We stayed in Unit 12. Had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. All were decorated beautifully and very clean looking. The kitchen was very spacious and easy to cook in. The balcony was a great place to see the Gulf and the palm trees and to just hang out. Loved how close the water was for us to walk to. The chairs were a nice touch as well. We really enjoyed the unit we stayed in! Lots of room and looked new.

The location is amazing and the unit is gorgeous and spacious! In a world where exceptional service is becoming increasingly rare, the entire staff was very nice but RHODA truly stood out. Definitely coming back next year!

Great four days here post Orlando parks, lovely 3 bedroom accommodation with great views, spacious and well kitted out. Can’t fault it, Matthew and Rhoda on hand to help out. Beach not too busy, waters warm and clear. Really liked Anna Maria island vibe, would love to come back!

We had a great weekend on AMI. The pros of this Inn: perfect beach/we had a beachfront condo with amazing views. The inner decor is gorgeous. Condo was clean and had everything we needed. Pool is a lovely touch and felt great. Toys and floats by the pool were amazing. Loved the key code to get in and out. Rhoda is amazing but has to work her butt off. Did not meet the other managers. Things we voted would take it to the next level: 1. The blue chairs positioned on the beach in VRBO and FB pics is what we were anticipating and that was not the case. We had to haul them out and back every day (which we were able to do but saw some people that weren't). The umbrellas were a challenge. Easily broke and Rhoda made a run to get replacement parts. We had to work hard to get them positioned and get creative in the wind. Down the beach you could see better quality equipment at other resorts. 2. We had 6 guests and only 4 balcony chairs (that were wood and didn't dry easily after a rain) with a tight balcony space and rail that is in need of some updates. 3. Bikes don't have locks so we couldn't take them off property to grab lunch etc. which was something we had planned to do. 4. The rental toys require waivers signed. Rhoda (and the other staff member present who didn't seem to know his role yet) wasn't always available to use these items. Felt like there needed to be a receptionist type person present at all times if she's going to be busting it covering more than one property. We also didn't realize there would be a time limit attached to these items/they needed to be locked back up prior to staff leaving for the day. Again, a receptionist type person later in the day could solve this. …

Dear Bramesja, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your recent stay with us. We are truly thrilled that you loved the property, spectacular beach views and the amenities that were offered. All our team members are dedicated to providing the highest level of facilities and service for all of our guests. We appreciate your kind words about Rhoda, she is a true asset to our team. Mainsail Beach Inn is a self-guided vacation rental experience. In our listings we do our best to showcase our amenities and offerings and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We appreciate you bringing the quality of the umbrellas to our attention and will look into alternative replacements for ease of use. We are glad Rhoda was able to provide you a replacement quickly. Although we cannot increase the size of our balconies, a beautification project is scheduled for Fall of this year. On your next visit to the Island our team would be happy to show you how to use the bike locks that are installed on every bike. As our property is on the Gulf Coast of Florida it is our responsibility to ensure we are in full compliance of local environmental regulations. As you may not be aware, Sea Turtle nesting season runs from May to October and requires extra care to be taken by all local beachfront business partners. As Mainsail Vacation Rentals typically do not have reception desks or staff that is onsite. However, Beach Inn is committed to providing the best guest experience possible therefore we offer on-site support from 9AM to 5PM daily. Sorry I didn’t get to meet you this weekend, I was out on vacation. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you’d like to discuss further.

My family and I came to Florida from England to visit my brother and his family. This was honestly a dream place for multiple families with children. Very clean, spacious, with an incredible view! The service was fantastic. Rhoda was always available to unlock the kayaks for us when we needed them. Anna Maria Beach is the nicest I've seen yet, and I've been to a lot of beaches in Europe. Would recommend it to anyone, but especially families.

Gorgeous two bedroom condo, recently updated with elegant decor and well stocked kitchen. Sunsets and beach time were perfection. Manager, Matthew and lobby staff John were friendly, helpful, and great resources for things to do on the island. Can’t wait to return.

Beautifully appointed Florida feel to this completely updated Beach Inn. Welcomed in the lobby on arrival by Rhoda, John and Matthew who continued to be attentive, personable and helpful throughout our stay. The refinished and maintained Florida pine floors and banisters were the inspiration of the beach decor! All bedrooms and beds comfortable, each with its own full bath! Kitchen nicely stocked with everything, but food, to that end,we were steps away from Ana Maria Islands most elegant restaurant, Beach Bistro! A most perfect beach vacation!

We could not have chosen a better location for our family vacation. Mainsail is RIGHT ON THE BEACH so we had views of manatees, dolphins and the fabulous sunset every day. Our condo was spacious, charming and luxurious and fit our family of four perfectly. The staff was helpful and friendly! We will definitely be back!
