Welcome to The Blarney Stone – This is your lucky day! An ideal home for 2-3 families with children--we sleep up to 11 people. This lovely home will probably become your favorite beach vacation spot! Located in the Maravilla Resort, this beautifully updated beach cottage gives you the space and comfort of a stand-alone beach house, as well as the amenities of an exclusive beach resort: 2 beautiful swimming pools, fitness center, tennis and PRIVATE beach. It’s the best of both! Your rental also includes a COMPLIMENTARY ($600-800 value) 4-PASSENGER GOLF CART which you can use to drive to the beach, nearby shops and restaurants. Please note: while the resort is beachfront (the resort owns the beach) this house is located in the center of the resort about 300 or so yards off the beach. This inviting home features 3 KING bedrooms and a QUEEN bedroom with an additional TWIN bed and 2 full bathrooms. The fresh decor is light and bright with a true beach house feel. Centrally located on Scenic Gulf Drive (near the Silver Sands Outlet Mall and Pompano Joe's), this home is very close to local attractions, restaurants, and shopping. An abundance of windows with beautiful wooden shutters fill this home with light starting with the open living and dining area. There’s plenty of seating to enjoy conversation with friends and family, or perhaps catch a movie or sports on the large flat-screen ROKU TV with DVD player. Beautiful tile floors extend throughout this comfortable space. There’s a dining table with seating for 6, with room for more at the kitchen bar. The living room has a sleeper sofa. The fully-equipped kitchen has been updated with beautiful quartz counters and tile backsplash. It is open to the living area, making it perfect for enjoying guests while preparing your favorite food and beverages. You’ll find all the dishes, pans and utensils you may need and a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker. One roll of paper towels and basic cleaning supplies are provided. We want you to feel at home, and the large, open layout is a perfect gathering spot for your family or friends. For your convenience, you’ll find a full-size laundry room next to the kitchen. We keep all our homes clean and well updated, and pay attention to amenities you expect, such as high-speed internet (free wifi), nice flat-screen ROKU TVs (in living room and all bedrooms), hair dryers in each bathroom and more. (One roll of toilet paper is provided in each bathroom.) We also provide items our smaller guests may need like a high chair and pack-n-play.

You'll love this inviting fenced space - it even has a private outdoor shower - great for rinsing off after a day at the beach! With the 2-car garage, there is parking for up to 4 cars at this home. AMENITIES & LOCATION Maravilla is the one of the most popular family resorts in the Destin area. It’s a low-density resort, which means fewer people on the beach! It has a 2-acre PRIVATE beach with a gated entrance and plenty of green space for the kids to run and play safely. You'll find a beach wagon with 4 chairs - you can just roll it to the beach. You can also rent chairs and an umbrella from the vendor on the beach; no personal umbrellas are allowed on private beaches. Maravilla also features two swimming pools (one heated), a hot tub, BBQ grills, tennis & pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and a basketball hoop. It’s easy to see why families return to Maravilla year after year. GOLF CART – Complimentary use of the 4-passenger golf cart is included with this rental. Restaurants, activities and entertainment are close-by. You’ll appreciate the beautiful upscale shopping and entertainment at Destin Commons. It features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Bass Pro Shop, World of Beer, Whole Foods, Panera Bread, Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill, AMC Theater with IMAX and much more. Local favorites, Pompano Joe’s and Kenny D’s are a short walk away. You can bicycle, scooter, Jet ski and go para-sailing along the beach. The Silver Sands Outlet mall is not far for those who enjoy “retail therapy”! PET FRIENDLY We are pet friendly and welcome your dogs in our home.
