Sunrise Bay is a 2BR, 1.5 bath, second floor apartment, in a 4-plex apartment property. It faces east and is on the water of Little Sarasota Bay. The apartment has a queen size bed in the master bedroom, and two twin, or single beds in the second bedroom.

Our second floor apartment has its own private deck with table and chairs that looks out over the water. The backyard is a paved patio with our own dock for your use. If you have a boat, you can dock your boat for $35.00 per night. You can park your trailer at the Turtle Beach marina. There is a picnic table, chairs, and gas grill on the patio. We also have 1 two-person kayak, 1 one-person kayak, 2 stand up paddle boards, 2 cruiser bikes and 1 tandem that is shared use with another apartment.

Right behind our apartment is the water of the Little Sarasota Bay. If you like nature, you will like this place. One wouldn't believe the wildlife that is right close, especially numerous jumping fish of several kinds, wading birds, pelicans, ibis, and spoonbill galore. Manatee, too. If you spend anytime at all out back, or have the patio doors open, you'll often see dolphins! They are a daily occurrence right off of our dock, about 50 feet out. Many times you will hear them exhale loudly, and then you will know to look out to the water.

There are also fruit trees on the property. Palm, orange, mango, and fig, and when they are in season, you can help yourself to their fruit and just grab them off the trees!

If you like fishing, it's pretty good off of our dock. Skate and catfish are mostly caught. Live shrimp make the best local bait and live shrimp are sold at the bait shop up the road. We have 2 fishing rods for your use.

And yes, there is a very nice sand beach right near by for you to swim, sun, or beach comb. This would be Siesta Key's 'Turtle Beach' which is across the road and about 300 yards north. Fine dining nearby and a decent grocery store 2.5 miles north so you don't have to leave the Key unless you want to.

There are beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach toys, skim board and such for your enjoyment. So, no need to lug them with you or take the time and money to buy those items for a short time use.

Off street parking is included, coin operated laundry machine, and plenty of heat and air con. The whole apartment, appliances, linens, furniture, etc. are in good condition with professional cleaning between guests. Bring your suntan lotion. Relax or stay in shape as you desire.

Cleaning already included in our nightly rate!

    The location is quiet a bit apart from crowded beach. Honestely I am bitterly disappointed with owner's philosophy. I had bitten by bed bugs almost 40 spots while i had been staying this cozy beach house. I notified the owner just right after i realized these skin lesions are totally different from moschito bite. (with picture) But the owner lady didn't follow it up, because neither of us can prove those are bed bug bites. I have only pics. Yes, there is no way for me to prove it except i had got this bites while i slept on the bed in this house. I was suffering from terrible itching 10days and now i have clusters on my body and bad memories in my mind.

    Great location, great amenities. Clean and relatively nice. Parking was challenging because of the restaurant next door. Had a heated confrontation with an uber driver. Comfortably of the furniture was lacking, not unbearable but the couch and chair were very stiff and made it hard to relax in the later evenings.

    Property had everything we needed. So thankful for the kayaks being available so we could get to Palmer Point. What a beautiful area to swim! We saw a manatee there and plenty of dolphin off the back deck.

    This spot was perfect for our family. It was out of the hustle bustle, but a quick walk to Turtle Beach. The trolley stop was a quick way for us to connect to shops and restaurants without the headache of parking. The views of Little Sarasota Bay were breathtaking! Wonderful and comfortable stay!

    Perfect place for a relaxing getaway. The view was beautiful. The place was clean, beds were comfortable, and communication with the owner easy and the response was timely. Short walk to the trolley stop or Turtle Beach access. Truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

    The actual property was nice and we eventually enjoyed it however,,,,, when we arrived the cleaning lady was just leaving and she told us the kitchen sink was backed up. She say the owner had someone coming out in the morning. We just opened the window above the sink so the place would smell better. We closed the bedroom doors so we could sleep with out the stink. The next day we were told that the plumber was a no show and the earliest the next plumber could come out was the next day. We were supposed to be ok with a stinky kitchen with no running water for 2 1/2 days? I called 2 different plumbers and the first couldn’t come out and the second said no problem he’d come out and fix it. I told the owner which company could do it and they set it up with them. Was it my responsibility to contact a plumber to have them fix the problem? No

    We spent lots of time on the patio overlooking the waterway. There is an osprey nest close enough to watch the baby. We were there for the full moon, and that was incredible. The condo is spacious and well stocked with everything we needed. Comfy bed as well. And the neighborhood is beautiful, with great restaurants and shops just a short distance away. Close to the beach too.

    The unit was great. It had everything we needed and was a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the fish and dolphins jumping in the bay.

    Is the place updated? No! But it is clean and comfortable. The key has such a relaxing vibe and this place is such a find. Turtle beach in the morning is amazing. Siesta Beach in the evenings. The restaurant next door has a delicious menu. Truly recommend especially to those that don't want to be in the busy condo zone.

    The place is not the newest place on the beach but it was very cozy, it has everything you need. We brought our kayaks, chairs, long boards, fishing poles and things but they had everything at the facility. I would love to stay here again. If faces bird island which is beautiful, you can walk to the beach or take their bikes or you can take a free trolley on the breeze the the more populated part of the island. My family and I really enjoyed it! Thankful they had aloe on hand for the sunburn, that was one thing I forgot.
