Our stay at Pineapple Sea Esta was wonderful! The home is beautiful & is located in a lovely neighborhood.Heather our host was great! She was easy to communicate with & very prompt to respond to my questions.The home is very clean, actually spotless! The bedrooms are decorated nicely. The beds & pillows are very comfortable & make for a relaxing night’s sleep. The kitchen is well stocked, as are the bathrooms. Loved the shampoo, conditioner, body wash & lotion provided in the bathrooms. The heated pool and spa were a huge hit with the entire family! The pool patio area is beautifully landscapedit feels like a tropical hideaway! We enjoyed our stay immensely & can’t wait to come back! BH
This place was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect with access to many beach areas, dining and activities. The house was well stocked and had everything by we needed to make us comfortable. The host was easy to get ahold of and made sure we were very well cared for. This house is a very short walk away from Manatee River and the sunsets over the river are breathtaking. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and spent a ton of time in the pool. We can’t wait to return and hope to stay here again!
-The EXTREMELY LOUD Open Door/Open Pool Door Alarms drove us crazy! ex: no one could exit the apt section to go to the kitchen in the mornings to get coffee or go out to read by the pool or go for a walk from anywhere in the house without setting off the alarms which were so loud they woke everyone else sleeping in the house. We were told they could not be turned off.
- There is no wifi in the apt section - which makes the tv in there unusable because that tv is streaming only.
-For a house that sleeps 10, it was extremely disappointing to only have 3 beach chairs and one umbrella. We only had 6 people but we all needed a chair and partial shade at the beach at our age.
-There wasn't a normal coffee machine - just and expresso machine or a french press. We had to go buy a coffee maker for our use that week.
-As far as being by the river - we were told only when we got there that you had to stay off the piers - they were all privately owned. There was no other place to walk to if you wanted to take a chair & sit and relax by the river.
-The spa was disappointing and did not get anywhere near 100 degrees.

About the host
Hosted by Heather
I enjoy traveling and staying in awesome new places! I like hosting because when I travel I want an amazing experience with great service and that is what I aim to provide to you. I also love Pineapples, hence the property's name, Pineapple Sea Esta.
Why they chose this property
It is such a perfect spot, really! Only three houses down from the Manatee River. There are so many birds and neighbors say they see Manatee all the time by the river wall! It is only a short walk to the waterfront restaurants in downtown Bradenton. The property has views of incredibly beautiful hot pink sunsets (like you see in the pictures) and is located in a nice safe environment.
What makes this property unique
It has a nice open layout and a beautiful pool. The home is decorated to be coastal chic with nice high-end furniture and lots of Pineapples! It truly is a little tropical paradise.
