Why the Owner Chose Mainsail

Tony started going to Destin with friends every Spring Break since 6th grade. We started going a couple years later when Tricia was ready for a Spring Break in Destin. We loved Destin so much, we went back for vacation every summer. We stayed at Beach House, SeaScape, Surfside, and Edgewater, before staying in a Mainsail townhouse. Mainsail was by far our favorite resort community. Everyone was so friendly and the resort is very family oriented. One of the Mainsail cottages was for sale and we went to see it. We decided since we loved Destin so much we might as well by a place and rent it out until we are ready to reitre. It was agreat decision! We love our home and we have been lucky enough to find wonderful families to rent our home and take great care of it for us.

The Unique Benefits at this House

What we love most about our Mainsail cottage is we have a home to ourselves with a carport and yard. We don't have to find a cart and wait for an elevator to carry in our luggage or groceries. With a home, we have enough room for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded. I love the large kitchen. Most condos have such small kitchen I hate to cook.

    • The time we spent in your cottage was wonderful. It was very well equipped & offered much comfort for our large family. The cottage was beautiful, even more than we expected. The close walk to the beach was also very nice since we had little ones traveling with us. We absolutely recommend this as the "place to be". It was a home away from home for us. We look forward to coming back soon.

    • We stayed in the cottage for a week on vacation and loved it, short walk to the beach, heated pool behind the cottage and great location to stay out of the traffic. The cottage was clean and well kept along with the grounds. We plan on coming back and stay in this cottage!

    • We stayed in your cottage during our Spring Break. It was wonderfully well-equipped. Our son had a friend with him, and we travelled with friends staying in a townhouse unit just a few doors away. Because of the fully-equiooed kitchen and nearby grills, we were able to host dinner every night that we did not eat out. It was like being in a home away from home. The Parnells.

    • We have spent a week in the cottage the last two summers and really loved it! We had everything right at our fingertips and the cottage is the perfect size with room to spare for our family of four. Our kids have really enjoyed the beach, gameroom and swimming pools on the grounds. They have chosen to return to Destin for our 2007 vacation. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Pat's personal attention is really great as opposed to working with a large company. Kevin, Laura, Emily and Ian Flower Mound, TX

    • We found the cottage to be very relaxing and comfortable for our family of five. Everyone slept great, and there was plenty of space to move around without climbing all over each other (like you might do in a hotel room!). Pat was friendly and seemed truly interested in our family's vacation; we loved the pool and our 12 year old loved the gameroom. We would definitely use this resort and cottage again, especially after comparing rates of other resorts on the beach.

    • We had a wonderful time in Destin. A very clean, comfortable condo. Close to the beach, a warm pool, great restaurants, and great shopping. I noticed some other condos in the area's pools were still not opened because of the hurricane. We were very blessed.

    • We stayed here for a week in April, 2005, and enjoyed everything about it. Great for extended families, as brought grandparents, parents and kids (7 of us in all). There was plenty of room, and plenty to do. Pat was great to work with, and the property is in great shape. The beach is an easy walk, and the pool is just outside the back door. Traffic was not bad in April, but it might take some time to get to the touristy parts of Destin during peak months. Highly recommended.

    • We spent my daughter's 10th birthday in this cottage and were delighted that it had all the comforts of home combined with all the vacation extras you could hope for: easy access to the beach, a regular pool, a heated pool, and a hot tub PLUS a jacuzzi in the cottage! It was a rare birthday treat for my daughter to be able to enjoy a pool and outdoor hot tub in November! The kitchen, larger than mine at home, was so well equipped that you could easily save some money on eating out and cook meals at the cottage. We loved it and can't wait to go back!

We hope you enjoy your stay and invite you to put a comment in our guest book.
