About the host
Hosted by lynn jacobs
We are a small family of three. I discovered Longboat Key and its surrounding islands about thirty years ago when traveling to Florida on business. I never forgot the incredibly beautiful sunsets and Gulf beaches and the peace and tranquility I found on LBK, and, when I got married, I couldn't wait to share my "discovery" with my husband. We have since traveled the world together, but we always return to LBK. When we grew tired of "ho-hum" moldy and out dated vacation rentals, we started our search for the perfect vacation home and were fortunate to find "our" Pineapple Cottage.
Why they chose this property
As they say, Location, Location, Location...We consider Country Club Shores, where our home is located, to be one of the best neighborhoods in LBK (and possibly Sarasota). We enjoy boating, kayaking and fishing so having the canal and access to the bay in our backyard is ideal. The beach is a quick stroll across the street. We often bring our dog, Lucky, when we visit and it is great fun to meet our many dog loving neighbors as we walk and admire the beautiful homes and manicured gardens throughout CCS. The location is ideal for a quick run to Publix or St. Armand's for a bite or getting off island to visit the "city". We love searching for off beat things to do and have discovered hot springs and even gondola rides. The "icing on the cake" is the cultural side of Sarasota including the Ringling Museum, shows and independent film festivals and events at Selby botanical gardens.
What makes this property unique
Being a home owner has enabled me to bring my personal attention to detail and style to The Pineapple Cottage. I have a passion for decorating and creating beautiful spaces. We love the layout of our home and that there are so many special areas for relaxation and entertaining. Even when friends are staying with us, we all seem to find our favorite spot in the house and it never feels crowded. Since we both still work, we also have plenty of work areas too; my husband favors the den. My favorite spot is on the lanai where I can close the french doors for privacy and gaze at the numerous egrets, herons and other sea birds fishing in the canal. Our son favors the heated pool, fishing from the dock and watching TV in the living room. No matter how often we visit, the wonderful swaying palm trees that surround our home are always a welcoming sight. In our absence, we have an amazing team that keeps the Cottage spotless and attends to any concerns. We enjoy pleasing our guests and sharing our special oasis with them.
