Gorgeous place. Only one thing.... make sure they understand that if you have a problem, it needs to be taken care of right away. Other than having too many people to call, very nice place. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Mello almost yellow

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We overall had a fine stay at the Mello. It was a cute place, right by the beach, and walking distance to some restaurants and shops. It was clean, the property was clean and the pool was relaxing and well managed. I am giving it 4 starts for a few reasons. The couch was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on. It goes with the vibe of the place but so uncomfortable. 2nd...the chairs provided for the beach are in fact lawn chairs from the 80's. Again went with the vibe of the Mello, but if you are a beach person this chair belongs in the back yard. Please get proper beach chairs. We ended up just laying on towels. We didn't have space to buy chairs and bring them back or we would have. I will also say this is right by a "busy" public beach access. If you want less people and more private this is not your place. We were there during "off" season, so I can only imagine what this would be like if it were a busy week. We loved AMI, and will definitely be back.

Cozy, Family-Friendly Stay Steps from the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend this property, especially for families looking for a comfortable place close to the beach.The property itself is small and cozy, which was exactly what we wanted. Our 3-bedroom, 2-bath unit had plenty of space for our family and was very nicely equipped. It truly had everything you would need for an extended stay. Parking was readily available, and we were provided with a parking pass, which made things easy.The location is probably one of the biggest highlights. You’re just steps from the beach and very close to Publix and other conveniences. Manatee Beach was **LIT** during our stay — it honestly looked like Cancun on spring break in the early 2000s with the sheer number of people out there! 😂 We had a great time.A couple of things could be improved. The property management experience felt very impersonal. All communication was by email, and we never saw or interacted with any staff during our stay other than the cleaning crew. We were traveling with **five girls under the age of 9**, so getting everyone packed and out by the 10:00 a.m. checkout time was a production. At 10:04, a cleaner knocked on our door, told us, “Checkout is at 10,” and walked away. There was no greeting, no “How was your stay?” or even a friendly acknowledgment. We understood that we were a few minutes past checkout, but the interaction could have been handled with a little more hospitality.Also, be prepared for the mosquitoes — they were **relentless**. Definitely bring bug spray!Those issues aside, the actual accommodations, location, parking, and proximity to the beach made this a great experience for our family. We would stay in the area again and really enjoyed having a spacious, well-equipped home base so close to everything.

Amazing Condo on the Beach!

We had an amazing stay at Mello! Three girlfriends and I enjoyed a long weekend at this condo and were completely blown away by the charm and amenities Mello offered. The condo was exactly as the pictures showed - maybe even better. The cute decor was consistent throughout the property and it was equipped with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone!

They provide beach chairs, beach towels, coffee pods, creamer, bath toiletries and lots of glassware. It was a perfect girls weekend for the six of us. We had breakfast next door at the beach concession and drinks. Will stay again. Highly recommend. Small so you may even have the pool to yourselves.

High Tide Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mello on the Beach was lovely; from the room decor, furnishings to the spotless accommodations. Nice to have everything you needed for a beach stay. Loved the outdoor family area and pool. We are very familiar with the area and we knew that part of the beach would be very crowded. Staying in the lower floor unit was great (with two young grandchildren) but the noise from upstairs neighbors walking was louder than we expected.

The Perfect Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We typically rent a house but gave the Mello a shot based on photos and Google Maps. It was amazing! Top-end appliances and fixtures (Hello Hansgrohe!), very clean, comfortable beds and set up! Three main points:1. The location is PRIME. Right off one of the most desirable beaches on the island!2. There are NO spices, staples or anything in the house - but the Publix is a short WALK away.3. There are no smart TV or streaming devices in the house, but wifi is great!

Two Week Stay - Would stay Again

We had a wonderful two-week stay and will stay again when possible. The unit was spotless and stocked with everything we needed, including kitchen essentials, beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. The retro décor gave it great charm, and the property felt welcoming throughout. While we didn’t personally use the grills, others did, and they were high-quality and well-maintained. The daily staff and property manager were very friendly and responsive.An area for improvement is the landscaping. Our parking spot was at the end of the lot up against overgrown weeds with sand spurs, which made getting in and out of the car tricky. Staff promptly addressed what they could of the issue, but it extended across the grounds, with visible weeds all around the property, dead palm fronds falling on the pool deck, and foliage dropping into the water, and poor pool circulation making pool cleanliness a challenge. Overhanging trees and bushes also encroached on walkways. The interior was so thoughtfully maintained that the outdoor spaces felt out of sync by comparison. Location was wonderful, very close to the beach. Walking distance to AMI Cafe and Skinny's can't be beat.

Great Place for a Family

The property is well located near a crowded beach. We had two grand parents, mom and dad, and a 1 year old and a three year old. The beach was great in the morning and evening. The pool is nice and a good place to hang out on the heat. Lots of restaurants are close, and a Publix is 5 minutes away. The staff is very responsive and nice. We had three rooms, which were nice. Only complaint is the pillows are large a hard. If you have a bad neck, bring your own. Three baths, perfect. The kitchen was excellent and had a good array of pots, pans, etc. it does need a baking pan for larger meals. There were supposed to be grills, so when we cooked in, it was difficult. Although the unit is in a busy and sometimes loud area, the windows and doors, because they are built for hurricanes, keep the rooms very quiet. Easy to get to beach if you don’t mind a 100 yard walk. We all would highly recommend MELLO for a beach getaway.
