Now to the good stuff! :) Entire Home! Host is not on site! No Cleaning Fee at Pineapple House and we cover ABB's guest service fee! We just ask that you are kind to the home and leave it neat and orderly; we'll still take the same great care getting the home ready for the next guest. :) Pineapple House is over 60 years old and, though greatly cared for, shows its age in some places. Expect to find some loving wear, quaint aging and charming patina both inside and outside. It is a block-built home, which was once the rage in Florida as they can generally withstand up to 250mph wind, though they don't tend to have the same aesthetic appeal as a traditional stick built home, therefore requiring a little more creativity with colors. :) The home boasts three bedrooms and one full bath. Two bedrooms have king beds and one has a full bed. One of the king beds is lower to the floor to make access easy and it is more firm, while the other king is taller and has an additional mattress pad making it very cushioned (some have said like sleeping on a cloud). The home has central heat and air conditioning, though the largest bedroom also has an additional wall AC unit to make it extra cold. The living room and bedrooms have TVs, though you will need to use your own login credentials for access to Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc. We do have the Tubi app installed and The Roku Channel, which have news stations and movies available with no logon needed. No cable is provided. There is a washer and dryer in the home for your use, though you will need to supply your own detergent. There is a toaster and single serve Keurig coffee maker in the kitchen, as well as all of the typical pots/pans needed to make a home meal. Spare linens for the beds are in the linen closet when booking longer than 2 night stays, as well as bath/beach/hand towels and washcloths. The dining table can seat 4 and is located in the kitchen. The back porch is covered and has solar lights that automatically come on at dusk and stay lit for a reasonable amount of time typical for most people to sit out and enjoy. There are 5 chairs and a small table on the back porch. 5 minutes to downtown Pensacola and 15-20 minutes (depending on traffic) to Pensacola Beach. We hope you enjoy your stay. From Pace Blvd, head West down St Mary St, then turn left (heading South) onto Q St. 2514 N Q St is approximately 1.25 blocks down on the left. Parking is in the driveway to the right of the home. The following notes are common questions we receive, so we figured we'd provide some answers here. This list will likely grow as we receive additional questions. A Lease and Deposit Will Be Required! 1) I have a prescription for medical marijuana, what are your rules? No smoking/vaping in or around the home! If you have a prescription for medicinal purposes that are in the vape/smoke form, please do it far from the entry doors/windows. If you are a smoker, please do so by the street, then properly extinguish the butt and dispose of it in the outside waste container. 2) Do you provide an additional discount for military/first responders? While we truly honor our military and first responders, we are unable to provide additional discounts beyond what is currently advertised; we are already one of the most price efficient hosts in the area, plus we don't charge for cleaning and cover the ABB service charge. 3) Why don't you charge a cleaning fee like others? We feel that guests who aren't charged a cleaning fee will help us out by keeping the home as tidy as possible. We still pay our cleaning team a fair wage, but that comes out of our pocket based on the hours put into the home. The cleaner the home, the less we pay, and therefore we can keep the overall cost of the home down for our guests. 4) Are there any TVs in the home, and if so, what channels are provided? A TV is provided in the living room and each king bedroom; they are FireTVs with Tubi and The Roku Channel (no account needed), as well as Netflix, Amazon, etc available for you to log in with your existing account credentials. Cable/antenna is not provided at this time, though Tubi has news, movies, etc, which are similar to cable television. 5) How close is the home to the beach? ~20 minutes. The airport? ~10 minutes. Downtown Pensacola? ~5 minutes. 6) How's the noise level? The home is across the street from an elementary school, where buses do arrive early morning and mid afternoon on school days, though aren't generally noticeable. Occasionally the school will have extracurricular activities that might be observed/heard, but do not impede the overall use of Pineapple House and don't tend to run late. Neighbors do have dogs, though are fenced and generally taken inside their homes at night. 7) Where do I place my garbage? We have waste bins in each bedroom and the bathroom for regular garbage. We also have a garbage bin and recycle bin in the kitchen inside of a cabinet. The primary cans, garbage (green top) and recycle (grey top), are to the right of the home. Garbage/recycle pickup is on Thursdays, so we will be drive by on Wednesday at some random time to move the cans to the street, then back by on Thursday/Friday to move them back to the right of the home; no interaction with the guest is needed during those times. 8) How do we check-in? Will you meet us at the home? We offer contactless check-in and out. You will be given a 4 digit code to enter the home via keypad at the front door. The code will be the last 4 digits of your phone number used at the time of booking. 9) When is yard work performed? Yard duties are performed during non-booked dates as to not interfere with guests, though during the busier season with back-to-back dates booked, we may need to perform some yard duties while a guest is staying; during those times, we will alert the guest ahead of time as needed. 10) How is parking? The driveway is a single car width drive, but 2-3 cars can be stacked one behind the other to fit. There is also enough room for 1-2 cars parked horizontally by the street on the dirt section of the yard. Please don't park on the grass due to engine heat and leaks tend to damage the lawn that struggles as it is with our Florida heat. 11) Can I check in early or check-out late? An early check-in or check-out is available, up to 2 hours before/after scheduled arrival/departure time, for an additional $50 charge if requested 24+ hours prior to check-in. We don't charge for cleaning, though still pay for it, therefore we get a substantial discount by allowing ourselves to be on housekeeping's schedule with whatever works best for them. For $50, they will allow us to schedule a specific time for housekeeping so that we can work with a guest's early arrival or late departure; we simply pass this cost over to the guest.
