Mainsail Cottage 36

Rick and Shari have a beautiful home! It was perfect for our family vacation. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool we used was an extremely short walk. The walk to the beach is about a 3 minute walk. I highly recommend staying at this property!

Great time!

We loved our stay on this property! Easy access to the beach and a pool basically in the “backyard”. The paved path to the beach was short enough for our preschoolers to walk and the umbrella and chairs provided were a huge bonus. We could easily drive to Destin and 30A for additional entertainment. Will be back!

Best vacation venue in Florida!!

This place was AWESOME!! It is the best we have stayed in in over 25 years of vacationing in the Florida area!! The cottage was beautifully decorated, very clean and supplied everything we needed to stay comfortably. The large outdoor patio was great to relax on or serve a meal and the pool and the beach are not far from the there. It did rain one day we were there and we found shopping, movie theater and other great activities to be very close by. Again Thank you very much for providing us such an AWESOME place to vacation. We will be back!!

Great week for 2 families!

Home was well stocked including beach towels and toyS and the kitchen. The property manager was very helpful. The only negative is we were not able to adjust the thermostat and it was too warm for our liking. Otherwise, it was perfect! We will be back!!!

Good location, adequate property

This cottage is situated in a very crowded vacation area but only a 4-5 minute walk to the beach. The house is comfortable with a layout conducive to family gatherings. The "bedroom" with a bed and a trundle bed worked for our two kids, but I'm surprised the owner is able to call this a 4th bedroom as it is essentially a large closet without windows. The master bedroom/bath is very nice. A few areas for improvement--there was no hair dryer on the premises, which seemed like an oversight. Toilet paper and paper towels were not stocked for 8 people. The pillow shams and coverlets/quilts are not washed between stays. There are detailed instructions on all the cleaning the renters must do before the professional cleaning crew comes in--including washing and drying beach towels ("Make sure you wash them on Friday so they're dry on Saturday"), running the dishwasher ("if they won't all fit in one load, start them on Friday"), sweeping and vaccuming the entire premises, wiping down all counters and the refrigerator. We would expect to pick up after ourselves but were a bit put off with all the chores listed. Also, it doesn't seem like there was so much left for the cleaning crew that check out is 10 AM but check in is not possible until 4 PM. The pools on the property are nice, and there is one just outside the patio doors. However, the closer one closed in the late afternoons/early evenings in a way that was not explained by staff and seemed very arbitrary. (We finally found out that there was a problem with the pool light.) The problem here was communication of property staff not giving reasons for kicking us out. We could not get the gas grills near the pools to ignite. Overall, we enjoyed the area, but would probably look for a comparable property if we return.

Really Perfect In Many Ways

A beautiful, comfortable property that was well designed, decorated, and accommodating for our family. Loved the decor, appliances and the kitchen with every needed tool, dish and pan. Best of all our beach stays anywhere regarding our needs. Upstairs 3 rooms for our daughter, husband, and 3 little ones. Wonderful Master Suite off the patio for us Grandparents, who were happy with no stairs to negotiate. The upstairs crew loved their separate space for naps and bedtime. Walk to the Gulf beach, return for pool time steps from the cottage, lunch on the patio or pool’s tables, then naps for the children. Close to many things.

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Shari Hansen

Host profile image
We are retired military, currently residing in Kansas, and purchased our cottage in 2015. Our son was stationed at Hurlburt Field at the time, plus we had visited the area many times due to friends having places at Mainsail, and fell in love with the complex and its beautiful beach. We have many wonderful memories of our time in Destin and look forward to many more!
