Oceanfront Condo! Patio to lawn, stay right at the beach!
Happy Pineapple Condo: Amazing beach-front condo, right on the beach with the best beds ever!
The Happy Pineapple is one of two (VRBO # 1899645 and # 1125777) relaxing and fun beach getaways where you can enjoy stunning proximity to the beach, a dip in the pool and ocean, and cocktails in the backyard. Staying in for the evening? You can enjoy the attractive vibe, open floor plan, and state of the art technology (fast wi-fi, 27-inch iMac) inside your own condo. Please note: as hurricane protection, the city has built up the dunes to be higher and higher, but you can still hear the crashing surf and see some ocean, but we can no longer see the waves break on the beach. We still love the convenience of parking next to the door (the closest spot) and walking right into the condo.
Our condo is located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, one of Florida’s most vibrant beach towns. Whether you plan to bring your board and hit the waves, enjoy local bars and dining, catch some live music, quiet strolls along the beach or simply enjoy breathtaking sunrises from your sofa or patio, you have every option at your fingertips.
The condo is conveniently located within walking distance of all of the top local attractions and is just a couple of miles from popular Neptune and Atlantic beaches.
The Happy Pineapple condo has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and is located on the ground floor of a friendly mid-rise beachfront community. Don't mess with narrow staircases or slow elevators when you can walk right out of your living room to the lawn and pool! The bedrooms each have new beds, with a king in the master and a queen in the guest bedroom. The condo sleeps 4 comfortably, but can accommodate up to one additional guest on the couch in the living room or an air mattress (provided by request).
We also accept pets on a case-by-case basis. Our pet fee is $29 per night per pet. And we have a short pet agreement for you to sign. Please note that the building does not allow pets to enter the common lawn and pool area, and our building recently enacted a 50-pound size limit on dogs.
Here are some additional features you will find at the Happy Pineapple:
· Living room with floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass door leading to our lawn, the pool and of course the music of crashing waves · Large master suite with walk-through closet and custom-tiled shower · Eat-in kitchen with views and well-equipped with everything you need to prepare any type of meal at home · Dishwasher, microwave oven and garbage disposal · Washer and dryer · New TVs in living room & bedrooms - each with streaming TV (YouTube TV subscription provided for live TV) · High speed Wi-Fi with 27-inch iMac Apple computer · NEST thermostat and smoke (& Carbon monoxide) detector · Keyless entry (no keys to lose!) · Beach chairs and towels for you to use during your stay · Beach gear like umbrellas, shelters, sand castle kit, etc · Patio with Adirondack chairs and community back yard, rarely used by other guests · Community oceanfront pool · Dedicated parking spot, located right outside the front door- easy loading in and out! · Baby equipment (Pack and Play and infant booster seat) available upon request for small guests and/or visiting grandchildren
We keep all of our items at our condo so your packing and traveling is easier.
The Happy Pineapple is the perfect seaside retreat, offering both rest and relaxation and plenty of dining options and nightlife, right on your doorstep. It’s the perfect fit for anyone looking to enjoy a magical oceanfront sunrise while sipping coffee on the patio. Or to read a good book by the pool. Or take long strolls on the beach. Enjoy the surf and sand. A family holiday. Romantic getaway. A visit with relatives who live nearby. Or even a local escape for those who live in nearby towns.
In addition, we are located near the following attractions: · Jax Beach Pier = ½ mile · Mayo Clinic = 5 miles or 10-15 minutes · TPC Sawgrass Golf Course = 8 miles or 22 minutes · Everbank Field Stadium/Downtown Jax = 17 miles or 30 minutes · Jacksonville International Airport = 27 miles or 37 minutes · St. Augustine = 32 miles or 1 hour · Disney World = 160 miles or 2.5 hours

We look forward to sharing it with you and providing you with an exceptional experience. And we hope to host you again and again, and get to know you. We want you to love it here as much as we do!

