Quiet Hours 10p-8a. You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Reservations are typically taken for 7 night Saturday-Saturday stays. However, we can offer flexible stays with varying minimum night requirements and non-Saturday check-ins/check-outs during most of the year with exception to holidays and peak weeks unless city ordinances prohibit it. Always feel free to ask prior to booking to see if this is a possibility as we may not be able to accommodate changes after booking.

CLEANING AND SAFETY:
All our homes and linens are cleaned, sanitized, and inspected between each guest per industry standards. A starter set of basic amenities, linens, towels, and bedding are provided at the beginning of your stay per home occupancy. Daily housekeeping or linen services are not included in your stay.

Additional cleaning and laundry services are available by request mid-stay at additional charge. For stays of 28-days or more, a mid-stay clean will be required to be scheduled and paid by guest at additional cost.

This home participates in our Professional Linen Program. This ensures high quality linens and towels are provided according to the home's occupancy at the beginning of your stay.

POOL & SPA (if any):
The pool is heated year round at no additional cost for the convenience and comfort of our guests. Pool temperatures are set between 82-85 degrees and will not be set higher due to keeping proper chemical balance, clarity, and cleanliness of the pools. Due to strict city noise ordinances pool heaters and filters do not run during the hours of 10p-8a. Please note that cooler ambient temperatures (20 degree difference between water and air temperature) may result in pool heater unable to compensate the difference. We are not responsible for cold spells causing cooler pool temperatures or unexpected failure of equipment. Please note that a residential spa is a section of pool that once turned on provides relaxation, misting bubbles and warmer temperatures in the high 90s - low 100s but are not permitted to remain on 24/7 or will not reach temperatures like that of a commercial hot tub. Spas may not be operational during the months of June - September to avoid high temperatures of pool water which is detrimental to keeping proper pool chemical balances. Guests are required to read and abide by all posted rules, safety and operating information. Under no circumstance is any guest allowed to adjust pool equipment. Failure to abide may result in guests being fined or liable for any damages to equipment.

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!

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!!!

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!

Great house and location
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!

Wonderful Stay in AMI
We had a fantastic stay at Sunsets on Carissa. The upper level suite and pool area are particularly amazing. The property is walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and the beach.

We currently manage 30+ throughout the island on behalf of our owners. We relocated here in 2016 after we fell in love with the small town feel of this beach island paradise and built our small business from the ground up with the passion to share this beloved island with others. It is our utmost goal to make every one of our guests instantly feel at home as a 'true local' in one of our unique, pristine, meticulously designed and luxurious accommodations. From small beachside bungalows to sprawling multi-story single family homes. We take great pride in ensuring our homes are maintained with the highest standards in quality and care.

Why they chose this property

Regardless of what a blissful vacation means to you... fishing off a pier, wildlife watching, enjoying a boat ride, dipping your toes in blue waters, sunning yourself on cool sand, eating your hearts desire of fresh seafood, sipping some island cocktails, grabbing a beer and listening to live music, filling your shopping bags with unique finds, mini-golfing with the little ones, exploring the island by bike, joining a sandbar party, spending time with your loved ones, snoozing in a hammock, enjoying a romantic date night with some fine dining or just doing nothing at all but reading a book and listening to the waves under an umbrella... you will find it here.  

What makes this property unique

AMI always finds a way to reinvigorate your soul by pouring sunshine into your heart and writing cherished memories onto your mind.  The idea of Once Upon a Beach was born with the opportunity to manage short term vacation rentals for some of our family-owned homes.  As we quickly jumped into this next adventure, it became our top goal to provide a unique, intimate, and simplified vacation rental experience for our guests so that all they had to do was reserve, arrive, and relax.  Vacation planning should not be stressful and details shouldn't be a concern.  Our guests should feel right at home from the moment they step into one of our unique, beach chic, and luxurious homes and immediately start enjoying all the island has to offer.  We take pride in our service and the meticulous maintenance of our homes. 

Come write the first chapter of your vacation story with us at Once Upon a Beach.  We are so happy to have you as our guest!
