the mango cottage
(separate structure from our main house, "the mango house")
as you arrive at our well lit 3-car driveway (with the only video camera on the premises) you will open the gate to our winding, tropical garden walkway (evenings are lit by a vintage peace sign) with patches of sunshine beaming through the stately old mango trees (We have 5 mango trees on the property.)
the cottage entry has a private patio area with an attractive modern divider (offering a mini-gas griddle for outside grilling upon request) with 2 lounge chairs and a table for 4, shaded under our mango colored umbrella The scenery is "guarded" by our metal eagle with a 4' wing span (formerly the finial from the original Pompano Beach bank) overlooking a lush, green back yard, lone mango tree and a 10' yellow Elder flowering bush (almost) always in bloom. At night, our 4' hanging star and a canopy of tiny lights will brighten your Florida evening.
once you enter the mango cottage, you are immediately impressed with its vaulted ceilings, invigorating "whisper quiet" air conditioning, calming window views and fresh floridian decor, featuring some of the artwork from watercolorist, photographer and property owner, john coté
the bedroom has an incredibly comfortable king size bed with (4 king pillows) soft linens, a seating area and large walk-in closet There is also a large wooden luggage bench suitable for 2 carry-ons. NOTE: Feel free to move luggage bench into walk-in closet, if you prefer.
make sure you utilize the bluetooth (homewerks (mangocottage) for your music pleasure, accessed in the bathroom! music icon must be selected in bathroom light pad Your selections can easily be enjoyed throughout cottage.
in the living area, there is a modern "florida orange" chair near some of john's watercolors and across from the roomy bahamian-style futon (with a queen firm mattress, also with soft linens), which overlooks john's newest panoramic photograph - "6 storms" from flamingo, fl, at the cottage entry - yes, john captured from his vantage point, actually 6 separate, darkened rainclouds storming all in a row against the wild open flamingo waterway!
part of any conversation, will be relaxing at the modern bar-height dining table for 4, along side of the lit bar with its wine glasses for 4 and tropical beverage napkins perfect for entertaining, to watch a movie or concert in this, your cozy mango cottage!
the mango cottage includes wifi, 2 tv's, a full kitchen with large and deep stainless steel sink with a mini 18" dishwasher and tropical fine dinnerware The view from the kitchen sink window and bedroom window is the lush green, impressive mango tree + a blossoming tree with lovely fragrance. The large mango tree offers a hammock (upon request).

by the way, we offer our very own frozen organic mango pureé from our bountiful mango crop so you can create your own tropical smoothie (blender provided) We would be happy to deliver our frozen mango packets to your freezer upon your request while still available.
in addition, the mango cottage offers 2 beach chairs (stored by gate hose station), a sand umbrella with shoulder strap for easy carrying and 2 black "turtle" beach towels rolled and placed inside the hot pink beach tote to use during your stay (stored on the hooks in the utility room) At the inside of the cottage gate and walkway, there is a hose for your personal use to wash off sand from feet, chairs, etc...
