Welcome to Banyan ReTREET our special slice of paradise in the heart of Palm Beach County! This property is a renovated and uniquely decorated 1950's beach cottage. Just 1 mile from the ocean & walking distance to Boynton Beach Marina, where you can enjoy food and water sports fun! (Guided fishing trips, scenic intercoastal tours, jetski & kayak rentals) And a short drive to Delray Beach and the famous Atlantic Ave! Slide into our retro “game room” filled with funky art, vintage furnishings, plenty of games and old parlor vibes. Take that perfect post beach nap on our plush sunroom daybed, or maybe watch your favorite show lounging on our classic brown leather couch. Around every corner is a special moment waiting to be explored; subtle touches that make for a unique but homey environment. Backyard: Focused around our massive 150+ year old Banyan Tree, we have our famous soaker pool, perfect for all day floating and beating the heat. The tub can comfortably hold up to 5 adults. Throughout the large outdoor space you will find several different seating, tanning and dining areas, a 5 burner propane BBQ, along with 2 patios good for mellow nights under the stars, or perhaps a sunrise yoga session (mats provided). Take a stroll and follow our stone paths to explore our beloved tree. Design Style: Our design point of view has always been rooted in the California desert, and our favorite little town of Palm Springs. In our bungalow hideaway you can expect mid century wood tones and tapered furniture legs, blended with boho patterns, eclectic art and tropical undertones. Each piece and each room thoughtfully put together; a combination of thrifty finds and occasional splurges that have created such a quirky and loveable property. Bedrooms: Our three Bedrooms are designed as their own intimate and private oasis, equipped with names and personalities all their own; *The Sunset Room: Our Master Bedroom, and the largest of all bedrooms with a King size bed. A beach vacation is all about sunset pastels, light wood tones and soaking in that sunset energy. One of the most serene places on property, enjoy a private seating area, a hand painted sunscape, a massive full-length mirror and a vintage rattan vanity piece from the 50’s! *The Paradise Room: The most playful room of the house, with its 14x11 ft wall mural of “paradise”, the perfect place to day dream! Our second King Bedroom is equipped with a full-length mirror, a wavy vintage dresser (and closet), gold Moroccan lamps, and a combination of tribal and vintage patterns throughout. *The Secret Garden Room: Our treasured little hideaway features a Queen bed and our beloved custom vanity; from an awkward corner, to our favorite corner! Dangling vines and nature inspired art pull the whimsy out in all of us, while our signature arches welcome you into this cozy space. Bathroom: The tropical print, playful art, stylish green terrazzo tiles and classic vintage gold and black fixtures make the space refreshing and peaceful. The shower is equipped with a 7ft rainfall shower head and handheld shower head, as well as a tub for any soaking you might need (Shampoo, Conditioner, Bodywash, Hair dryer, Q-tips, Cotton Swabs, and hand soap included). Please also enjoy our outdoor shower, rinsing under the Banyan does something good for the soul! Explore the Home: Our indoor dining area is as special to us as any part of the house because of our homemade “L” shaped bench and signature design arches; this space is so cozy, the perfect spot to enjoy a home cooked meal. The open kitchen, dining, and living rooms are made for nights full of food, drink and lots of laughter. The kitchen is fully equipped with most all cooking utensils, and all stainless steel appliances (Dishwasher pods and general Seasonings included) The Living Room is equipped with a 50in Smart TV; you are welcome to log into your personal apps/network and enjoy from the comfort of our classic brown couch.
