Great Vacation Spot

We really enjoyed our stay at Dave's condo. It is a great location to the beach and restaurants. We had a few hiccups during our stay but nothing that would cause me to give a bad review. Dave was easy to reach and quick to reply.

Relaxed enjoyed every minute. Close to the beach, shopping, tourist spots. Beautiful accommodations and you can see the beach every morning from the deck! We arrived at night and it was a little hard to find but a perfect location. Would love to go again!

Perfect Visit

My wife and I have been staying at Mainsail properties for 10+ years. We love the entire complex and this stay was no different. The condo was exactly as described. We didn't use the 2nd "kids" bedroom but the king size bed in the master was extremely comfortable. Everything was clean and the condo provided all the essentials needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The host was very responsive to any questions we had.

Awesome place, awesome location!

This place was perfect for our group with room to spare. The layout gave us plenty of space with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, kitchen, dining room, living room, closets, pantry and 2 balconies. The location is basically on the beach, you just need to walk through the courtyard and you can see a bit of the beach from 1 of the balconies. Location has a guard shack which helps in keeping out the riff-raff and is within walking distance to a grocery store, liquor store, Alvin’s, the outlets and some restaurants. Beach was awesome and chairs and an umbrella were a real bonus. We are looking forward to returning to this place!

Family Fun

The location and property were great. We had a few hiccups prior to checking in and at check-in. The description of the property says it includes beach service, however, the day before our arrival we were informed that beach service was no longer included. Beach service was an extra $50-$60 a day. The code that we were given to the property did not work when we arrived, so I had to contact the owner to receive a new code. Other than those two things, we had a great stay, the kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and overall, the property was perfect for what we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Another wonderful trip!

This was our second visit to Destin and we returned to the same location because it perfectly accommodates our family of 5. Very clean, family friendly environment, private beach access with chairs and umbrella provided, and in close proximity to popular restaurants and shopping areas. We hope to return next year to what now feels like our home away from home!

Great location, had everything we needed

This condo was beautifully decorated and well equipped. The views of the ocean in the morning are fantastic, and the resort itself had everything one could need. The proximity to the grocery, convenience store, alvin's island, and the outlets were a nice convenience.

Destin Getaway

This property was very nice, on par with some of the other units we have rented at Mainsail. The condo was very affordable and had all of the amenities we needed - we enjoy cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. Having beach service available was a huge plus! This was definitely a condo we would rent again.

Excellent Stay at Mainsail

This was a great property for myself, husband and two college age kids. This was an end unit that offered an extra balcony that was very large. The ocean view from our balcony was great! Plenty of towels, and kitchen needs available. Owner had excellent communication. Will definitely be back!

Clean, very roomy and great location

Condo was a great size and very clean. We loved having 2 balconies one to see the beach and other to view tennis courts and surrounding area. Great communication and easy check in and out. We would definitely stay here again. Only frustration which has nothing to do with this condo but Mainsail resort in general is good luck getting up front beach chairs. We got up every morning before 8am when they put the chairs out and most if not all the good spots (up front able to watch your kids in ocean and not behind someone) are reserved or you sit in an u shape where other people are within arms length. Wish it was a first come first serve basis.

Somewhat disappointed

Twin beds in second bedroom had mattresses from hell. They need to be replaced with something someone can actually sleep on. The listing photo represented it to be directly on the beach - which it was not. There was a sliver of a view of the beach from the living room.

Slice of paradise

My family has come to Destin every year for the past 16 years. This was the first year my husband and I got our own place. This condo was PERFECT for us! Very clean and way bigger than we expected. Dave is an awesome owner to deal with as well. He kept me updated about everything along the way. This is our little slice of paradise and we will definitely be returning next year and hopefully the years to come!

This is our 2nd stay here and we LOVE it! DC Condo is perfect for our family. Easy to get on/off the beach, close to any shopping you want/need, and lots of restaurants. We picked this place because of the “teen” room we will definitely be staying here till our teens start bringing +1’s
