We spent a relaxing week at The Banana Bay Beachside in October. This was our second stay this year. Gina and David are great hosts, they are there when you need them otherwise you are left alone. The location of this property would be hard to beat, it is just a short stroll to the fabulous Crescent Beach, and no... more

What a great time we had at Banana Bay! How helpful and welcoming were David and Gina, the owners! Nothing was too much trouble, and, although they are Brits, they really knew their way around and saved us time, and more important, money. We have used a lot of motels and hotels in Fla, and nothing comes close. There's a... more

we pulled up late on sun july 6th, we had stopped at a bunch of places on siesta key and the offices were closed. we discovered this just driving around and loved the look of the place, called david on the number he had on the front door and he came and showed us a room, which we loved. it... more

We had an 8 night stay in March/April 2008 and stayed in Villa 4. On the plus side = Fantastic location close to a superb white-sand beach, big pool, relaxed atmosphere, parking on-site, large Villa with loads of room inside with a private deck outside front and back, ability to use facilities at both BBC locations. On the minus side... more

Letter I sent to BBC after our return. This says it all. Dear Banana Bay, I am writing you to let you know of our experience during our stay at your Beachside Resort location. We stayed in Villa 3 which is advertised as sleeping accommodations for four. Upon arrival we did find that your accommodations seemed pretty much as advertised... more

My husband and I just came back from our first trip to Siesta Key Florida. We found the Banana Bay Club beachside on the internet and it looked like it had exactly what we wanted. what a wonderful delight to arrive there and find that indeed this was a perfect place for us. We stayed in the Tropical Apartment which... more

My husband and I have stayed on Siesta Key frequently for nearly 20 years as we visit family in Sarasota. We thought we'd try somewhere different recently and chose the Banana Bay Beachside - I guess I got the higher-rated Banana Bay Waterside confused with the Beachside because this place was almost a dump. We stayed in Villa #7 (putting... more

My husband and I just returned from staying at this property. I was a bit worried after some of the reviews and I voiced those concerns with one of the owners. I was told that most of the bad reviews were before the renovations. We stayed in Villa #7 for around $135 per night. We never saw the owners. Lisa... more

My husband, our dog Choc Chip (a brown lab) and I stayed at the resort for 1 week. Gina was a great wealth of info and very willing to help with every request (which were usally about where to go and what to see.) The cottage at the waterside we stayed in was perfect. Outstanding views of the lagoon, a... more
