You can tell that owners take great pride in their property and being a great host. Appreciated how everything was clearly marked in the house. We made use of the beach chairs and beach cart. All was in excellent condition. Super easy access to the beach, plenty of parking. It made vacation so relaxing. We loved having a beverage each night on the porch.

Great place for a family and a great value
The hosts have done a great job of taking this house and maximizing it for a family. We had six folks in our group, 3 teens and 3 adults. There was more than enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably and find a spot to relax in the daytime. We never felt on top of one another. Everyone enjoyed the screened front porch with ceiling fan. This is an older home that was renovated and the open floor plan with the kitchen', floating bar into the dining and living area made for a spacious area for us to all hang out and have family dining nights with everyone around the same table. The AC never struggled and the temp and humidity inside were better than any other place we've stayed and I've been coming down here since the late 90's! With six people we were really grateful for two walk in showers!We rented a golf cart and having a covered carport to keep the cart and stage our stuff for beach trips was another positive. Next to the carport was a fire pit surrounded by white gravel and 4 Adirondack chairs. It was a great place to relax in the evening and with the string lights off take in the stars. Behind the carport was a small room with the laundry and anything beach related you could want: beach towels, toys, chairs, umbrellas, a beach caddie.If I really wanted to pick a nit, a few more bath towels and one large skillet would be a nice addition. But those seem like ridiculous quibbles. The hosts were genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our stay and we did.A

Perfect
The property was clean, maintained a good temperature, had plenty of space, and was perfect for our dogs. The porch and the yard were excellent touches. The property was close to the beach and had an excellent selection of restaurants within walking distance. Check-in was simple and easy and the selection of beach equipment was very helpful.

Quite and Peaceful
Overall the property was clean and conveniently located to the beach access where you can take your dogs. It was a 2 minute drive from the property. There was also a off leash dog park close by as well.We enjoyed how quiet the neighbors were during our stay.

Vacation Week at Sandy Pineapple
We had a great time at the Sandy Pineapple! The VRBO listing was accurate and we arrived to find a very clean home that was very well stocked. Views of the sunset from the screened front porch, the fenced back yard for our 2 small dogs and the short walk to the beach were wonderful amenities. Thanks Jenn and Betsy for your great communications starting on Day 1 when we booked our stay!

Perfect stay near the beach.
This quaint beach house has everything you need for a perfect beach getaway. The backyard with a fire pit is the ideal spot to wind down after a day in the sun. The host went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, providing everything from dog accessories to beach towels and even an arcade machine for the kids. If you're looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay by the beach, this is it.

Quaint and Cute: great location!
The location was perfect! We were only minutes from the beach- and it was an easy walk. Our mother, who turned 75, was in heaven! She walked to the beach every morning- and sometimes at night too. As did the rest of us. Upon arrival we were surprised by towels and bowls for our dogs! They enjoyed the fenced in backyard. It was great sitting outside or in the enclosed patio for our morning coffee. Very peaceful. The dining room table was perfect for our group of 8- not just to eat but also to play board games. It’s also not far from St. Joseph Bay where my brother and the kids went clamming a few nights. Having the Dollar General Marketplace nearby was very convenient when we decided to make s’mores over the firepit. We all very much enjoyed our stay!
