Shady Pineapple was a perfect home for our family’s stay near the ocean. We loved the pool and backyard area especially for the kids. Beach was close Great location for everything!
We enjoyed our stay so much! Loved the open concept first floor with pool on the same level. Allow our family to be together even more. The location and beach access was so easy.
We hope to return.
This was our second stay in this home with our children and grandchildren and we can't say enough about how much we love our time here. The amenities of this property saved our vacation due the beach being double red flagged throughout the majority of our stay, due to weather conditions. A few of our favorite things about this property is that there is plenty of areas for everyone to have their space, the fabulous gourmet kitchen, the outdoor space / pool area and the close proximity to the beach. We also enjoyed walks and bike rides with our grandchildren around oyster lake.
Had a wonderful time with two families (9 people) staying at the property. Hosts were great and very on top of communication, as was the property manager. House was clean and had plenty of space, including room for several more than we had. Just a few blocks to beach access. Backyard area with pool, turf, fire pit, and covered back porch is among the best you’ll find on 30A. Would definitely stay here again!
Had a great stay at the property with three families with young kids. Excellent location, super clean, well appointed kitchen. Tons of space to spread out. Backyard is amazing. Would definitely return.
The property was very spacious and clean. Our family of 10 including grandparents, parents, and college age kids had a wonderful time. The Beach was in walking distance. The backyard pool and games were enjoyed by all. We had a wonderful time.
This home was perfect for our family getaway. We hired a private chef, and the kitchen fully accommodated the chef’s needs. Perfect location for our beach bonfire. The property owners were very kind and responsive for all of our needs. Check in process was easy, with no issues. 10/10. Great stay!
The house itself was everything we hoped for. The pictures are very true depictions of the space, but it’s somehow even more beautiful in person. Our group had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. The walk to the beach was incredibly short, and the beach itself was incredible. We’d love to come back one day!
This property is very impressive. I have been booking vacation houses all across the East coast for almost 20 years. This the the first place I would definitely stay again. It has a wonderful outdoor area The pool is large and there are plenty of seats surrounding it. We grilled a couple nights and that was great. The kitchen has the best island and refrigerator I have experienced. I had occasion to speak to the owners and they were very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this rental
My family and I had a great time. Beautiful property with an amazing backyard. The kids played in the pool and loved the turf yard to play catch with the football. Minute or so walk to the beach with an access point that does not get busy. Only complaint is my wife says this is the new standard and properties this great are hard to find! Ha! Would for sure book again!
The week was great…the house is beautiful, the pool and backyard/porch/grill were perfect. All bedrooms worked great for our family with kids age 2 Mon-7years old. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. The beach was an easy walk.
We would definitely stay here again.
Only issue was the house code we were given never did work so we used the property managers code (he provided) without any problems.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The house was as described with plenty of things for the entire family to do. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the beautiful beach. Played corn hole and enjoyed the firepit. The back yard and porch area was a big hit with everyone. The beach equipment and the bicycles was awesome. We grilled and cooked several meals with everything you needed. The house is beautiful and everything detail was thought of for a wonderful stay. Hopefully we can return on another adventure someday.
Fun and Generously Accomodating across Three Generations
We visitied with our Daughter/Son-in-law and their three children (ages 3-5-8) and their other grandparents. The house had all of the accomodations for an active famiy, plenty of space for together time and also areas for quiet quiet time when needed. It was also convenient that each floor has it's own thermostat to suit varying comfort levels. We also enjoyed the breeze from the balconies. Loved the gourmet kitchen, bicycling around the neighborhood, close proximety to some of our favorite places to eat. We loved this lovely home and location so much that we booked it again for next year within the week of our return home.
We had a delightful Fall Break at this property. The house and amenities were as described in the listing. It was nice to have a pool when the kids were ready to return home from the beach and relax before dinner. We cooked most meals at home and enjoyed our dinners on the porch. After dinner, we did smore's at the fire pit while the kids did night swimming. It was a short walk to the beach, but we did rent a golf cart, which helped with shuffling kids and beach equipment back and forth. The homeowners provided great communication and follow-up after our stay. I would stay at this property again and most certainly recommend it for your stay.
The house is even more beautiful in person than the photos. The outdoor space is amazing as the kitchen and family open right up to covered porch, pool and patio. Great evenings hanging out at night and playing corn hole, ping pong and swimming. One of the best houses we have ever rented. Beach was short walk and we rented a golf cart to carry all the stuff and parked at that access right across with no problem.
Only negatives were very small issues and not a big deal to us… washer and dryer are very loud and right off kitchen with no door, outdoor lights did not work due to water in bulbs and mattresses not super comfortable but positives of the house far outweighed those smaller things. Hosts were very responsive and check in and out was very easy. Highly recommend this house!
This beach home is beautiful and checked all the boxes for my daughter's bachlorette trip. It has a big kitchen and big bedrooms. The decor is white and very pretty but just hard to keep clean. The pool and backyard are really nice. The walk to the beach is an easy 5 minutes unless you're lugging a bunch of beach stuff and then it takes longer. Beach access has 3 sets of steps. No Ramps...so we found using our beach buggies were more trouble than helpful. It's easy going down to the beach and hard coming back up to the house. Golf cart rental is recommended!
Very spacious home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and the frig/freezer were huge. The backyard outdoor space was perfect. We enjoyed the heated pool, the firepit, and the backyard games. The golf cart and bikes were also great. The garage has many items for you to use at the beach which was just a block away. We definitely recommend staying here!
Perfect home for large families- plenty of room and activities available for all age groups. Everything you need is there - so nice to have towels for the pool available. Home was clean and well supplied. Definitely recommend this beautiful home as close to beach and wonderful backyard with pool.
This is a beautiful home, looks just like the pictures. Quiet street with a convenient, quick walk to the beach. We loved our stay here and will return.
This house was in the perfect location and provided us with everything we needed! It was well stocked. The extra pool towels were a plus! Having an umbrella in the pool worked out great for those who still wanted to be in the water but not the sun. We will definitely book this gorgeous house again!
Very nice house with a short walk to the beach. Golf cart is new and was fun for short trips. Our kiddos loved the pool as well as the small turf area for playing. I enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and felt very safe there. We had plenty of space for our three families to spread out, and the big kitchen allowed for several of us to be in there at once. This property was a great location for our annual family beach vacation.
