The Banana Cabana was awesome! Lynn’s house was nice and neat and was in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the hardwood floors and the upstairs bedroom! The beach is literally less than 2 blocks away! Took me less than 5 minutes to get my toes in the sand! As much as my Son and I loved the house probably the best part for us was that could bring Judge our GSP!! He always travels with us! Thanks Lynn for being Pet Friendly!!

We’ve stayed in several places in Port St. Joe and this is by far the most comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place we’ve stayed! From either screened in porch, you can hear the ocean. And see it too! The house has every accommodation we needed. The rooms were wonderful and the sheets were the softest I’ve ever felt! Lynn was very prompt with our communications. And the location is central to everything! A 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beaches, and such friendly locals! If I could choose a house to own in the Port St. Joe area, I would choose one just like this! When we come back, we hope to stay again! Thank you for everything including wonderful memories!!

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jun, 2022
I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Once you contacted me about the internet issue, I reached out to the neighbors and learned that there was an outage in the neighborhood. I did reach out to you the next morning to see if it was back on and was told it was once again working. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Unfortunately, it was completely out of our control.
