About this property

A Tropical Beach Cottage Near West Palm Beach & Delray Beach!

Welcome to Banyan ReTREET our special slice of paradise in the heart of Palm Beach County! This property is a renovated and uniquely decorated 1950's beach cottage.

Just 1 mile from the ocean & walking distance to Boynton Beach Marina, where you can enjoy food and water sports fun! (Guided fishing trips, scenic intercoastal tours, jetski & kayak rentals) And a short drive to Delray Beach and the famous Atlantic Ave!

Slide into our retro lounge filled with funky art, vintage furnishings, plenty of games and old parlor vibes. Take that perfect post beach nap on our plush sunroom daybed, or maybe watch your favorite show lounging on our vintage brown leather couch. Around every corner is a special moment waiting to be explored; subtle touches that make for a unique but homey environment.

Backyard:
Focused around our massive 150+ year old Banyan Tree, we have our famous soaker pool, perfect for all day floating and beating the heat. The tub can comfortably hold up to 5 adults.

Throughout the large outdoor space you will find several different seating, tanning and dining areas, a 5 burner propane BBQ, along with 2 patios good for mellow nights under the stars, or perhaps a sunrise yoga session (mats provided). Take a stroll and follow our stone paths to explore our beloved tree.

Design Style:
Our design point of view has always been rooted in the California desert, and our favorite little town of Palm Springs. In our bungalow hideaway you can expect mid century wood tones and tapered furniture legs, blended with boho patterns, eclectic art and tropical undertones. Each piece and each room thoughtfully put together; a combination of thrifty finds and occasional splurges that have created such a quirky and loveable property.

Bedrooms:
Our three Bedrooms are designed as their own intimate and private oasis, equipped with names and personalities all their own;

*The Sunset Room:
Our Primary Bedroom, and the largest of all bedrooms with a King size bed. A beach vacation is all about sunset pastels, light wood tones and soaking in that sunset energy. One of the most serene places on property, enjoy a private seating area, a hand painted sunscape, a massive full-length mirror and a vintage rattan vanity piece from the 50’s!

*The Paradise Room:
The most playful room of the house, with its 14x11 ft wall mural of “paradise”, the perfect place to day dream! Our second King Bedroom is equipped with a full-length mirror, a wavy vintage dresser (and closet), gold Moroccan lamps, and a combination of tribal and vintage patterns throughout.

*The Secret Garden Room:
Our treasured little hideaway features a Queen bed and our beloved custom vanity; from an awkward corner, to our favorite corner! Dangling vines and nature inspired art brings the whimsy out, while our signature arches welcome you into this cozy space.

Bathroom:
The tropical print, playful art, stylish green terrazzo tiles and classic gold and black fixtures make the space refreshing and peaceful. The shower is equipped with a 7ft rainfall shower head and handheld shower head, as well as a tub for any soaking you might need (Shampoo, Conditioner, Bodywash, Hair dryer, Q-tips, Cotton Swabs, and hand soap included). Please also enjoy our outdoor shower, rinsing under the Banyan does something good for the soul!

Explore the Home:
Our indoor dining area is as special to us as any part of the house because of our homemade “L” shaped bench and signature design arches; this space is so cozy, the perfect spot to enjoy a home cooked meal.
The open kitchen, dining, and living rooms are made for nights full of food, drink and lots of laughter. The kitchen is fully equipped with most all cooking utensils, and all stainless steel appliances (Dishwasher pods and general Seasonings included)

The Living Room is equipped with a 50in Smart TV; you are welcome to log into your personal apps/network and enjoy. (Some channels and movies are provided)

Soaking Pool:
The most special place on property, we are so excited for you to enjoy our Stock Tank soaking pool! Though the water is not heated these metal tanks are made to keep the water inside between 76-82 degrees, meaning it always feels pretty close to perfect :)

Simple instructions and rules for the Stock Tank pool will be given to guests prior to arrival, as well as in the properties guide book.
(chlorine tablets, a weekly cleaning/filter pump)

Please be cautious with any children on property near the pool, drowning is a serious threat with any body of water big or small. Adult supervision is required at ALL times when children are present. Please keep the cover in place over the tub, unless you are actively using it. A waiver of Liability for the pool will be required for guests to sign off on before they enter the property.

Coffee Bar:
This space sits just outside the kitchen cut-out “window” and allows all the coffee lovers to grab their favorite mug and enjoy a nice cup of Joe from a standard machine or French Press, both provided. A Tea pot and tea bags, along with Medium roast coffee, creamer and sugar are provided.

Wine & Spirits Bars:
Please enjoy both of our two distinct vintage bar spaces in the game room and the main living room. Classic glassware, fun recipes, and the essential cocktail tools make it easy to enjoy a night of mixing, shaking, sipping and smiling! Please no glassware outside.

Guide Book:
The home comes with a guide book for all property amenities and appliances.

