Welcome to The Salty Pineapple! Come and find your Happy Place! This cheerful beach house is newly renovated and designed with resort inspired amenities that will enhance the quality of your vacation! Relax and unwind in our gorgeous outdoor oasis, surrounded by tropical plants and nestled under the majestic oak trees.
This is a hidden gem nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac where you can hear the ocean waves calling! The Salty Pineapple has been designed with a lot of love and thought to make it a perfect space for relaxation and unwinding. This coastal hideaway has been completely remodeled from paint to flooring and everything in between, with high-end finish work, modern light fixtures, open shelving, custom trim, contemporary bathroom vanities, beautiful tongue and grove flooring, extra wide granite countertops. Another gorgeous feature of this house is its original wide tongue and grove Oakwood ceiling. A mix of designer furnishings and decor from West Elm, Pottery Barn, Thomasville, and Nautica and pieces from local artists create not only the feel of living inside the pages of a magazine, but also a comfortable place to kick off the shoes, wash off the sand, and enjoy a dip in the hot tub on your deck while grilling your favorite cut!
This home is the left side (side A) of a duplex beach cottage set in townhome style, less than 2 blocks from the blue ocean. The front driveway and backyard are common to both homes.
We have added a NEW fence in the middle of backyard patio to allow for better social distancing. The fence is a retractable screen so it’s very easy 1 step click to remove or put up if needed!
