This house was perfect for our two families that totaled 11. There were two king rooms with full bathrooms for each and two bunk bed rooms that also shared a full bathroom that was perfect for all of the kids. The pond in the back was so fun for my boys to fish and there were 2 balconies to sit and sip coffee - 1 even stayed shaded all morning and overlooked the pond. The pool is RIGHT next to the condo which was very convenient. The beds were comfortable, AC worked incredibly, and the kitchen had all we needed. We had plenty of towels and enjoyed the luxury of washing and drying laundry if needed. I had an issue opening the door upon checking-in (user error), but I was helped right away when calling for assistance. The ONLY thing that I would add per my preference is more comfortable seating (super cute yellow chairs at the island and table were metal and very uncomfortable, especially for someone with a back/shoulder issue). We loved the Banana Stand!

This is the kind of review we love to read! We're so glad the home was the perfect fit for your two families and that everyone enjoyed the comfortable layout, fishing pond, balconies, convenient pool access, and well-equipped kitchen. It's great to hear the A/C kept everyone cool and that our team was able to quickly help at check-in. We also appreciate your feedback about the seating and will be sure to share it with the homeowner for consideration. Thank you for staying with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back to The Banana Stand for another unforgettable island getaway!

Had a great time with kids and Grands in our VRBO! Unit looked to be a little more isolated in the pics…ended up in a cluster of rentals and was very loud at night, even though quiet time was supposed to start at 10:00. House was pretty nice…very functional for our family.

Wish there was better direct access to the beach but if you're just out for a stroll, this is perfect. Too far away though to carry all your stuff with you LOL. Gotta rent a cart (unless you want the salt on your vehicle). Right beside the pool, great for the kids we had along with us.
