Family vacation at the Banana Cabana

Our family of 8 stayed here for 5 nights. We had a great stay with a beautiful beach view and pool/hot tube use. The house had a lot of extra items needed. The only suggestion would be to upgraded the living room furniture, it was very worn out. We definitely plan to stay again though!

Chris and Leah S.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
Our 3-night stay was marred by a complete lack of accountability from Carolina Beach Realty. We arrived Friday to a unit that was visibly dirty and in need of a deep clean. More importantly, two major advertised amenities—the hot tub and the grill—were completely inoperable.Despite reaching out immediately via the management portal, email, text, and voicemail, we never spoke to a single person. They finally sent a technician on our last day who left a handwritten note stating he "wasn't a hot tub person" and couldn't fix it.It is clear that once payment is collected, the management's interest in the guest experience ends. This property has potential, but until the owners address the maintenance and the management company’s lack of communication, I would strongly advise staying elsewhere.

Good Home and Awesome View!!

Good home and great location! Loved the pool and hot tub!! Beds were very comfortable. Elevator was a life saver in getting the food and luggage to the upper floors. The house could use a deep cleaning though.

Dirty house

Beautiful home, horrible condition. The entire house needs a DEEP clean and new coat of paint. Hot tub didn’t work the first night, repair man came and fixed it but didn’t provide any instructions for how to use so the rest of the trip it was too hot to use. One of the showers was clogged and could not be used. Bedspreads were very old and worn out. Not worth the premium you pay to stay ocean front.
