Mainsail Lodging & Development Selected to Offer Rental Properties on Newly-Launched Homes & Villas by Marriott International

Tampa-based company one of just six partners in new global home rental venture

TAMPA, Fla. (May 14, 2019) – Mainsail Lodging & Development announced today it is one of just six property management companies chosen for the launch of Homes & Villas by Marriott International, the global hospitality leader’s new home rental offering, which officially launched Friday, May 10. Marriott International’s nearly 130 million members of its new travel program Marriott Bonvoy will have access to Mainsail rental properties located in Anna Maria Island, Florida.

Mainsail will benefit from Marriott’s powerful distribution channels, presenting expanded marketing opportunities to homes managed by Mainsail Lodging & Development through its Mainsail Vacation Rentals business.

“Marriott evaluated the caliber of our operations and quality of homes under our management and recognized that we delivered an elevated travel experience and understand the complex regulatory laws in place,” said Joe Collier, president of Mainsail Lodging & Development. “Given Marriott’s long-standing reputation in the hospitality space and their continued focus on innovating to meet the changing needs of travelers, we saw great synergy between our companies and our position within the home rental space.”

Primarily focused on Anna Maria Island, Florida, Mainsail Vacation Rentals offers a portfolio of homes ranging from beautifully appointed condominiums to single family homes with an array of floor plans, luxurious bedrooms and upscale amenities, including access to 24/7 support and the option of an in-person welcome check-in experience. Homeowners receive peace of mind knowing an experienced operator will create and manage their listing, and drive revenue, while completely handling the bookings, guest support, housekeeping and maintenance.

“Mainsail Lodging & Development operates a collection of lifestyle hotels with distinct brand stories that deliver truly unique experiences,” added Collier. “Combining this expertise with a passion for each destination, Mainsail Vacation Rentals delivers a home rental opportunity that is free of anxiety, allowing guests to become immersed in a community, creating memories that will last a lifetime.”
