    Excellent outdoor living areas on every floor. Nice neighborhood. Rooms, baths, and beds as described. Short walk to beach. Nice grill. We appreciated the beach chairs and cart. We’ll definitely return next time we are in the area.

    My family of 6 stayed here in July with our foreign exchange student. The house is exactly as pictured. It was so clean.The kids loved the pool and the ping pong table. Getting to the beach was an easy 5 minute walk. We had one small issue and the management company was there within hour or so and resolved it.Would definitely love to stay here again!The neighbors were great and Ana Maria is such a beautiful family friendly island.We couldn't ask for anything more!!

    This is our 3rd year coming to AMI and our 2nd year staying at Sunsets on Carissa. We truly love everything this home has to offer, including it's location on the island. This place truly feels like a second home to us and we can't wait to come back again!

    Beautiful, clean house a few blocks from the beach. The owners graciously offered us an upgrade after our original house took on damage from the store so we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving as planned with family. Very comfortable and well appointed house. Would stay at this house/other properties listed by this company again.

    This is our second trip to AMI. It has quickly become our favorite vacay destination! The photos of this home were beautiful, but it's even more beautiful in person! It is also located in our favorite location of the island. For our family of 4, this home is perfect! The outdoor living spaces were so peaceful, and we loved the pool! We also love how short of a walk it is to the beach. 5 stars all around for this one! We can't wait to come back!

    My family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our week at Sunsets on Carissa! So much so, that we have already booked a week to come back next year. Everything you see in the pictures and read in the description is completely accurate. This home is absolutely beautiful, very clean and well decorated. The beds are comfortable and the entire home is well appointed with everything you could possibly need for fun at the beach. The pool was warm and my kids enjoyed taking a dip in the morning before the beach and in the evening after. Speaking of the beach - it is less than 2 blocks away and absolutely gorgeous with white sand and blue water. If you’re looking for a beautiful home on a quiet street that is close to the beach - look no further!

    Everything was just like we had hoped. Very clean, conveniently located and the privacy to sunbathe was great. The only downside is I injured my back a week before our vacation, so being on crutches was not the best with having three floors to navigate. It certainly wasn't a fault of the property - just the clumsy renter!!!

    This home was perfect for our AMI beach vacation. It is tastefully decorated, very comfortable, filled with sunlight, and a quick stroll from the beach. The high quality and very clean outdoor furniture was much appreciated as we spent most of our time on the THREE levels of outdoor space. The 2nd floor porch off the main living area felt very “Southern” and we enjoyed meals and cocktails while chatting with the neighborhood parrot :). The pool is perfect for sunbathing and the gorgeous landscaping is filled with palms making the backyard very private. The ping pong table was an added bonus as well as the high quality beach chairs, towels, umbrella, coolers, and wagon that were available to use. Can’t wait to rent this home again!

    Carissa street provided an great two week visit for us. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants/shopping. If you’re up for it, it’s just a 30min or so walk to even more shopping and dining options on AMI. The house layout was perfect - nice private suite on the 3rd floor, with two BRs on the kitchen/living room floor. Out back was perfect for BBQ and hanging out by the pool. The host met all expectations - easy booking and always quick to reply (within 24hrs). If you’re thinking about a visit to AMI, give this place plenty of consideration!
