Sunrise Suites

Sunrise at Seaside offers buyers the opportunity to own a true Key West vacation property with amenities and transient rental capability.

Community features include:

• Community swimming pool

• Tennis

• Dedicated parking

• Two-bedroom / two-bath residences

• Private outdoor space with individual units

• Tropical landscaping

• Convenient Seaside Drive location

• Proximity to Smathers Beach

• Easy access to Key West International Airport

For many buyers, the combination of two bedrooms and two full bathrooms is particularly attractive because it works equally well for couples, families, or friends traveling together.

Sunrise at Seaside is refreshingly straightforward: all residences share the same two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan.

This consistency makes comparison shopping within the community much easier. Instead of choosing among different unit sizes and configurations, buyers can concentrate on the characteristics that distinguish one residence from another.

Depending on the individual property, differences may include:

• Interior renovations and finishes

• Furnishings

• Kitchen and bathroom updates

• Views

• Floor or building location

• Outdoor living areas

• Rental history and future reservations

• Overall condition

For buyers considering rental income, the identical layouts also make it easier to compare the performance and asking price of one unit against another.

Sunrise at Seaside is located on the eastern side of Key West, offering a quieter setting while keeping the entire island within easy reach.

Nearby you'll find:

• Smathers Beach

• Key West International Airport

• South Roosevelt Boulevard walking and biking path

• Shopping and grocery stores

• Restaurants and everyday services

• Cow Key Channel

• Stock Island dining and marinas

• Old Town Key West, just a short drive away

The location works particularly well for vacation ownership. Owners and guests can enjoy the beaches and quieter eastern side of the island while remaining only minutes from Duval Street, the Historic Seaport, Mallory Square, and Key West's restaurants and attractions.

Sunrise at Seaside is a transient-licensed condominium community, distinguishing it from many residential condominium communities in Key West.

The community permits legal short-term vacation rentals, subject to the condominium association's governing documents and applicable City of Key West and State of Florida requirements.

Important considerations include:

• Sunrise at Seaside permits transient vacation rentals.

• Individual owners must comply with applicable licensing and registration requirements.

• Association rules regarding rentals, guests, parking, occupancy, and property use apply.

• Owners offering vacation rentals are responsible for complying with applicable tax, safety, and licensing requirements.

• Buyers purchasing with rental income in mind should verify the transient license and rental status associated with the individual property as part of their due diligence.

The ability to legally offer shorter stays is an important distinction in Key West, where transient rental opportunities are limited.

Yes.

Sunrise at Seaside is a transient-licensed condominium community, allowing owners to participate in Key West's short-term vacation rental market subject to applicable association rules and licensing requirements.

This makes Sunrise at Seaside very different from many Key West communities that require minimum rental periods of 30 days or longer.

For buyers who want to enjoy their Key West residence themselves while having the option to generate vacation-rental income when they're away, this rental flexibility can be one of the community's biggest advantages.

Sunrise at Seaside can be an excellent choice for buyers seeking:

Key West vacation home

Second residence

Transient vacation rental investment

Seasonal rental investment

Two-bedroom / two-bath property

Personal use combined with rental income

The combination of transient rental capability, identical two-bedroom/two-bath layouts, community amenities, parking, and Key West location makes Sunrise at Seaside particularly interesting for buyers who want both personal enjoyment and potential rental income.

As with any investment property, buyers should evaluate the individual unit's purchase price, carrying costs, insurance, association fees, rental history, management expenses, and projected occupancy rather than relying solely on gross rental revenue.

Before purchasing at Sunrise at Seaside, buyers should review:

• Current condominium governing documents

• Association financial statements and reserve funding

• Transient rental provisions

• Individual unit licensing status

• Rental history, when available

• Existing future rental reservations, when applicable

• Property management agreements, when applicable

• Association fees

• Insurance responsibilities

• Parking rules

• Pet policies

• Guest and occupancy rules

• Any current or planned capital improvements or assessments

For a buyer purchasing specifically for vacation-rental income, it is particularly important to verify that the individual property has the appropriate licensing and legal ability to continue operating as intended after the sale.

Sunrise at Seaside offers two-bedroom, two-bath condominium residences with community amenities and the added advantage of transient rental capability.

Sunrise at Seaside fills a very specific niche in the Key West condo market. There are plenty of buyers who want a Key West home they can enjoy themselves but don't want it sitting empty when they're away. The transient rental capability here gives those buyers an option that many other condominium communities simply can't offer.

I also like the simplicity of the community. Every unit is a two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan, so when we're comparing available properties, we can really focus on what matters: condition, location within the community, furnishings, views, rental history, expenses, and price.

It's also important not to confuse Sunrise at Seaside with Seaside Residences. They're neighboring communities, but they offer very different ownership and rental opportunities. Seaside Residences is geared toward residential and monthly use, while Sunrise at Seaside offers transient-licensed condominium ownership with short-term rental potential.

For buyers whose goal is a combination of personal Key West use and vacation-rental income, Sunrise at Seaside is absolutely a community I would include in the conversation.
