Maravilla Resort in Miramar Beach is a 33 acre, gated resort featuring the largest private beach in the area — 2.5 acres of private pristine beach!

Maravilla Cottages within Maravilla Resort offer guests privacy and space, while still allowing access to the fabulous amenities. Many folks enjoy the view of the ocean from the beachside pool at Maravilla Resort. Plus, another large pool is located by the clubhouse for a relaxing day of sun!

Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway, convenient to both Sandestin and Miramar Beach. For the high-end shopper, the center offers a number of boutiques, and dining options.


If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Beautiful Beach House
We enjoyed our stay at the Crab Shack. The house was so inviting. Beautifully decorated. The bed in the primary bedroom was so comfy & an adjustable bed in one of the other bedrooms was a pleasant surprise! We had everything that we needed in the kitchen to make mealtime easy. It was wonderful to be so close to the beach with the convenience of having beach service the only thing we needed to carry was a beach bag! Looking forward to coming back again.

Best beach house 🦀
We had an amazing vacation in this home! I will definitely stay here again. Location was perfect, very clean and decorated like a beach house should be . Having the pool and pickleball courts was a huge plus! Short walk to the beach and short drive to everything we wanted to do in Destin. We had a smoke alarm issue which was resolved within 15mins. So easy to contact realjoy representative! Only negative I'd say is the pans are kinda old, hard to cook because the pans were not nonstick and the kitchen table was very unlevel and wobbly. And the golf cart was in the driveway (couldn't use) making it hard to park 2 cars. Loved being able to bring our pets also!

Very spacious and excellent location
This was our first visit to Destin, Florida. We chose this house because it looked very nice and had enough space for us and our three teenagers to have our own space and because it seemed to be at a good location at a reasonable price. We were not disappointed! We really liked how spacious, clean and nicely decorated this place was. There is access to a private beach area for the community and they already have beach chairs and umbrellas there. You do need to bring beach towels and I recommend to bring clothes detergent if you are planning on washing any clothes. Also, they provide only two detergent tabs so if you are planning on running the dishwasher more than twice you should consider bringing some. We absolutely loved this rental and will gladly come back in the future.
