Sunset Bay is a gated townhome community in Tarpon Springs, Pinellas County, built in 2005 and 2006 by a private developer. The community sits between Fred Howard Park and the Anclote River bayou corridor, with the backyard island extending into the bayou and providing access to the Gulf of Mexico (Lipply Real Estate and neighborhood data, 2025).
The homes are three-story townhomes of roughly 2,600 square feet with three bedrooms, a private elevator from the two-to-three car oversized garage to the master suite, private balconies, granite countertops, maple cabinetry, and island kitchens. The community offers a heated pool, spa, clubhouse, and a private island with gazebo.
Because the community is on the water, flood zone exposure and insurance costs must be verified for every specific unit address. FEMA flood zone designation and elevation certificate data drive the premium, and in a waterfront Pinellas community completed in 2005, those numbers deserve a dedicated insurance quote before any offer.
The location gives residents walking or short-drive access to the historic Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Fred Howard Park beach, and the Greek dining and culture corridor that makes Tarpon Springs one of the most distinctive small cities on the Gulf Coast. Tampa International Airport is roughly 40 to 50 minutes south depending on traffic.
