This mini-resort is NOT just for sleeping! It's for doing or not doing. So many things you can do or just relax on the property, swim, fish, grill & chill, walk to dinner & dancing!
PS: We have high-speed internet DSL in rooms and wireless on covered patio. We also have blow dryers--so bring your laptop and your hair!
We are located directly on beautiful Charlotte Harbor! Our waterfront resort features not only wide open views of Charlotte Harbor and spectacular sunsets, but also all of the fun, relaxation, and charm that you would expect from your perfect getaway retreat.
In fact, we are the ONLY public lodging where you can walk out your door and BE ON THE WATER!
We offer Kayak rental for our guests to tour the shoreline of Charlotte Harbor as well as the beauty of the Peace River.
Our 500 ft. dock will provide your "catch of the day" for dinner! Just clean it and cook it on our gas grills!
Life here is very friendly and casual. You'll feel right at home! Bring your boat if you like! There is no extra charge!
On a budget? Don't want to spring for a car? NO PROBLEM! If you are staying up to 3 days, you can survive without a car. A taxi ride is $15 to $20 to the motel. Then you can rent our bikes for $5 each per day. You can bike for groceries, over the bridge to quaint Punta Gorda downtown, to Fishermen's Village and to the parks. Since you'll have a kitchen and can grill out, and fish, and swim, you'll be plenty busy in the sunshine!
Banana Bay Waterfront Motel offers both motel rooms and efficiencies with fully equipped kichenettes. Stay for a day, a week or a month!
Enjoy the variety of nearby restaurants and shopping.
Just minutes away from historic downtown Punta Gorda and Fisherman's Village.
Area Beaches with a boat ramp are just two miles away. Bring your boat!
We believe you'll be very happy here, but don't take our word for it! Go to tripadvisor.com and type in "Banana Bay Motel Port Charlotte Florida." You'll find a bunch of honest evaluations to help you make your decision! Hope to see you soon!
