Pineapples are a bit of Heaven on earth
Our stay at the Pineapple property was so lovely, relaxing and top-notch! Everything was up to date, furniture and bed very comfortable, kitchen well-appointed. Everything was perfect, and being so close to the beach was a great bonus! Thank you Elena and Kye for sharing you beautiful home with us. God bless you both. Pat and Kathy Meyers

Nicest VRBO
This home was clean, neatly decorated and well appointed. This has been one of the best VRBO experiences we have had. The owner lived at this property and you can tell it is loved. Hard to find VRBOs that aren’t just purchased and turned directly into a VRBO and never lived in by the owners-there’s a difference. Elena met us for check in. She is very nice, easy to reach and knowledgeable about the community she clearly loves. We will be back!

The Pineapple Cottage was a great place to stay!
Here’s a polished and professional version of your review: I cannot recommend the Pineapple Cottage highly enough. It was an exceptional place to stay. The property was immaculate, and the hosts were outstanding. Our stay was incredibly relaxing, and the location offered a peaceful retreat. Whether you prefer walking or biking along the boardwalk or through town, I highly suggest considering this property for your stay.
