Our family loved our time at "Unwind Sunshine". The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and easy access to the beach. The pool was a great addition and shaded in the afternoon sun. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful property with all the family beach getaway amenities included (bikes, wagon, chairs, toys, coolers, etc)! Highly recommend!!Awesome location just 2 small blocks to the beach. Backyard oasis was perfect for slow relaxing mornings and evening alfresco dining. The pool is perfect ! We had an amazing family vacation stay with plenty of space and rooms. Very convenient for family with kids ( highchair, pack n play, bunk room, games, pool floaters, toys, etc) . Hosts are very accommodating and great communicators !

This home is not only beautiful, but it is cozy while still being spacious. Having a large kitchen and a nice sized dining table were so nice for our week long stay. The living room was welcoming and we used it to unwind and connect. We loved the pool area and felt like we were in our own private oasis. The walk to the beach is short and takes you to a beautiful stretch of beach that was nice and quiet. Stephanie and Cy were lovely hosts and provided so many things for us that went above and being what we have experienced on the island before. We can’t wait to return to this home!

Our family of 6 adults and 1 baby had a wonderful stay. It was so nice to have all the amenities such as beach chairs and bikes available and not have to rent or bring along. The high chair and play yard worked out well for us also.The house is lovely and the location was perfect. Close to the beach and in a quiet area yet restaurants were within walking distance. We also took advantage of the free trolley with a stop close by.Because of traveling with a 10 month old, we had several meals at the house and found everything we needed in order to prepare dinner at the house, including a variety of spices.Stephanie was a great host and very responsive to questions. The heated private pool was icing on the cake and enjoyed by all.We strongly recommend this property and AMI for a great beach/family vacation.

Unwind Sunshine was a great place for our family to unplug and "unwind" for the week! The house is open and airy and everyone had plenty of room, the kids loved to supply of games to play, and the beach supplies provided were a great benefit and allowed us to enjoy the beach without needing to rent anything. Stephanie communicated with us well and we felt taken care of for the duration of our stay! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The house was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. So many amenities! The host was extremely accommodating and had wonderful touches such as leaving snacks and a bottle of wine. The house is an easy 4 minute walk to the beach. The heated pool ( we were there during a cool spell) was a bonus as well as the comfortable backyard. I’ve rented throughout the country and abroad. This was one of my favorites!!

We truly enjoyed our week away from home in this home! The owners were very good with communication and updating us on our stay. The house was clean, stocked with beach towels, and much more. The two refrigerators were very beneficial for 7 of us in the home. The pool area was beautiful. We truly loved the location as well. We would recommend this home to anyone staying at Anna Maria Island!

The house is was perfect for our first stay on Anna Marie Island. The house was clean, open, and just perfect for our group of 8. The pool felt tropical and secluded. Easy walking distance to the beach was a huge bonus as well. Highly recommend.
