If you’re spending Easter in Destin, Florida, get ready — this year is bursting with egg hunts, harbor fun, adorable dachshunds, and even wine tastings for the grown-ups. Whether you’re staying in one of our Destin condos on the beach or planning a last-minute spring getaway, there’s something for every bunny. 🐰
Here’s your full guide to Easter weekend along the Emerald Coast:
🏖️ Private Beach Easter Egg Hunt
We are kicking off Easter morning the sweetest way possible — with a beachfront Easter egg hunt at 8:30 AM!
📍 Location: The beach in front of Maravilla Miramar Beach
🎉 Who’s invited?
Any guests staying at:
- Maravilla Miramar Beach
- Crystal View Miramar Beach
- Beach Retreat Destin FL
- Beach Resort
If you’re in one of these properties, you’re welcome to join the fun!
Picture little footprints in the sand, colorful eggs tucked near the dunes, and the Gulf sparkling in the background. It’s one of our favorite traditions — and just one more reason families love staying in our Miramar Beach vacation rentals and Destin beach condos.
And of course, if you’re enjoying one of our pet friendly condos in Destin Florida, your pup is welcome to supervise from the sidelines (let’s be honest… they’d win the hunt if we let them 🐶).
We can’t wait to celebrate Easter morning with you on the beach!
