Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time taking our entire family on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The property comfortably accommodated all 16 of us, with plenty of space thanks to the two separate houses. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. We did encounter a minor issue with the dishwasher, but the hosts were incredibly responsive and quickly resolved it. They were helpful and attentive with anything we needed or had questions about. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a spacious and convenient stay near the beach! ##### Joseph A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanna W. 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful accommodations We loved our stay. Plenty of space for everyone. The pool looks smaller on the photos but it was a great spot to hang out even with all of us in it. There is no parking for the beach access but we dropped off so only 1 had to walk the entire way. If you have older kids/adults the walk is not bad but we had several littles. The decor and photos of the house are accurate. ##### Jeanna W.

Reviewer Comments: I did not experience any of the concerns mentioned by the previous guests. The house was clean, comfortable for our large family, and we would definitely return since we enjoyed the large space, the pool, the separate guest house, the relatively close walk to the beach, and with many great food options nearby. the Private beach access was also a plus! ### 8/10 Good #### Dale R. 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### St Francis rental This house has a great location and plenty of space for our family. Our grandkids loved having the private pool to play in after returning from the beach. Upon check in, there were five bathrooms of which only two had toilet paper. There were no extra trash bags and no dishwasher pods/soap. The kitchen is poorly equipped but the gas grill was nice. It could definitely use a thorough cleaning. All things considered, I would rent it again. ##### Dale R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Korey & Kathy H. 15 Apr 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### A bit pricey but lots of beds.... Plenty of room for a large group. We used the main and guest houses. We had to have been the first renters since last season, film of dust on all surfaces and musty smelling, including the bed linens. We prepared most meals there and both kitchens lack a few basic necessities (no coffee machine in the guest kitchen). A few lights didn't work, a few windows didn't open. We had a some plumbing issues and property manager was generally responsive. The house backs up to a very noisy and busy street. Much confusion on the directions for beach gate and the passcode didn't work. Great location if you're looking to be close to shops and have a large group, as the guest house alone will sleep 6 comfortably. Plenty of bath linens. ##### Korey & Kathy H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mitchell S. 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### July 2025 week long stay, overall good experience. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the house. It's an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, stores, etc. House is spacious and comfortable. We had 4 teenagers and 4 adults. There was a tropical storm, so we spent more time than normal in the house and we were all very comfortable.Very important to read all the info they send, so you're aware of what you need to bring and\\or prepare for. We were notified before arriving that the guest house dishwasher was unavailable. A few hours before checking in we were alerted the main house AC unit went out and would be replaced the next day, to which they offered to reimburse us half of our first night. The AC guys were great, though they were there half a day with us in the house. Normally wouldn't be an issue, but the weather was iffy for beach time our first few days. The next day, clothes got locked in the guest house washing machine. The initial person sent out was quite the character and unable to help. The next crew who came out got the clothes out, but we didn't risk it again, so all laundry and dishes had to be done in the main house. The cleaning crew could do better - didn't appear they'd swept under the dining room table, hair in bathrooms, and everyone's feet ended up black\\dirty before we'd even gone to the beach.Dishwasher and main house washing machine leaked a bit as well, but we adjusted the seals and kept an eye on them.They were quick to respond to issues.All things considered, it's quirky, but we enjoyed it! ##### Mitchell S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kim J. 27 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Family Vacation While this house is incredibly large and can accommodate a large extended family there were some misleading things and drawbacks. First, the second house is over the garage making and the loft area with the four twin beds is EXTREMELY hot. They do provide fans but it was still warm in there. Additionally they truly only provide starters of items that you usually find in a rental (paper towels, toilet paper, etc). We had to purchase our own toilet paper after spending a significant any amount on this rental. It was off putting and seemed cheap. Additionally they do not provide any beach items. We had to bring towels and purchase boogie boards and bring sand toys with us. Again for just a couple hundred dollars they could make the user experience more positive. Last issue we had was how LOUD the street is nearby. I know they can’t control this hit just know that you will hear the cars traveling at all hours. Most nights it’s not bad but starts up early in the morning On the plus side this house is large and the pool (whole small) was nice to have. The community pool is very close too. It’s in a nice gated community and walkable (1/2 mile) to the beach. We enjoyed the house and our time at the beach overall even with the annoyances. ##### Kim J.

The pool was not cleaned until the night before my check out date which is very inconvenient ##### Katelyn C.

