Banyan Cottages (Guesthouses)
Two creatively designed cottages add personality and privacy.
Artist’s Way & Hello Dali each feature 2 cozy queen bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an open kitchen-living area. Hello Dali brings a bold, surrealist-inspired design for a fun, memorable stay.

Guests will have exclusive and private access to the entire property, including all four distinct units: the Banyan House (main home) and both Banyan Cottages. Enjoy the convenience of self check-in with a secure keyless entry system and make yourself at home from the moment you arrive.

We respect our guests' privacy and offer a seamless self check-in process. While we will not be present on the property during your stay, we are always available and happy to assist with any questions or needs via the messaging app or by phone.

A few important details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay:

Events & Gatherings: Banyan House is a popular setting for bachelorettes, micro weddings, and small celebrations. Due to city regulations and the unique layout of the property, all events and gatherings must be approved in advance. Additional event fees, permits, and coordination may be required depending on the size and nature of your gathering. Unauthorized events are not permitted and may result in cancellation without refund. We’re happy to help guide you through the process to create a seamless and memorable experience.

Security: For your safety and to ensure compliance with house rules, exterior security cameras are located in common outdoor areas only. There are no cameras inside any of the units.

Florida Environment: As part of Florida’s tropical environment, you may occasionally encounter local wildlife such as lizards or insects, especially in warmer months. The property is professionally serviced with routine pest control to maintain a clean and comfortable stay. Seeing a dead bug is often a sign the treatment is working effectively.

Please note: Any unauthorized event or gathering is subject to a $5,000 fee.

We are family run business who come from a long line of worldwide traveling family members and once that bug has bitten you, it can never be cured…thankfully! Needless to say, we are carrying on the tradition and are blessed to have, and still be, traveling the world extensively! Traveling expands your horizons in a way that nothing else can, we have come to note that as vast and as beautifully stunning our world is, we are desperately failing at keeping our magnificent planet that way for future generations to come One commonality amongst us as a family, is that we realize that we want to and CAN, make a difference in some small way through our business….and so, Vacation With A Purpose was born We have themed almost all of our units, each time a guest stays with us we are able to take a portion of that income and donate to a cause that’s related to that property. As an example, In our Artists Way, downtown St Pete, our donation goes toward the Autism project. If you happen to choose our Sunset Beach location, we support the Surfriders Association and so much more... We are passionate about helping others and helping to heal our planet and we hope that you will feel that way, knowing that you too have contributed, all while having a fulfilled vacation…with a purpose!
