with space at the pool and it was always clean. Beach was great. On the negative side, the second bedroom was pretty... more

Maravilla celebrated their completion of reconstrction, is all new, beautifully landscaped and better then ever. We have the largest private beach on Miramar , 2.5 acres, and have completed our beach restoration. Each unit is privately owned and maintained , when selecting your unit, visit the owners website and be aware that some units are beautfully decorated , some are...

It was nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. Our condo was a direct gulf front with awesome views of the ocean and beach. Scenic road 98 was directly in front of the... more

We booked our condo via the internet because we love Destin and the Miramar Beach area where Maravilla is located. The pictures of the unit looked fine and the owner's description seemed to fulfill our needs. We booked unit 1413. However, upon arriving, we were more than disappointed. The condo itself has two bedrooms one of which is very small... more

Stayed in a 2 bdr/1bunk room/2 bath condo at Maravilla. Location was great with easy beach access across the road and within walking distance to several restaurants, coffee shop and beach stores. There was some repair work being done on the complex but pools and tennis court were open. Complex was clean, plenty of chairs at pool. Our unit, 1303,... more
