“Just like home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Chuck and Susan welcome us like friends, take us to our favorite room in their antique-filled historic house, and prepare the most exquisite breakfasts in the sunny patio room where we meet other friends of theirs each morning over coffee and the daily surprise menu. There is never any rush. They are welcoming and accommodating to every need, and readily provide information on local restaurants and places to visit. The pool is clean and warm, each room has a mini-fridge and toiletries, fresh towels daily and robes for evening. We have already been back twice and plan many future visits.

“Beautiful features, great location, perfect for a few days to relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Chuck and Susan were great hosts, and the breakfasts were good. The pool was clean, the room was clean, and the balcony views lovely.

Room Tip: We enjoyed the Tree House for the extra sitting area and balcony.

“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

This is a really beautiful B&B, & we liked everything about it. It's in a lovely neighborhood, close to the beaches & the downtown. The bedrooms are spacious & beautifully furnished, & many have kitchenettes & private patios. The Palm Room even has a gas fireplace. The living room is full of lovely antique furniture. Delicious breakfasts are served in an attractive, sunny room where guests chat like old friends. The courtyard is really great, with lovely plantings, a pool & jacuzzi, hammock, swing, deck chairs, & romantic night lighting - a great place to relax. They even have a billiard room. Susan & Chuck are gracious hosts. They even held a New Year's Eve party for their guests! Many of the guests have been returning there for years, even decades. We would go back.

“Exceptional place to stay with wonderful innkeepers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Our recent trip to Venice was perfect due to the beautiful home and kind hospitality of Susan and Chuck McCormick! We were so pleased with everything the Banyan House had to offer. Good location, delicious breakfasts,well appointed rooms are just a few examples of this perfect place to stay. We highly recommend The Banyan House!

“The perfect stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left Susan and Chuck were working to make our stay an enjoyable one that we will always remember! We will follow the footsteps of many others and make a return visit to the Banyan House. Spacious rooms, wonderful breakfasts...walk to the downtown restaurants and shops. The beach is close by for those that like to walk. Very relaxing easy place to stay...hard place to leave!

Room Tip: Palm Room is large, has kitchenette and balcony.
