— WHAT GUESTS LOVE —



“This is our third time staying at the Coco & Mango cottages… They have thought of everything and every detail of the cottage is gorgeous. The pool almost makes you forget you’re only a walk away from the ocean with how dreamy it is.”



“Coco is the perfect little beach bungalow. Walking distance to both restaurants and the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. It was adorably decorated and had great outdoor space to further relax.”



“The house is clean, lots of great amenities, cozy, perfect location… and the pool was awesome. We can’t wait to come back!”



— BEDROOM & SLEEPING —



Retreat to a comfortable king-size bed after a day in the Florida sunshine. The primary bedroom also offers ample closet space, a dresser, nightstands and thoughtful touches designed to help you unpack and settle in.



The living room includes a queen sleeper sofa, allowing Coco Cottage to accommodate up to four guests.



— LIVING & KITCHEN —



Coco's open living space combines relaxed coastal style with the comforts of home. Stretch out on the sofa, stream a favorite show on the large Smart TV, or gather around the counter while dinner is being prepared.



The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked for your stay, whether you're making a quick breakfast before the beach or enjoying dinner at home. Our guests regularly mention just how well-equipped Coco is—one of the little details we're especially proud of.



— POOL & BACKYARD —



This is where vacation mode really begins.



Step outside to the heated saltwater pool, surrounded by tropical landscaping and designed for long, lazy Florida afternoons. A shallow sun shelf makes it easy to cool off while soaking up the sunshine, while loungers, umbrellas and pool floats invite you to stay awhile.



As evening falls, the backyard transforms with colorful lighting for a completely different poolside atmosphere.



The pool and backyard are shared exclusively with guests of our neighboring sister property, Mango Cottage.



Seasonal complimentary pool heating is offered October 15–May 1, with the pool typically set between 80–85°F. Actual water temperature can vary with outdoor weather conditions.



— OUTDOOR LIVING —



Coco Cottage gives you even more room to embrace the Florida lifestyle with a large, fully fenced private side patio just off the kitchen.



Surrounded by tropical greenery and two beautiful coconut palms, this secluded outdoor space feels like your own little island hideaway. Stretch out in the hammock, gather around the patio table for an alfresco meal, or settle into the comfortable lounge area with your morning coffee or an evening cocktail.



And when you're ready for a swim, step over to the heated saltwater pool and tropical backyard, shared exclusively with guests of neighboring Mango Cottage.



It's the best of both worlds: your own private outdoor retreat plus a resort-style pool just steps away.



— BEACH DAYS, MADE EASY —



The Gulf is just a short 3-minute walk away, so going to the beach doesn't need to be an all-day production.



We provide the gear, too: beach towels, 4 chairs, a cooler, a beach wagon, umbrella, sunscreen and beach toys for the little ones.



Load up the wagon, walk to the beach access and you'll have your toes in the sand in minutes. Please ensure to return all items after use so they're ready for your next trip to the sand.



— TRAVELING WITH LITTLE ONES —



We provide a Pack ’n Play and highchair, along with safety doorknob covers for the bedroom and kitchen doors.



— WALK TO THE BEST OF IRB —



One of Coco's greatest luxuries is being able to leave the car behind.



Gulf Blvd is only a couple of minutes away, putting local coffee shops, restaurants, tropical drinks and live music within easy walking distance. Guest favorites including Cafe de Paris, Beach Wave, Grove Surf Cafe & The Turkish Flame are nearby.



Spend the morning at the beach, wander home for a swim, then walk out for dinner and drinks. That's the Coco Cottage version of vacation.
