We had a great stay at Miramar Beach! We loved the condo, the beach and being close to lots of great entertainment and restaurants. We will definitely be back!
This place is wonderful! Great location, very clean and had everything we needed. Excellent communication from our host Michelle, she gave great instructions and always checked in. It is conveniently located near the beach just steps away. Plenty of restauracnts in walking distance as well. I definitely recommend staying here and will book with Michelle again.
We had a great time. The condo is exactly as presented in VRBO. The condo was clean and you had a view of the ocean from the balcony. It was very stocked if you wanted to cook in the kitchen. Worked perfect for us.
We had the best time in Florida. Our host, Michelle, made everything very easy and answered any questions we had quickly. The accommodations were very neat and clean and included everything we could possibly need. We loved the heated pool and hot tub that were included, because the ocean was a little chilly during our stay. The beach access was also a bonus, the kids and I could get up and walk the beach every morning with out driving anywhere. This was our first vacation not staying in a hotel and we will definetly be doing this again.
If you’re looking for the perfect location, look no further! Check-in & Check-out a breeze, everything you could possibly need and more included. Place was very clean. Host was always available if needed and has the perfect visitor’s guide if you’re looking for things to do with young kids (besides the pool & beach). We will be back and highly recommend this rental.

We really enjoyed our nice and relaxing stay. The beach was steps away and loved that they had chairs and umbrella included. Great walking trail next to the condo and fast response in any question that I had from owner. The grounds around the area was very clean as well. I definitely recommend this place.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle
We first visited Miramar Beach years ago and instantly fell in love with its soft white sand and stunning emerald water. As parents of three boys, we were thrilled to discover how much the area offers—water sports, biking, hiking, shopping, great food, and endless year‑round activities that keep everyone entertained.
Maravilla quickly became our favorite resort. With two pools, a hot tub, tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, a fitness center, and easy beach access just steps away, it had everything our family wanted. When this condo became available, we knew it was the perfect fit. Recently remodeled and thoughtfully equipped, it includes all the comforts and amenities we value when we travel.
Some of our favorite moments are spent on the balcony, enjoying peaceful mornings and beautiful ocean views. We truly feel we’ve found a hidden gem at Maravilla, and we’re excited to share it with guests looking for a vacation that’s both relaxing and full of fun.
Please feel free to call Michelle at 248-444-3994 with any questions.
