The Happy Mango is wonderful, the pool area and hot tub were great. We had 3 couples and enjoyed relaxing by the pool with plenty of seating. Pool floaties were an added bonus. The house was very clean and functional. The kitchen swings were fun.

Happy Mango!

Great Vacation spot. Hit each of the beaches in the area from Siesta Key to Lido. Close to grocery stores and lots of restaurants. Everything is 30 minutes or less. Slept in each day, hit the beaches and came back to end our in the pool. Pool and spa were great. The home was super clean and in safe quiet area. Highly recommend. We spoke to the owner a few times ans she was great.

Florida Trip 2024.

My family and I had a great time at the Happy Mango. The place was spacious, everyone got their bedrooms and the pool/spa was great. My parents don't travel to often but they loved it there as they were able to just relax, swim and watch TV whenever. It was also a short drive to the nearby beaches and the quiet neighborhood was a plus. My wife and I like to go to Florida at least once a year when our son is on his spring break so we'll definitely keep this place in mind when booking our next trip!

Amazing time

Our party consisted of two couples, two teenagers, a two year old and a grandpa, we all had the best holiday ever, the house is very good full of games for all ages to have fun. The beds are very comfortable and the house is very spacious, the cleanliness surprised me as it was the cleanest house we have ever rented. The house is in a very quiet and safe condominium, 20 minutes from the most beautiful beaches in the area. Brenda is a very attentive hostess who, even though she had a wedding to go to, responded very quickly and even gave us tips on the best places to go. We will definitely stay there again and we can't wait to come back!!!

A perfect family getaway

Brenda’s place was one of the best rentals we have stayed at while on vacation. We were super impressed by how well stocked the house was in the bathrooms and kitchen. There were also plenty of pool towels for us to use for the week. It was also one of the few places in the area we could find with large enough beds for everyone (3 kings and 1 queen) with the bonus of actually being comfortable. The pool area was well stocked with floaties and the oversized connect 4 was a fun surprise. I also really appreciated the welcome guide Brenda provided with her recommendations for things to do in the area. I used it all week for ideas and tips. The house is centrally located near the airport, stores, Jungle Gardens, and the beaches are only a 15-20 minute drive. We had a wonderful relaxing time and would highly recommend if you are looking for the perfect family getaway near Sarasota.

Hands down amazing home!

We recently stayed at The Happy Mango for our family vacation with our young kids. The whole property was very clean, the pool was warm, there was plenty of space for everyone and the home had everything we needed and then some. Having a highchair and pack’n’play was so nice! The available beach gear made traveling to the beaches (which were very close by and beautiful) with young children much less stressful and fun. The house had all the basics you can think of and the host was very welcoming and communicative. The app/guidebook with the home answered all questions in relation to the home, the area, etc and was utilized a few times. We spent most of our time playing in the pool and on the covered dining area outside next to the pool. The neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. Would highly recommend and plan to stay here again in the future!

November at Happy Mango

This property is better than the photos depict. Very spacious with the perfect layout for my older children to have their space and to have the lenai and pool as the heart off the kitchen dining room. Great space for both indoor and outdoor family time. Only issue we had was the heater not working appropriately (after a tropical storm hit - not the owners fault at all) however communication with Brenda was always prompt and she had it fixed quickly so only a few days were lost of use. Lovely property, fantastic communication with the owner - she truly wants you to enjoy her property and checks in to ensure things are as expected. We enjoyed our brothers wedding and the extra week with our family in this house that is so close to everything - would definitely rent again!!
