Anna Maria Island Sun's Up B

Relax on the 3rd-floor veranda, and gaze out across the serene aquamarine waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The sea breeze is scented with jasmine and frangipani. Fresh air and the sounds of the surf will lower your blood pressure and make you glad to be alive!

This elegant, sunshine-yellow, 4br/3ba vacation home will help you to cherish every sunrise and vibrant sunset. Aptly named “Sun’s Up,” this Anna Maria island paradise is just ½ block (2 min stroll) from the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. The spacious, family-friendly home features a private, heated, saltwater pool shaded by graceful palm trees, as well as alfresco dining on the covered veranda, and balcony views of the sea.

This three-story home has a first floor/ground level semi-basement with a carport, garage and a game room.

Living:
The bright and beachy living room has a heather gray sectional sofa, coffee table, and wall-mounted SmartTV. This living area has travertine tile floors, soothing neutral tones, and a few splashes of cool coastal colors incorporated in seascape wall art and beachy decor. This living room has a relaxed, comfortable vibe; a family-friendly gathering area for easy conversation, cozying up with a book, or kicking back to stream your favorite shows or movies. Envision gathering for family game nights or reading bedtime stories on this comfortable sofa.
French doors from the living room open out to the covered, sunshine-yellow front veranda, which offers a beautiful teakwood alfresco dining table with seating for four. Large living room windows overlook the sparkling swimming pool, palms, and charming, pedestrian-friendly island neighborhood.

Kitchen/Dining:
The open-concept design of the kitchen/living/dining area makes for easy entertaining. The chef’s kitchen has plentiful, maple-hued hardwood cabinets, spacious granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a French door fridge/freezer with icemaker, an electric range and oven, a microwave, a double basin sink, and a dishwasher. A Keruig and drip coffee maker are both provided. (and yes, there is chef’s caliber sharp cutlery in a designated drawer!)

The kitchen island boasts wide counter space as well as a bar top with stool seating for two. This island bar seating makes the kitchen space much more social and fun! Guests can join the chef for a cocktail or conversation during meal prep.

The open kitchen has a distinct Mediterranean ambiance with warm earth tones; warm-natural hue travertine tile floors, and splashes of coastal decor in hues of blue, white, and aqua. Details such as arched doorways, arched kitchen pass-through, and high ceilings enhance the Mediterranean style. Whimsical sculptures of sea birds and seascape paintings draw in the beach vibe.

The kitchen passthrough has granite countertops and breakfast bar stool seating for four on the living room side. A great spot to sip your morning coffee or freshly squeezed citrus juice! Or, sit here to chat with the chef as breakfast pancakes are prepared! These extra seating areas make this kitchen a more dynamic social hub of the home.

The main dining table is located to one side of the kitchen, below a ceiling fan with a lamp. This rustic, distressed-style table, combined with its six blue and white rustic chairs, enhances the beachy vibe of the kitchen. If the weather is nice, you may also choose to dine outside, on the covered front veranda.

Bedrooms and Baths:
This home has four bedrooms, and three bathrooms, and sleeps 8 guests. There are phone/tablet/computer charging stations in each bedroom, as well as silent ceiling fans and SmartTVs. The beds have luxury mattresses and sumptuous linens. There are bath towel sets for 10 guests. There are hairdryers in each bathroom.

Recently installed Miami-Dade-certified hurricane doors and windows dampen outside noise to a whisper. There are blackout shades on all bedroom windows and patio doors to make it easier for children and adults to fall asleep or sleep in and wake refreshed.
On the second (main) floor, just off the kitchen, there is one bedroom with a Queen size bed. This main floor bedroom has access to a hallway full bathroom. The other three bedrooms are located upstairs on the third floor.
The Primary bedroom has a King size bed, elegant matching nightstands, reading lamps, an oversize armchair, bureau, closet, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom. This ensuite has a gorgeous red marble tiled soaking tub with whirlpool/jacuzzi features and a double-sink granite vanity. There’s also a walk-in shower with matching Italian red marble.
French glass doors from the Primary bedroom open out to the tranquil balcony/covered veranda with dazzling views of the turquoise Gulf of Mexico. There’s stylish rattan patio furniture with seating for eight on this veranda.
Bedroom #3 has one Queen Bed. Bedroom #4 has two twin beds. Bedrooms #3 and #4 share access to a full hallway bath. There is a laundry room with washer & dryer on the third floor.
Bedroom Overview:
Bedroom #1: Second (Main) Floor - 1 Queen Bed (sleeps 2)
Primary Suite: Third Floor - 1 King Bed (sleeps 2)
Bedroom #3: Third Floor - 1 Queen Bed (sleeps 2)
Bedroom #4: Third Floor - 2 Twin Beds (sleeps 2)

Grill some fresh-caught seafood, steaks, or portabellas! Add tropical flavor with some grilled pineapple, a dash of mango or citrus, or some homemade guacamole. Serve up a gourmet meal alfresco on the veranda or the patio, beneath the palms.

The game room/garage area has a pool table and a bar area with stool seating. Such a great man cave, especially on hot days! You’ll find extra supplies like beach chairs, coolers and pool floats in the garage storage area. This game room/carport with outdoor access to the pool & patio makes a wonderful addition to the living and entertaining spaces of this home!

The large, covered verandas and the front swimming pool are highlights of this home. The main/second floor veranda has an alfresco dining table with seating for four. The third-floor veranda, accessible off the primary suite, offers patio furnishings with seating for eight. This third-floor veranda is the ideal spot to enjoy the vibrant and magical sunsets that Anna Maria Island is famous for!

The heated saltwater pool is divine! And private and exclusive for you and your guests. (guests can set the temperature up to 85 degrees - any higher will destabilize the salt solution). There are plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas available for poolside relaxation. There’s a designated smoking area on the grounds with seating and an umbrella for protection from the sun and elements. Just ask us when you get here where it is on the property.

The very best amenity is the beach, which is precisely 170 steps from your door (Jen’s gait!) and is never crowded, not even during the peak winter season. It almost feels like it's your own private beach!

Neighborhood:
The combination of a tropical setting, beach location, luxurious amenities plus cosmopolitan convenience is the essence of this home. Park your car and explore the small, charming, historic island by foot, bicycle, golf cart, or trolley. Walk to restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and grocery markets. Nearby are boat rentals, and sunset cruises, as well as jet ski, bike, paddleboard, scooter, and kayak rentals.

There is plenty to do here. The restaurants are great! Want to explore the Island? Everything on the Island is accessible via the free air-conditioned trolley running every twenty minutes, or by free jitney services. Historic Bridge Street, with its restaurants, bars and grilles, live music, shops, and historic pier, is a 20-minute walk from the home. Don't want to drive on a night out on the town? Free jitney services will take you to and fro day or night. They work for tips. For those who want to fish.

Anna Maria Island is known as one of the best fishing locations in Florida. There are fishing piers and party fishing boats down the street. Serious about catching fish? Consider chartering a private fishing boat from one of the Island’s licensed captains (it is often said they know where the fish are!).

Like to shop? World-famous St. Armand's Circle and Sarasota are minutes away. Prime Outlets (130 designer and brand-name outlet stores) is nearby, but not too close to threaten your vacation budget! Have kids, or just want to act like one? Busch Gardens in Tampa is about an hour away, and Disney World is a 2-hour ride door-to-door.
