Home away from home

Loved this property. It felt like home away from home. Clean, well equipped and quiet. The only downside was the bridge construction causing delays to get on and off the island.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! I am sort of glad the bridge is not fixed as we would have more activity on the island, this keeps it nice and quiet 😊

Pine Island Paradise

The house and neighborhood were lovely. Rooms were well- appointed and spacious. The host provided all the condiments and kitchen supplies you would ever need! The proximity to a great kayak launch pad was so nice. Plus getting up to the research center and museum was only minutes away.

Can’t Beat It

Kim’s home is a small price of paradise on Pine Island. Can’t beat the location and the good vibes one gets while being there. Very well equipped with an excellent outdoor shower to boot! This property is a winner! Would not hesitate to return.

Nice place for family

This property would be a great rental for a family with kids. Good location & as with all elevated houses, the parking & storage for gear can't be beat. House was clean & we encountered no problems. Home has all the amenities of home & the screened back porch makes for a nice sitting area.

The #1 BEST RENTAL EVER !!!!! This was our 3rd. stay & hope we are able to return next year to escape the frigid cold (-35) in Bayfield, WI. This place has everything you will need especially in the kitchen. Kim was great about answering any questions. Loved the screened back porch & open front porch. Bikes, kayaks, beach chairs are all there. A quiet & safe neighborhood. PLUS, "DoggieFriendly

Cute and Cozy

The property manager Kim was so kind. She responded quickly and provided tons of helpful information about the local area for us! The kayaks and bikes were also lots of fun! We utilized the outside shower nearly daily after long mornings at the beach. This VRBO was very clean and we would definitely love to stay here again!

Perfect place in a laid back paradise!!

Kim has an absolutly beautiful home, the color outside is what attracted us, (our favorite color) and the way it is decorated and the colors inside makes this a little taste of old style Key West and I would give this a 10 plus! This home was very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need for your vacation! We loved the quiet neighborhood and the island with its laid back atmosphere and the good eateries! This was our first time to the island and we will definately be back! Thank you Kim for letting us enjoy your beautiful home on the island !!

THE BEST VRBO WE EVER STAYED AT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, the place is just gorgeous !!! Everything you could want was there. Crock Pot, clam steamer etc. ....................... Loved this rental.We already have booked it for a month next year. Neighborhood was very quiet with no property behind the rental. Limited places to eat but you are on an island that is just repairing the damage from hurricane Ian. Our 2 rescue dogs loved watching the chickens next door.

THE BEST VRBO

Our 2nd. stay for 2 weeks & hope to return again next yr. The home has everything you need. It is spacious with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, large front porch & large screened back porch. Washer & Dryer inside. Note: you need to be able to manage stairs. Only downside is that the bridge is still being rebuilt due to a hurricane, so plan on 20-30 minutes to get on & off Pine Island. Many restaurants.

A Well Designed House in an Appealing Location--Pine Island

If you like a rural, noncommercialized feel this location is ideal. This place was our base for active days of walking and bird watching. We enjoyed the critters that appear--mostly at night--an armadillo, Witch Moth, tree frogs, anoles and lizards. We liked the functionality of the kitchen and the living room. And the attention paid to design and decor. Got to be able to climb steps but no problem for me at 80 yrs old. We got take out from Pfuzzys and Berts. Good food. We went to Galt Preserve twice. We highly recommend this place. Marcia Pursley June 18-23, 2022

Amazing FL Get-Away!!

The Pineapple Treehouse was just lovely. The home is so adorable & comfortable! Kim has literally thought of everything! 1000/10!! My 2 little FYI’s for other travelers would be: 1. It’s pretty far from anything “to do”. Even though mileage wise, things seem fairly close, b/c of traffic, it takes quite a while to get anywhere (or at least that was our experience). 2. The community pool is about a 10 min drive away. It’s my fault for not asking specifically, but for some reason, I thought it was right IN the neighborhood. Other than that, our vacation here was perfect & we would 100% stay again!!
