225 S Tropical Trl

Sunset Bay is a low-rise, gated waterfront condominium community on Merritt Island built in 1986. The complex is three stories tall and contains a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences with a range of floorplans from compact studios to larger multi-bedroom units. Exterior character emphasizes tropical landscaping, walkways beneath mature oaks, and private riverfront amenities including a dock, fishing pier and waterfront deck. Many residences offer private screened balconies or enclosed porches with Indian River views and feature interior elements commonly updated over time: open or eat-in kitchens with islands or breakfast nooks, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, wood-look or engineered flooring, walk-in closets, and remodeled primary bathrooms. Building-level systems reflect incremental upgrades: impact windows on some facades, newer HVAC units in many homes, and unit laundry in most layouts. Shared facilities are extensive for a low-rise property and include a large riverfront pool and spa, clubhouse with fitness room, tennis and basketball courts, car wash area, outdoor kitchen/grill and community fire pit. Parking is surface-level; limited covered or garage storage may be available. The association permits short-term rentals with minimum lease terms, maintains gated access and enforces pet-friendly policies subject to association rules. Located just south of State Route 520, Sunset Bay provides convenient access to shopping, dining, beaches and local waterways, offering a relaxed waterfront lifestyle in a small-community setting.
