About this property

Mello on the Beach - Looney Dunes

Nostalgic, eclectic, and built to recharge. Looney Dunes is a one-bedroom one-bathroom pet-friendly vacation rental on Anna Maria Island. Formerly the Aquarius Motel and then Anna Maria Island Beach resort, Mello on the Beach is located directly on Manatee Beach and the Gulf of Mexico. This vibrant condo includes a colorful kitchenette, terrace access and private patios for serious mello-ing out.
Rooms are perfectly appointed with fully equipped kitchens, full-size washers and dryers, clothes steamers, and even pet accessories! Guests are provided with an amenity starter kit that includes shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Additional items provided include dishwasher pods, laundry soap, and k-cup coffee service.
Mello on the Beach has everything you need to enjoy a truly relaxing vacation. All rentals are equipped with pool and beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, personal coolers, and much more! Take a dip in our refreshing pool which includes use of lounge chairs, umbrellas, as well as bathroom and shower facilities. After your long day soaking up the sun, fun awaits the whole family on the activity lawn. Take in a game of cornhole, ladderball, or just sit back and relax by the firepit.
Want to explore all Anna Maria Island has to offer? Mello on the Beach has all your transportation needs covered. Take a short stroll across the street to enjoy breakfast at the Holmes Beach Café where locals come to experience some of the best pancakes Manatee County has to offer. Come for breakfast but stay for lunch, shopping, or a rum cocktail at their popular tiki bar. Just a hop in the other direction is another local favorite; Skinny’s offering the best burgers in the area. Looking to venture a little further? Mello on the beach offers on-site bike access for all our guests. These bicycles are one of the best ways to explore the beautiful and vibrant Anna Maria Island. And if biking isn’t your thing, just hop on the Anna Maria Island free trolley which runs 7 days a week from historic Bean Point to the south end of Coquina Beach.

Mellowing at Mello on the Beach
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: My husband and I loved our stay at Mello on the Beach! It was exactly as advertised and the perfect place for spending a few days on the beach, which is just a few steps away. Loved that our second floor unit had great views of palm trees and the beach. The decor is bright& modern. Very welcoming and clean. Well equipped with king size bed, extra sheets &pillows, washer/dryer, full kitchen, including pots, pans, dishes, glasses, toaster, microwave, Keurig, blender, ice making fridge and even a dishwasher. Towels were good quality, and beach/pool towels also provided, as well as beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. The grounds are well kept including the pool which is heated. Easy access to supermarket, drug store, and many restaurants (Sandbar,Pizza Social & Isola Bella Italian were our favorites.) A big thank you to the management and staff for the birthday treats and bottle of wine! We hope to come back next year!
