About this property
Across from Pool, Amazing Porches & Tower in Seaside proper, + 2 Adult Bikes!
Named after the owners' favorite Jimmy Buffet song, "Banana Republic" offers a stylish combination of tropical and mid-century décor, sleeps seven people, and is located a stroll away from both the West End pool and the beach!
Upon arrival, guests will be greeted with a beachy and colorful cottage exterior, as well as a spacious, furnished, welcoming front porch, featuring seating and overlooking Forest Street. The expansive open-air front porch is furnished with Adirondack seating for four perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon book. Step inside into the first-floor foyer, as this level of the home includes two queen bedrooms, which conveniently share an outdoor porch and full hall bath.
The second story offers a sought-after combined living plan. There is a full kitchen with breakfast bar seating for four. The dining room is adjacent and comfortably seats six for dinnertime. The adjacent living room has two large sofas with seating to accommodate all and a large mounted flat-screen TV. This level additionally provides a generous, relaxing open-air porch that provides additional lighted outdoor dining for six, a lounge area with sofa and club chairs, and an additional seating area for two. What a great space to sit back and enjoy the salt air and good vibes that surround you.
Guests can head up a set of stairs to the split-level second floor to find a large king primary bedroom, featuring a full, large, private bath with double vanities. Additionally, there is a half bath at the landing of this level of the home. Finally, make your way to the third level to discover a magical aspect of this incredible retreat- a glass-enclosed tower room, which opens onto an open-air deck, offering an amazing view of the town. In this room, you will find a twin bed for an additional guest. If you need a beach reset, look no further than ‘Banana Republic!’

We loved our stay at Banana Republic over spring break! The house is right across the street from the larger community pool and a short walk or bike ride to everything else. We especially loved the proximity to the beach and central Seaside area. The house was cozy and had a fantastic porch to relax on.

This house is amazing and the best spot ever!!! This is our fourth house in Seaside and the best one yet, we loved it SO much! Super short walk to everywhere!!! Pool is literally in your front yard and the private beach pavilion is just a short walk past that! You literally cannot beat this location! My family and I enjoyed our stay and will be back next year! Thank you!!!
Banana Republic was awesome! Lots of comfy room, Patios are excellent! Fantastic close walking location to beach, restaurants, etc. & pool is right across the street. Would stay here again! Loved it.
We had a blast in the house. It was perfect for teens to adventure around safely and access to the pools and beach can't be beat. Perfect location on a quiet street away from the busier areas but easy to get to those when you wanted them

We had a wonderful time with our three kids in Seaside. The house is perfectly appointed with nice sized rooms and great family area. Our favorite was the upstairs patio- perfect for morning coffee and lounging/reading and game playing on the outdoor table. We love the amenities and the quiet street walking distance from the beach and private beach access. We will be back!!

We loved it. Right across from the pool. Easy to get to everything
Was concerned about the walk from house to beach pavilion as we had an over 60 yr old, a pregnant Mama and a toddler. But, pleasantly surprised how close it was!

We loved the location and architecture of this house and had a great family vacation. Proximity to the west pool and ample parking were a bonus. Would love to see a modern tv and better internet for those rainy days at the beach but overall great house!

The house was perfect for our daughters and their friends. Great space for cooking and eating and resting with room to get away for alone time too. Love the location and only needing to get in the car for the grocery and a dinner out one night. Kids could bike anywhere and love the pool across the street.

Our family of 5 recently stayed at Banana Republic and we had a wonderful time. The home was great - great location, amazing access to beach pavilion and Central Square. The concierge was very helpful and responsive in dealing with some minor issues unrelated to the home. Check in and check out was really easy and done via text.
Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Banana Republic on our Seaside family vacation. The property was spacious, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and bathrooms were great, with two showers and two bathtubs. Location was perfect! I would definitely stay at this property again!

Banana Republic is in a great location in Seaside proper, right across from the West side pool. The house has wonderful outdoor spaces that are well furnished to actually use them. We spent lots of time on the tower and the upstairs porch, eating. reading, and playing games.
