Mainsail 361: 6th Floor 2BR 2BA. Great views, location and price for the beach.

We are Beth and Jerry Creel from Trussville, AL. We are now listing on VRBO (2021) because I retired in November 2020. I am a retired engineer/project manager, and my wife is a retired schoolteacher. We have two married daughters and two grandsons. We use the condo ourselves in the spring (outside of spring break) and fall (when not using our season tickets to University of Alabama football home games). We like to welcome snowbirds for January and February, and also rent our unit during spring break and "high season". But are at Mainsail 70-80 days a year and that may increase since we are now both retired and a lot of our retired friends live or have properties in the area. Mainsail 361 is truly our vacation home and not just an investment in rental property. Our youngest daughter was married on the beach here in August of 2020. Beth enjoys the outlet mall shopping; I enjoy fishing and bicycle riding; and we both enjoy sitting on the beach and dinners out in great local restaurants.

We rented at Mainsail every year since 1994/1995 before becoming owners in 2014. We have always loved Mainsail because it's in a great location near all the thing we need, has a wonderful beach with all the amenities, and is more family oriented than some other properties. Our unit, Mainsail 361 (Building 3, Floor 6, Unit 1) is an easy walk to the beach. Located on the 6th floor, it offers a great view of the coastline toward the east and the gulf view is only partially obstructed (see the photos). The balcony gets morning sun and afternoon shade. As an end unit. the bedrooms do not share a wall with other units so it's quiet. The main swimming pool area is directly below our entry (quite after 10 p.m.). The furnishings are somewhat upscale but durable including new flat screen TVs, new Cindy Crawford sofa and love seat in the living room and sports a beachy color scheme.

Mainsail is a gated community with 24/7 security. Mainsail has security cameras at various locations on the property including coverage of the pool and hot tub area (video access is limited to Mainsail Management and Courtesy Patrol). Starbucks and the factory outlets at Silver Sands are just across highway 98. CVS drug store, Winn Dixie grocery store, and Chic-fila are walking distance from Mainsail. Many local and chain restaurants are close by as well.
