About this property

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 are not only the property managers, but we are the owners. The Happy Pineapple is a special place to our family where we are creating many happy lifelong memories. 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! Looking forward to hearing from you!

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.

5 Star Oceanfront Condo with Pool!

My family stayed for a week at this oceanfront condo nestled in a lovely area of Jax Beach. The beds and linens are extra soft & luxurious. The washer & dryer in unit are so convenient. We loved the ease of parking and access to the pool & patio area. The owners are quick to respond and very accommodating.We rented a golf cart, and dined out in Neptune & Atlantic Beaches. There’s a Mellow Mushroom within walking distance. It’s a great place to stay!

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!

What makes this property unique

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.