Please review and respect Benjamin's house rules during your stay.
Guest reviews from Airbnb
“Staying at the Pineapple house was just okay. We traveled from Indiana, and the place was easy to find. The surrounding area of the house was interesting to say the least. The jail is literally up the street, and the amount of homeless people you see is disturbing. Once we arrived to the house we immediately were hit with a mildew smell, that was covered with a “smell-good”. Over all the house was clean, and cozy just smelled dewy. One thing we conversed as a group were all the rules to the house, we were so focused on not breaking a rule it made it hard to relax! The question always is would we stay here again, and the answer is MAYBE. We couldn’t beat how cheap it was, and the short drive to different beaches but the location wasn’t what you expect to see when traveling on vacation.”
“It was a few place to stay. Close to the beach and my family. I highly recommend!”
“Una estancia súper cómoda la recomiendo 100 por ciento 🙏”
“Benjamin made all efforts to make us feel welcomed and swiftly get checked in. The space was very nice and as promised on the listing. I highly recommend booking this for your next trip!”
“I really enjoyed my stay. They responded within minutes and was very helpful everything was great.”
“This is our second time staying here and we were very satisfied. It's comfortable, easy to find abs clean. Will definitely stay again!”
“Was the perfect place to visit with friends, close by the school and the beach.”
“The location of this house is great. I will give it that. However, after driving for 9 hours to get here, we arrived to the home and the lock code I was provided would not work. We tried to message and call the host numerous times and waited outside in the yard for over an hour. We even call Airbnb support and they could not get in touch with the host. We then had to try and locate a last minute hotel incredibly late at night just so we would have a place to stay.
The communication from our host was very poor and led to so much disappointment
But again at least the house itself is in a great location. Can't say anything about the inside since we never got that far”
“Benjamin's place is everything it advertised and more. We would come back anytime!”
“We enjoyed our stay at the pineapple house! Very beautiful home and love the decorations! The house is fully equipped with everything you need. Everything was described as mentioned! Very convenient to the beach and grocery stores/ restaurants. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!”
“We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this site. It is located close to the beach's and many local attractions.”
“The house was so cozy and quiet. We felt right at home.”
“It’s a nice place, host is very friendly and responds in time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Good place to stay while visiting Pensacola.”
“My visit to Pinapple house was good. Chargers on the bedframe were great. Plenty of towels or papertowels/tp. Heat was a little too intense to enjoy the back yard but A/C inside was great. Parking is good for 1/2 cars. Neighborhood seemed fairly quiet and I had no issues with neighbors or anyone. About a 30min drive from Pensacola Beach, 45min to Navrre Beach. Make sure you get a SunPass from Publix for $5 if you plan on going to Pensacola Beach or you want to go out to eat somewhere fun like Crabs or Flounders. Benjamin and his wife were very helpful and quick to respond to any messages. For the price it's hard to beat, considering the hotels run upto 300$ a night.”

“As described and worked great for our stay (:”
“I would def recommend this cute cozy house. It went above and beyond our expectations! The pics looked super cute, but the place was even better in person! We all felt right at home there 😊 The house was super clean and decorated super cute. It made our vacation super enjoyable. We will def stay here again. .”
“The place looks so much better in person. The photos don’t do it justice lol. My friends and I had a great time at the pineapple house and would 100% recommend and come back to again.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house this last weekend. The washer and dryer amenities were an amazing plus compared to the other Airbnb listings in the area. Having access to a washer and dryer without hassle was a must for us and we were so happy with it.
