The Sunset Place- Unbeatable location. Gorgeous Sunsets. Updated Coastal Gem
Only a few steps from the sugar white beaches and crystal waters of the gulf, this long-time island family home is now being offered as a vacation rental to host your family and friends. Anna Maria Island is a place where “old” Floridian charm can still be found, and The Sunset Place is the perfect spot to experience all the best Anna Maria Island has to offer. Pack your flip flops and get ready to slip back in time.
The Sunset Place is located at the gulf end of historic Pine Avenue, in the heart of Anna Maria City. This quaint city is home to unique shops, amazing restaurants, fishing piers, broad beaches, and spectacular sunsets. This house is perfectly situated to enjoy these famous sunsets, either from the many perfect spots in the house or from the beach steps away. While visiting here you can catch the free island trolley at the corner to explore the shops, grab an ice cream or quick cocktail, or you can do morning yoga on the beach in front of the house, spend the day splashing in the water with your family and then slip right next door to the legendary Sandbar Restaurant.
Beyond its perfect location, this home offers everything you need for a lively stay in this charming Florida destination. The property is recently renovated with a stylish Florida Boho vibe and features 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The luxurious three-room master features a spa tub and private sitting area. The other two bedrooms are serene spaces with king-sized beds. Additionally, the living room couch is a sleeper sofa and sleeps two more guests comfortably. There is also a Futon sofa in the Game room which could be used for additional sleeping for kids or grandkids.
For evenings you choose not to explore one of the many exciting nearby eateries; the large, spacious kitchen is the perfect place to cook local produce and seafood at home. The kitchen has great workspace and is well equipped for all your cooking needs. The spacious dining room table has ample seating and fantastic views of the gulf. After dinner, relax over coffee and dessert here as you watch the sun go down on another perfect day or slip into the comfortable living area to visit, watch tv or generally relax and kick back.
The house also has a fun downstairs recreation area to enjoy with your family and friends. There is a 50" TV, a combination billiard/ping-pong table, a game table, and a pass-through bar with a refrigerator. This space opens to the outdoor patio and a beautiful backyard dining area with a gas grill, lounge chairs, a hammock, a private outdoor shower and even a game area for a little corn hole in this private tropical oasis. In addition, at the front of the house there is an incredible spot where you can enjoy gulf breezes in a screen-enclosed seating area equipped with strings of soft night lights and overhead fan.
The Sunset Place makes escape easy with additional amenities. There is a beach gear storage shed fully equipped with beach cart, umbrellas, chairs, and sand toys. There is a spacious laundry room with a double sink. The parking area can accommodate 5 full sized vehicles with 2 spots covered. There is even an electrical plug available in the carport for charging golf carts.

Perfect location right next to the beach with gorgeous sunset views. Could walk to all of the cute restaurants and shops. Kids loved the pool table in the basement and decor was very fun. We appreciated the beach wagon and beach towels. Easy communication with management and very clean. Wonderful family vacation- would stay again!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and the amenities provided. We appreciate you sharing the details of your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back for another family vacation!
Great host, very responsive, and the most perfect walk to the beach. Everything was exactly as described. The only thing to note is that the restaurant next door (Sandbar Seafood) hosted weddings two nights during our stay, and the music was loud late into the evening. If you don't mind some nighttime noise, this place is fantastic! I do recommend!!

Thank you for your review Patricia!! The owner will be pleased to hear that you felt her family home was the best house for your Anna Maria Vacation. A lot of care and detail were put into this property to make it a great vacation property. We can't wait for you to come back too!! We look forward to your next visit!
Recently stayed here with family (6 people, ages 3-70). Really great location. Steps to sand (with sunset view from living room) and walkable to dozens of shops and restaurants. One of the best "stocked" rental homes we have used over the years, from outdoor gear (beach, cornhole, grill) to kitchen equipment. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Angela Calabro
I chuckle when new acquaintances seem genuinely surprised when I say I'm a native Floridian. Yes, there are some, and I am, indeed, one. Born in Tampa my family moved to Anna Maria in the early 60s. The landscape has certainly changed since those early years, but in many respects, Anna Maria has retained its small-town feel. It is truly a gem on the Florida West Coast.
I feel very fortunate to split my time between two of the most beautiful places in the country - New York's Hudson Valley and Anna Maria Island. I've tried to make the updated furnishings at Sunset Place as comfortable and convenient as if I were staying there year-round. My goal is to make you feel at home as I do. I know you're going to love the unit's close proximity to wonderful tree-shaded beaches, the awesome beach views and a variety of dining and shopping options close by.
I look forward to having you as a guest and wish you happy vacationing!
