We enjoyed our stay to the fullest! Christopher communicated with us before, during and after our stay. He is one incredible host! The house was perfect for us and our furbaby Tanner! The bed was so comfy and house was clean. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable vacation! We will definitely be back!

Pineapple house was great! Would book this house again when I'm back down that way. Communication with property manager was great got all my information before I got there. Had a blast going fishing while I was there.

Overall the property worked well for us. We liked the privacy fence for our pup, and the proximity to ferry. House was clean, but one night it sounded like a critter was in the attic and walls. Deck could use some repairs but we would stay here again. Good communication with the host, and prompt responses.

This was our first time to stay in here. The house was clean and the owner was very responsive when we had any questions. I loved the fenced yard and sitting on the deck to enjoy the breeze. The area was quiet and there was a small beach and jetty that I could walk to.

This place is nestled on the east end of the peninsula. It is exceptionally quiet there, which is perfect for a get-away from a busy urban life and if you like to fish, you are minutes away from a jetty with a bait camp. A very good bargain!

This was the first vacation for I and my fur baby. It was peaceful, amazing and the best place for a dog to run free. I got to focus on my writing while my dog got to run around until it was time for lunch. I am definitely coming back sametime next year!

We booked a 3 night stay and our first issue was a heavy sliding wooden gate. I think it needs some work to unstick it. The 2nd was dead roaches on tge floor. There was a smell of sewage coming from the bathroom. The air vent was very dirty. The house pictures are true to the space. There were lots of pots and pans. The house is cute, a great location to the ferry and I believe with some attention it will be fine. We didn’t stay as my husband has a lung condition and the vent made the air vent questionable. I did notify the owner that we were not staying and why. He never responded.

House was very clean, updated and comfortable. Plenty of dishes, cooking pots/pans & utensils, toaster, coffee pot (it’s kuerig & regular brew type). Bed was comfy. Porch was great to sit and enjoy the
breeze. Property owner even provided beach towels, which was awesome as we forgot ours.
Perfect home away from home, just minutes from the beach. Exterior of the house is being repainted and we can’t wait to come back and see it all finished!

My boyfriend and I had a free weekend out of our busy schedules and wanted a super stress-free weekend. The communication with the property manager was great. They were able to answer our questions, even before we needed to ask them. The property was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed to cook. Plenty of clean towels for bath and beach use. We didn't need them, but there was an assortment of children's toys. We will definitely consider staying there again.

Everything you need and nothing you don't. The place was nice, quiet and clean. It's surrounded on a couple sides by uncleared lots. I really liked that added seclusion and the view across the wild greenery. My little dog LOVED the fenced yard and especially trotting up and down the stairs next to the banana trees. We really enjoyed the less busy beach about 4 miles up the road off Boat Rd. The owner was also helpful and friendly- he called me immediately when I sent a message inquiring about food delivery. (Bring your own, or plan to go out!) This was a business planning trip for me- next time I'll bring my husband and enjoy the place in a more leisurely way!

Very pleasant house to stay in. Love coming back from the beach and relaxing in comfortable furniture with some tv, etc. Great location with a 5 min drive to the beach and 10 min drive to all the food.
There were a few things around the house that need some attention. Some broken plumbing and clogged shower. Toilet needs to be reset and is leaking from the bottom. We found a couple wet dirty towels from the people that were there before and it seems the cleaning people could have used a little more time.
Overall, though, it was a very nice house and any issues we found were barely an inconvenience.
I would definitely stay here again!

Took my husband for his birthday. We had a nice four day getaway. The fenced yard gave us privacy as well as plenty of room for are two fur babies. The home is in a nice relaxing neighborhood and the beach was just a short drive away.
