Cyndee Haydon, Broker Associate, Future Home Realty, named among the 2026 Best Real Estate Agents in the U.S. by RealTrends Verified, ranking #723 in Florida out of 232,000 Realtors. Pinellas Gulf Beaches STR specialist.
RealTrends Verified is an annual ranking of America’s top real estate agents and teams in residential real estate, evaluated on verified sales volume and transaction sides from the prior year. Fewer than one in 300 Florida Realtors earn the designation.
Haydon specializes in waterfront, vacation-rental, and short-term-rental investment properties across Florida’s Pinellas Gulf Beaches, serving buyers and sellers in Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, and Redington Beach. She does not manage vacation rentals after the sale, focusing instead on acquiring, positioning, and selling STR-eligible properties in one of Florida’s most active beach rental markets. Her full biography and transaction history are available.
“Buyers coming to the Gulf Beaches to purchase a vacation rental or Airbnb property need more than a Realtor. They need someone who knows which buildings allow short-term rentals, which flood zones affect insurance costs, and what the real operating numbers look like before they close,” Haydon said. “That specialization is what this recognition reflects.”
Haydon has completed 150+ vacation rental and STR transactions and $230M+ in career sales since 2005. She has been a Gulf Beaches resident since 1991 and holds eight professional designations, including CRS, CLHMS, RSPS, and CIPS. In 2026, she serves as Treasurer of Florida Realtors and Chair of the NAR Regulatory Issues Forum, making her one of the most credentialed and most connected Realtors serving the Gulf Beach vacation rental market.
The Sandbars to Sunsets Team recently launched a free city-by-city vacation rental investment guide for the Pinellas Gulf Beaches covering STR regulations, Airbnb income data, and market reports for Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, and Redington Beach. The resource was featured across 700+ media outlets at its May 2026 launch.
According to vacation rental market data covering May 2025 through April 2026, the average short-term rental in Indian Rocks Beach generated $64,338 in gross annual revenue at an average daily rate of $438, with revenue growing 20.6% year over year. Haydon’s free investment guide provides monthly STR market reports, regulation summaries, and verified transaction case studies for buyers evaluating the market. The full guide is available at https://pinellasgulfbeachstrinvestment.com/indian-rocks-beach/.
Haydon is available for media inquiries on vacation rental investment trends, Florida STR regulations, coastal flood insurance, and the Pinellas Gulf Beach real estate market.
