Banana Bay Club Beach Villas

The room we stayed in had a door that was locked with steps into the room and a closet that had no door. The bathroom vanity was cracked and broken on one side. The floor was not very clean. Went to take a shower and the water was Luke warm at best. for the price they charge this is unacceptable.

Had a wonderful relaxing retreat with friends from church. We had 8 rooms that were just beautifully designed with a beachy theme and spacious with Great Beds, Awesome kitchens and a stones throw from the beach. They supplied beach chairs and wagons to take supplies to beach. Pool was centrally located with plenty of out door seating for large groups and an outdoor kitchen. Definitely coming back soon!

Everything here was terrific! A personal parking space, easy walk to the beach and restaurants yet very quiet and secluded. The room was immaculately clean and extra towels were on hand. The pool was clean and warm and private. I look forward to staying there again.

Had a great time. The cottage is nocely decorated and a one block stroll to the public beach path. Cresent beach is the Siesta Key beach nearest the cottage, my favorite, although we visited Turtle and Siesta Key beaches. I would happily rent Wild Coffee cottage again!

We stayed for 2 nights in the Coriander Cottage and it was fabulous. The room was spacious and the furnishings were perfect - sofa, ottoman, cafe table with chairs. The small kitchenette was just right for our short stay. The cottage was very clean and well-kept. We appreciated the covered porch because we could still sit out in the rain. We enjoyed lounging at the pool (heated and clean) and on both occasions we were the only ones there. We would definitely return again.

We stayed for three nights last weekend on a Spring training baseball trip. We picked this facility because of the many positive reviews and the pictures looked cute. In fact the outside is charming. However, our unit was the Horsemint cottage, which was the only one available and is probably the smallest and least desirable one. It was very disappointing. There is no private outside seating area. Inside, the unit was clean but is dark with little natural light. Little space to put anything. Sparse furnishings. There is a mini-fridge and microwave, but guests are expected to wash any dishes they use so that the next guest has clean dishes. In this unit, that means washing in the bathroom sink. Not sure how the health department would view that. One of the bathroom sinks was missing a trap, and the other one had some kind of plastic/rubber trap that looked disgusting. Facing the bed was a tiny closet with no door or curtain, and there was a bucket and mop in the closet -- not at all attractive. Horsemint was lacking in more ways than I've enumerated here. One further annoyance was that there were several notices posted on the walls reminding us of the rules and regulations. We really wanted to like this place since the location is great, but it was uncomfortable -- lukewarm showers, hard pillows, etc. Also, it's a two-block walk to the beach, so not as close as the write-up makes it sound. If you're considering staying here and Horsemint is the only cottage available, you may want to look elsewhere.
