One of the most valued features of the Banana Cabana is the poolside area which provides even more space and entertainment for our guests. The HEATED POOL and poolside deck are set within a lovely fenced-in back yard. Keep the little ones safe with a state-of-the-art pool alarm, and busy with a variety of pool toys. Soak up some sun during the day lay back and gaze at the brilliant stars and moon after dark.
The kitchen has granite countertops, new stainless-steel appliances and is fully stocked to prepare and serve all your meals. A dining table seats six to eight guests, plus there are three seats at the counter for overflow.
Two living rooms means space to watch a movie and a place to have cocktails and converse. Play cards or work on a jigsaw puzzle. Have to work virtually? A desk in the primary bedroom proffers a private area to do that.
