Private Dock and Pool, Minute to Open Water

Thanks so much for booking with us! We're so glad you all had a great stay!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the manatees, pool, bikes, and kayaks—that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope our guests have. I really appreciate you pointing out the step on the dock. Safety is so important, and I’ll make sure we get that more clearly marked right away to help prevent any future trips or falls. Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love to host you again anytime!

I love this review! Thank you so much! I'm so happy you all had such a wonderful and loved the house and location! I hope you can return! You're always welcome!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear the home had everything your family needed for a perfect stay. It’s great that you enjoyed the pool (and all the fun extras!), as well as those beautiful sunsets from the top deck—such a special way to end the day. We’re glad the bikes and kayaks added to your experience and that the fully stocked kitchen and cleanliness of the home stood out to you. That’s exactly what we strive for! We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay.

Thanks Stuart for the awesome review! You all were wonderful guests and we hope you can return!

Thank you for taking time to leave a review. This is so helpful to us as well as future guests. So glad to hear you enjoyed your visit with us. Relaxing by the pool and watching for sea life in the channel is one of my favorites! Please know you are always welcome to return!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay! You all were wonderful guests and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the property. The beach is less than 10 minutes away and the house in located centrally, between both of them. The neighborhood is in transition, but there are multimillion dollar homes all around this property. That is VERY typical of the keys from Key Largo to Key West.

Thank you for this fantastic review and sharing your experiences while here. This is most helpful to us as well as future guests. Please know you are always welcome to return!

We are so happy to know you all had a such a wonderful time and enjoyed everything Blue Shell offers! Thank for the details and the tips for all the guests! You are were wonderful guests and we hope you can return! Warm Regards, Meredith and The Pineapple Properties Team (one side note, Pete is my maintenance man but helpful in many many ways!)

So happy you all had a great time! I do wish weather would always cooperate, but thankfully it didn't affect your stay much. The access to open water at this house is fast, but depending on tide it can be a little tricky but I've never had a guests that could not navigate it. Thank you all for being such wonderful guests and I hope you can return!

Love this review! Thank you so much and a big thank you for being such awesome guests! I hope you all can return!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. Since there are some 4 and 5 star ratings, I want to address some of your ratings and comments. First of all, I'm so sorry there was construction during your stay. I had no idea or I would have let you know. I'm glad you recognize that is out of our control. Regarding your rating on the location - the location is direct to ocean in seconds - it just doesn't get any better than that! The vast majority of properties in the Florida Keys and I'm unclear why you think that is a negative. Sometimes there are weeds and I get that can be frustrating. Regarding the dock...there are so many photos of the property, including drone shots, that clearly show there is no railing. That should have been no surprise to you. The purpose of the dock is for boats and other types of water crafts and it would be impossible to have both if there was a railing. No one has railing on their docks. Regarding check in, all the emails went out on time and the email with the code went to you 3 days before your arrival. However, you didn't text me until shortly before arrival regarding the code. There was glitch with the wifi and although the email went out on the time, the code wasn't in the body of the email. I responded immediately and got you the code before you ever arrived so I'm unclear why you rated a 4 star for that. Overall you said you had a wonderful stay and I'm very glad for that! We had lots of great communication during you stay and you never mentioned any of these items in those texts. I would have been happy to address any of this with you then.

Thanks Gena for the 5 star review! The pool and dock are monitored when the property is empty as it is illegal to leave them on when guests are there. Having said that, I'm really glad you loved the house, found it pretty and clean and that you loved the location!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great stay and took full advantage of everything—from boating through Sombrero Bay to enjoying the bikes, kayaks, and outdoor space. It sounds like you made some amazing memories (and how special to see manatees so often!). We really appreciate your kind words about the home, amenities, and communication, and we’re glad the pool heat recommendation made your experience even better. Thank you as well for your understanding regarding the nearby construction. We’d absolutely love to host you again anytime—come back and visit the Keys soon!

Thanks for the 5 star review! So glad you loved the property and enjoyed your stay!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. I have never had any complaints about an odor and to the best of my knowledge, no one has smoked in the house. The staff has never mentioned either to me and we are there regularly. I wish you would have asked for anything you needed and we would have provided immediately. I have never had complaints about either of those two items either and we have regular guests. Thank you again for booking with us!
