Adorable home in AMI • Heated Pool • Walk to Beach

Sunrise Bay – Unit B | Heated Pool + Spa • Walk to Beach • Modern Coastal Retreat

Welcome to Sunrise Bay Unit B, a spacious and completely renovated two-bedroom, two-bath ground-floor retreat located in the heart of Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. This bright, modern duplex offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm—just a five-minute walk, two short blocks, to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. Designed for both relaxation and style, this home is ideal for families, couples, and small groups looking for a peaceful yet walkable island escape.

Sunrise Bay Unit B sits in one of the most desirable areas on Anna Maria Island, close to everything yet quietly tucked away from crowds. The free AMI trolley has two stops right in front of the property, providing easy access to Pine Avenue, Bridge Street, Bradenton Beach, Coquina Beach, and local marinas. Within minutes, you can walk to island restaurants, coffee shops, ice-cream parlors, and boutique stores. Park once and explore the island at your own pace—no need to drive or search for parking.

Inside, every detail of this coastal getaway has been refreshed from top to bottom. The living room is bright and open, featuring new furnishings, modern décor, a large smart TV with streaming access, and a brand-new LazyBoy sleeper sofa for extra guests. The open-concept kitchen is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, cookware, dishes, utensils, and small appliances like a blender and coffee maker. The adjacent dining space is perfect for family meals or a cozy workspace with fast, reliable Wi-Fi.

The primary suite offers a plush king-size bed with luxury linens, blackout curtains, ample closet space, and an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and spa-style finishes. The guest bedroom includes a comfortable queen bed, soft bedding, and easy access to the second full bathroom, also newly updated with coastal tile and premium fixtures. Central air conditioning, ceiling fans, and sound-insulated windows keep the entire space quiet and cool year-round.

All linens and essentials are provided. Guests will find fresh bath towels, beach towels, and complete bed sets, as well as extra blankets and pillows. The home includes a full-size washer and dryer, starter toiletries, paper goods, cleaning supplies, an iron and ironing board, and a hair dryer. Beach gear is ready to go—chairs, umbrella, cooler, and a wagon—so you can head to the beach within minutes and enjoy the Gulf of Mexico without worrying about packing equipment.

Just outside your door is a brand-new heated pool and spa, shared with only three other Sunrise Bay units. The boutique setup offers a private resort feel without crowds. The pool is heated year-round and surrounded by tropical landscaping, loungers, and umbrellas. After a morning swim or day at the beach, unwind in the jacuzzi or grill dinner on your private porch. The atmosphere is peaceful, inviting, and designed for true relaxation.

When you’re ready to explore, the free island trolley makes it simple to reach every corner of Anna Maria Island. Spend an afternoon shopping along Pine Avenue, enjoy seafood and live music at Bridge Street, or discover the old-Florida charm of Cortez Village with fresh-caught grouper sandwiches. Visit Bean Point Beach for sunsets and shelling, or book adventures from nearby marinas—fishing charters, dolphin cruises, kayak and paddleboard rentals, or snorkeling excursions. The island’s flat terrain makes biking fun and easy, and wildlife lovers will spot pelicans, manatees, and dolphins almost daily.

Guests consistently love Sunrise Bay Unit B for its walkable location, modern coastal style, cleanliness, and quiet atmosphere. It’s a perfect choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway, families enjoying quality beach time, or travelers wanting a peaceful extended stay. The property combines boutique-style privacy with the convenience of being close to everything on Anna Maria Island.

Sunrise Bay Unit B includes free parking for one or two vehicles, a private entrance, and ground-floor access—no stairs. Check-in is at 4 p.m. and check-out at 10 a.m. Minimum stays vary by season, typically three to seven nights. The home operates under vacation rental certificate VRC22-000001 and complies with all Holmes Beach and Manatee County vacation-rental regulations.

