Great location, great view. Condo was clean and well kept. Good beds. Laundry was helpful. No beach chairs with this unit (but that is clearly stated… so we weren’t surprised). 3 different coffee makers! Mainsail is a great complex and will always choose to stay here! Property managers were in great communication and everything was good.

Clean property with an ideal location to the beach. Choosing this unit is all about location and ease of beach access. This is now our 15th time to Main Sail, and this unit was in one of the better locations on the property. We like this property for its beach access and location to other Destin area attractions. We traveled down with tennis rackets to find the courts closed for repair. That would have been good information to know before flying down. Wasn’t worth complaining about. I’m sure the new courts will be nice for future guests. About the unit, it has a weird master bath remodel with no shower door. It made for cold showers and no privacy. Appliances are on their last leg. Microwave has some critical malfunction. Living room TV only got one channel. Master bedroom TV really no better. …. But we didn’t travel to the beach to watch TV, so wasn’t that big of a bother. The unit alone has seen some heavy renting and use and could use an update to furniture and appliances….and adding a shower door. That however didn’t detour our enjoyment for the week. We’d stay here again if the unit were updated. Real Joy vacation rentals made for ease of check in process, friendly staff, and were a good professional group to book through.

We’ll pass your feedback to our maintenance team and the owner so those items can be addressed for future guests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check in and check out was easy. Our room was nice and exactly what was expected. The beach access was perfect! The hot water ran out quick, but that wasn’t a big deal to us. We had to extend our stay for one day because of car trouble.

This property was everything we needed. We stay in this area every year but this property is one of my faves. The layout of the condo, the second entrance from the deck was PERFECT especially if you have kids and anything needed for the beach. It was clean for what I expect for a condo so close to the water and the check in was super easy. The property team sent updates and notices before and throughout the stay so I didn’t have to worry about anything. Plus their guest portal was a life saver as I locked my phone in the condo twice so access to the code was a blessing. Plus the neighborhood was quiet and very kid friendly. No loud parties or disrespectful groups. Overall, great stay and would definitely recommend for others.

Loved the location and the facility. The steps going off the balcony to go down to the beach were perfect, no waiting for the elevator! Only problem I ran into was umbrella and chairs did not come with the unit. That was an additional $200.00 onto our stay. That could be my mistake. I looked at so many different locations that did offer that extra.

One of the best condos at Mainsail when it comes to location. We’ve stayed in 13 different condos over the past 20 years at Mainsail. The only thing I suggest for this condo is more hand towels(there was one) and more hooks to hang certain thinks on. For instance, my parent’s condo has a wall hanging by the door with hooks for jackets.

Few recommendations just for future stay. Have some Tupperware available for kitchen for our left overs. A few of the bathroom fixtures master bath need to be secured to wall better and water pressure in master bath improved. Maybe have some beach towels available if beach chair service is not part of rental. Overall we loved the location and beach life.

Very much enjoyed our 4 day weekend at this beautiful property. The condo had everything we needed and check in/out was a breeze. The real highlight was the beach, though - this unit has its own set of stairs off the back patio (which had an amazing view) down to the boardwalk. Once on the beach, there were chairs and umbrellas set up for guests of the complex on a first come/first serve basis. The water is incredible, only a few feet deep for at least 100 feet from the shore, warm and crystal clear. We alternated between lounging on the chairs in the sand and floating in the ocean for hours on end. Truly paradise. The unit is also close to the grocery store and a few restaurants, and the beach is very walkable. Our only minor complaints were that the pull out bed appeared to have not been cleaned, the lock on the living room sliding door was broken (they had a wooden beam you could put down on the track instead), and we could not find a key for the bedroom sliding door. So the private steps were a bit useless since we could not lock up going that way. Overall though, we are definitely looking to stay here again!
