Check out the Mango House video to see more photos of Mango House!

Mango House underwent extensive interior and exterior renovations after Hurricane Ian and was not damaged by Hurricanes Helene or Milton. Please check out the Mango House calendar for specific dates and thank you for your interest in Mango House! **Important Note: Although VRBO states that pets are welcome at VRBO properties through their current national marketing, that is not the case for Mango House. We do not allow pets at Mango House. We apologize to those that this impacts. - Jay and Laura Cerny**

Mango House is a well-appointed modern 2BR 2BA stilt house duplex with an open floor plan, 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 Conservation Foundation (SCCF). The view West from the backyard screened-in lanai is across our beautiful lake into another protected wildlife refuge owned by the 'Ding' Darling Wildlife Sanctuary. Sunsets viewed from the Mango House lanai are absolutely breathtaking.

The spacious Mango House master bedroom has a king-sized bed, private bathroom and a private balcony. The Mango House guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, separate bathroom and a private balcony. Both bed mattresses were replaced new in 2023. With a large desk area, the guest bedroom can also double as an office. Both bedrooms are light and airy, with plenty of window space and sliding glass doors leading to each balcony.

Mango House is configured with a large living area where the kitchen, dining room, and living room are all open to each other - with four sliding glass doors that access the large Mango House Lanai.

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 and more...

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 several aluminum beach cruiser bicycles. Bikes have baskets, helmets and locks. There is also a bicycle trailer. We also provide numerous books (a full library with over 350 titles in three bookcases), numerous puzzles, games, and 80+ DVD's to help you enjoy your stay. Another "essential" is our outdoor Hot/Cold shower (under the backyard lanai).

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 Sanibel Recreation Center are less than 1 mile away.

Mango House has Xfinity high-speed Wireless Internet. Email your friends or conduct business wireless from anywhere you wish - including the Mango House Lanai! We also have a large flat screen panel TV in the living room with a DVD player. This is compatible with streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Max, ESPN, Disney, etc...

Mango house sits atop a huge garage with ample room for car storage. We have several coconut palms, numerous saw palms, and a mature mango tree (that survived Hurricane Ian!). Help yourself!

Mango House is exactly as described-clean, convenient location, well appointed etc. We stayed 5 weeks and the kitchen, washer/dryer, garage space for bikes was what we needed. Sanibel is still recovering but bike paths, beaches, one grocery, several restaurants are open. Communication with the host was excellent.

It is spotless and has everything you could want or need. Communication with the owner/manager is easy and responsive. We never had an issue. Everything is as described and went perfectly. If the property was directly on the beach is the only way it could be better!

I want to thank you for sharing your home. It was the perfect getaway. The Mango House is stocked with everything that was needed (I way over packed). It was very clean and looked to be freshly painted (inside and out). It had plenty of storage (loved the Ikea closet system in master bedroom). I would highly recommend and will definitely visit again. Gorgeous sunsets from lanai!

Nice layout; awesome lanai overlooking sunsets toward the lake. The place was quiet and well maintained. The beach is a 5 min bike ride away and is very quiet and lovely. 400 Rabbits Restaurant is a close walk up Rabbit road for Margaritas and Mexican food. The Rabbit Road bike path is a short walk away also. We would stay here again.

The Mango House was the perfect place for me to work/vacation from. I loved watching the sun come up and seeing the birds in the backyard pond. Sunsets were amazing. Mango house had everything I needed. A JN Ding Darling bike ride was almost a daily occurrence along with the beautiful beach, just a short bike ride away. It was quiet, clean and the beds were comfy. Having the garage was a giant plus for me. I was lucky enough to be able to meet the owners and their family. Everything went smoothly and I will be back next year. Loved it and already missing it.

Mango House is conveniently located near bike paths, nature preserves (five minutes from Ding Darling), shopping and dining. Private beach access is an enjoyable walk or a short bike ride away. Keep an eye out as you cross the Sanibel River for alligators or a native bird feeding frenzy! Choose a book from one of the well stocked bookshelves and enjoy the screened in lanai for a good read or afternoon siesta. The lake behind the property comes to life as the sun rises and sets over the island. The bike path that runs along the lake is excellent for wildlife viewing and makes for an easy ride to the beach. The owner did not intrude and was very easy to work with. We especially enjoyed the waterfall and landscaping features installed by the adjoining duplex owner, who is an extremely talented landscape designer. The outdoor shower is wonderful!

Wonderful quiet place
Wonderful quiet place
A great benefit of staying in Mango House is that it is very quiet and we particularly enjoyed the wild life in the small lake behind us. WE also like the simplicity of the furnishing etc. And a great library of best sellers!

Mango House was a perfect stay for Sanibel. I loved the funky and colorful decorating, which made it a happy place to be. We thoroughly enjoyed the huge porch overlooking the lake with all of the wildlife flying around the place. Seeing the ducks mating was quite the spectacle and seeing Bernie, the alligator. There is a fence between the lake and house. The mattresses were both brand new and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, which was good because we did lots of cooking there while watching the lake through the sliding glass doors. The TV was also new, which made watching the Clemson win even better. We went to the beach 2 ways. One, biking down Rabbit Road, where the drivers were very courteous and drove around us. Two, going toward Sanibel-Captiva Road, then taking the beautiful Rabbit Road West trail, which is behind the lake. The private beach has the BEST shelling on all of the island. We know because we tried them all. We found more unusual and rare shells on this beach, including 2 Alphabet Cones and a large Whelk shell. There were few people on this beach and all are close by home owners who were very friendly. No mass tourist invasion on this beach. We met Jay and Laura and found them very helpful and charming and always quick with answers to any questions we had. Their favorite restaurant, RC Otter’s, was ours, too. They had lots of great recommendations. Having the free, well maintained bikes and chairs was very convenient. Another wonderful feature was the nearness to Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge. We had a senior pass and went every day at low tide or around 4:00. We saw beautiful rosette spoonbills fluffing their wings. What a sight! We cried when we had to leave and are definitely coming back next December.
