We had a great time at Pineapple Cottage. Really enjoyed the location and the kids especially loved walking to the pier. This was our first stay directly on Anna Maria and we would definitely visit again. We especially enjoyed the private backyard and the pool was well maintained. Thank you for such an enjoyable family vacation!

This was our second year staying at the Pineapple Cottage...already booked for next year. Some of our family liked it so much while visiting, they will be renting An Island Place Cottage out front next year. What a wonderful vacation spot...great location, wonderful facilities, and a great place for our dogs! Just got back and can't wait for next year!

Owner response:Thank you! It was great having you come back this year, and we look forward to your visit next year, in both cottages!!! Sue, Gina, and Fritz!

We enjoyed the pool and the “Pineapple Cottage,” too. It was the perfect spot for us to go to the beach and see some exciting stores and beautiful sunsets, too! I would definitely recommend coming back here again! We all had an amazing time, and hopefully we will be back soon! “It was great. We would wake up, eat breakfast, and then go to the pool for an hour and then go to the beach. It was the best vacation ever, and I tried fishing for the first time and caught four fish.” Thank you!

As we have begun to pack for home (we leave tomorrow), it is with much hesitation. This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island. Won’t be our last! We are already talking about next year! “Pineapple Cottage” has been such a relaxing refuge for our family this week. Everything is so quaint and comfortable, not over-done. Beautiful, none the less. We love the location, and I wouldn’t change a thing….especially being able to float in the lovely, private pool. Thanks for a great vacation!!!

Sue, Thank you for providing such a charming cottage for our stay here on Anna Maria. The cottage decor, the pool and yard, the beaches, the Pier, Pine Street and shops are only superceded by your warm and welcoming personality. Please be sure to know we will visit you and Pineapple Cottage again!

Completely lovely………...loved the island, loved the beach, loved cycling around exploring, loved the cottage and the privacy of the back garden and pool and especially loved seeing dolphins whilst having dinner at the City Pier and breakfast on our last morning at The Rod & Reel! We had a very special time here.

We loved the Pineapple Cottage, it was very comfortable and the location was great. Anna Maria is a beautiful Island and we tell everyone about it. I can’t believe more people don’t know about it. It is as good or better than going to any island outside the US. Thanks for a great trip – we really needed it!

We enjoyed a wonderful, funfilled week at Anna Maria Island. Our kids LOVED the pool and we loved the beautiful beaches. The weather was picture perfect! The house worked perfectly for our family of 4 (even if we could never get the kids out of the pool!).

We loved Piineapple Cottage. A very beachy decor and so relaxing! It was a nice walk to Bean Pointe, and the view there is fantastic. Thank you, sue, for your hospitality and being so friendly. This is the best cottage we have rented in the past four years. The Johnsons

Dear Sue, Thank you so much for allowing us to rent such a lovely cottage. Having family that live here on Anna Maria Island, it was the perfect place to entertain them when the weather turned. Having the BBQ and TV and a private pool has definitely been much more convenient and personal than staying at a hotel. Thank you again; we LOVED the house!! Sincerely, Blair & Patrick Patterson/Gallagher

After the journey from hell, we arrived at Pineapple Cottage. It is absolutely perfect. Everything we need. The kids had a ball in the pool. We loved the location... walks to the Piers and the beach, the best beach we have ever been to! The cottage was very comfortable; the photos on the website do not reflect the quality and space inside. Highly recommended. We will be back. With thanks, The Cooper Family, Leichestershire, England

Sue - thank you very much for letting us rent the Pineapple Cottage to allow our friends to spend the night here in Anna Maria Island. We absolutely love this area and the place is very nice. The pool with the jacuzzi jets was super relaxing. Thanks for all of your hospitality!! We want to come back next year for more than a few days. Thanks again, The Beckwith's

"This was our first trip to Anna Maria Island. The articles written about the area were true--this really does have an old beach area feel to it! We enjoyed the size and location of the cottage. The pictures online don't display it as well as being here. The area restaurants were a delight and the bikes were well used! We met Mark who let us use his kayaks one morning before the rain started. Thanks for working with us to let us stay at your lovely cottage." David and Joann Clack

You have been absolutely the most gracious hostess ever. We will definitely be back and wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else. Thank you for everything! See you again soon!

Subject: Anna Maria Heaven Hi Sue, Oh My Gosh, Thanks so much for such a delightful place to stay during our Spring Break. I just loved the Pineapple Cottage. We all had such a relaxing, fun time! The kids were so enamored with the ocean, waves, sand, etc! We saw dolphins, ate on the pier and met lots of great friends. Thanks again! My friend, Connie, commented to me so many times how lucky we got to find your place! I do not know what is going on next year but if I am able to go to Florida, you are tops on our list for a a place to stay.

We were very impressed. The website was very well representative of what the cottage was like. It was clean, and you thought of everything. If I needed something, be it scissors or a suggestion for dinner, it was here for me. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much, so glad we came. We will be back for sure!

Pineapple Cottage is a lovely place to stay on Anna Maria Island. It is not only tastefully decorated, but it is also a very comfortable place to relax. We enjoy the quiet, private, and cheerful setting of the cottage. We also think the location of the cottage is perfect because we like the short walk down to the City Pier and shops. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Pineapple Cottage. J. DeKoker

Dear Sue: Just wanted to let you know what a great time Marlene and I had during our recent stay at your charming Pineapple Cottage. The unit itself is everything we hoped for and more! The location is great (so close to Mamma Lo's, the Waterfront Restaurant, the Anna Maria Pier and all those other great eateries! And you, Fritz, Mark, Adelle and all the other locals just added to the charm and experience! It should be obvious that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely Pineapple Cottage, since we booked it for two future visits prior to our departure. Say hi to Fritz for us. See you all in September! Mel & Marlene Lindauer
