Very special place. Great location. Caring owners. Many clocks and lightbulbs not working. Maybe a message to be the light and live beyond time? Great energy. Dishes, etc were all labeled to be a certain number in a certain place, but it didn’t compute. All the same, the cluttered cabinets and mislabeled stuff added to the charm of the experience. Practice non-judgment. Owners had soap, toilet paper, garbage sacks, Kleenex and paper towels—all of which we brought with us because most rentals don’t give such gracious hospitality. Thankful. We loved the front porch, especially the swing. Such a gift and a grace to feel welcome in every moment. Pineapple motif everywhere. A reminder that we are called to live with kindness and generosity.
Great space, clean, close to the beach!
We love staying at the Pineapple Retreat! Everything you need for young kids!
Overall we had everything we needed to give us a very happy week.
The property manager was always available to answer any questions. The place was in neat order and located in a cute enclave. I am giving four stars to the accuracy of the listing because the enclave’s beach was not Lake Michigan’s but their own lake which sufficed for us but was not expected.
Got some of my best pals together for a long weekend and we had the BEST time at the Pineapple Retreat. The house was the cutest place ever and we absolutely loved the amenities. Our host responded to questions super quickly, and everything was just lovely. Hands down one of the best weekends of my life!
The pineapple retreat was great great location cleanliness welcoming I enjoyed myself I had friends and family with me and we had a great time we will return again and I will be telling other friends and family members about what a great place this is.
Spacious rental with everything you could possibly need. The home is equipped with everything you could want in the kitchen (all the standard pots/pans/utensils plus spices, condiments, foil wrap, etc and even a griddle for making pancakes). They also provide linens, toilet paper and paper towels, hand soap, and laundry detergent. Best of all was the beach chairs, pool rings for the kids to dive after, sand buckets and shovels for the beach, and 2 adult bicycles, a child bicycle and a couple scooters! The location was perfect - a short walk to the beach and the only road you have to cross has stop signs where the crosswalk is at. Or, walk less than 10 houses in the other direction and you're at the resort's pool with splash pad, the cafe with coffee, a few food options, and ice cream, as well as billiards table on the second floor and ping pong on the first floor. Close enough that the kids didn't complain about the walk and far enough that we didn't hear the noises right outside our window. I do think it's important to note that you have to purchase a $5 parking pass per vehicle and to use the amenities within the resort, each person needs to wear a $15 wristband (that you keep on for you entire stay). If those extra fees were mentioned in the listing, I didn't make note of it so it was a surprise to me; however, I felt it was well worth it for those perks. Great stay overall and can't wait to come back!
Just perfect
We absolutely loved the Pineapple Retreat!!! It was perfect for our family of 10. A little piece of heaven on earth. Plan to return next summer? Excellent location for both the beach and pool. Screened in back porch was a favorite as well as the front porch and swing.