The neighborhood was friendly and peaceful and quiet and the drive to the beach wasn’t too too long. Benjamin was very responsive and made us feel like we were in a secure and cared-for home.
The patio and back yard area was quite nice as well. Kudos on the collection of elephant ears.”
“a very nice house but the neighborhood was sketchy and was told by locals to stay away from that area.”
“Stayed here for a trip with my family and we enjoyed the pineapple house. The location was great for all the activities we did and the host responded to messages quickly.”
“Very responsive host and very clean AirBnB!”
“It was easy to find and get in.
Yet my biggest issue was a few roaches and 1 big spider decided to show up in the laundry room and went to the kitchen and I had to kill it in order to feel safe .
Otherwise I felt safe in that neighborhood.
I hope he sprays or hires some one to spray for bugs.
The place was clean and I wish the master bed had a newer mattress. If he corrects these small items, guests will give him a higher rating.”
“Overall a good stay. More foot traffic this stay than in precious stays. Had a transient individual approach myself and my children while we were waiting for the front door to open. Not a huge deal- just something to be aware of. The house itself is clean, comfortable and as described. Kitchen could use a bigger frying pan. Hard to cook for a family of six with only one small pan. House is one of the more affordable places in the area. As frugal travelers, we would stay again.”
“The interior of the house was nice and clean, and it was perfect for what we were looking for at a great price! Self check-in with the keypad was easy and convenient.”
“Very pleasant and quiet!”
“I enjoyed my stay at the pineapple House. The house was clean and spacious. I really enjoyed the back yard area.”
“We loved our stay here. We traveled with toddlers and they were right at home in the house. House was very clean and hosts were extremely proactive and communicative with us throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend, and we hope to stay again in the future.”
“My family and I felt at home and it was a perfect location as well.”
“The Pineapple House was the perfect spot for our family to stay for spring break! Very clear instructions to get inside, the neighborhood was quiet, it was very clean, beds were comfortable and our stay here went so smoothly that I didn’t even have to contact the Host at all until checkout day when I let him know we were leaving. It is close enough to the beach, yet still enough away that you don’t have to deal with traffic and is the perfect place for a small family to stay. Restaurants were super close by also! This Host is a super host for a reason!!! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Very nice and clean! Checkin and out was very easy! Thanks!”
“The pineapple house is absolutely gorgeous! By far one of the best houses we had stayed in while visiting the beach. I do believe it looks way better in person than it does in the photos. I really love the fact that everything was labeled ! The only bad thing I can say is the bed in the pineapple room was not my favorite. I did not like the way it slept, it felt as though I sunk into the bed. Even though it was not my favorite bed, the next person might love it. I will definitely book again.”
“Nicely decorated house, could be cleaner but easy to find in a nice neighbourhood”
“Loved the Pineapple house!”
“The place was a very comfortable and cozy place to stay at. We felt at home as soon as we walked thru the door. The beds were very comfortable and the amenities were as stated, even a we stocked kitchen as far as cookware and such. Thank you very much for the wonderful accommodations. We will definitely use this place again if we return to Pensacola for a visit and the size suits our needs (depending on how many guests we bring next time).”
“Great place to stay with family. We felt right at home. Will definitely use again and recommend in future.”
“Very nice and clean home.”

“Our host, Ben, gave us instructions before we arrived in regards to how to get in the home, and we had no trouble. We got in easy. Our stay was peaceful, and the home was clean and had all the amenities we needed. There was one bathroom, and we worried that there wouldn't be enough HOT water for each of us when taking a shower, but that was not the case. There was plenty hot water for our entire crew. We had a good time in Pensacola and enjoyed our stay.”

“the shower had a draining issue ……. and somehow there were A lot of flies inside the house, we accidentally broke their fly swatter because they were some big horse flies (I’m so sorry). The backyard cause use some cleaning too many cobwebbs in the sitting area in the back . The main bedroom bed must be pretty worn because my body instantly sinks into it as if someone 3x my size had been laying there my entire life. The flamingo room was absolutely the cutest and my children loved it.”
“We had trouble checking-in because the electronic lock did not work for us. Benjamin got back to us within 20 minutes and was able to unlock the door for us. The issue was resolved the next morning. The home was very clean and cozy. Overall we enjoyed our stay.”
