This was our first stay here, but won't be our last! My wife and I stayed here 3 nights and the accomodations were excellent (clean, roomy and comfortable). The host and hostess (Chuck and Susan) are extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were outstanding! We made friends at breakfast and the location is perfect to town, beach, etc.

With all these good reviews, you hardly need another in order to make a decision of where to stay in Venice. Chuck and Susan are delightful hosts, offering all the special touches and remembrances. The grounds of the Banyan House are wonderful, complete with a private hot tub and the first swimming pool in Venice. We're told Thomas Edison stayed... More

The Banyan House was indeed the best vacation spot we have ever experienced. We have been going back for seven years now and have always had a wonderful time there. There is always something to do...including the pool, hot tub, exercise room and the room where we played pool most evenings. The owners, Susan and Chuck couldn't be more accommodating... More

Highly recommend the Banyan House! The Inn is beautiful, Susan and Chuck are great hosts, the grounds are spectacular and there is not a nicer place on the island! We will return.

This is our second trip to the Banyan B&B on the island in Venice, FL. Proprietors Susan and Chuck see to your every need to make your stay a pleasant one. Unbelievable breakfasts challenge your palate each AM at 9. Beach cruiser bikes await you as you circumnavigate all the ins and outs of the island. A pool and hot... More

I wish to say at the outset that I had reservations to stay at the Banyan House but cancelled them after a couple of difficulties regarding my reservation. I am writing this review to share my experience that the innkeepers seem to consider changing a reservation's terms proper. Susan was very friendly and patient when I called in August to... More

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... More

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... More
