All three buildings composing the Mango Inn were built between 1915 and 1920 in a res-
idential area. As a result, this lushly landscaped inn today boasts one of the most secluded
settings around. Only three blocks from town and a 15-minute walk to the beach, accom-
modation ranges from single rooms (many with private entrances) to an adorable cottage
with French doors opening on to the heated pool.
