The boat was very responsive. Booking was easy. The location is perfect. The pool feels like a private haven and was very quiet during our stay. Everything you need for a day at the beach is provided. The kitchen is nicely outfitted.

Mello is an awesome place to stay. The unit was clean and well appointed. Having all the beach supplies, including a cooler, was great!The host was very responsive and helpful. Having designated parking is a big plus on the island. We look forward to our next stay.

The property is absolutely fantastic. We loved it. Only downside is it is next to a very busy public beach. We did reach out with a question about the rental bikes - as we could not find them - and received no response. But other than that, it was a fantastic stay!

Love the location and all the amenities. Great decor with a retro vibe. Nice pool area. Is next to public beach but easy to get space. And the shade at edge of beach is nice after a lot of sun.

We thought the holes in the blackout curtain in the bedroom was poor maintenence and the microwave surround made it unusable. There was a missing hang knob in the bathroom. The back porch light did not work. The front door needs a peep hole.

Clean, good AC, good location with the exception of being right next to a public beach. So you’re paying the exclusivity prices but not really getting the semi private experience I’ve had at other resorts on AMI on the beach

The location was to the highest of my expectations. The place was clean, beautiful, comfortable. The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were out of this world. It had new appliances, tableware, and glassware Everything you needed to cook ,beach towels umbrella cooler was provided and it was so close to the beach just a walking distance. I love the place. I was like wow when I walked in. The area is nice quiet in the evening and lots of place to go to and I love that they had a public up the road that you could walk to. This is going to be one of my favorite place to come to from now on the pool area was good also. This place just had everything grill if you wanted to cook Jenga to play outside cornhole lots of seating place around the facility.. both TV worked great one in the living room and one in the bedroom I was able to watch my program when it was time to settle down overall I give this place 100. It’s an excellent location . Don’t hesitate to book this location you won’t regret it. I loved everything about it.

Felt like we had our own private house on the beach. The amenities were top notch. The vibe of the whole place is so fun and trendy. My daughter left her stuffed toy in the room and the property manager said he would mail it home to us. Hoping he remembers to!
Loved the property. Close to the beach, you don't need to cross a street. Clean, bright and fun vibe. The pool was nice and warm. Not crowded. We loved Skinny's just across the street and next-door access to the public beach and cafe. Would recommend!

Everything was excellent just have a few suggestions. Handicap bar in shower would be nice and daily cleaning of the pool. Lots of bugs and debris from the trees in the pool. But overall an excellent property