Nearby points of interest include Manatee Beach Park, Coquina Beach Market, the Rod & Reel Pier, Neal Preserve, and Leffis Key Trail. Local dining favorites such as The Feast, Hurricane Hank’s, The Ugly Grouper, and Tortilla Bay are all within a short stroll. Groceries and essentials can be found at Publix on East Bay Drive, less than a mile away.

This home is designed for comfort and convenience with a coastal-chic aesthetic. The décor features soft beach tones, artwork inspired by the Gulf, and natural textures that create a calm, relaxed environment. The open layout allows sunlight to filter through every room, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your private porch, floating in the heated pool, or walking barefoot to the beach, every detail has been crafted to make your stay unforgettable.

Anna Maria Island is known for its small-town charm, crystal-clear water, and seven miles of unspoiled beaches. The island’s ban on high-rises preserves its laid-back feel, while locally owned shops and restaurants deliver authentic Florida hospitality. Guests love exploring the area on foot, by trolley, or on rented bikes. Popular activities include kayaking through mangroves, paddleboarding in calm bays, fishing off piers, taking dolphin-watch tours, or simply watching the sun melt into the Gulf horizon each evening.

Your stay at Sunrise Bay Unit B includes everything you need to feel right at home: full kitchen, in-unit laundry, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, beach gear, linens, towels, air conditioning, heating, private grill, and outdoor dining. The property’s boutique scale means you’ll never feel crowded—just a quiet, relaxing island vibe with plenty of space to unwind.

Experience the best of Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island from this peaceful, walkable, updated duplex. Sunrise Bay Unit B offers modern coastal living, luxurious comfort, and easy access to everything that makes AMI special. Spend your mornings on the sand, your afternoons by the pool, and your evenings enjoying local dining and spectacular Gulf sunsets.

Book your stay at Sunrise Bay Unit B today and discover why guests call it their favorite Anna Maria Island getaway. Everything you need for a stress-free tropical escape is waiting—fresh linens, beach towels, sunshine, and that unmistakable Anna Maria Island charm.

Things that stood out include: - 2 block walk to a beach entrance - heated pool and lounging area - very tastefully decorated living space - well stocked kitchen with newer appliances - Christy (owner/manager) was quick and helpful in responding to questions.

Island fun in the sun!

This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island and loved every minute! The rental was clean, comfortable and true to description on Vrbo. Easy check in and out. Easy walk to the beach. We had our bikes and once we checked into the house we used our bikes to get around the island. Plenty of options for restaurants. Loved the Ugly Grouper. Always a long wait but we were able to get seats at the bar. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by CHRISTINE

Host profile image
We chose Treasure Cay, Abaco and Anna Maria Island because both locations offer what most travelers dream of but rarely find in the same place — uncrowded beaches, walkability, waterfront living, and an authentic island community feel. These aren’t commercialized tourist areas; they are true island destinations where you can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

Why they chose this property

After traveling to many coastal destinations, we fell in love with Treasure Cay, Abaco and Anna Maria Island because of their rare combination of natural beauty and true island simplicity. Both places offer:

Sugar-white beaches and turquoise water

Walkability and golf-cart friendly living

A safe, quiet community atmosphere

Locally owned restaurants and shops — not chain tourism

The feeling of “private island life,” without needing a resort

These aren’t just vacation spots — they are places where the world slows down. Where mornings start with sunrise over the water, and evenings end with barefoot walks on the beach. We chose these locations because they create the kind of memories you carry forever.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the combination of privacy, location, and amenities. You are in the heart of Holmes Beach — steps from restaurants, shops, and the free AMI trolley — yet the home sits on a private, dead-end street with no public access, so it feels secluded and quiet.

Unlike most rentals, this duplex offers two completely renovated units, giving guests the flexibility of traveling together while still enjoying personal space. The newly built heated pool and spa are shared with only three other units, creating a boutique resort feel rather than a crowded condo environment.

Best of all, the beach is just a short 5-minute walk — close enough to stroll back and forth throughout the day.
