Insta-Worthy! 5/4 Waterfront Oasis-1 blk to beach-Kayaks-Pool-Fire Pit-Game Room

THE BANANA RIVER RETREAT is a 5 bedroom 4 bath vacation experience! This waterfront property is just a block from the beach featuring a game room (table tennis, pop-a-shot), swimming pool, fire pit and kayaks you can launch from your backyard dock. The deep water canal's dock is equipped with a lift so you can even bring your own boat!

We have high expectations of our cleaners and compensate them accordingly. We even pay an additional bonus whenever guests take the time to let us know the house was sparkling clean. Beware of properties who charge low or no cleaning fee. Many of these cut corners such as not washing all floor mats & bed spreads between guests. Instead they clean such items only periodically.

At the Banana River Retreat, you can be sure we have taken the time to properly prepare the property with your health and satisfaction in mind! We look forward to providing you with an exceptional vacation experience! Just relax! We got this!

Lovely Home, Wonderful Amenities
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We loved the kayaks, ping pong and overall house layout was excellent. The weather prohibited us from enjoying the pool or fire pit but they looked fabulous. Would highly recommend!

The only negative takeaway is the TV upstairs did not work and the only bedroom with a TV was the master bedroom.

Daughters 18th birthday!
What an amazing place! Our first VRBO stay and it did not disappoint. Perfect for a large group. There was 13 of us ranging from 2 to 75 from my grandbabies, my kids to my parents and there was plenty of space and things to do. The kayaks were a big plus! My kids and grandkids loved them. Watched the dolphins and manatees from the dock and kayaks. Kids fished from daylight till dark. Nice short walk to the beach. Upstairs room was a great hang out for the kids and grandkids. House is stocked with everything you will need besides food and your personal belongings. Thank you so much for this beautiful place to make these wonderful memories! Stephanie was a great host and we hope to be back soon!

Great Family Getaway
We were looking for a way to celebrate our mother's 80th birthday and decided to forego a big party and just spend quality time together instead. The Banana River Retreat fit the bill perfectly. There were 7 adults so the number of rooms and bathrooms allowed for separation and privacy, while the living spaces gave us the time together we desired. We relaxed in the pool, we kayaked, we cooked in the massive kitchen and we played games at the table when it briefly rained. We were blessed to have been able to view a shuttle launch from the upper balcony which was a pleasant surprise. The setting and the atmosphere was just what we all needed and Mom had a wonderful and memorable birthday celebration. My suggestion to future guests would be to bring Skin so Soft as the noseeums in this part of the state can be brutal & unforgiving and ear plugs may be helpful as well - the bullfrogs at night can lead to a restless sleep. I would definitely recommend The Banana River Retreat to families looking for plenty of space to gather.

Great location and space
We loved the location and amount of space/beds in the house. The property was perfect for a reunion among friends. The big draw was the pool in the back. When we came it was dirty and is only cleaned once a week I think. We called the property manager and she sent the pool company, so they fixed it by the end of the first day. My only complaint is that it needs to be cleaned by the service better, not just shocked with chemicals. Otherwise, we loved our stay.

Senior summer getaway
The location and size were the biggest plus for our group of 10. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing right off the dock. On our last day we were greeted by a dolphin by the dock and a rocket launch up close right from the second floor porch that night. The short walk to the beach was very easy and the installation of a new light activated cross walk is awesome since the main road is pretty busy at times. We would stay again at this beautiful home in the future.

Bedbugs/ Dirty
I have never been more disappointed in a home. The listed pictures are deceiving, due to the uncleanness/ lack of upkeep. The kitchen cabinet drawers/refrigerator shelves contained food debris, bath towels were worn/stained, flowerbeds overgrown, dead plants in pots, the pool furniture dirty due to a clogged filtration bowl, the pool was filthy! We contacted owner and was advised that a pool service would be at the house first thing the next morning; which actually happened around 3:00pm. We lost 1 ½ days to enjoy the pool; the owner provided a refund for 1 day of stay. Upon checkout, it was discovered that one of our kids had numerous bug bites on her backside. We informed the owner that we were taking the child to see a medical provider. The child was examined by her medical doctor for mosquitoes, noseeum and bed bug bites; diagnosis was bed bug bites. Provided info to owner. Owner declared that pest control visited the house the same day and there were no bed bugs found throughout. We requested documentation of pest control visit; as of date, we have not received. The following day, we received a second medical opinion, and the diagnosis (p/w provided to the owner) was again bed bug bites. The owner had a pest control inspection FOUR days after the first initial inspection. Documentation was provided to us from inspectors stating no bed bugs. Exposing my family to this and never receiving the documents from the first pest control inspection is unacceptable!!!
