Mango House is new to the rental market. Mango House is an absolutely gorgeous, newly remodeled (2008) 2BR 2BA stilthouse with an open floorplan, located on its own private lake. The view East from the front of the house is into a protected wildlife refuge owned by the Sanibel/Captiva Conservaton Foundation (SCCF). The view West from the back screened-in lanai is across our beautiful lake into another protected wildlife refuge owned by the "Ding" Darling Wildlife Sanctuary. Sunsets from the Mango House lanai are absolutely breathtaking.

The Mango House Beach is unspoiled and secluded. Only private homes have access to our beach - No condominiums or resorts - so it is never crowded. The sand is clean and pure. The shelling is spectacular! Share the beach with osprey, pelicans, herons, egrets, sandpipers, dolphins, sea turtles etc.....

Mango House is centrally located to island shopping and restaurants with easy access to bike paths that cover the entire island. Our secluded beach with private access is 1/2 mile away. The Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary entrance is even closer. Both the San-Cap Conservation Foundation and new Sanibel Recreation Center are less than 1 mile away.

Email your friends or conduct business wireless from anywhere you wish! Mango House now has high-speed Wireless Internet. We also have premium TV cable as well as three flat-screen panel TVs, each with DVDs.

Mango house sits atop a huge garage with ample room for covered car or boat storage. It has several mature coconut palms, numerous saw palms, and a mature orange tree. Help yourself! New in 2008 are mango, avocado, grapefruit, key lime, and lemon trees.

Leave all of your beach gear and bikes behind (!) as Mango house comes with all the beach and recreation equipment (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, shovels, pails, mask/fins/snorkels, noodles, tennis rackets, frisbees, etc....) as well as 5 new aluminum beach cruiser bicycles. Bikes have baskets, helmets and locks. There is also a new bicycle trailer. We also provide numerous books (a full library with over 350 titles in three bookcases), numerous puzzles, games, 80+ DVD's, and an IPod docking stereo to help you enjoy your stay. Mango House will truly be a memorable experience.....

  • What a great place to stay... we have been to Sanibel many times and this location is perfect. A short bike ride from the beach with great access, a place to lock up the chairs for your trip, and a wonderful beach away from it all! Mango House is beautifully decorated, everything you need in the kitchen, and a great view from the screened-in porch. Jay and Laura are great people to deal with and have everything you need for a wonderful Sanibel vacation.... Melanie

  • Mango House was a delightful place to stay. The beach was secluded and wonderful for shelling and viewing wildlife. We enjoyed watching dolphins playing in the waves. The house was fully equiped with beach gear as well as in-house entertainment. There was an extensive collection of books, games, and movies. The kitchen had everything you could need. The beds were comfortable and the whole place was very clean. We enjoyed watching birds from the screened porch. I would definitely rent this one again.

  • Mango House in Sanibel, Florida was a perfect warm weather retreat for my companion and myself. The house itself is bright, open, and cheery. It is tastefully furnished, with comfortable beds and seating areas. Whether you cook in, or heat up takeout, the kitchen has everything you might need. My next visit I will know not to bring any reading materials as there are several large bookcases filled with an assortment of books, for at least a month of reading. There are movies and games galore, I have never stayed in a beach house that was so completely furnished that you only need bring your swimsuit and camera. Relaxing on the lanai and watching the herons, egrets, and other birds fly across the lake was one of my favorite activities. Of course the beach, which never had more than 2 other people in sight at any time, was another favorite place. A short bike ride away, it was beautiful from early morning to the daily sunset watching hour. Since the island is so flat, bike riding is very easy, even for a novice. The house is equipped with bicycles, beach chairs, and other paraphernalia, and you can carry a lot of shells back in your bike basket!

  • We had an outstanding vacation in December at the "Mango House". Looking out at the freshwater lake, we were totally relaxed and surrounded by a natural wild life preserve. The owners were very friendly and had everything we needed.. even binoculars to watch the native birds from our lanai. Furnished with everything new...IKEA Danish modern in tropical colors, complete kitchen, new bikes, a large, private backyard, very close to one of the world's best beaches, spectacular sunsets from the large lanai and the beach, grandchildren loved every minute! Shelling was the best. Close to everything..no need to leave the island. Will be back. Barbara Hamilton Atlanta, GA

  • We had a WONDERFUL time staying at the Mango House in January 2008. Lots of room, great location, fun on the bikes, quiet, close to the beach. Looking forward to staying again next year! Loved the sunsets and the lake.