Perfect little place for us! We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very accomodating and thoughtful. We will definitely keep them in mind if we travel this way again.
Sanddunes blocked the ocean itself. A very relaxing place to stay. The sound of the ocean is relaxing. The sunrise from a short walk to the beach was awesome. Twisted we had sun every day but 2. The rain and wind were still nice and made me enjoy my stay much longer.Thecondo had everything we needed. Had groceries delivered without an incident. I will refer to others and the pool was right out the back door.
The unit was clean, comfortable beds, nice yard and pool. Overlooks the. Dunes with beautiful beach access a few steps away. Owners were helpful with questions.
This was a perfect place for our needs. We wanted to be near family for the holidays, and have enough room for them to visit us as well as take walks on the beach. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants as well as making meals in the well equipped kitchen. There was plenty of parking which also made it easy for visitors. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to the ocean. Access to the beach was also easy with a walkway right next to the building.
Cute and comfy condo, great location, and wonderful hosts. Everything you need for a day at the beach is supplied by the hosts. We enjoyed being right on the beach and just a few steps from the pool. Had a great time!!
We loved staying at the Happy Pineapple. The condo is right beside the pool and only steps from the beach. It was great that we could bring our dog with us, too.The owner was very helpful and the communication was very smooth. We definitely plan to go back!
This property is great in many ways! Location of the unit is steps from the pool and beach. Close to many restaurants, many within walking distance.Love this little property and will for sure be going back!
Host was very accommodating and great communication!

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
I feel the pics were misleading regarding the view. Yes i was aware of the sand dune, however, in order to see the water view shown in this pic you must have had to be standing on a ladder. Looking out standing floor level you could see a sliver of water if you looked to your far left. With regards to location and local amenities it was good location. The actual unit itself was very well stocked with what you need but unfortunately i couldn't get past the musty oder. Not sure where the oder was coming from but I felt that I needed to do some extra cleaning to try and eliminate the oder.For the price I was disappointed.

Hi Gloria,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we wish you would’ve shared those concerns during your stay so that we could’ve addressed them immediately, and potentially moved you to a different condo in the building. We were truly surprised to see your review, as this is not the experience we aim to provide and not reflective of our history hosting guests over the past 10 years.
We’re very sorry to hear that our condo did not meet your expectations. We work hard to be available and pride ourselves on being highly responsive. That said, we take your comments seriously and have already contacted our cleaning team to investigate and remedy the issue right away.
We also appreciate your note about the protective dunes. They do shift and grow over time, Jacksonville Beach spends a lot of money to keep them high, and while we try to describe this accurately in the listing, we understand how photos can sometimes create a different impression.
It genuinely disappoints us to know you left feeling this way. We care deeply about our guests’ experiences and are always open to constructive feedback so we can continue improving.
Really enjoyed our stay. The condo was exactly as advertised. Beautiful beach and pool area. Parking directly outside unit. Close to Neptune Beach shopping and dining. Quiet area. We would love to go back!
A beautiful, comfortable, and clean condo with super easy beach access, and the benefit of having a pool right out the door in the summer heat can not be understated! With great restaurants just a few blocks away, the Happy Pineapple is an absolute gem – looking forward to visiting again!
Although the weather mostly cloudy and windy, the condo was located in a convenient location. We enjoyed our visit.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this condo the moment we first visited. In addition to loving the condo itself, we couldn't have picked a better location. Not only is it oceanfront with amazing ocean sounds and breezes, it's right in the heart of Jax Beach and within walking distance to many popular attractions and restaurants. We also love the expansive beach right behind the property - perfect for morning walks, all-day play, water sports and a short walk to the Jacksonville Beach pier. Not too rowdy, not far from the fun.
You won't want to miss the stunning sunrise from condo's patio. Our favorite thing is to watch the sunrise there with a cup of coffee. It's also a great spot to wind down in the evenings. And, of course, the building's pool is just steps away from the patio. We love an afternoon swim with the sounds of the waves in the background!

Ground floor unit means no elevators, no stairs, and easy luggage in and out with direct access to the lawn and pool. We are also provide plenty of beach gear (towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella) and a fully equipped kitchen so that you can feel right at home.
