My wife and I vacationed for one week on Anna Marie Island to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary this past June. We stayed at Mainsail Beach Inn in Unit 12! I can sincerely state that it was the best vacation experience of our lifetime. The unit was clean, casual, and yet luxurious! It had all of the amenities that we could ever want. The location, mere steps form the pool and beach, was perfect. There is easy access to restaurants and stores. We attended church at St. Bernard's on the island and were thrilled with our experience. We would highly recommend this vacation rental for couples or families. We plan on being a frequent renter in the future!!

Mainsail Beach Inn is a true slice of paradise. It is right on the best strip of the best beach in Florida - truly the water is like the Caribbean. If you don’t believe me look at the photos I took. We saw dolphins, manatees, herons, and crabs. The rooms are like a five star hotel. Large, tall ceilings, superbly decorated, and like home. Our unit #12 is highly recommended - open your doors and the pool and hot tub (which is actually hot!) are right there. Sit on the deck and watch the ocean. I cannot underestimate how convenient it was to have a unit right at the pool and 41 steps (we counted) to the beach. The staff (Matthew, John, Theresa) were all so helpful and welcoming. They will help you rent paddle board, kayaks, beach chairs, beach toys, whatever you need. It’s like you’re staying at a 5 star hotel instead of a condo. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You won’t regret it.…

Apartment well appointed with super washers and driers. Everything you need kitchen wise is there. A couple of yards from the beach, towels are supplied and swimming pool and plunge pool are in the courtyard. Reception are on site from 8am to 7pm and are extremely helpful. Parking allocated per apartment with extra available if required. Publix supermarket is a 5 minute drive or you can catch the free bus which goes all round the island.

We stayed a week in April and we're coming back in July with the family. We've been here several times over the last 10 years and each time we come, it's like coming back home. Bringing the family with us means everything. I have four children who have families of their own. Each family set gets their own condo with all the amenities. We meet at the pool and on the beach. We stay together or go our own way. Whatever comes with the day, MainSail is home. Everything works, everything is stocked, the view--incredible. We almost own the beach when we're at MainSail.

We just spent the month of March at Mainsail and it was amazing. The unit was very well laid out and accommodated occasional guests while being just the right size for my husband and me. We also saw many families enjoying the inn as well. The property is well taken care of including the beach area, pool and hot tub. Great spot to grill if you want to eat in and we had our own private balcony, one of two, to sit out and gaze at the gulf. However, the staff were what made it truly welcoming and comfortable. Bev, John and Manny were our daily connections and always had a helpful suggestion for places to go. Whenever we had a need they responded quickly and professionally-can't say enough about their hospitality and caring attitude. It was a wonderful experience on an island we know and have loved for the past 10 years. Mainsail was an added delight this year.…

We loved our stay at Mainsail Beach Inn on Holmes Beach. We stayed in unit 8C. It was perfect! Very clean and spacious! Great location on the island with wonderful amenities - bikes, pool, beach, kayak, etc. Beverly and John at the front desk area were so hospitable and accommodating. They gave our family outstanding service. We would certainly return to Mainsail Beach Inn for another vacation.

Great location right on the beach. Fabulous views of the sunsets across the gulf. Well appointed accommodation. Kitchen area is well stocked and has all the utilities you need. The laundry room is also well appointed. A great spot for a quiet relaxed getaway on the beach. There is also an onsite pool which is great for those windy days.
