We want to thank you so much for being such graceful hosts and caring people. We had the rest of our family stay at the D--'s Inn down the road- all they did was complain about the noise, low water pressure and little critters. We just SMILED because we paid about the same and were enjoying our stay in ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL GUEST QUARTERS...with no complaints. The place was immaculate. Thank you so much for your Southern Hospitality. May God bless you and your family in the years to follow.

First of all thank you so much for convincing me to stop by on my way back from Tybee Island. "Banana" was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The pristine cottage and neighborhood was so safe and serine & more than I could ask for. I'll never let go of the fond memory of you bringing me fresh lemons, soup and meds when I had a cold and sharing visits and beach walks when I was well again. You played a big part in my desire to return to Beaufort for a whole year and look for a permanent home here.

Although we didn't monkey around much, we neither saw, heard or tasted any evil. Thanks for all you did to make our stay in your Tropical Paradise ideal. Johnny fished, I slept, walked, read, shopped and we both ate and enjoyed! What a great 2 weeks. We came at the right time to savor your tasty garden citrus fruit. (Thanks for sharing). Our Fall vacation was all the more special because of your warm hospitality. We will recommend "Banana" to our friends and sure appreciated your kindness.

Daria & Tom- our stay was amazing! Your hospitality was over the top and "Banana" is so close to Parris Island. We couldn't have found a better place to stay. We will definitely be back! Dockside Restaurant 4 minutes away-Fabulous--and the Tour of Rose Hill Plantation- a step back in time! On our last night here, we enjoyed watching the sunset while dolphins were playing in the water! Thrilling! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us for our Marine's graduation.

We can not thank you enough for opening your home to us. You both created a fabulous memory for us and our son's military graduation. Your place was 100% beyond our expectations! We are SO GLAD we didn't "Wing-it"...because finding "Banana" was the smartest thing we did. We are hoping to come back for another visit as we see from your guest book you have many repeat vacationers. Give hugs and kisses to your kitties for us, they sure made us feel at home! We shall return!

This place is amazing! Thank you for a great weekend at Banana. We so enjoyed our stay in such a Caribbean-style-detailed home away from home. Getting to know you better and hearing your many interesting stories and life long travels, were a plus! (over coffee and especially over lovely wine!) We look forward to another stay as well as catching up with you in Costa Rica OR your next Island home. You are both so thoughtful and we wish you continued blessings.

We can't thank you enough for making our trip to SC so relaxing! The space that you have is wonderful and very inviting. We didn't want to leave because it felt so much like coming home. Banana was the absolute perfect place for us. I do hope that we will have an occasion to come your way again. Thank you both for being so open and welcoming. We have already told everyone about your little paradise hidden in plain view. ~Randy & Dona

Daria and Tom, Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your spectacular get away! Everything about this weekend was perfect. From the moment we arrived you made us feel welcome and like part of your family. We will be back very soon. You will probably see many of our friends as we will be telling everyone about the 1000 and first place you need to visit before you die. Thank you so much for everything. With love... Ron and Logan. See you soon!

Owner response:What a lovely review! ... well we just want to say that you two were such a delight and you are welcome back anytime. Daria

Note in Guest Book: Our stay was not long enough! … But, while we were here, we loved every minute. My husband is correct… Southern Hospitality is alive and well at “Banana”. Next time we come – it will be for a longer stay and the guys can hit the golf course and we can antique! LOVE your shower!
