Offered exclusively by Ocean Reef Real Estate Sales—and already a proven performer on the Ocean Reef Resorts rental program—Mainsail 178 delivers one of the strongest current combinations of lifestyle and investment potential along the Emerald Coast.

Our team is uniquely positioned to represent this property, with a deep track record at Mainsail. Most recently, we successfully listed and sold another condo here in late summer—while also managing it as a rental—giving us direct, current insight into both ownership values and guest demand. On the rental side, Ocean Reef Resorts continues to offer the largest selection of Mainsail vacation rentals, with firsthand knowledge of performance, trends, and what keeps this Gulf-front resort in such high demand.
Few opportunities combine proximity, amenities, and rental-ready appeal as seamlessly as this seventh-floor condo at Mainsail Resort in Miramar Beach. Regarded as one of the most coveted Gulf-front communities in the Destin area, Mainsail sits directly on 700 feet of private shoreline, offering panoramic views of the Gulf and a lifestyle rooted in sun, sand, and relaxation. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and over 1,200 square feet of living space, this residence captures everything that makes this stretch of Northwest Florida a perennial favorite for both vacationers and owners.
The Residence

Inside, the condo spans 1,208 square feet, blending comfort and coastal charm. The open-concept living and dining area is framed by wide windows and sliding glass doors, leading out to a private balcony overlooking the jewel-toned waters of the Gulf. From morning coffee to evening cocktails, the balcony becomes a natural extension of your living space.

The primary suite boasts balcony access, a king-sized bed, and a private ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and separate vanity. A spacious guest bedroom includes a Full/Full bunk with a Twin trundle, while the living room sleeper sofa allows the property to comfortably host up to six guests. A full kitchen, dining area, and well-furnished interiors make the condo both move-in ready for personal enjoyment and turnkey for rental use.
