This home is absolutely perfect for a beach vacation getaway. It is really beautiful with a great open layout on the main floor and spacious bedrooms upstairs. We had two families with 5 kids total, but could have easily had another family. Pineapple Retreat is filled with everything you could possibly need--from a sandpit for the kids to play in to beachchairs to beach coolers to games for kids and adults to a fully stocked kitchen (more dishes, cups, wine glasses, cookware, spices and condiments than you could imagine.) It is the perfect distance between the pool and the beach. We kayaked, learned to paddleboard and spent countless hours at the beach and playing in the pool. Wonderful home and wonderful vacation.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We stayed at the Pineapple Retreat with a few families including a few young children and everything about our stay was perfect. The house is stocked with everything you might need including cots for young children, plenty of linens, kitchen supplies/condiments, screened porch, etc. The home is beautifully decorated, clean, more spacious than the pictures make it seem and child-friendly (cushioned stairs covered with non-slip mats, minimal/no sharp edges/corners). We have stayed at a few different homes on the Beachwalk and so far this has been our favorite. We hope to be back again soon!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

My family and I just returned home from our vacation at The Pineapple Retreat and all we can talk about is how we wish we were still there! The house was amazing. My 4 year old niece even said it was beautiful :) There is so much fun stuff to do there. We enjoyed the basketball court and playground a few houses down and there was also a really cool playground for the kids that we found at the back of the community. We loved having the beach so close. It was only about a 5 minute walk, if that. The house had everything we needed, including basketballs, beach toys for the kids, a wagon, booster seat and so much more! I can't say enough good things about this home. My family and I will definitely be back!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pineapple Retreat. It's located in the perfect location in Beachwalk - near the pool and beach. Additionally, it's great for kids as there are plenty of bunk beds and three separate sand areas so the kids can play as you are getting dinner going. It is very well stocked with every imagineable appliance, gadget, and more. Our family particularly enjoyed the porch swing.Recommended for: Families with young children.

We rented the Pineapple Retreat for my family (3 separate families) who came in for a wedding. It was perfect! Not only was it clean, well maintained and spacious, but it was beautiful and had a great location. The 4 boys (all under age 8) loved the beach, the nearby lake, and playing in the sand. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of tables & chairs for everybody. Our experience was fantastic - no complaints at all!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Relaxing Bachelorette Party Weekend

We had my sister's bachelorette party at the Pineapple Retreat in late June 2011 and had a great time! Our plan was for the 8 of us girls to spend a relaxing weekend at the home and that's exactly what we did. The house was furnished with everything we needed - the fridge was even stocked with condiments and things we needed to complete our meals! The first floor of the house is open and perfect for a large get-together like this. We enjoyed sitting on the porch swing in the front with our glasses of wine, and having breakfast on the screened in patio out back. It was only a 5 minute walk to the beach, less than 5 minutes to the pool, and very close driving distance to wineries, shopping and restaurants! The house had everything we were looking for and we had a great time. See you next year, Pineapple Retreat!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children.

I had never been to the beach walk before so I went in completely blind. We went with 2 other families and had a total of 5 toddlers. I loved this house because it was a half a block walk to the pool in one direction and if you went a block the other direction you would be at the beach. The front yard was a huge sandbox that the kids loved. There was also a great screened in porch in the back. This house had everything you would need and had everything we forgot. I highly recommend this and the family was great to work with.Recommended for: Families with young children.

The Pineapple Retreat was the perfect spot for our weekend mini-reunion of eight siblings from Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri. The house was roomy and impeccable with lots of welcoming features, starting with a fresh pineapple sitting on the kitchen island. Everything we needed was right at hand, and one of the best Lake Michigan beaches (Washington Park, Michigan City) is a short walk from the front door. We would definitely return to the Pineapple Retreat.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.
