About this property

Gulf View Maravilla 3205-Private Beach, Pickleball, Pools, Hot Tub, Dog-Friendly

  • Welcome to Sand in Your Sandals, a beautifully updated condo in the highly rated Maravilla Resort. Located on the second floor of Building 3, this bright and airy unit features an oversized balcony with lovely side views of the Gulf, accessible from both the living room and the master suite. Inside, you’ll enjoy granite countertops, comfortable beds, and stylish hardwood‑look tile throughout.

    Maravilla is one of the area’s most desirable resorts thanks to its unbeatable location JUST ACROSS THE STREET from our private 2.5‑acre beach. Seasonal beach setup (March–October) with two chairs and an umbrella is included. The resort is family‑ and dog‑friendly and offers two pools (one heated seasonally), a hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, a fitness center, community grills, picnic areas, and two free parking spots. Miles of walking and biking paths surround the property. The condo is stocked with games, beach toys, a wagon, and sports equipment to make your stay even easier.

    The white‑sand beach is only 150 yards away, with kayaks, paddleboards, beach wheelchairs, and seasonal beach volleyball available. Our beach vendor also offers bike rentals, golf carts, and bonfire services.

    You’ll be within walking distance of popular restaurants like Pompano Joe’s, Captain Dave’s, and Kenny D’s, plus coffee and ice cream shops. Excellent shopping is minutes away at Destin Commons, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and Grand Boulevard. Adventure seekers can enjoy parasailing, jet skiing, pontoon rentals, dolphin cruises, and fishing charters. Golfers have access to top courses including Regatta Bay, Kelly Plantation, and Indian Bayou. Families will love Big Kahuna’s Water Park and The Track’s go‑carts, rides, and arcade.

    Our housekeeping team takes great pride in maintaining the condo. All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and all linens are professionally laundered at high temperatures for your comfort and peace of mind.

    We hope your Emerald Coast getaway is filled with relaxation, fun, and plenty of soft white sand in your sandals.

We loved everything about this trip! The owner is amazing! The communication is top notch, no BS! She made sure we knew there would be construction during our stay and kept us updated on it, when she was made aware of a situation, she told us immediately. She had an unexpected situation come up right before our dates and we were impressed by the way she handled it!

This is the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in. The unit had everything you could want for a beach vacation - games, beach chairs, a cooler, water toys - and was beautiful and so comfortable. The location was perfect. Steps to the beach and right by a lovely walking trail through Miramar Beach. The host was super communicative and welcoming. The best part is, we were able to bring our dog! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I can't recommend this rental highly enough.

Spring break visit

This was a great home to spend the second half of our spring break. The property was as listed and had lot of amenities for the beach. It's also very near plenty of restaurants and amusements. The owner was very responsive to our questions. We had a small issue with getting warm showers but I'm sure it will be rectified. The owner has notified us that the property was undergoing a major renovation. The work did impede our movement and caused a good bit of dust and noise. That made it a 4.5 star visit for us but I understand the work will be completed in a few months.

Everything and more

Can’t say enough good things about this place. Michelle checked in with us numerous times and kept us updated throughout the week. She has everything you need and more. I usually bring extra trash bags and zip lock bag…I didn’t need to, Michelle had those covered. Need extra sunscreen or aloe….already there too. Basically, all the things that you might find yourself running to the store for are already thought of and taken care of. We brought our Golden Retriever who absolutely loved sitting out on the balcony with me to people watch. Access to beach was great and the “chair guys” were amazing…even offered to run to gas station to get me an Alani. The pools, pickle ball courts and cornhole boards were fantastic when we needed a break from the beach. The location of the resort is also great- easy to grab a bite to eat and shop! Would definitely stay here again!
