Best vacation house yet!
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!!

Beautiful, clean house a few blocks from the beach.

We loved our stay! The house was perfect for my husband and I and our 4 teenage boys. They provided plenty of beach supplies, kitchen supplies, and we spent some great time playing ping pong when we got back. It was a short, easy walk to the beach, and the wagon they provided helped get all of our gear there. The layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms was great and the master was a beautiful retreat. We can't wait to come back!

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!

Just like it was advertised
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!!!

Perfect family getaway
I am pretty particular about the houses/properties we rent for our vacations. This house and property turned out to be the perfect getaway for my wife and me and our three teenage daughters. The place feels like it is new and had everything we needed. The back yard had a tropical feel with a lot of privacy. The pool was a little smaller than I expected but was still a great place for us to spend time as a family. It also was a very short walk to the beach. This was our first time visiting Anna Maria. An overall fantastic experience if you're looking for a very nice home in a quiet place away from crowds and tourists...at least that was the case for us in December.

A Little Slice of Heaven
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!

Fantastic!
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!

Perfect Spot in Holmes Beach
This is a great house for a family with multiple kids/teens. There's plenty of room for everyone. The location on the island is great; It's about a five minute walk to the entrance to the beach. The house was extremely well equipped from pool & beach supplies to cooking/kitchen needs.
After loading in, we realized the next day that the refrigerator wasn't working. Property management was VERY responsive. He came in, verified the problem and was able to get a repair technician to the property the next morning. The property manager even brought a few bags of ice to help us store our perishables in the meantime.
Definitely a great experience overall!

Our Experience
Property managers communication A+
House solid A- Pool area could use a couple upgrades. Outdoor flatscreen TV and a beverage center would go a long way.
AMI itself- several charming shops and restaurants. Always something new to experience. We all really enjoyed the island.
Neighborhood- Our advice would be to really think about what vacation means to you and your group. We (a group of 6 adults) were looking for sun, relaxation and some time to “cut loose” a bit. You might want to leave your Bluetooth speaker at home because a little loud music doesn’t seem welcomed around your own pool, even during the day. This is really the only reason we gave 3 stars under the location/community section of the review. The location is 5 stars for beach access, cleanliness and ease of access to restaurants and shops. You’ll have to go to the Sand Dollar or the Ugly Grouper to find more lively adult fun. Ugly Grouper within walking distance and the Sand Dollar a short golf cart ride away. We highly recommend renting a golf cart. Fun way to run down to the public beach, site see and even made running to the grocery store fun.

Great House!
We had a wonderful week at this home. The house was clean, well-stocked, and close to the beach. We loved the top floor private master suite with its own private balcony. The master had a very comfortable memory foam mattress. We’d definitely stay here again!

Family holiday
The property was great as was the neighborhood and proximity to beach and food. Loved the beach stuff available in the garage. Home was very well maintained and everything was as expected. Just a couple of things - the sun never got high enough in the sky to enjoy the pool (no sun in the backyard lower level) and a suggestion that the house come with some basic cleaning supplies. As we cooked it was hard to get things clean without kitchen spray of some variety.
Would definitely recommend the home and the area to others. Thanks for a great stay!

Family vacay
We had a great week on Anna Maria Island. The house is a short walk to the beach. The beach is not crowded at all, plenty of room to social distance. The pool was refreshing after spending time exploring the area or at the beach. Lots of local restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be back. It was a great relaxing week away.

Amazing location and beautiful house!
This was a lovely house and a perfect location. We have 3 young kids and it was a short walk to the beach. The beach wasn’t crowded and we always had plenty of room to play. The house was very clean and spacious. The pool was a perfect size. We will definitely be back!
