Our Stay at Mainsail #116 was fantastic!

The property was everything as stated in information; the property is exceptional. The private stairway to the beach was fantastic and easy access to the gorgeous white sand and emerald clear waters! The 3-bedroom condo, living space and kitchen were spotless, fresh, and beautifully attired. It was wonderful to come back to the condo after a lovely day at the beach, or exploring, to clean, fresh, and comfortable surroundings. Having a bathroom in each room was a bonus to comfort and privacy. I would rent this condo again in a heartbeat! Andrew’ is a super host, very responsive, very accommodating, and a pleasure to interact with before and during our stay! Actually, I am talking with my family about coming back in the near future!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! ❤️ It truly means a lot to me to hear that you enjoyed Mainsail 116 and that everything was just as you hoped. I’m especially glad you loved the private steps to the beach—those steps really are one of the best little perks of this condo! 😊 And having a bathroom for each bedroom definitely makes things a little easier when everyone is together. It was an absolute pleasure having you as our guests, and I’m so happy I was able to help make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The fact that you’re already talking about coming back makes me smile! 🥰 We would LOVE to have you and your family back anytime. Thank you again for choosing us and for trusting me with your beach vacation. We truly appreciate you! Andree’ Southern Hospitality Vacation Rentals

We had an amazing week at the condo.

Mainsail was having some demolition done before our stay. Andree was wonderful keeping us updated with the progress on the parking lot. It was completed by the time we arrived. The condo was perfect and had everything we needed. The balcony on the back had easy access to the beach and the pool. It made the week more enjoyable with two small grandchildren. No roads to cross. It is convenient to shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it. Our family has been coming to Destin for 30 years and we have stayed at many condos in the area. Andree is great to work with and responds quickly to any questions.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul 2026
Thank you so much, Susan! We’re really happy to hear you had an amazing week and that the condo worked so well for your family—especially with the easy beach and pool access for your grandchildren. We also truly appreciate your kind words about communication. We always try to treat our guests the way we would want to be treated, so keeping everyone informed about the HOA construction and updates is a big priority for us. We’re so glad everything was completed before your arrival and that you were able to just relax and enjoy your stay. It means a lot that, after 30 years of visiting Destin, you’d highly recommend us. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime! 🌊😊

A+++++

Second time staying in this Condo and we love it. 6 adults and 2 children! The beach access is easy and the unit is equipped with a huge ice maker and we all know how important that is! The unit is clean and WELL stocked! We have pretty much decided to book this one each year as long as it’s available! Andree is so helpful and a great host! Before check in and upon arrival, we had been told the washer was not working properly. The next morning, there was a new washer being installed. There should be zero hesitation to rent this unit! So thankful for hosts like this for making vacation so effortless! 1000% would recommend!
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul 2026
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We absolutely loved hosting your family again—6 adults, 2 kids, and a serious appreciation for that “very important” ice maker 😄 We really appreciate your patience with the washer situation. I wish we’d had the chance to meet you while you were there, but we were doing a little field trip to Lowe’s with our "fingers crossed" and—believe it or not—they actually came through with a next-day delivery. Yahoo! That’s not always how it goes, so we were very relieved to get it turned around so quickly. Most importantly, we’re thrilled everything else made your stay easy and enjoyable. It means so much that you’re planning to return year after year. We’ll be ready for you whenever you come back! 🌊😊

Thanks April for your review and happy to hear you enjoyed your rental experience with us. The location of this condo is one of the best in Miramar Beach. Outside of this gated community is the outlet mall, grocery and many different places to enjoy a great meal. Now.. the best thing about this location is..... OPENING up your glass doors and walking down from your PRIVATE balcony to the beach! Thanks again for choosing one of our beach condos. Andree'

Wonderful stay!

In over 20 years of staying at Mainsail, this is one of the best units that we've had! Everything was clean, and the location with the walk-up was convenient with young kids and my mom. We especially appreciated the beach gear, and the communication with Andree was great. Couldn't have asked for anything more, and we hope to stay here again!

Great Beach Vacation at Mainsail 116

Another wonderful beach experience at Destin's Mainsail Condominium 116. This was our second stay at this unit and the accomodations were once again excellent. We loved the closeness to the beach, the views, the little extras like the Keurig and a 25 pound ice machine. Thank you Andree and Southern Hospitality, you are the best and we will come back!
