About this property

“Emerald SeaZ”-2BR with Gulf Views, Beach Service & Pup-Friendly!

The Maravilla Resort community has undergone an eight-month, property-wide exterior restoration project, which was completed in May 2025. We are grateful for all of the guests who persevered and stayed with us during that time.

Moving forward, we are excited to offer our guests a fresh look and some additional amenities in an upgraded environment. We have elevated your guest experience by offering the following:

* NEW beach ramp that can accommodate motorized chairs for our guests who need a little extra help getting around. Also, PARENTS, no more carrying your beach cart up and down the stairs!!!!
* On-site 24-hour ice vending machine (#14 bags)
* On-site soda machine
* On-site bike rentals offered through La Dolce Vita
* Guests may now enjoy a golf cart rental while staying at Maravilla Resort.

Book early to secure preferred dates and rates, as the Emerald Seaz fills up quickly each year. Enjoy a discount on stays of 7 days or more, automatically applied at booking.

Complimentary Beach Service for four (4) is included for stays between March and October, offering a $600 value per week for our guests. This includes two (2) beach umbrellas and four (4) chairs set up for our guests daily.

Escape to Emerald Seaz, #3207, our charming beach retreat along the stunning Emerald Coast on the Gulf of Mexico. From the moment you step inside, you'll find your perfect getaway in the Destin/Miramar Beach area. Enjoy modern, thoughtfully designed, and comfortable accommodations that exceed expectations, enhanced by an exceptional guest experience. And, of course, the view is ABSOLUTELY spectacular.

Located in Maravilla #3207, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo comfortably hosts six guests and features a stunning 27-foot balcony spanning the entire width of the unit, accessible from both the living area and master bedroom. From this balcony, you’ll relish breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico and the relaxing sound of waves crashing on the shore. It’s bound to become your favorite “room” — the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee and a book, unwind on a chaise lounge for an afternoon rest, sip an evening drink at sunset, or share meals with loved ones.

Just steps away, Maravilla’s private beach invites you to 2.5 acres of pristine, sugar-white sands and the sparkling blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Your complimentary beach service makes it even easier to enjoy the beautiful beachfront.

Maravilla Resort is one of the Emerald Coast’s premier family- and dog-friendly vacation spots. Often called a "hidden gem" by guests, this gated community is ideally positioned on Miramar Beach, where Scenic Gulf Highway meets US 98W at the start of Walton County’s scenic 30A corridor. With easy access from both north and south entrances, Maravilla Resort is just minutes away from award-winning shopping and dining destinations, named the "Best of the Emerald Coast" by Emerald Coast Magazine. Golf enthusiasts will also appreciate the nearby Regatta Bay Golf Course, honored by Golf Digest as one of North America’s "Top Places to Play."

You’re also within walking or biking distance of some of the area’s best beachside dining options, including Pompano Joe’s (a quick 1/4 mile away), Captain Dave’s (just 1/2 mile), and the Crab Trap (2 miles). Right next door, you’ll find Kenny D’s, a local favorite known for its amazing seafood gumbo and freshly grilled fish!

Nearby, you’ll also discover the Dolphin Snorkel Reef, an impressive man-made reef with 60 modules arranged in the shape of a bottlenose dolphin. Be sure to bring your snorkel, mask, and flippers to explore this vibrant underwater world! For those who prefer fishing, consider booking a deep-sea fishing adventure with a local charter. Our family highly recommends Charter Boat Hard Charger—ask for Captain Tim! Contact him directly and let him know I referred you! He's known as one of the best in the area and can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

For shopping and family fun, the Destin Commons offers over 75 shops, amazing eateries, and an AMC movie theater. Other local attractions include Big Kahuna’s Water & Adventure Park, The Track - Destin, and Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park. In Miramar Beach, there’s truly something for everyone!

Family of Five

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our two teenage daughters and five year old son had a wonderful time! It was our son’s first time to the beach (we adopted him two years ago). He’s a cautious kid, so we weren’t sure how he’d feel about the beach, but he LOVED it and being within walking distance was amazing! Having the available beach chairs made it so easy. The location was great! We went to the beach, on a sunset dolphin catamaran tour, shopping, and to Eden Gardens State Park all within an easy drive. Thank you for thinking of everything, so that our stay was comfortable and relaxing!

Couldn't Be Better!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, and it did NOT disappoint. When we first visited, the condo had recently been renovated and everything was new and upscale. Fast forward a few years, and it's exactly the same! It is impeccably clean, well-kept, and supplied with all the essentials - and then some! Ann, the owner, could not be nicer, and is attentive to anything you need. She is very responsive to any questions before and during your stay, and she gives great restaurant recommendations! The condo is conveniently located very close to the beach with a great view from the balcony, yet feels very private and is quiet. The furniture is nice and the beds are very comfortable. Parking is convenient to the condo, and there are plenty of restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Just a short drive to the outlet mall and grocery store. I highly recommend this property. You can't go wrong!

Disappointed.

Initially communication between the property owner and me was great. Everything changed once arriving. First, I was given the wrong access code to enter the property. I texted the owner and she gave me another code to try which worked. When I got to the door, I was supposed to be given a temporary code to get in the condo which was the last 4 numbers of my cell phone number. The numbers were out of order, not a big deal but not what was initially communicated. When we arrived, everything looked beautiful until we tried to cook a frozen pizza. Then the unwanted pests appeared. Sugar ants!! I texted the property owner and she was apologetic. I kept her updated and she said she would try to get the pest control there. We purchased pest spray, which didn’t seem to deter the critters at all. They were all in the kitchen and would get on anything we set on the counter. The next day, we found lots of them in the master bedroom on the floor. I kept the owner informed. By the third night, we arrived back from the grocery store to cook dinner and there were hundred of them everywhere, in the sink, the counter, everywhere. The owner responded by saying the pest control guy could come on our check out day. I asked if we could leave early and get a partial refund because I have a food allergy and that was the reason we chose a vrbo so I could eat at the condo instead of restaurants. We couldn’t even cook a frozen dinner without seeing ants everywhere. The owner said absolutely. I texted the next day to update her when we left. No response. I messaged a week after we returned home to check on my refund. The owner said she would check…no response. Now, over two weeks later, I texted again. No response. Frustrated. Disappointed. Learned a lesson the hard way. No more vrbo for me!!!

About the host

Hosted by Ann DeCapite

Host profile image
After serving for 20+ years in the US Marine Corps, my husband finally retired and we are living our dream as the owners of "Emerald SeaZ." I grew up in Thomasville, GA and vacationed my entire life on the Gulf beaches, especially in Destin, Ft. Walton, and Pensacola. To say that Destin is my "happy place" is an understatement, and I am so excited to be able to share my love of beauty and beach with you and your family. As landlords for over 20 years, we are not new to the real estate world and have the business experience, professionalism, and attention to detail to ensure you have a great vacation experience at the Emerald Seaz. As dog-lovers and parents to 3 children and 2 four-legged babies, we also felt it important to find a place where you could bring your entire family...even the furry ones. If you would like to speak with us, please feel free to call at 817.676.1405.

Why they chose this property

We chose Maravilla because it is family-friendly and has a unique location that is convenient to everything. The property has a north and south entrance that allows for easier navigation, especially during peak vacation times.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique as the moment you walk through the door you immediately feel like you are on vacation. We also have a beautiful view of the beach from the balcony and the master bedroom. I have actually been sitting in bed drinking my coffee and have seen the dolphins swimming by in the Gulf of Mexico. And, I LOVE that the location of the condo is close enough to hear the waves crashing on shore. Read our reviews!!! You will LOVE the Emerald SeaZ!
