Welcome to Unwind Sunshine, a pristine four-bedroom, three-bathroom island retreat designed for unforgettable family vacations. Perfectly situated between downtown Anna Maria and Holmes Beach, our home places you close to the very best of the island while providing a private oasis for your family to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

Beach Days Made Easy - The sugar-soft sand and sparkling Gulf waters are just 1.5 blocks away. Our nearby beach access is a favorite among locals, offering a gentle-sloping ocean floor, a wide sandy shoreline, and beautiful, unobstructed Gulf views without high-rise condos. Spend your days searching for sand dollars, splashing in the waves, or watching the sun sink below the horizon. With the island trolley just a short stroll away, exploring Anna Maria Island couldn’t be easier.

Designed for Time Together - Unwind Sunshine was thoughtfully designed with families and friends in mind. The open-concept, single-level layout makes it easy to gather, whether you’re preparing meals in the kitchen, playing games around the table, or relaxing after a day in the sun. The home comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and includes two luxurious king ensuite bedrooms, each featuring premium mattresses and blackout shades for a restful night’s sleep.

* Bedroom 1 • King bed • Ensuite bathroom • Pool view • Direct pool access
* Bedroom 2 • King bed • Ensuite bathroom • Pool view • Direct pool access
* Bedroom 3 • Four twin beds • custom built bunks with pull out trundle
* Bedroom 4 • Queen bed • Adjacent full bathroom

Your Private Tropical Oasis - When you’re ready for a break from the beach, retreat to your own private backyard paradise. Take a dip in the large heated pool, maintained at approximately 85 degrees during the cooler months. Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, the pool area features a soothing rock water feature and plenty of space to relax and soak up the Florida sunshine. After a day at the beach, there’s no better place to unwind.

Everything You Need for the Perfect Island Day - We’ve stocked Unwind Sunshine with the extras that make your beach vacation effortless. Simply grab your gear and go.

* 8 beach chairs
* Beach towels
* Boogie boards
* Sand toys

Back at home, fire up the poolside grill, make drinks with the under-counter ice maker, or prepare a family meal in the fully stocked chef’s kitchen—complete with spices and two full-size refrigerators.

Family Fun Beyond the Beach - A little rain or a relaxing evening at home? Our game closet has something for everyone. Choose from favorites including Scattergories, Pictionary, Candy Land, Boggle, Connect Four, Bop It, puzzles, and more. We also have a book-share shelf—perfect for discovering your next vacation read. For families traveling with little ones, a high chair and Pack-N-Play are also available.

Modern Comforts - Relax and enjoy the convenience of a thoughtfully equipped smart home, including:

* Electronic locks with unique guest access codes
* High-speed Wi-Fi
* Four Smart TVs
* Nest climate control
* Bluetooth speakers for your favorite poolside soundtrack

Thoughtfully Designed with Families in Mind - Your family’s comfort, safety, and peace of mind are important to us. Pool alarms are installed on backyard access doors, and every reservation receives a unique door code. Your privacy matters. For peace of mind, exterior security cameras are positioned toward the front of the home and street-facing areas only. They do not monitor the interior of the home or private outdoor living spaces. The cameras help us maintain the property and ensure our landscaping and pool service are cared for to the highest standards-so you can relax and enjoy your stay at Unwind Sunshine with confidence.

At Unwind Sunshine, we’ve thought through the little things so you can spend less time packing and planning—and more time relaxing, reconnecting, and unwinding. Your Anna Maria Island escape is waiting.

Please note, a rental agreement must be signed within 72 hours of booking to confirm your reservation. The agreement outlines the terms and conditions of your stay.

About the Owner

Hi, We’re Stephanie & Cy, the owners and hands-on hosts behind Unwind Sunshine. We’re not a typical vacation rental management company—this is our home, our business, and a place we truly love sharing with families from around the world. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a beautiful, comfortable retreat while preserving the coastal charm that makes Anna Maria Island so special. With Cy’s background in construction and business ownership and my 20+ years in customer service and operations, we’ve created a guest experience where the little details matter. Your happiness is always our top priority. We communicate directly with every guest and tailor our communication to your preferences, whether you want local recommendations and a helping hand or simply a peaceful, private stay. After eight years, some of our guests have even become wonderful friends. When we’re not hosting, we love spending time with our two daughters, entertaining friends and family, and enjoying the outdoors—especially fishing, hiking, and soaking up island time. We’d love to welcome you to Unwind Sunshine and help you create memories you’ll treasure long after your vacation ends. Warmly, Stephanie & Cy
