5 Star Experience

This houseboat is clean, tidy and comfortable but most importantly it's a super fun rental! You get to stay in a floating apartment...how cool is that? The view is beautiful, the owners are charming, and the experience is unique. We highly recommend it.

Quaint and peaceful

The Banana Boat was what we expected from the description and photos. Quiet and peaceful. Shelby and Susie were gracious hosts. Very clean and all the comforts of home. The shower small but functional. We had a great time

Peaceful, memorable, relaxing.

My husband and I loved staying on the Banana Boat. Soothing water sounds, observing the tides and water currants while reading, fishing and taking naps - a glorious way to spend 3 nights. The bed was very comfortable and the boat is well equipped for daily needs. Examples, bath towels are large, 100% soft white cotton. Good water pressure on the boat. Besides the indoor spaces, the boat is on a nice size dock providing outdoor space to enjoy.

Peaceful

Peaceful and adorable little houseboat. We spent two nights enjoying the river and quiet. Best sleep ever in the Yellow Banana! We would love to return one day. Susie made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.
