About this property

The Mango Cottage property backs right up to an organic farm and is located just a few miles from beautiful Anna Maria Island. We own both vacant lots on either side of the cottage for enhanced privacy. When is season we have Mangos falling from our 150 year old, massive Mango tree. (also a lycée tree)

Palma Sola Florida is a unique area on the west coast of Florida. It is nestled between Palma Sola Bay, Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This unique geography creates a very special climate, called a micro climate, that supports tropical fruit tree growth. Historically this area was a commercial tropical fruit tree plantation area supporting mangos, guavas, avocados, citrus and loquats.

The Mango Cottage was appropriately named because of the 150 year old mango tree that towers in the back yard. After having mango experts inspect the tree it is believed that this was one of the pioneer species that the early settlers planted in this area. It is truly the “Grandma” tree to Palma Sola! The coolest part is that it still produces fruit to this day. So come enjoy the rich history of Palma Sola and be just minutes to the Gulf beaches.

Our quaint cottage gives you the old Palma Sola Florida feel but has been well maintained and updated inside to assure a comfortable stay. It is a perfect house for your family vacation or any getaway with a short drive to the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island. Just down the road is the newly enhanced Robinson Preserve (it's free)a kayakers dream. Few miles from there is the DeSoto Preserve (with a fantastic mangrove walk and hidden beaches) hosted by the Department of the Interior's National Park Service (it's free)

After a day at the beach you will find the peace and quiet to be refreshing and relaxing at The Mango Cottage.

Perfect House, Perfect Location

The Mango Cottage is the definition of "vacation mode". The house is beautifully decorated and furnishings are neat and comfortable. The bedrooms have plenty of space and storage. We only used the main bedroom and that mattress is very comfortable. The only item we missed having in the kitchen is a pyrex type dish for use in the microwave. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are very friendly. We really enjoyed being so close to the Robinson Nature Preserve for walking and biking. The Anna Maria beaches are close and absolutely beautiful. It is really nice that beach chairs, umbrella and towels are also provided at the cottage. The host is very easy to reach and responsive. We truly enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to visit again soon.

About the host

Hosted by John and Liz Mc Manamy

Liz and I are transplants to Florida from Venice Beach California. Liz is Mexican and I'm a Maniac (as in Maine). We built a triplex at Venice Beach decades ago and rented out two apartments via Vacation Rentals websites since 2015. Interesting fact is that we had a two bedroom which seemed to attract Europeans at the end of US vacations and a one bedroom that catered to US vacationers, frequently parents of Venice residents (average age in Venice is 31). We bought the Mango house, last summer, as we fell in love with it's charm. We've spent from Sept to Dec 2021 getting fully renovated/updated for guests. It was a chore!!! If you have sea legs you'll feel right at home, the place is 100 years old!!. We'll do whatever we can to make it a great comfortable stay. If you kayak just up the street is the Robinson Preserve. Palma Sola is an old part of town. Sit on a beach at Anna Maria across the causeway. We stroll the beach at night, incredible experience.

Why they chose this property

It's charming and very very quiet. Disclaimer: sometimes you'll hear a rooster! A quick walk of a few hundred yards takes you the Bay of Anna Maria-simply charming and so serene. I like to walk down to the bay at night after dinner.

What makes this property unique

First and foremost we take pride in cleanliness. Not to high light the fact it is old and charming it's spotless clean and fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives.
