Mango House - A Sanibel Gem! - Aug, Oct, Nov, Dec months in 2025 Available!
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!
Note: Another (longer) 5 minute 58 second Mango House video is located on the YouTube website. If you wish to view it, go to the YouTube website and search using the keywords 'mango house sanibel' (in that order)
