The banana house and the grounds is a great place to relax and chill. The host and owner were very accommodating to our needs.I would definitely go back and highly recommend. Thanks, Lou and Heather!

Check-in was simple since the gate and front door codes were provided via email ahead of time. The kitchen was equipped with the basics, except for wine glasses…but we managed! ;) The pool was nice and relaxing after a day on the baseball fields. The property is beautiful and filled with mango trees with fruit ripe for picking! We really enjoyed seeing the chickens in their gorgeous coop. We enjoyed a view of an early morning SpaceX launch from the front yard. The towels and washcloths are luxurious. Loved the folding table in the laundry room!

This is a great house for relaxing away from the crowds and tourists. Very private and quiet. The house is decorated beautifully with high end finishes and furnishings. No details left out! I would and will definitely be back. A few things I’d change to make it perfect. A optional golf cart to drive to the boat dock and other areas would be appreciated by guests. As you are not allowed to drive your vehicle to the other areas and must walk.A boat lift at the dock would be nice. We brought our boat and planned to use the dock to tie up. But, after inspecting the dock height and condition there was a risk of damaging our boat. So, we decided we’d just trailer back and forth to the ramp each day.A larger tv in the living room would be nice. The living room is very large and guests set pretty far away from the tv.

We stayed here for 5 nights and fell in love with this property. Beautiful and relaxing, but close enough to everything you need. Our kids loved all the space to run and play, and we loved the lush and quiet property. We would love to return!!
