A perfect guys weekend in paradise
From the moment we pulled onto the property we were all blown away! There is nothing like waking up in the morning having breakfast and coffee on the dock planning out an awesome day. For our stay there we brought our boat and it was an easy launch/short ride from the local boat ramp to the dock, we enjoyed multiple restaurants close by that had boat parking that were a great time as well. Once the day was done on the water we’d get charcoal going on the grill and have a nice cookout right next to the awesome views of the water. Everything made us feel right at home from easy communication with the host down to the feeling of a clean welcoming home! Don’t hesitate to book this home for a family/friend getaway I promise you won’t regret it! Some local wildlife might surprise you too!

Peaceful location
It is very peaceful and quiet . There were a lot of deer wandering around the yard and we even saw an owl . Fishing is great off the dock . The restaurants nearby are good . The house is large and has a very open concept so you can cook and visit with family easily. The extremely large outdoor living area has a tv and plenty of seating . We will definitely stay here again !

Annual Girls Trip
Us girls try to do two trips a year and there’s 8 of us. To find a property that please 8 women is simply amazing. Words can’t even give you an idea of how fantastic the property and house are. Not only is the inside amazing but has an amazing dock and outdoors area. The inside and outside of the house were very clean we didn’t even have to wipe anything down before placing our groceries on the counters. The town of Welaka is so great everyone is so friendly and welcome us with opened arms. We’ve already decided we’re going back next year. Thanks, Kim, for being awesome!

Beautiful Property
My family and I had a wonderful time at this location. Everything was well thought out and planned out. The property itself is very peaceful, beautiful, and majestic. We had a great time just relaxing and taking walks through the property in the surrounding area. Very pretty location perfect if you enjoy boating, fishing or being among nature. We hope to return.

Amazing!
This is not a vacation rental, it is a vacation home! Everything about it allows you to feel completely at home while you are there. Kim was in contact with us early on and answered all of our silly questions and kept in contact with us as we needed. The house is as beautiful as it is in the pictures and there is no lack of beauty surrounding it. We also stayed at a beach house later in our trip but it paled in comparison to the Pineapple House. We will be back often.

EXCELLENT!!! GREAT TIME!!!!
The home and amenities were EXCELLENT! We have the same dinning room table and lighting over the table. We felt so at home. The fishing was good for the guys and the kitchen was good for ladies. The screen in porch and the dock was great for fellowshipping with each other. I can't say enough but THANKS!!

Beautiful home with so many amenities.
Fishing from the dock was so much fun, but beyond that , the wildlife that almost daily walked through the yard was so nice to see. We had deer, wild turkeys, and one we saw a weasel ! Had a lot of rain but we still want to go back again.

A Little Piece of Paradise
We absolutely loved our stay at the lake house. It was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. We spent most of our time on the beautiful, large screened-in patio overlooking the lake and appreciated having the covered dock for our boat. Our trip was nothing short of magical and we are already looking forward to enjoying this property again sometime!

Great getaway!
The house was perfect for a short getaway for 5 of us. Plenty of space, great fishing off the dock, beautiful sunsets. Deer and turkey in the front yard every morning and evening. If I had one "complaint" it would be a lack of pots, pans, dinnerware, utensils, etc. It's not enough to keep me away or give it a horrible review. The house and property are amazing.
