Mango Cottage, we love you! This is such a special place and exceeded our expectations. It is the perfect beach cottage, comfortable, clean and perfect for us! The house is spacious and nicely decorated with a few stand out mentions I would have loved to have read.
1. The shower is outdoors but 100% private. It is large and is a great set up for washing off after a long day or taking a long luxurious shower looking at the stars. It was something I looked forward to.
2. In wall AC units. I was worried this might be enough as we run hot. However they kept the house very cool and the white noise kept the roosters from waking us up in the morning.
3. Our unit had two boogie bars and two chairs to use. Later in the week I realized the second cottage had lots of snorkel gear. Depending on your neighbor I would imagine they would be happy to share.
4. Two cottages on the property- I was hoping we would have good neighbors and it worked great. We never saw them, heard them laugh a few times while BBQ. You cannot see the neighbors, plants provide great privacy.
5. Proximity to beach- This was the WOW factor for us. Many people claim to be walking distance but it is further than expected. Not with Mango! It is one house to street, crosswalk, up one house and you are at the short trail. It is so close that the beach public parking is across the street from the house!
6. I didn't realize in the pictures that the office area is actually an extra room. It could easily be used as another room for a baby in a pack n play or even an air mattress.
I hope this review helps determine if Mango Cottage is right for you! Sitting in the backyard in the morning listening to birds then walking over to the beach was a great way to start our day :-) Thank you so much Yvonne!
