Vacation Rental Description
Right in the center of the island, but tucked away in its own oasis of calm; a short walk to the shopping district of Holmes Beach, an even shorter stroll to the sugar soft sand of Anna Maria Island’s unbroken shore, Sunrise Cottage is perfect in so many ways. Having recently undergone a complete renovation, with brand new features, fixtures and fittings throughout, this delightful, single-story home is particularly suitable for family groups with small children or the elderly. At less than 150 yards to the beach, but with its own private heated swimming pool set in a tropical garden, it also ticks a lot of boxes for those who want to combine a beach vacation with a chance to get away from it all in a home from home.
Sometimes it's the little touches that make all the difference. In Sunrise those little touches make a big impact, with solid granite counter tops, travertine tiled flooring with beautiful mosaic detail, French doors, designer Thomasville furniture and flat screen TVs in every room. Large enough to sleep up to eight in comfort with two double bedrooms, one twin and a sofa-bed in the lounge, but intimate enough for a couple to feel at home in, this property is the epitome of flexible vacation accommodation. And it gets better. Sunrise Cottage can also be combined with the adjacent Sunset Cottage, with its two en suite bedrooms, to make the ultimate Anna Maria Island family accommodation.
Living area
Throw open the French doors leading out to the tropical lagoon pool and outside space and relax in the comfort of the open-plan living area with a good book, watch cable on the 37” flat-screen TV or just lie back and enjoy the peace. Inside Sunrise Cottage you will feel so at home thanks to some exquisite touches and a tremendous feeling of space created by high ceilings and large picture windows allowing the warm sunshine to stream in.
Kitchen
The fully refurbished and professionally redesigned kitchen is a joy to cook in. With three large, eight-foot tall pantries and eye- and floor-level cabinets giving all the storage space you could need and luxury granite counter tops you have plenty of room in which to make your masterpieces. With all stainless steel appliances and Farberware pots, pans and cooking utensils the owners have spared no expense in equipping this kitchen as you would your own. For breakfast you can make use of a toaster and coffee maker, while there is also an iron and ironing board for those times when you simply have to use them.
Bedrooms
All three bedrooms in this property have en suite bathrooms leading off them, giving all guests privacy, and all are finished with top-quality fixtures and fittings. Bedrooms two and three have Jack and Jill bathrooms, which can be closed off to be private for each room, or left so guests sleeping on the sofa bed can have access to one or both of them without disturbing those in the bedrooms.
All bathrooms are equipped with luxury, freshly-laundered towels and will be spotlessly clean on your arrival.
Outside
You will be spending a lot of your time outdoors at Sunrise Cottage. With its lush tropical gardens and large, lagoon-like pool it offers you the perfect place to relax, let the kids play in safety and enjoy the peace and quiet of this excellent location. The brand new pool features two deck jets which arc water high in the air and three bubble jets which rise up from the large shallow sun desk section of the pool, a wonderful spot for children to play. And they do love the bubbles! Relax and enjoy your glorious seclusion on one of the four lounge chairs by the pool. There is even an outside enclosed shower with hot and cold water when you just don’t want to miss a second of sunshine.

All along the island you will find bike paths, marinas, water sports, sailboats, tennis courts and broad sweeping expanses of peaceful uncrowded beaches overlooking the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Quaint turn-of-the-century fishing piers are a great place to drop a fishing line, walk off a sumptuous meal or pass the time of day with the locals. Our protected beaches are home to loggerhead turtles, pelicans and herons and it is common to see dolphins playing in the waters of the Gulf.
Dining on the island is a culinary adventure with everything from casual beach cafes for breakfast or lunch, to fine restaurants with an international reputation. There are plenty of small shops and boutiques to browse around for gifts, craft items, silver and distinctive casual clothes. Just over on the mainland is the vibrant city of Bradenton and with Tampa and Orlando just a drive away, you can easily spend a day at Disney or Busch Gardens.
