Pet Friendly 2 bed 2 bath beach cottage, 1 block back from pet friendly beach

Hey, if you’re looking for a chill beach escape, you have to check out our cozy Old Florida beach cottage, the Banana Cabana, down in Beacon Hill / St. Joe Beach! It’s this super cute one-story place just steps from the pet-friendly beach — perfect if you’re craving some downtime without the crowds.

Picture this: you’re sipping coffee on the screened-in porch, feeling that salty ocean breeze, or walking the white sandy shore with your pup by your side. Total bliss, right? Plus, there’s plenty of parking, so you can easily come and go as you explore all the cool little spots along the Forgotten Coast.

Inside, the place has everything you need — a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, glassware, a drip AND K-Cup coffee maker (yes, we’ve got you covered), and all the essentials if you want to cook up something at home. There are two comfy bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, so you get both convenience and privacy. And after a long beach day? Kick back with your favorite shows on the Smart TV, hop on the high-speed WiFi, or toss your sandy clothes in the washer/dryer — super handy if you’re staying a while.

The fenced yard is a dream if you’re bringing your dog — they’ll have a safe spot to play while you hang out on one of the two big screened-in porches. Whether you’re reading, eating, or just soaking in the laid-back vibes, it’s the perfect outdoor chill space.

Honestly, between the unbeatable location, modern comforts, and that classic Old Florida charm, the Banana Cabana is an awesome getaway if you want to experience the best of the Gulf Coast.

Got any questions? Hit me up anytime! Go ahead and book your stay — you’re gonna make some unforgettable beach memories here.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Just Right!!

The house is exactly as advertised. The side porch was the perfect place for morning coffee. Quiet neighborhood. The bathroom and showers are updated and very nice! The kitchen is updated with stainless appliances, but the house had the charm of a Florida beachhouse. Only about a block to the beach. We hope to return!

Very easy self check in. The property is clean and stocked with basic necessities. This cozy cottage is quiet in a safe and friendly neighborhood. There are two screened porches and a fenced yard for spending time outside. There is a small library to select a book and enjoy your escape! The beach is right out the window. Great walkability on the beach and around town.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is clean and cozy, kitchen is well stocked for all cooking needs, and the neighborhood is quiet. It is just steps away to a beautiful, dog-friendly beach. We enjoyed riding the bikes provided, and communication with the owner was excellent.

Just a Slice of Heaven

We had spent a winter on 30A in Blue Mountain in 2018. Took a trip to Apalachicola and drove thru Mexico Beach and St. Joe Beach. My husband made the comment that if we ever came to Florida again, this is where we would stay. Back in Wisconsin we watched in horror as Hurricane Michael destroyed the area. Early this year we were feeling the need for a beach vacation, so we checked this area again and were happy to see that it was coming back to life. We have spent the entire month of October in The Banana Cabana and we both agree that it has been one of our favorite vacations. The Banana is the quintessential beach cottage. It is not a carbon copy of the new, indistinguisable from one another, beach homes that permeate the area since the hurricane. Banana is loaded with charm and every possible convenience. We were able to prepare full meals without issue. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms modern and beautiful. There is also a cute little loft with 2 twin beds. There are 2 screened porches with comfortable furniture. One even has a porch swing! The porches became an extension of the living space. The yard is fenced and our pup spent many hours hunting geckos. There are beach chairs and a beach wagon to haul everything to the beach which is a very short walk away. We saw dolphins, pelicans and ghost crabs. There was a fenced in area where turtle eggs waited to hatch. The neighbors to the Banana were extremely friendly and helpful. Speaking of helpful, Lynn the lucky owner of the Banana, was easily accessible. One WEEKEND we noticed that there didn't seem to be any hot water. We called Lynn at about 10 in the morning, and there was a new water heater installed by mid afternoon. It will be difficult to leave here tomorrow morning but we have next year to look forward to. We've already reserved the Banana Cabana for next October.

We loved Banana Cabana!

Very clean and nice beach house in close proximity to the beach! Very easy walk. We loved the fenced in yard for our pets and the beach cart with large wheels was great. Close drive to restaurants and stores. The house had everything we could have needed. (The only thing I can think of that could have been useful would be a vacuum— Just to make sure we didn’t leave dog hair behind). The owners were great to work with and promptly responded to messages. Also met some very nice neighbors! We had a great time and hope to return! We will recommend to our friends. Thank you!

Perfect beach cottage

We loved this house and can't wait to stay there again. It was the perfect size for two people or a small family and the fenced yard was great for our dogs. It is on a very quiet street 1 row back from the main road and a super easy walk right to the beach access. The beach is beautiful and not crowded at all. We loved taking the dogs for a long beach walk every morning . If you like laid back beach life you can't beat the Banana Cabana!

Property was in a quiet area near the beach. The beach was visible from the property and easy access to the beach,. The cottage was very clean and as advertised.
