We’ve stayed in several places in Port St. Joe and this is by far the most comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place we’ve stayed! From either screened in porch, you can hear the ocean. And see it too! The house has every accommodation we needed. The rooms were wonderful and the sheets were the softest I’ve ever felt! Lynn was very prompt with our communications. And the location is central to everything! A 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beaches, and such friendly locals! If I could choose a house to own in the Port St. Joe area, I would choose one just like this! When we come back, we hope to stay again! Thank you for everything including wonderful memories!!

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 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!

Great Stay!

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. Liked it so much, we are coming back!
