About this property
King Size Luxury in a Family Beach Resort
A new ceramic floor throughout and a full size cook's kitchen with stainless steel appliances are two things our guests love about the condo. Banana Wind is a spacious retreat with a king size master suite and private bath along with twin beds and a private bath in the guest room. A full sized round dining table creates the perfect gathering place for family dinners or playing board games. Our housekeeping service washes every piece of linen, including the comforters on the bed, so you are assured of a clean and pleasant stay. It's hard to stay closer to the beach with the water and stunning beach pool (1 of 6) only steps away. In case it rains or in cooler seasons, you can access our indoor pool and sauna at no additional charge. We've included new flat screen televisions in each room. Our balcony features two rocking chairs and tables so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful evenings and gulf breeze. We've included everything imaginable to make your stay more fun. If you want crowded beaches, heavy traffic and non-stop noise you're looking at the wrong location. We are a family resort with a secure 24/7 gated entrance and quiet time beginning at 10:00 PM. Just a short 15 minute drive transports you worlds away to a resort experience. Sandwiched between thousands of acres of National Wildlife refuge with hiking trails and empty or low density beaches, you'll feel like you're in old Key West.
We have shuffleboard, tennis, horseshoes, and one of the 70 best resort golf courses in The Unites States right next door. Kiva Dunes is a world class golf club open to the public with a driving range and practice facility. Enjoy lunch at Uncle Leo's, have dinner and drinks at the Sassy Bass or walk next door to Kiva for a bite to eat and a cocktail. We have outdoor grills located throughout the property near each entrance and we offer a laundry on each floor in case you want to wash some clothes before returning home. Our island was discovered by the Spanish in 1500 and much of their fleet was destroyed in a hurricane in 1504 just behind our property. Because we are on a narrow peninsula separating the Gulf of Mexico from Bon Secour Bay, you can enjoy both the beach or bay when you stay with us. We have a boat launch across from our property and you are welcome to park your boat and trailer here at our resort. Just a few miles west you'll find historic Fort Morgan and museum, our ferry to Dauphin Island, a state park and marina. You can buy an ice cream cone, fill up with gas, get a massage or have dinner at sports bar within 1 mile of the resort. ATTENTION SNOWBIRDS: Ask about special unpublished snowbird rates during the first two weeks of March 2021.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Susan Yager
My wife and I grew up in the Midwest and discovered Fort Morgan when we moved to Birmingham in 2000. We moved here in 2012 and bought a house next door on the golf course where will live with our dogs. We purchased and renovated the condo at Plantation because we fell in love with the resort and we knew our friends would love it too. With five adult kids and their growing families the extra space comes in handy!
Why they chose this property
This is one of those old style beach resorts that seem to have vanished over the last forty years with all the commercial development on the beach. We chose to purchase a condo here because we believe it's the most "Old Key West" experience anywhere on the gulf. We own and renovated two condos here so our family, friends and guests can enjoy a first class stay at a great resort. When you've rented at the beach as much as we have you've been both elated and disappointed in the condition of the units over the years. Please know that when you stay at our place it will look like the photographs and will be clean and fresh.
What makes this property unique
We live just a few hundred yards down the beach! We'll be happy to guide you to the best restaurants, shrimp markets, amusement parks, dolphin cruises and if you're nice, we'll even share where the good fishing holes are located. We hope you'll choose Banana Wind and we look forward to making your vacation the one your family talks about for years to come!
