Beautiful cottage!!!!

We absolutely loved this adorable cottage!! It was perfect for my my family and the kids had a blast on the screened in Lanai with a pool and spa! The house was perfectly decorated for a beach house and very clean when we arrived! The owner was very easy to get in touch with and had timely responses if we needed anything! Very close to Manasota Beach! We enjoyed the Lock and Key Restaurant and the Sand Bar Tiki Bar restaurant which were also only about ten minute drive away. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely cottage with artistic flair

We were delighted with the cottage, from the decor, to the comfy beds, the lanai and pool, and the cleanliness. We were a group of 3 women and found it the perfect place for our vacation.

A lovely stay at the Pineapple!

We had such a great vacation at the beautiful Pineapple cottage! Located within quick walking distance of Shady Haven retirement mobile park, it was super convenient for us to visit with my brother and his wife. The lanai with pool was lovely - the neighborhood was super peaceful and safe. Snook's restaurant w/ live music was a very short walk away, as well as the Thursday farmer's market, various restaurants, parks and overall sunshiny Florida fun. The owner was super responsive and the place was spotless and so wonderfully decorated. There were beach chairs, towels, bikes - everything you could want, including Olympic coverage channels on TV! Thank you AC for such a memorable stay - we hope to be back next year!

Do you care??

My husband and I do a lot of travel and have experienced many different hosts . We really appreciate someone who seems genuinely concerned about your enjoyment and not just their money making. That was our experience here. We needed steak knives and she went to the store and bought some. She kept the pool temp higher because of the weather and when I left my vitamins she mailed them as soon as possible. I wish all hosts cared about our time there instead of just their bottom line.

I wish I could give 10 stars!

My husband and I travel often to Englewood and typically stay on Manasota Key. This was going to be a different type of vacation for us being in downtown historic Englewood. We absolutely LOVED this rental and turned out to be our best Englewood experience we have EVER had. The location is great! The pool and lanai were amazing and made for a dreamy rental! It was quiet, relaxing, and peaceful. A short walk to the best marina pub and Snooks! And a lovely stroll over to a beautiful nature preserve, Englewood garden club and the farmers market. The owners were a joy to work with and met any needs or questions we had timely. Pineapple street will be our new vacation rental moving forward it was truly the best vacation we could asked for!!

Englewood Stay in August 2020

My family stayed at this house in Aug and would highly recommend this place. Booking was smooth and the owner reached out and coordinated prior to our arrival. We let the owner know we had a 6 year old with us and wondered if they had any beach toys that might be around to use at the beach, upon arrival there was some brand new bucket with accessories for him to use on the front door. This small gesture really put smiles on our faces, I just had to share that. The house is decorated perfectly and was clean upon arrival. The pool in the backyard was clean and enjoyable, there was lounge chairs and shark hunting tools to take to the beach(Awesome). The beds were comfortable and the house had everything you would need for a vacation house. I highly recommend this house and plan on returning again soon. From Texas !!!!

Cozy cottage

Great place for two people with occasional visits from grandchildren. We spent most of our time in or by the great pool. The cottage was furnished nicely and equipped well—plenty of towels and many extras. One suggestion: a drying rack by the pool for wet towels and swimsuits.

A little slice of heaven!!!!

This home was amazing, owner was awesome, called us while we were traveling down from Kentucky. Was very helpful telling us things we could do in the area. The pool was the best, beach 4 miles away. Very friendly neighborhood, people out walking, Englewood town is close enough to walk to, be sure to go on Thursdays to the marketplace. You could not find a better place to stay and I have stayed in several condos for the past 10 years but this place surpasses them all.

Cottage with Key West vibe

We loved the cheery bright colors of the cottage both inside and outside. Enjoyed the heated pool and back patio for lounging and eating. The beds were very comfortable. Our hosts were available and wanting to make sure our stay was top rate and relaxing. We would definitely stay again.
