Ali - thank you so much for choosing pineapple house! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and glad to hear you plan to return!
Four of us — two couples — had a wonderful ten days at Pineapple House. The house was quiet and comfortable, and the backyard pool and hot tub area was an oasis. The owner was instantly responsive when we had questions or problems. She said she wanted us to have a perfect vacation, and she succeeded.

So glad you all enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the backyard oasis as much as I do! I hope you all choose to come back again soon!
This house has it all! We booked on a last minute change of plans and are so glad we picked this house. The home comes with everything you need, whether it’s a pool day or going to the beach, you are well covered with towels, chairs, and more. There are ample kitchen supplies, too. The backyard is truly beautiful with the pool, hot tub, fire pit and grills. Location is great, with walking to a lot of restaurants and short trip to the beach. Christine was an incredible host and cannot recommend this place enough!

Amy - I'm so glad you chose Pineapple House and enjoyed your stay! I hope you come back again soon!
Wonderful family vacation spot! The pool was a hit with our graddaughters and offered the perfect amount of shade and sun. The patio umbrellas were a huge help. The house had plenty of room for our group of 5 baby. Christine made travel easy complete with pak'nplay and booster seat. Great kitchen, fully equipped with everything we needed for stay-in meals. The distance to the beach wasn't bad, but go early to find parking and a good beach spot. The location was ideal - close to groceries, restaurants and airport. Don't miss taking the trail adjacent to the house to Rendezvous French Bakery! Almond croissants to die for!Christine was a fabulous host, answering questions promptly and very helpful. The place was extremely clean too! A few of the outdoor furniture pieces were tired but understandable with the Florida sun.Great family vacation! Thanks!

The house, property, pool and all the extras were awesome. Christine was very helpful and responsive when we needed something. Lots of extras for our family to use and enjoy. However we had thought we could walk to the beach when we booked the place, but no worries. It's only an 8 minute drive or ride on trolley. We definitely recommend and maybe we'll visit again...

Good morning! I’m sorry the pool was cold. We’d love you to stay with us again! Please note if you do, the pool heater can be turned on/up. With the seasons changing, it probably was not turned up. Thanks again for staying!
We had a wonderful stay at the pineapple house. It was clean and well equipped with anything we needed. The location is great to go to Siesta Key, Lido beach and UTC. The pool was a hit with my daughter and having pool floats and toys was a huge help. The hot tub was great to relax in at night when it got a little cooler. We hope to make a return visit sooner than later. Christine is a great host with superb communication.
