Jennifer purchased this house in 2005
Why Jennifer chose Seagrove Beach

We Fell in Love with Seagrove Beach & moved here 15 years ago. We love this 'Funky Ole Beach Town' with it's Laid Back Atmosphere & Friendly Locals! We met a Special family that had lived here in Seagrove for many years. We always loved their Ole Funky Cottage & said: 'If you ever want to sell'.......... Well one day they did & we are Sooo Glad We Did!! We rolled up our sleeves & restored this 1938 Cottage to it's Former Glory, But Even Better!! We hope you will Love 'Banana Cabana' as much as we do! We would Love to share it with Guests of Family & Friends that will Truely Respect & Appreciate the Charm & Attributes of what 'Banana Cabana' has to offer!

What makes this house unique

We absolutely Love 'Banana Cabana' & its Very Private, yet Convenient Location!! It's our 'Home' away from Home! It is such a Joy to be there with all the different & special areas both inside & outside to enjoy. The Pool--Of Course! Our Huge Screened Porch is Great for an afternoon nap. The Tropical Koi Fish Pond, with the fountains & the fish--Its sooo relaxing! If your here @ the right time of year the frogs singing is Great. Our 'Tree-Top' Playhouse is its own little getaway! The Private Courtyard w/Outdoor Fireplace is a Romantic Evening just waiting to happen & our Grill area is Great too!

I've had my eye on Banana Cabana for three years. I could see it was a gem from day one, a perfect setting for my grandchildren to frolic, for the rest of us to relax, and for stepping back into a simpler time in this lovingly restored, circa 1940 beach cottage. Charm is too simple a word for Banana Cabana's appeal. This place is truly paradise.

Everything was perfect. The decor was without peer. All was squeaky clean. Everything we needed was there and easy to find. The location was perfect and oh so private! The grounds were fastidiously kept. The pool area was an oasis and the pool was perfectly clean as was the sun porch, the decks, the gazebo, etc, all of it decorated with vintage items and whimsical eye-candy. Our almost 3 year old & 4 year old granddaughters had endless "props" and "background" for their imaginative play. Banana Cabana's listing looked like it would provide them hours of fun but never did I guess how limitless their adventures would be!

The bathrooms were large and well supplied. The laundry room was SOOO awesome with a table for folding, a sink & more. (Folding clothes was a get-away in itself.) The beds were all very comfortable; ceiling fans in virtually every room. TVs galore. Awesome dining room; oh my the decor! We sat 8 at the dining room table.

The kitchen was, for me at least, the star of the show! I took about ten kajillion photos of the inside of Banana Cabana & at least 1/2 were taken in the kitchen! There was something new at every turn, but BC is not "cluttered". Banana Cabana is 1940's beach cottage through and through with well balanced decor and furnishings thoughtfully arranged for the comfort of guests.

We received a phone call from Jennifer within 30 min of our arrival. She was calling to inquire if all was to our liking and if we needed anything. Jennifer was awesome from start to finish. I have no doubt that if we'd had "needs" or "problems" they would have been handled quickly and thoroughly, but our stay was perfect from start to finish!

We've traveled a lot, particularly out west, and have stayed in some gorgeous homes, but Banana Cabana is now ranked NUMBER ONE by my family and I cannot imagine anything topping it!

Many thanks to Jennifer, owner extraordinaire!!! God willing, we'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Banana Cabana very much. The home is cozy, clean and spacious. We loved our morning walks to the beach. The kids rented movies from the redbox booth every night (right on the corner at the Tom Thumb gas station). We stayed for Easter week and the weather was perfect. Mostly sunny and 70's to 80 with only one rain-out day. We drove to Panama City that day to see a movie and break up the day. Other than that we stayed on the property and relaxed and enjoyed for most of each day, exploring Surfside Beach, Santa Rosa an Destin in the evenings. It's a great place for a family get away!

My teenagers and I had the best family time ever at Banana Cabana! The cottage strikes the perfect balance of whimsically beautiful decor, in addition to a perfectly spacious yet cozy atmosphere. We enjoyed the screened in porch and various decks as much as we enjoyed the beach! It really was a perfect location and vacation for all of us! The owners were gracious, helpful, and easy to communicate with. All-around wonderful experience!

We could not have enjoyed our stay more at the Banana Cabana! It is one of the true gems of 30A in my opinion. The beach is a short walk away and it is actually a nice break from the beach when you come back to the Cabana. You can avoid some of the wind from the beach and just sit back and relax by the pool. During our stay the weather was not too warm so the heated pool was a big hit, especially with the kiddos.

Inside the cottage has tons of space and even with 8 of us staying there we never felt on top of each other. The attached apartment is really cool too. The downstairs has a second kitchen and full bath with a twisting staircase leading you up to the crows nest where you find a huge bedroom. The screened porch is like an additional 200 sq. ft. of extended living area. There are speakers out on the porch that provide the whole pool area with your choice of tunes and at night the whole property lights up like a five star hotel.

Also, the Cabana sits on a dead end street so there is almost no traffic and you really get more privacy that I would have expected. Overall, the Cabana was clean and the decor spot on. Jennifer and Chris were great to work with and we had no issues with the reservation, arrival, departure, etc.

We will be back, just probably during the warmer seasons. :-)
Owner's Response: What a Wonderful Review! Thank you ~ It means so much! It's unfortunate that some of this guests' daytime temps were unusualy cool for this time of year. (Mother Nature does what she wants). Thank goodness for the heated pool for the kids! And....It's so nice to hear that Everyone enjoyed their Seagrove Beach Holiday @ our "Banana Cabana"!!

A note to ALL potential guests": There is a Wonderful & Welcome change of season here in our NW Florida Paradise. Winters are mild here in the FL Panhandle & daytime high temps can & do vary. I personally call our Winter's here in NW Florida "Sweater Weather" & we Love it as well as our many "Snow Birds" that visit here from the North!

Hey Jennifer. We thoroughly enjoyed Banana Cabana! Your decorating
touches are charming and everything we needed was there. It was a
great family get together.The chair and umbrella rental guys you
recommended were great.
