Founded in Tampa, Florida in 1998, Mainsail Lodging & Development was created by Joe Collier with a combination of daring vision and dogged determination, supported by a group of enterprising investors.
Mainsail Development Group opened its first lodging complex in 1999, just one year after incorporating. The Mainsail Suites Hotel & Conference Center, located five minutes from Tampa International Airport, was developed under a master lease and served as a $50 million corporate training facility for PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Our relationship with an iconic hotel brand quickly diversified in the corporate furnished housing industry and subsequently positioned us as a leader in lifestyle branded hotels and resorts.
Mainsail, under the Oakwood & ExecuStay brands, manages corporate furnished housing throughout the Southeast.
Mainsail establishes itself as an industry leader with a portfolio of award-winning Autograph Collection® Hotels.
In 2009 and 2017, the Mainsail Beach Inn and the Waterline Villas & Marina were opened on Anna Maria Island.
Today, Mainsail Vacation Rentals draws from this hospitality legacy, blending the best vacation rentals on Anna Maria Island with resort amenities and outstanding service.
