"I love how private and close this unit is to the beach. We just walked out the back door, and it was a 2 minute walk. It was very convenient being on the ground floor since we brought our dog and could easily take her outside. The beach service on the beach told us the unit includes 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, which was awesome! Overall loved the condo!"

"Relaxing, comfortable, fun, exciting: It was just everything we wanted. - Continuous contact, via text, with the property was very calming. To know I just had to text to ask for anything I needed, it was very reassuring.
The property, the apartment, all was very inviting, comfortable, and had everything we needed.
I didn’t ask while we were there, we had plenty to do, but an indoor/shaded swimming pool would be nice for those wishing to swim out of the direct sun or even in the colder off season.
My girls still jumped in the ocean, little crazies, lol. I didn’t, lol."

"Perfect location and venue - Very comfortable condo with private beach across the street and two swimming pools to choose from. Property is clean and family friendly. Beds could use some new mattresses; that is my only suggestion. If you come make sure you have a car. Most entertainment and shopping is too far to walk and it is difficult and expensive to get a taxi/Uber/shuttle. No public busses or trolleys."

"Our family of 4 had a great stay at this 2 bedroom condo. The condo is close to both pools at Maravilla and close by the beach, so great location. To get to the private beach you just cross the parking lot behind the building, walk through a pass-through through the beach facing condo building, and then across the road to the gate to the beach. A beach Parasol and 2 chairs are included (you just tell the guys on the beach the unit number) and you can either pay for additional ones or set up your own.
The unit is on the ground floor with direct access from the parking lot and the front of the unit, which was great given COVID and that very few people in Destin/Miramar take the pandemic seriously).
Others have commented that the kitchen is well equipped and we also found it so. Among the more unusual kitchen gadgets in rental units we found: whisks, a peeler, a grater, a blender, and a collander. There were zero food items in the kitchen though: no salt, pepper, etc. Not sure if that is due to COVID, previous renters, or the management company.
The unit is a bit dated, but everything worked, the beds and sofas were comfortable, and generally the unit is very well laid out. If we were coming back to the area we would definitely consider staying there again."
