Your front-row seat to the Gulf of Mexico.
Sunset Terrace 108 delivers what beach vacation dreams are made of: a first-floor Gulf-front location (one level above ground parking) where you're just one flight of stairs from the sand, a massive screened balcony that becomes your favorite room, and those endless turquoise views that make you forget everywhere else exists. With 1,075 square feet of comfortable coastal living, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath escape has been creating family memories for over 30 years—and one stay will show you exactly why guests keep coming back.
The Screened Balcony (Your New Happy Place)
This isn't just a balcony—it's 148 square feet of Gulf-front paradise. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open to your private outdoor living room with dining table, bar-height seating, and unobstructed views of waves, sunsets, and dolphin shows. Morning coffee watching pelicans dive. Afternoon reading with the sound of surf. Evening cocktails as the sky turns gold and pink. The screens keep bugs out while the Gulf breeze flows through. This is where you'll spend most of your time, and you won't want to leave.
Easy Beach Access from First-Floor Living
Here's the smart layout: ground-level covered parking protects your car underneath the building, then one flight of stairs brings you to the first living level where this condo sits. From your door, it's another quick flight down to the beach—easy access without hauling gear up multiple stories. The covered parking level has a storage closet stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys. Park, grab your gear from the locker, head up to drop bags in your condo, then down to the sand. Two flights total from car to beach, but the elevated position gives you better views and Gulf breezes.
Coastal Comfort Inside
The entire back wall is glass—Gulf views flood the living and dining areas with natural light and that constant water backdrop. Blue velvet sofas anchor the living room. The galley kitchen has everything you need for extended-stay cooking. Both bathrooms feature distinctive carved vanities and the master shower has legendary water pressure. Tile flooring throughout keeps things cool and clean. Comfortable beds (guests consistently praise the mattresses), plenty of storage, TVs in every room. Everything works, everything's maintained, everything's ready.
Your Private Stretch of Paradise
Here's what makes this location special: no public beach parking nearby means you're sharing the sand with fellow condo residents and a handful of locals who walked here—not crowds pouring out of packed parking lots. This is the quiet Gulf experience most visitors never find. The beach feels like yours, especially during morning walks when it's just you, the shorebirds, and endless white sand stretching north and south. Walk a mile south to Bridge Street's restaurants, bars, shops, and bay views, or head north for long, peaceful shoreline strolls. The free island trolley stops right nearby, opening up all of Anna Maria Island without the parking hassles—Publix, CVS, Walgreens, dozens of restaurants, ice cream shops, and beach bars all accessible without moving your car.
Extended Stay Essentials
Full-size washer and dryer in unit. High-speed WiFi perfect for remote work. Cable TV with Netflix access. Covered parking for two vehicles underneath the building. Heated community pool. Ground-level storage for beach gear. One-week minimum stay. Everything designed for people who want to actually live here, not just visit.
Perfect For
Families building annual traditions. Snowbirds escaping winter. Remote workers with Gulf views during Zoom calls. Couples seeking romantic sunsets. Anyone who's dreamed of waking up to the sound of waves. Repeat guests who've been coming for years (and they have—some for over a decade). Those who want beach access without being so low that privacy suffers—elevated enough for better views and breezes, close enough for easy beach trips.
The Honest Truth
This is classic Gulf-front Florida done right. The location is unbeatable: first living level with Gulf-front views, that incredible screened balcony, and easy beach access via one flight of stairs. The unit is comfortable and well-maintained without being flashy. The views are spectacular. The repeat guest list speaks for itself—people don't come back year after year by accident. The covered parking underneath is a bonus most beach condos don't offer. This is the real deal.

"Spectacular panoramic views." "Steps away from the beautiful Gulf." "Mattresses like sleeping on a cloud." "The screened porch is heavenly." "We've stayed here four years in a row." "Location was perfect." Decades of 5-star reviews tell the story better than we can.
