About Patricia Arauz

Parents- Rafael & Pat
Children: Tony & Tricia
Family picture taken at Tony's wedding in October, 2006
Patricia Arauz purchased this house in 1996
Why Patricia Arauz chose Emerald Coast-Destin Area
Tony started going to Destin with friends every Spring Break in 1989. We started going a couple years later when Tricia was ready for a Spring Break in Destin. We loved Destin so much, we went back for vacation every summer. We stayed at Beach House, SeaScape, Surfside, and Edgewater, before staying in a Mainsail townhouse. Mainsail was by far our favorite resort community. Everyone was so friendly and the resort is very family oriented. One of the Mainsail cottages was for sale and we went to see it. We decided since we loved Destin so much we might as well buy a place and rent it out until we are ready to retire. It was a great decision! We love our home and we have been lucky enough to find wonderful families to rent our home and take great care of it for us.
What makes this house unique
What we love most about our Mainsail cottage is we have a home to ourselves with a carport and yard. We don't have to find a cart and wait for an elevator to carry in our luggage or groceries. With a home, we have enough room for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded. I love the large kitchen. Most condos have such small kitchens I hate to cook in them.
Guestbook comments from the owner
My family of five (three college young adults) had a wonderful time staying at your cottage. It was perfect for us! Our three college students loved being so close to the pool, almost in the backyard. You would have thought they were in elementary school again, playing all sorts of games in the pool. It was also a wonderful time for the kids, my husband and myself to reconnect. The weather was absolutely perfect, knowing we had nothing to do about that but nonetheless perfect still. Your home was just as it was advertised. Thanks for checking on us to make sure we didn't need anything two days into our stay. We've stayed at Destin many times but this was the first for us renting a cottage. We will never rent a condo again, for the cottage provided wonderful privacy with all the amenities of renting a condo. The beach was just a small "stroll" away. We are already talking about when we will return again.

Sunshine & Sand
Another wonderful year at this nice cottage. The amenities are fabulous at this cottage; not to speak of the new TVs. The owners are very courteous of returning your emails and taking care of their home. The pools are a great asset for the children. Close by shopping and you feel safe in this gated community. I would recommend this for anyone for an enjoyable vacation.
The cottage is beautiful and very spacious. Kid friendly. Access to the resort's pool and hot tub.
We had plenty of gorgeous weather during our stay. Beach was a short walk. The water was clear and beautiful. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!
Perfect for our family
This cottage was perfect for our family. Quite, short walk to the beach, and the pool was out our back door. The cottage had every thing we needed to cook lunch or supper. Plus if we wanted to go out to eat we had plenty of options. This is our 2nd time using this cottage and we will use it again next year and we have already recommend it to several friends.
Vacation Paradise
We have stayed for two weeks this year in this home away from home. It has the feel of home and provides all the amenities that we could have asked for. The umbrella set up that comes with the rental is a great asset to have at the beach. Whether it be the beach or the pools the kids enjoy both. The owners are very courteous at returning you emails in a prompt time. Taking advantage of the nearby restaurants or the grills by the pools our family was able to spend quality time dining together. I would highly recommend this home to anyone not just those with a family but anyone who desired to stay at a wonderful location.
very relaxing vacation
we've been to the area many times, staying somewhere new each time. I would stay here a second time. the home was a perfect place to relax, short walk to the beach and right next to the "quiet" pool. Very calm and quiet at night made for some solid sleep. a short distance from Sandestin and little longer ride to Jimmy buffets margaritaville. so, great location as well. Any questions I've had firPatricia were almost immediately answered. there were no surprises when we checked in. This was really a great, relaxing vacation for my family. we will surely do this again.
Cottage
We have stayed in thus cottage sooo many times. And each time we fall in love with it all over. Everything is clean and awaiting our arrival. Shopping is close, great restaurants everywhere and those chairs on the beach! I always hate to leave those chairs on the beach. Working with the owner is simple and quick.
This trip I brought along two teenagers, and mother and mother in law. The heated pool is right out the back door, and a great place to wind down the night. This was especially great for my mother and mother in law. Not far to walk, water is warm. We enjoyed the use of the grill, and made some surf and turf. Also having teenagers makes for a laundry nightmare, but the washer and dryer made that a snap.
We will definitely be back. We are already looking at the calendar for next years trip.
If you are looking for a great house, all the amenities in a quiet neighborhood, with tons of shops and restaurants - look for further. This cottage is your destination away from home.
