Why Owner/Property Manager chose Scenic Gulf Drive East
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.
What makes this condo unique
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~!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Our 12th year at Mainsail - our 2nd year at Pope's Paradise. Definately our favorite condo - our kids were 6 & 9 and now one is graduating college and one is going to college...They say they want to come back until they get married and have kids. Maybe at that point it will be their turn to pay the rent ...I hope so...I'm old and poor. This is a wonderful vacation, and I hope we have many more. The weather and food are great - We have relatives & friends come in from Philly and Ft Worth - Both families staying at The Mainsail, 17 in all this year. What a day. Going to the beach now...

Beautiful Beach Condo!
We had a great time on our vacation at Mainsail. The condo is centrally located and sits right on the beach. The unit is immaculate and furnished with all the comforts of home. I can not say enough good things about this trip. I did not want to leave. Thank you for allowing my family to stay at your home.
Awesome!
This is the second time that we have stayed at Pope's Paradise and we hope to return again and again. It's so close to the beach with great views from the balcony and master bedroom. Lona has equipped this condo with everything you need. And it's very comfortable.
Excellent location right in front of the beach
Stayed at Mainsail with wife and two kids and we really enjoyed the unit and the easy walk to the beach. Location is excellent, across the street from the outlet malls and away from the very busy downtown area. Will come back next year for sure
Perfect Paradise!
This is our second time to stay at Mainsail, and first to stay at Lona's & Richard's home. By far this has been our best experience ever! (We have traveled and stayed many times and at many places.) This beautiful home is very accomodating, relaxing, clean, and has up to date, modern kitchen and baths. The view is incredible! Necessities were already abundantly supplied which was remarkable and generous! Lona and Richard made everything so inviting and welcoming. We will definitely be planning our next summer's vacation with them as we were more than pleased!
We love that Mainsail is so close to perfect shopping opportunites, grocery needs, etc., yet is in a quiet and gated safe, fun, family-time retreat. So many things to do and just a short drive to dining out and activites.
Great place to stay!
My family of 5 (3 children ages 14,11,8) stayed here earlier this month. We had a fantastic time! Views are incredible, beach is gorgeous and condo is Great! We were so impressed with how well the condo was stocked with supplies, I can't think of anything we needed that was missing. Lona was very easy to work with and answered any questions very quickly. Will definitely stay again.
Awesome all around!
We just returned from one week at Pope's Paradise! We truly loved our stay. Great location on the beach, close to many golf courses and many other things to do. Truly relaxing! Loved the beach views. I can't say enough about the amenities! Loved that we didn't need a key and condo was fully stocked with all the basics to make our stay easy. Thank you Lona and Richard for making your home away from home so inviting. We hope to come back again soon. You won't be disappointed when you plan your vacation here.
