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.

We love the vintage home with its interesting art, decor, and quiet setting. The king bed is quite comfortable, the kitchen is adequate for simple meals. We found the location provided easy access to restaurants, shopping, the island, and our family members in Bradenton. Very nice experience!

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.

This historic home is oozing with charm! The home has well curated decor & is generously stocked with items. We loved sitting on the porch swing sipping our coffee. It’s a good location close to downtown Bradenton, AMI & 1/2 mile to Publix.

Beautiful and quaint house; lovely host.This house has so much charm and is located in the perfect spot in Bradenton. To the west, the beaches and islands, to the east, downtown (with a wonderful farmers market on Saturdays).We would definitely stay here again. The house has all we needed, including a wonderful sunroom off the master bedroom.And Karen is truly a special kind of person; warm, kind, and helpful. Unique and perfect as a host.

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.
