We loved our stay here. The hosts were great! We loved staying on the water and fishing and catching crabs from the dock.

This charming houseboat was such a nice change of pace from a typical VRBO or hotel. It was so clean and well appointed with everything you could need. The size is perfect for a solo visit for some down time, or a couples stay. The dock is so enjoyable and the sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. Suzy and her husband were the perfect hosts … available if you needed them, but very much your own place on their property. We hope to stay here again one day!

We absolutely loved our time on the houseboat. The location is perfect to go explore all the surrounding towns. Then we were able to spend our evenings relaxing on the dock while we watched the sun set. Shelby and Susie were amazing hosts. They had tons of recommendations and are just good, quality people. We would totally come stay again.

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.

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.

The Banana Boat is a great place to stay. Remodeled Houseboat on Carrabelle River with a large dock and great fishing. The hosts are very hospitable and friendly. We could not have asked for a better place to spend our 10 yr Anniversary. We hope to go back in December. Five stars all the way.

We loved it. Cute as a button, lovely rocking sensation from the river, but not enough to make you sick. Everything you need for a wonderful stay.
10.0
Beautiful, quaint and secluded houseboat for 2 on the Carrabelle River. Enjoy spectacular sunrises and watch the tidal birds on the river with your morning coffee. Houseboat has every amenity you might want/need. The scenic, fishing town of Carrabelle has a lovely public beach that allows leashed dogs, not always permitted on all Florida beaches. Highly recommend this property.

The Banana Boat was extremely clean which is a must for me. All furnishings and decor were excellent. Such a quaint place. Owners were very easy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our 10th year wedding anniversary.

Absolutely Wonderful
This vacation experience was everything we were looking for in a peaceful and quiet getaway! Our host walked us through our rental and made sure to express her availability if we ever needed anything during our stay. The dock was a wonderful addition to use for fishing, relaxing, and watching the sunsets/sunrises. We can't wait until our next vacation in reserving the Banana Boat again!
