About this property
Banana Split | Banana's Foster Guesthouse
Summary:
Banana's Foster Guest House is a charming historic conch home in the heart of Key West, just steps from the historic seaport and downtown. After a day of exploring, relax in the shared pool or enjoy a barbecue on the patio, perfect for connecting with other guests. Divided into six individual units, the guest house offers flexibility for both solo stays or group bookings, making it ideal for your next Key West vacation.
The Space:
Banana Split’s one-bedroom, one-bath apartment offers all the comforts you need for a perfect stay. The private bedroom features a king-size bed, while the living room includes a queen sleeper sofa, comfortably accommodating up to four guests.
Enjoy a private balcony overlooking Simonton Street, as well as access to the shared pool, grill, free WiFi, and a fully stocked kitchen. This apartment is the ideal home base for all your adventures in paradise.
Guest Access:
Our contactless check-in procedure makes check-in easy. Guests will receive a personalized access code 3 days prior to check-in to enter the unit.
Shared community features: pool, grill, balcony and lounge area
How to access: this second story 1 bedroom is stair access only
The Neighborhood:
Placed perfectly in-between Downtown and the Historic seaport, enjoy attractions like Mallory Square at sunset, Fury’s water adventures for a day at sea, and the Shipwreck and Mel Fisher Maritime Museum for some Key West History.
Being in the heart of everything does come with noise of downtown, but nonetheless an easy and convenient location to experience all Key West has to offer!
Half a block from Duval Street, The Banana's Foster Guest House is steps away from Key Wests most famous bars and kitchens. Food is at your finger tips, local’s favorite restaurants, such as First Flight, Bagatelle and Two Friend’s patio are less than a 5 minute walk from your front door. Got a sweet tooth, keep an eye out for Kermit’s Key Lime pie shop in the Historic Seaport known for the best Key Lime Pie in Key West, or some homemade fudge and candy from River Street Sweets.
Forgot something and or need a quick fix, Shorty’s Market has your last minute necessities for your weekend getaway. Just 2 blocks away you can also find Fausto’s food market for locally sourced groceries.
