Just the Best

My family and I had just the BEST stay at Mainbrace. All the comforts of home in a beautifully decorated, well designed space that’s clearly maintained with love. We went slightly off season and often had the stunning beach to ourselves. Being on the quieter end of the island was perfect for us and anything we needed was just a short golf cart ride away. Lovely owners and caretakers made this an easy and unforgettable stay!

The best week!

Our stay at Mainbrace is a vacation our family will always remember! The home was beautiful, had everything we needed for our family of 5, and the proximity to the beach was amazing! Our kids loved the yard and hammock. Clint and Neka were very helpful, and Trish provided so much helpful information before we arrived on the island. We are so grateful we got to spend our vacation in this beautiful home!

Perfect spot in Harbour Island

This is our second time staying at Mainbrace and we can’t imagine staying anywhere else on the island! The house was perfect for our small family and we love the chic island cottage vibe. It’s a beautifully decorated cottage that had everything we could need, Nespresso machine, beach towels and roadies, water toys, and more. Trish was so easy to work with and checked on us during our stay. We LOVE Mainbrace and only wish we could come more often!

Family Spring Break

We had an amazing experience at Mainbrace! We just spent the week there with our children and the house was perfect and so nicely decorated! So close to the beach and the yard was perfect for the kids to play in. The property owner and manager were both so accommodating and provided so many great recommendations. Everything was perfect. I’m sad it’s not available for our spring break next year as we would definitely rent it again!

Gorgeous Property

We absolutely loved Mainbrace! It was so fabulous to be so close to the beach and to have the yard for the kids to roam and relax. The interior is thoughtfully laid out and exquisitely designed. The kitchen is really well appointed. We loved the shed full of beach gear as well. Trish was so easy to communicate with and lovely. We will be back!

lovely, well-equipped home!

Trish is a great hostess. The home is gorgeous and well-appointed with everything you will need for a beach vacation. The communication with her team was effortless when we had some snarls arriving to the island and they made sure we had what we needed to get the ground running once we finally arrived. We will definitely be back to Mainbrace!

Wonderful stay - hopefully we'll be back again soon!

Me and my family had a wonderful time at Mainbrace. It was perfect for our family of 6 (including a 3 and 1 year old). The owner, Trish, and property managers, Neka and Clint, were fast responding to any communication or requests made (in advance or onsite). Mainbrace was convienent to everything, especially the beach! The only thing we did not anticipate was losing power a few times during the week. It was never for long, but as the house doesn't have a generator we just need to plan for that in the future. We hope to be back soon!

Mainbrace is the place!

Mainbrace was everything I imagined. Steps from the beach. So close we did not need shoes! The tropical yard is large. When we were not at beach we played hide and seek among the banana trees. The house is beautifully decorated and the space very conducive for families. Daily housekeeping by Anastacia was a treat! Out family will definitely rebook Mainbrace for our next trip to Harbor Island.

Perfect Harbour Island Home

My family and I travel to Harbour Island every year and we've finally found the perfect home that we'll always come back to. Trish has incredible taste and Mainbrace is impeccably designed, while still being extremely comfortable and inviting. The spacious living area and kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and huge front yard provided ample space for my husband and I, our two little boys, and my in-laws. Mainbrace is a 1 minute stroll to my favorite stretch of Pink Sands Beach which made beach days with the kids very easy. The house managers and Trish are both very responsive and even helped us stock the house with provisions prior to our arrival. We can't wait for our trip next year!

Perfection!

We are so happy we chose Mainbrace for our Harbour Island family vacation! Every part of our stay, including the booking process was easy, enjoyable and we could not have asked for a better experience. Trish was so great to work with, responsive, helpful and her island recommendations came in handy many times, enabling us to make the most of our trip. Mainbrace has everything we needed, the property is stunning, beautifully decorated, cozy, comfortable and perfectly located in a quiet area steps away from the spectacular pink sand beach that feels like a private beach. The housekeeping service was very much appreciated also (shout out to Clint for his kindness)! We would highly recommend Mainbrace to anyone booking a stay on Harbour Island and we can't wait to return stay there ourselves.
