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.

We so enjoyed our month at the Banana Cabana. Well equipped for cooking meals. Loved the walk in showers! Mexico Beach and Port St Joe are quiet hidden gems for relaxation and beach time without crowds. The book library was a bonus! Beds were comfortable. Quiet area with nice neighbors.

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.
