Why the Owner Chose Mainsail
After visiting Destin and Mainsail for many years with friends, it was time to look around to purchase our own paradise. Looking around and realizing there was not a better place that was smaller complex, secure and well managed not to mention the best beach in town took us back to Mainsail. Conveniently located to everything Mainsail has truly become "Popes Paradise" for us, our many returning guests and our kids and grandkids.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
It has been mentioned more times that not how well appointed our condo is, from spices to paper products and more... it is truly a home away from home. NO need to pack all the extras when staying at Popes Paradise you will feel like you have come home~!

We have stayed at this condo for a few years in a row and have never been disappointed. The owners have gone out of their way to keep this condo updated. Each year I'm amazed at all the little extras they provide. My favorite part is the cleanliness of the condo upon arrival. Each year we travel with 5 other families and their condos never match ours for cleanliness and amenities. It's a beautiful place to stay on your vacation!

We stayed at Pope's Paradise for our family's vacation and we were very pleased with the entire experience. Lona went out of her way to ensure our family was ready for our vacation. The condo is lovely and we could not have been more pleased with everything. Thank you so much!

My family stayed in this unit July 22 -29, 2006, and the pictures on the site do not do it justice! The condo is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The gated community was safe and secure; the security officers patrolled regularly. The new pool was fabulous! We will stay in this unit as long as it is available!

Just returned from one of the best weeks in Destin we have ever had! The condo was the 2nd that we have rented in The Mainsail, but by far the most well supplied. There were games, movies,beach towels and so much more. We went the week after Hurricane Charley and the water was beautiful to go along with the weather. Our view from the balcony was great for watching the sunset and dolphins! Thanks for the use of the beach service, too. I can't think of anything we could have added. The 4 of us were very comfortable. All amenities were great including the High speed internet access at the Mainsail. We would highly reccomend Pope's Paradise to anyone wanting a carefree vacation spot!

Our family had a wonderful time at Pope's Paradise. The condo is well stocked with all of the necessities and then some! Great location and very close walk to the beach which is perfect if you have children. We loved sitting on the private balcony every morning and at sunset. Thanks for sharing your condo with us. We would recommend this condo to anyone!!!

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!! We could not have asked for a better place to stay at. I am very picky and have a hard time sleeping away from home. Well, you would have thought that I was at home because I slept so well and felt so comfortable during our stay. I can't thank you enough for providing such a pleasant, comfortable environment for your renters. This was our first visit to Destin. We have a place in Hilton Head and have been going there for about 16 years. We do love Hilton Head but as our children have gotten older we have found that they are getting a little bored with just going to the beach and riding bikes. We are so glad that we decided to go to Destin. Our children are still talking about their trip and how much fun they had. It was nice that there were places where they could go to dance and just have fun with their peers. One topic which truly amazed them was the sand! In Hilton Head it is brown and very hot to walk on. In Destin in was powder white and cool to warm, making walking in the sand without shoes so much fun! We definitely want to visit Destin again and would without question want to stay at Popes Paradise!
