Under the Banyan Trees - the most relaxing vacation ever!!
About this house rental
What a beautiful spot on the Gulf of Mexico known as Banyan Bluff - a small, secluded condo complex that you can't even see from the road. And what really makes it special is that it's you're close enough to shops, restaurants, golfing, etc. so that you don't feel isolated from the rest of the world. You will not want for anything in this gulf front townhouse. It is a beautifully furnished, updated, end-unit with all the amenities to make your vacation perfect. The living room is comfortably and tastefully furnished, and includes a large flat-screen TV. From the large glass wall you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, or open up the sliding doors to the main floor deck with a patio set, and have your morning coffee or an evening meal. The entry level has a laundry room with a full-size washer & dryer. Above is a well-stocked kitchen with updated appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave. Conveniently located next to the kitchen is the dining area. Also on this level are the two guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other with 2 twin beds, and a full bathroom with a shower. The top floor level is reserved for the master suite - it includes a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination, walk-in closet, and a large balcony with a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico. Amenities are the free WiFi internet, cable TV and 2 new, large flat-screen TV's. There are 2 decks, one off the living room, and one off the master bedroom; each overlooks the peaceful, natural florida landscape and the Gulf of Mexico. These decks are angled providing privacy from each unit. Outside is also a semi-private sundeck with access to the Gulf of Mexico. Take the stairs down to the beach and you can swim in the calm blue waters or look for sand dollars, all kinds of sea shell, and even fossilized shark's teeth. We hope you'll enjoy our condo as much as we do. (The sundeck is scheduled to have some construction work done later this year.) (Rental rates do not include the departure cleaning fee, 12% tax, booking fee, or the damage waiver.)

Relaxing family vacation
My family and I enjoyed an amazing week on the beach here at Banyan Bluff #1. Our condo was nice and welcoming. The beach access was easy. And the beach was perfect! We got to see turtle tracks in the sand and the turtle rescue people escorting(standing by as protection) a few baby turtles to the ocean. A manatee swam past us in the water! Dolphins swam near one day! It was just overall very relaxing. We visited Mote Aquarium one day, which everyone enjoyed. And our favorite place that we ate at while we where visiting was Magnolia’s on the Bay. (We ate lunch here one day.) The food was way better than anything else we ate while we were there. The atmosphere was fun and our waitress was super nice. Thankful for all the memories made!

This beautiful townhouse was perfect. The decor was so beachy and it felt like home. Everything was clean and comfortable. All the extras were provided including toilet paper , tissues, beach towels, dish detergent, laundry detergent, sunscreen, beach chairs and umbrellas. The views from both decks were amazing and the beach was quiet.
Sunsets were spectacular. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this property. My daughter and I had a great vacation. Thanks to the owner for letting us stay in her fabulous home.

enjoyed our stay. Wish the light switches had been labeled. We couldn't turn on the light or fan in the main room - it ran on a remote which we didn't find until we were leaving. There was no room in the kitchen cabinets to put anything away. the place was clean and nice, the beach was great and not crowded. Asked us to start the towels in the laundry before we left, but there was no soap. No soap for the dishwasher so we had to buy some so as to start the cycle before we left.. couldn't use the tv's in the two bottom bedrooms, no remotes. Even with all this the place was nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Great place and location. The kids swam with manatees and watched sea turtles lay eggs - all in front of the house. House was great - well stocked, decorated, and clean. Only downside is that you can no longer find shark teeth due to the rebuilt beach - the new beach is great, though.

We enjoyed our stay at Banyan bluff. The sunsets were amazing.
There was no beach (high or low tide) while we were there but we did not have any problem with this, since we enjoyed walking more than sitting on the beaches.
We appreciated the household items like dish washer pellets, laundry detergent, and garbage bags being available.
Bug spray is a must to enjoy the outside portions of the property.
We had 2 hiccups during our stay and both were addressed/ remedied ASAP.
We loved the place and plan to return.

Amazing and breathtaking views!! The neighborhood is a great town and a lot to do or stay in depending on your preferences. The condo was fully stocked. There are upgrades made very nice kitchen and livingroom. Fit 5 of us with a lot of space for kids to separate for their own space and allowed us all to have family time. We did go in the water at low tide, the steps are very sturdy.

The condo was beautiful! The view was breath taking! The only two complaints I can make have nothing to do with the condo itself— 1. The crazy neighbor. It was hard to go outside and enjoy my family because she always approached us to talk for long periods of time. And since we shared a deck with her, it couldn’t really be avoided. 2. The beach erosion is worse than the pictures portrayed. Most days we had to drive to the public beach, which sort of defeats the purpose of a beach front property.
The home is beautiful and I hope the beach restoration project works! I’d visit again if it worked!

We enjoyed our stay at Banyan Bluff very much. The condo was clean and equipped with anything you could need. Although there is a permanent resident next door and another unit was rented, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Unfortunately, during our stay, Manasota Key was experiencing Red Tide, so we were not able to enjoy the beach for part of the week. The beach is not as pictured either, which was disappointing. There was no sand. The steps led straight down to the water. We made up for the lack of beach by floating on tubes and rafts. Overall our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable.

ENDLESS GULF VIEWS
Beautiful location that is hidden from road and private. Very comfortable accommodations. Well stocked kitchen and unit. AC stopped working and Gulf Realty got repair man out there quickly on a Sat. night. Only 2 problems - the beach is for all intents and purposes gone and the BBQ grill was disgusting and unusable.

Enjoyed our stay! Just wish there was a beach at the rental, the water was up on the rocks all time.
We enjoyed our stay , the house was very nice and we'll equipped with everything we needed. The view was great,we saw dauphins and manatee almost every day. If only there was a beach to walk out on from the rental . It was just a few miles in either direction to a nice beach.

Lovely House
My sister and her family rented the house next door, and we rented this three bedroom unit. This was a very comfortable rental, with plenty of space, tons of dishes and pots and pans to cook our Thanksgiving dinner. I did bring my own knives (most rentals have dull steel). The bed was very comfy (wanted to take it home). The view is just as pictured.

Little Paradise
We really enjoyed our stay here. The sound of the waves at night, the beautiful vistas from all of the decks, the birds and squirrels, and the semi-private beach accessible by a stair. It's really quiet and laid back and a great way to switch off and be on vacation. Also, the house is very nicely furnished, it has a wonderful homey touch to it and the kitchen is the best equipped kitchen we've ever seen in a rental place! Sunsets are amazing and on our last evening we even saw a school of dolphins pass by. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some peace and quiet and appreciating this direct access to the sea.

Paradise in Florida
Great location. Loved the view. Steps away from the ocean. The condo was very comfortable and clean. We loved being able to step out the back door and be right on the ocean on our own private beach (with only three other condos). We loved the group of palm trees in the back which provided shade and an interesting area to walk through to the beach. Sunsets were beautiful and viewable from the living room, master bedroom, or by just stepping out on the deck. It was nice having a covered parking space for two vehicles plus room for more for guests. The layout of the condo was very nice. Working with Gulf Realty was easy and they were very accommodating. We had no issues. We truly enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back. Thank you for sharing your condo with us.