This home was not what I expected. The reviews stated how clean and well kept this property was and that was not my experience at all. Things were broken all around the house (light fixtures, door handles falling off, and other small things), paint was chipped and scuffed. The pool house had a horrible chemical smell, the pool was filthy, master shower jets didn’t even spray with full force due to build up! I can keep going! I tried contacting housekeeping and never received a call back. If you are use to a well kept clean house I do not recommend this location! ##### Ashley M.

I reached out to the host and was told they would get the pool cleaned the next day. Which to me, I would think if you knew you had guest checking out the same day as other guest were checking in...you would get it cleaned. The host let us know someone would come and alleviate the trash situation and they did not until a day or so later. For mainly the entire time we were there we had to leave a pile of our trash bags against the pool gate which made the place look trashy because we could not use the trash bins. Also when I messaged the host they wanted US to pack the trash in our personal vehicles and drive it down to another rental they have. Absolutely unacceptable especially for the amount of money paid. None of us had a truck to put in the back and haul it. Overall the house is spacious and roomy. The cleanness upon arrival I would say is mid. Which is understandable because sand is tracked in everywhere. Like stated in a previous review...for the loft area in the out house it does get a little warm. Bring a fan. The location of the house is a couple blocks from the beach but you still have to drive there. Also this house is located in a gated community and ALL houses are very very close to each other. So if you are wanting to play a speaker while in the pool it will have to be on low volume. ##### April G.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a great layout for our group of 15, 8 adults and 7 children. The few issues we had at check in were quickly taken care of and in a very pleasant manner. The pool was great for the kids and one of the community pools is just steps away. The inside of the home does need updating. The coffee table in the main area should be removed since it has a screw sticking out of the top. The king bed upstairs is two twins mattresses and there is no usable exit off the main bedroom to the patio. All that being said, the trip was a great success and we enjoyed our stay here. Just know the house is not perfect looking but it’s a great place to stay. Couldn’t have asked for more accommodating managers to work with. The beach is a bit of a hike, but discovered on last day we could park on south end of subdivision so the walk was easier on the littles. Thanks for a great 50th anniversary trip! ##### Mary C. ### 8/10 Good #### Lakeisha C. 28 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving Destination Vacay Beautiful home! We had a great experience! There are a few minor touches that could improve the experience. 1\. Fix the stove top so it does not require manual ignition with a lighter. 2\. Check the toilet in the carriage house because it takes a long time for the water to fill the take after usage. 3\. The ceiling fans seem to have only one speed, high. 4\. The knob for the fan on the range hood does not work. This is a fantastic unit in a great location! Again, these are minor observations that can be fixed in one day, and they would not keep me from renting this location again. Thanks for a great experience! ##### Lakeisha C.

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Pineapple Villa. Overall the home was clean, easy to access and in a very walkable community. A couple of downsides were the listing marketed this property as sleeping 18, which we needed. However, it only sleeps 16\. Thankfully, we anticipated this error before going down and took an air mattress with us. Just be aware of the discrepancy before traveling (hopefully management will correct this soon on the listing). Otherwise, the beds were comfortable and no-one complained. The other thing to be aware of is the walk to the beach. It is just shy of 1/2 a mile walk. This was not a problem for our group, but those with little children might want to take this into consideration. The walk is easy and mainly through the neighborhood, which is cute and felt very safe. We would return to the Pineapple Villa in the future! Thank you for an enjoyable stay. ##### Brandon B.

Reviewer Comments: Overall the home suited our family needs. There were plenty of beds and baths and places to sit and eat. All of the eating was done in the main house bc of the space and all the cookware was there. The knives were extremely dull, ALL the drinking glasses were dirty and there was no baking sheets or baking dishes. It only came with one roll of paper towel roll on each unit and 1 dishwasher pod. We wasnt sure how to cut the exterior lights on at the pool area and the white couch covers in the main house were extremely filthy. 4 min drive to the beach,10 mins from the outlets and restuarants. Didn't allow an early check in due to cleaning but the dishes, couch covers or floors weren't cleaned! Beds were comfortable, no issues with bathrooms ##### Shawn W.

Very clean. All the information I received via email before arriving was on-point. I didn’t have ANY issues. My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We were upset that we didn’t reserve the home for more than 4 days. ##### Valaria S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ---