Restaurant Suggestions:
One of the best parts of vacation and of life is the food. So our favorite thing is giving our guests an in depth look into the best restaurants in Palm Beach County! From those local mom and pop spots, to Michelin stars and James Beard Award winning chefs, we have you covered for the best bites around! (all in our house guide)

Relaxing and fun

We loved the quirky, unique style of the house as well as all of the comfortable spaces. The backyard and patio were especially nice and i enjoyed doing morning yoga followed by coffee out there. I appreciated the quick responses when I had questions, as well as the area recommendations. It was a lovely week!

Weekend Stay

The Banyan Retreet is a wonderful place to stay for either a short or long trip. This is the second time we’ve stayed and our kids absolutely love the house. The banyan tree in particular is a magical addition that our kids just couldn’t stay out of.

A very special home

This home is spectacular! We had the best little getaway and could not have found anywhere better to stay. Our family comes down to south florida often and this place is unlike anywhere we have stayed! We will be recomending to friends and staying again ourselves. The design of it all is really something else, and thank you ladies for the hospitality!! Book it if you can.

Perfect place to rest our heads

My family and I had to come to FL for a family emergency and we booked this pretty quickly. To our luck the place was a hidden gem. It was extremely clean and very charming. Karly was wonderful to communicate with and responded very quickly. The back yard is the best part as its a very peaceful and private retreat with a gorgeous tree in the back. It was exactly what we needed to come home to after long stressful days. Another half bath would have been great, but not necessary. Definitely would stay here again.

Wonderful Home!!

What a wonderful place to stay! Karly and Gabi were so friendly, and quick to respond. They did such a wonderful job renovating and Decorating their home. We booked a last minute family trip from Colorado ( 5 adults) and debated between a couple hotel rooms or staying in a house. My gosh we are so glad we picked this home! We weren’t totally sure what to expect with no reviews yet, but this place is going to be a standout in the area for years to come….it is really well done!! All the beds were very comfortable and had fun design elements. The soaking tub outside was a unique way of having water available For the Florida heat. Overall we had a great stay….Thanks Karly and Gabi, congrats on the new listing, we had a lot of fun!!

One of a Kind!

Banyan ReTREEt elevates the typical vacation rental into an entire experience! This family friendly getaway is tucked into a safe neighborhood not far from all the shops and amenities you find at home. The backyard renovation was a big highlight to our trip, allowing the kids to run around and play while the adults prepped for the day. We took full advantage of the tree swing, the pool, the mini golf, and the BBQ. The inside of the home is filled with all the amenities you could need, and the decor is full of little surprise treats you will discover throughout your stay. As hard as it might be to leave the comfort of the home, the location is ideal with numerous excursions in the area such as fishing charters, Everglades air boat tours, beach spots, and several museums and local hot spots worth exploring. There is a guide book when you arrive with many recommendations. They even provided beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas for the days we went to the beach. I would highly recommend the property and hope to stay again!

Most Unique & Special house we've ever stayed in

Just Wow! We lounged in the soaker pool both days and absolutely loved it, the backyard in general is such a great place to hang out. The interior of the home is so unique, the way they've decorated is funky and sooo cool, unlike anywhere we've been! Hosts are very kind and easy to work with, we would come back in a heartbeat. Thanks for letting us enjoy your magical little home :)

About the host

Hosted by Karly Findorff

Host profile image
Karly & Gabi here! We are the proud owners of Banyan ReTREEt, a little slice of paradise in South Florida.

We bought this home as a first big venture into entrepreneurship and ultimately going after our dreams of owning a small boutique hotel one day. We have owned the property for about 9 months, and put 7 months of work into the home and both back and front yards before launching the rental. There was a great deal of work to be done, but our mission was to accomplish a majority of things on our own, so we got to work and learned more in 7 months than the past 7 years!

Every single inch of the home has had a tremendous amount of thought and care put into it. Our artistic styles, and love for the wonderfully weird and eclectic have come together to create a space all its own -- She has personality for dayz!

Why they chose this property

As we were looking for a home to purchase, the stress of finding that "perfect" space was constantly ringing in our minds. As fate would have it though we strolled into our current home and knew immediately we had found our space.

The one determining factor you ask? The Banyan TREE of course :) The backyard was completely raggedy and overgrown, weeds/dirt everywhere, etc.., but even with all of the mess, this majestic tree stood tall and proud and full of mystery. We were sold 5 mins into the first viewing :)

After months of backbreaking work and installing most everything ourselves, we are so proud to show off the transformation we were able to complete. The backyard is such a special place for us, and for anyone who comes to visit. We hope you get the chance to experience the magic it brings!

What makes this property unique

The great part about our location is the proximity to the Beach (less then 5mins away) but also how close we are to Delray Beach, West Palm, Fort Lauderdale, Miami etc...
