Mainsail 286 - Updated Gulf Front Condo, Heated Community Pool, Hot Tub, Tennis!
Mainsail 286 -
Your perfect beach vacation is about to begin! Mainsail 286 is a top-floor, gulf-front Miramar Beach vacation rental that offers a necessary break from everyday life. This nautically-inspired condo is sunny, spacious, and welcoming. It offers incredible views of the iconic Destin beaches and is less than a one-minute walk from the shore. This two-bedroom, two-bath vacation condo can comfortably accommodate up to six beach-loving guests.
The main living area of Mainsail 286 boasts tall vaulted ceilings and coastal vibes, featuring vibrant blues, white accents, and natural wood furnishings. A floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door and large window offer unparalleled views of the glittering coast and balcony access. An entire mirrored wall not only adds to the room’s spaciousness but also reflects the tremendous views, bringing the beach indoors with you. The living room includes a blue couch, matching loveseat, and plush accent pillows. A patterned rug and white drink table are placed in the center. The setup faces a flatscreen TV mounted above a wood console table. A casual dining table with four cushioned stools sits beside the window and sliding glass door. Additional dining space is located on the other side of the living area. The condo’s kitchen is open and bright, featuring sleek countertops, a bar with cushioned chairs, stainless steel appliances, white custom cabinetry, a gray-and-white tiled backsplash, and coastal décor.
Like the living area, the condo’s bedrooms are spacious, bright, and comfortable. The master suite features a king-size bed, a flatscreen TV, and access to the gulf-front balcony. It also has a private, en-suite bath with a white vanity and tub/shower combo. The guest suite gives off a laidback beach cottage vibe with a queen-size bed, honey-toned furnishings, a sunny window, and a TV. The guest room has access to a full hall bath that serves as a convenient powder room.
In addition to wonderful vacation accommodations, Mainsail guests have access to fantastic resort amenities. These include two incredible swimming pools within a tropical setting. The larger pool is located on the beachside of the complex, surrounded by a large sundeck. It includes both a hot tub and a small wading pool for children. The other pool is on the north side and has a BBQ grilling station for guest use. Other amenities include a video arcade room, onsite fitness center, four tennis courts, shuffleboard, a basketball court, and a kid’s playground. Mainsail is conveniently located in Miramar Beach near an abundance of amusements, such as the Village of Baytowne Wharf and Silver Sands Premium Outlets. This way, when you’re not lounging at the beach or relaxing in your condo, you still have plenty of things to do to fill your vacation!

Overall the condo was great with location to the beach and the view was amazing. Condo is updated mostly and clean, but the rug needs to be cleaned or a new one and the counter and table stools need to cleaned, with the light fabric they are stained. The close proximity to the beach is great and the beach chair service is great also. We enjoyed out stay!

Our stay was good. We did arrive to a leaky roof when we arrived but it was quickly fixed.
Love Mainsail because it is in a great location and easy beach access with free beach chair set up.

Thank you so much for an awesome stat, it was the perfect location. Quick walk to the elevator and you are right on the boardwalk to the beach! The only note to owner- the door lock is missing a screw, kind of hard to open and close the front door as it jams.

Love the location and the ocean views. The beach chairs were a great bonus. The condo itself needs some upgrades. This was our second time in this condo.

We left Illinois for just a few days to enjoy the Sunshine State. This property was perfect with an ocean view, pool and beach access, and other amenities nearby. The pool was not heated and too cold to swim in.

Will stay again. Awesome views from balcony. Lovely kitchen with regular coffee pot and Keurig. Chair service—AMAZING. Plenty of bathroom towels. Washer and dryer. Guest bath has door to hallway and second bedroom. Hairdryer available in bathroom. Bring your own extra kitchen trash bags and toilet paper (pretty standard at Mainsail). We have stayed in 3 different units at Mainsail and this is our favorite so far.

We’ve stayed at mainsail 4 times now. Each in a different unit. This was the cleanest and most updated one we’ve stayed at to date. Good communication with property management and no surprises. Only downside on this property is you do not get a sunrise or sunset view from the room. But otherwise great gulf views.

Unit is aged and needs to be updated. I feel as though I did not get the value I paid for in the room. They were broken blinds in the room, there was no hairdryer as described in the listing. There were stains on the countertops of the master bathroom. The Jacuzzi tub is old and needs to be replaced. Overall unhappy with the unit.

Easy checkin. Nice kitchen. Patio doors are neither wind nor water proof. The plastic vertical blinds are missing slats and they are loud as the wind pours through the patio doors and rattles them all night. As we sat through a bad storm the wind buckled the door and wind and water came through. Get some new doors and some curtains already!

We appreciate you making us aware of these items, and we're glad to hear that you are pleased with our service. Our operations team will work diligently to have all matters resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for being our guest.
The property location was perfect for us. The beach is beautiful and clean. Just a quick walk down the ramps and you're on the beach. No stairs! Great when you have a wagon. Having chairs and umbrellas included made going to the beach a breeze. Close to restaurants and outlet shopping within walking distance, which was great for our teenagers when they wanted a break from the beach. The view from the condo was great, spent a lot of time out on the deck. Condo was clean and the furniture was as represented in the photo (meaning not an old picture of new furniture that is now worn out). The updates that were done were very nice. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We really have no complaints other than we wished it had a regular table and chairs with backs, the high-top table and stools were not convenient to sit and play games or cards.

Just a Good Property
Renting from Ocean Reef was a great experience. They made everything easy with their communication and policies and also their guest portal.
The property was just OK. The kitchen, living room, and bedrooms were nice, you could tell they were remodeled recently. The bathrooms were old and dirty. The tub in the master was dirty, and not because it was not cleaned, it was just old and dirty. The floors were also dirty from just being old. The guest bathroom was the same. The bathrooms definitely need an update.
Also, there was a mat in front of the kitchen sink that was dirty when we arrived.
The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you needed, so that was nice.
The entire property was just older and needed some updates. The chairs at the pool were old and dirty.
The workout room was OK…the carpet was kind of old and dirty, and needed some more ventilation, but the equipment was good.
It was really great to have beach chairs and an umbrella at the beach. That was a nice feature!
It was good for the price I paid if you don’t mind a little bit of an older property.

Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for your displeasure with the unit. We will be sure to notify our Housekeeping dept. about the items that are able to be cleaned. Unfortunately the amenities outside if the unit are controlled by the HOA but we will be sure to notify them of your findings as well. Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts. We hope that your travels bring you back soon.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We have zero complaints! The location was perfect; just a few steps away from the beach and several restaurants and stores near by! We are looking forward to booking our stay again in the near future!
