Mango Inn
Lake Worth, Florida

Luckily we arrived in town early and ended up on a scenic route that led us to the Municipal Pier. The beach and water were gorgeous. We spent a couple of hours taking pictures and catching up on some paper work.

Then we went the few blocks to the cottage at the Mango Inn, located in the heart of the Historical Ditrict. The owners were unfortunately not available, too busy getting married in the Dominican Republic and taking a honeymoon! But we could not have been taken care of any better. Erin's parents were great, showed us the Inn and Mike took a million more pictures!

The entry way features a flower-covered trellis arch. There were no artificial flowers anywhere. Each room is named after a flower so each had daily fresh flowers in vases. It was very apparent that Erin and Bo have paid attention to every detail of a guest's visit. The rooms are large and each has a private bath.

The pool area was heavily decorated with floral arrangements and enclosed, much like the courtyards we encountered in St. Augustine. There was a private sitting area outside each of the ground floor rooms, the cottage and the "little" house next to the cottage.

We retired to the cottage to download several hundred photos and much needed catching up on listings. We had a great four-poster queen bed, TV/VCR, videos available, a kitchenette complete with dishes, fridge and microwave, and a telephone.

Breakfast the next morning was a treat! We were served cantelope with a dollop of yogurt, a heavenly orange-cream-cheese stuffed French toast with orange sauce and bacon, all served outside overlooking the pool. Fresh orange juice, coffee and Lipton tea (Mike's favorite) were also available.

We had met Erin last year at the Inn Route B&B Conference and were sorry to have missed her.....but she didn't need to worry! Her parents did a fantastic job of innsitting for her while she was away.
