“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.

* 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.

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.

Such a great place! The beach was visible from the balcony and Master Bedroom...BEAUTIFUL!!It was literally a 2 minute walk and we were sitting on provided chairs/umbrellas on the beach!! The only kitchen item it was missing was a pizza pan and pizza cutter. We purchased a pizza pan and donated it for the use of future guests!! We improvised for cutting purposes with cooking shears! If your are ready for a relaxing week at the beach, you definitely should consider Emerald SeaZ!!

We had a great weekend at the Emerald SeaZ. The condo was just as is in the description and was stated in other positive reviews. It is also located in a great spot with great beach access.The only issue we experienced was that although the address and door access code were provided, the condo number was omitted from the VRBO check-in message. We eventually found the condo number in one of the review’s feedback comments. Ann replied to us a few minutes later. This seems to have been a VRBO issue. Ann connected with us each day to make sure everything was going well.We plan to stay again in the future.

My husband and I were looking for a place in Destin that would be of comfort for ourselves and our 16 year old yorkie for the week. This place was beautiful, clean, quiet, and located directly across the street from the beach. We could see the ocean from the balcony/bedroom which made for a serene ambiance. The amenities offered were above and beyond what we expected making our experience fun and carefree. We got to enjoy the beach each day with chairs and an umbrella which was very nice if you are all day beach people like we are. It’s also within an easy walk to local beach bar/restaurants which we took full advantage of. 10 out of 10! Would highly recommend staying at this condo for your next getaway.
