Our thanks to you for sharing your beautiful cottage. We had a family vacation in which our kids and grandkids all stayed in the cottages at Mainsail. The convenience of pulling into a covered carport and unloading right directly into the cottage was well worth it for us. We were amazed at the size of the cottage and how well furnished it was. The kitchen had everything we could possibly have needed and more. Being able to step right out to the pool area was awesome. Access to the beach was easy. We enjoyed many of the fine restaurants in the area and the convenience of the shopping. We felt very safe and secure in the gated community. We hope to make this our family vacation fun spot in the future.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Part of my family joined me for a week in your lovely home, well-equipped kitchen, large enough living room for us to be together in and a dining area flooded with sunlight and again comfortable for all of us. Convenient, most certainly so, to the pool, beach, tennis courts and open field. The owner was on top of all the arrangements, our arrival and questions. It was a dream trip for us and the comfortable home was at the center of our contentment.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful cottage. Your home is beautiful - clean, neat & comfortable. The pool was very enjoyable & convenient right outside our door. We grilled out several nights & relaxed by the poolside in the evenings. We enjoyed the beach being so close to our cottage. The beach is absolutely beautiful! We walked the beach in the mornings & evenings. BEAUTIFUL!! The cottage is very convenient to a shopping outlet mall & grocery. There are nice restaurants close by. We hope to come back next year and look forward to another "girls getaway" at your beautiful home. We highly recommend your home for a nice, relaxing vacation. Thanks again for the use of your home.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We had a wonderful stay in Destin at your home. It was so clean and inviting that it was easy to feel like we were at home. It was such a relaxing vacation for some old college friends and now with children to visit and get back in touch. With just a few minutes walk to the beach and with one of the pools just ourside our back door, there was always something closeby to do. Your home is beautiful and we thank you very much for letting us stay! We hope to make this an annual tradition! Thanks again! Jennifer, Overland Park, KSDid you find this review helpful?

Year Purchased: 1996
About the owner: The Arauz Family: Parents- Rafael & Pat Children: Tony & Tricia Family picture taken at Tony's wedding in October, 2006
Why the Owner Chose Mainsail:
Tony started going to Destin with friends every Spring Break in 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 buy 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 kitchens I hate to cook in them.
