The Crab Shack is a lovely 3BR, 2BA cottage, conveniently located in Maravilla Resort, just across the street from beautiful Miramar Beach. The cottage features a spacious living area, 9-foot ceilings, a washer and dryer, and a large back deck for enjoying the beautiful night breeze and warm sunny days! The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Families with children or seniors will enjoy the ease of staying in a one-level property. Sleeping accommodations include a master bedroom with a king bed and an ensuite bath with dual vanities. Additionally, there is a guest bedroom with a queen bed, a second guest bedroom with a full bed and a twin bunk bed, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Take a stroll to one of the two community pools, hot tub, fitness center, tennis, basketball, and deeded beach frontage. No matter what you choose, you are sure to make long-lasting memories at The Crab Shack.

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 Resort has family oriented vacation rentals. It is a relaxed resort community, and it is less crowded than the downtown Destin area. 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! You will also love the tennis courts, basketball court and the shuffleboard area. Please note: renters are not allowed to drive golf carts in the Maravilla community.

Guest Bedroom: Queen Bed

Guest Bedroom: Full Bed + Twin Bunk Bed

Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

Area Attractions:

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!

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.
