My sister, niece, daughter-in-law and I stayed at the Mango Street March 1 -8 2021. We booked this on the Airbnb app and although it was a bit pricey, the reviews on TripAdvisor were great. The reviews on TripAdvisor also led us to believe we would be having a complimentary gourmet breakfast every morning however that is no longer the case. Dan and Tree sold the property in Feb 2021 and there is no longer a complimentary breakfast. When talking with a couple of people who work there, we found out a corporation has purchased the Mango Street inn. Aside from that initial disappointment we had a great stay. The location is a block and a half one way from the marina, a block-and-a-half the other way from the beach and about a 10-minute walk to the main shopping/dining area. The Mango Street Inn is a collection of small cottage type condos connected by a very nice deck with cool furniture, fountains and plants. Every cottage has beach chairs, beach umbrellas and a cooler for the beach. There is one wagon for the complex that you can load and take your stuff to the beach. We had no trouble having access to the wagon. There are three bikes available for guests to use. We had a two-bedroom one-bathroom cottage and there was enough space for the four of us but it is fairly small. I'm assuming new management will make some changes and the first thing they might want to do is get new mattresses because my mattress was quite uncomfortable. The furniture is a bit dated, the kitchen is well equipped and they start you off with soap, shampoo paper towels and toilet paper but you are expected to buy your own when that runs out. There was coffee that perhaps someone left and a bowl with packets of sugar, salt and pepper. Guests have access to the laundry room and there are a couple of washers and dryers, laundry soap and it is not coin operated. Again this may change since they are under new management. Guests will find plenty of beach towels in the laundry room. In the living room there is a cabinet with several games and a couple decks of cards. We enjoyed playing games on the deck in the evening. We had a great stay, great weather and I would stay at the Mango Street Inn if I return to Fort...
Read moreAfter deciding to change up our annual summer trip to Key West this year and visit Fort Myers Beach first, we luckily came across the Mango Street Inn. My wife wanted to stay as close to the beach as possible and I wanted to make sure we were a short ride from the Key West Express ferry terminal for our early morning departure, we found the perfect spot just a 3-minute walk from the beautiful white sands at the beach and about a 5-minute ride to the ferry.||Even better than the location and the very comfortable accommodations are the “host and hostess with the mostest”, Dan and Tree. As soon as we set foot on the property, we felt like we had known them for many years. Aside from the kind and friendly hospitality, Dan is a superb chef and his breakfasts served in the courtyard each morning are as creative as they are delicious. ||Tree goes the extra mile..or ten..to make sure guests have all they need and then some. After getting us settled in, she gave us a quick tour of our room and let us know all of the best places to eat, drink, shop, and visit within an easy walk from the Inn. As an added bonus, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers, and various sunscreens, etc., are available to guests who want to head across the street to the enjoy the sun, sand, and surf.||Our quiet and comfortable room allowed us three nights of some of the most restful sleep we’ve had in quite awhile and we awoke refreshed and ready just in time for Dan’s culinary creations. The Inn’s rescue critters, Tico the dog and Flip Flop the black cat, also will check in with visitors and let you tell them your problems...if they’re in the mood to listen 😎.||We’re definitely planning on returning at our earliest convenience to explore Fort Myers Beach a bit more in depth and hopefully will be fortunate enough to find availability at this fantastic little gem. Thanks again, Dan and Tree! You’re the...
Read moreWe arrived late for our stay at the Mango Street Inn and were greeted with a wonderful aroma—which we later learned was a night blooming jasmine. Our room was clean and surprisingly large with a living room, full kitchen-dining area, bedroom and bathroom. The Inn consists of two buildings, each have six “apartments”—they are much more than “rooms”—facing each other with a tropical courtyard between. The courtyard was a great place to find a quiet space alone or a gathering spot to meet other guests. Dan, owner/chef, prepared sumptuous breakfasts that always offered a unique twist which had us looking forward to the next day’s surprise. His wife, Tree—who just happens to be a wine sommelier—is a delightful and gracious hostess whose sincere desire is to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. My wife and I just happened to be there on the week of Thanksgiving for Dan and Tree’s annual Thanksgiving feast. About 35 guests and friends came together for a pitch-in dinner featuring Dan’s deboned turkeys rolled with a variety of dressings. It was a highlight of our week in Ft. Meyers Beach! When we wanted to go to the beach, just steps away, we were given beach towels and chairs to make our day on the sand perfect. Located less than 100 feet from the Inn are three delectable places to grab coffee, a bagel or biscuit and ice cream—Tuckaway Café, Heavenly Biscuit and Royal Scoop. The Mango Street Inn was a great find—far more than just a...
