The Blarney Stone | 4BR Beach Cottage | Pet Friendly | Golf Cart | Pools | Private Beach!

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. There is plenty of private outdoor space to enjoy too from the cozy front porch to the beautiful back patio with seating, a dining area and a private outdoor shower! 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. 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. We also provide items our smaller guests may need like a high chair and pack-n-play.

Max occupancy is based on the combination of adults (ages 16+) and children; This home is most comfortable with up to 8-9 adults.

KING BEDROOM #1 - King Master with ensuite Bathroom
This beautiful bedroom features a comfortable king bed and 2 nightstands with lamps so you can relax and enjoy a good book, or curl up for an afternoon nap on luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets. There's a dresser and spacious walk-in closet offering plenty of space for your clothes and suitcases. There's also a flat-screen ROKU TV for you to enjoy in this room. This master escape includes a private ensuite bathroom.

BATHROOM #1 – Ensuite to King Master Bedroom
This spacious private bathroom features two sinks and a large vanity, commode and an inviting soaker tub. In addition to the separate shower, you'll appreciate large fluffy bath towels and a personal hair dryer. There's even a new towel warming rack - now that's luxury!

KING BEDROOM #2
This beautiful, bright bedroom features a king bed with a cotton quilt and super soft 100% cotton sheets. There are two nightstands with reading lamps. You'll enjoy this comfortable space with a dresser and closet for storage and a flat-screen ROKU TV.

KING BEDROOM #3
Another new king bed is awaiting you in this lovely room. A comfortable, cotton quilt and Egyptian cotton sheets make it a great place to rest after a long day at the beach. You'll find two nightstands with reading lamps and a flat screen ROKU TV. A dresser and a closet provide space for you to move in and make yourself at home.

QUEEN/TWIN BEDROOM #4
This inviting room offers a flexible layout for adults, children or families. There is a queen bed and a twin bed, both with colorful custom headboards. A convenient table with lamp sits between them. The beds are made up with beautiful quilts and super soft cotton sheets, so you'll sleep comfortably every night. There's a media cabinet with drawers, a large flat-screen ROKU TV and a closet for extra storage.

BATHROOM #2
This lovely hallway bathroom features a tub/shower combination, commode and vanity with storage. You'll find large, fluffy bath towels, as well as a personal hair dryer.

OUTSIDE SPACE and PARKING
In addition to the cozy front porch, you can relax in the comfortable seating and dining area on the private back patio. It's a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening beverages, or you can even enjoy your meals here too with table seating for 8. There's also a gas grill ready for your outdoor chef. You'll love this inviting fenced space.

SHOWER #3 - There's even an outdoor shower stall that offers a fully functioning, private shower (with hot water.) It comes with a warning though--it may cause family arguments about who gets to use it first! With the 2-car garage, there is parking for up to 4 cars at this home, depending on size.

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 & umbrella - you can just roll it to the beach. 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. There is a $300 per dog extra fee and your dog must be pre-approved by the owner. Only dogs allowed (no other pets.) Please include the breed/size/age of your dogs in your inquiry for pre-approval.

No one has standards as high as ours, and no one delivers on their standards like we do. You'll find our homes furnished nicer and better equipped than most, and impeccably maintained. We're here if you should need us during your stay.

Amazing Stay – Close to the Ocean, Spacious & Relaxing!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Florida! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the ocean, and close to town for all our grocery and dining needs. The house was spacious with plenty of room for the whole family, and the beds were incredibly comfortable for restful nights. We loved having easy access to two great pools, which were a perfect retreat after a day at the beach. Overall, it was the ideal spot for a family getaway, and we made wonderful memories. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient vacation!

Great beach house- short walk to beach!

We loved staying at The Blarney. It was a cute beach house with plenty of room for 7 people. The beds were comfy, the house was clean, and it was an easy walk to the beach but also came with a nice golf cart, which made the trip very easy with beach bags! The community pool was very basic but we were happy to spend all of our time at the beach! The patio in the backyard was great with sitting, a gas grill, and an outdoor shower. We would stay at this house again!

Amazing house, awesome neighborhood

Maravilla is our favorite neighborhood to stay in. It's gated, pet friendly, and has a private beach. The pools and hot tub are always relaxing after a day at the beach or crab island. We have stayed at a lot of places in Maravilla and the Blarney Stone is one of the best we have rented. The layout of the house is perfect and roomy and the decor is fun and beachy. We loved using the golf cart to get around!

Love the free Golf Cart

This is our second time to stay at The Blarney Stone. It was just as good as the last time, if not better. The addition of the free Golf Cart is great. Hardly used our car while here. The house is beautiful, well maintained, and has all the amenities you would need or expect in a family vacation.

WONDERFUL BEACH COTTAGE

We had a wonderful stay at The Blarney Stone. The home was gorgeous, close to everything, and provided us with plenty of amenities. Towels were provided (so many of them we didn't even use). Furniture so comfortable and house spotlessly clean. Close to the Pool, Tennis Courts, Fitness Room And Beach. Beach Service a huge plus as our chairs were set out each day really close to the water. So relaxing, we enjoyed every single minute of our stay. WONDERFUL home. We loved it! We will be back!!

Awesome family time. Took my family of 10, and my chihuahua for a week, everything was wonderful. Love the golf cart. When we had an issue with it, the repair person came right away and fixed it. Kitchen is wonderfully stocked, awesome grill, the house is decorated perfectly, and is very roomy, everything is right near you so you don’t have to leave in your to go anywhere, unless you want to.

Wonderful vacation spot

We had a great stay at the Blarney Stone. The home was spacious and clean. Loved the garage to store all of our beach items. We had four kids with us and they had a blast! Beach was a short 5-10 minute walk. Overall the home provided necessities. Sherry was very responsive to our needs, stopping by to bring a new crockpot and light bulbs for us. My only recommendation is to add more hooks in bathrooms for towels and bathing suits.

PERFECT FAMILY VACATION!!!

We had our two families staying at the house, 9 adults, and a small dog. I have to say, I was a little nervous that the house might be too small for 9 adults but, I was wrong. The house was perfect, spacious with an open floor plan. We have created many great memories and plan to come back again. Shore Dream Vacation Rentals management team was great. Ned T.

Would not recommend this property!

Upon arrival we immediately spotted ants all over the kitchen counters and called the property mgr. about this and the Wi-Fi not working. Jeff stopped by with ant traps from Lowe’s and told us to try windex. Neither of these worked so they sent a pest control company over a few days later to find how they were getting in-which was under the stove and left bait. We NEVER did use the kitchen the 6 days we were there due to all the ants! Also there is barely any outdoor space to sit and the few chairs were soaking wet and dirty. The only positive was the use of the golf cart. Would never stay at this property in the future!

Great Home! Bigger than it looks!

We enjoyed our stay in this home. It’s much bigger than it looks on the photos. The kitchen, living and dining area are all one very, large room. We appreciated the very comfortable living room furniture and the décor in this home is colorful, happy and beachy but not overdone. The house is just a quick walk to the private beach, about 7-10 minute stroll (we are not fast walkers). The free, included beach service (2 chairs and an umbrella set up each day on the beach) was a nice bonus, but there were also a beach cart, extra chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, etc in the garage for us to use. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed. But one of the things we most appreciated was the cleanliness of this house. We have stayed in a lot of homes and while most are acceptable, this one was super clean and well cared for. We will for sure be back. We did notice one issue with there—the sprinkler was broken and shooting water but we called Sugar Palm Rentals and it was fixed that day. Thanks for a great stay!
