The bungalow is perfect for two to four people. It’s decorated in some fun ways. It’s ideally situated near the beach, Sarasota, Palmetto and Lakewood Ranch. We found every thing we needed including full set up for the beach. With family in town we’ll be back.

Good location close to the water and downtown Bradenton. The attention to detail when decorating this craftsman bungalow is evident everywhere you look, it has been beautifully done. And the original woodwork adds so much character. It all made for a lovely, very comfortable stay.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay at Mango Cottage. We have regular professional pest control and take cleanliness very seriously. During Florida’s rainy season, an occasional palmetto bug (not a roach 😉) can make its way inside. In this case, it was just one, which you reported, and we handled it right away. We truly appreciate your understanding.

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Host profile image

As a native of Bradenton, I spent my childhood soaking up the sun and sand on the stunning beaches of Anna Maria Island or playing on the playground at the nearby Lewis Park. James, originally from Belfast, Ireland, and I crossed paths there, and we’re now excited to be splitting time between Northern Ireland and sunny Florida in the near future. We can't wait to share this slice of paradise with you and look forward to hosting you soon!

Why they chose this property

We chose our 1925 cottage in the Historic River District because it offered the perfect blend of charm, convenience, and connection to nature. Just a mile from downtown Bradenton, we loved being close to local shops, restaurants, and the riverwalk—while still enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of a tree-lined, historic neighborhood. A short drive takes us to the breathtaking trails of Robinson Preserve and the sugar-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island. This home felt like the perfect place to slow down, stay inspired, and feel rooted in Florida’s natural beauty and history.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home truly unique is its timeless character paired with all the comforts of a well-loved retreat. Original Heartwood Pine floors, classic craftsman trim, high ceilings, and a vintage clawfoot tub evoke the beauty of a bygone era. The private backyard offers a peaceful place to relax, while thoughtful touches—like provided beach chairs and towels, essential pantry and bathroom items, and all the creature comforts of home—ensure a stay that’s as effortless as it is memorable. It’s a place where history meets hospitality in the heart of the Historic River District.
