From the reviews
Friendly and clean , great location. Spacious room we had a balcony lots of fresh air We'll be back soon! Thanks for the wonderful reception Alason.
We had a truly top-notch experience renting a slip at Banana Bay Resort & Marina. Dockmaster Sara O’Leary was incredibly helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. We felt genuinely well taken care of, with a level of service that exceeded expectations. Every interaction with Sara was smooth, efficient, and enjoyable.
Getting married at Banana Bay Resort
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
