From the owner to the property manager to the water taxi driver and the chef, the whole team works together to make your stay pleasant. This place is a great get away—enjoy some snorkeling, read (or write) a book, get some fishing in, or simply revel in the peace and quiet. The recommended cooks don’t disappoint and will bring food (almost daily) for a reasonable price. The water taxi is fast. The closets are spacious. There is a store about 6 minutes from the house (open from 3p-6p). Past guests have left books, puzzles, games and bug spray, etc. Easy living.

Things we loved: The locals. Captain Ronald helped us get around, took us to a local baseball game, to town, and to the cays, even when it was super windy. His brother Melvin made us an amazing dinner, and his wife and daughter made us tamales as well because I love Honduran tamales and none could be found in Utila. Trish and Dave were there to answer all of our questions regarding the island and locals, and the house in general. We loved that great snorkeling could be found right outside the door, and we had a dock for nighttime gazing. Things we noticed: It was just the two of us, so we enjoyed the upstairs two bedrooms only. If we came down with the whole family, we would probably rent Coral House as well rather than use the downstairs. The first story bedrooms smelled slightly musty, which is actually pretty typical for beach homes. We used up a bit of electricity trying to cool the bedroom at night. I forgot to mention to Trish and Dave on my way out, but it seems as if the AC units in the bedrooms could use some attention. All in all, we loved it and can see ourselves coming back. This is definitely a place to unwind and disconnect. If that's not your thing, Utila will probably not be your ideal vacation. But it was great for us.

Staying at pineapple place was such an amazing experience. We were truly able to disconnect, unwind, and enjoy paradise. From the time we landed on utila until our last sunrise it was a memorable trip. Snorkeling the coral reef at the end of the dock was a highlight each day. The property managers Trish and Dave make everything easy.....From assisting with arrival and departure plans, stocking the house, to any other request they are always there to help. Their company is just an added bonus. Be sure to have Melvin cook dinner for you at least one night or you will truly be missing out on a fun experience. He took us fishing one morning and we were able to eat some of the fish we caught that day. His brother Ronald is also a great perk to coming here. He can take you to utila town, the cays, or to Neptune’s for a great meal. We were lucky and even saw some dolphins one morning. It is a true paradise.

Great trip! Thanks Trish and Dave for making this an easy vacation. Awesome to walk into a stocked fridge with fresh fish ready to go. House is simple, open and has everything you might need. Dock is wonderful. Sunsets from the upper level were a highlight. Great place for morning coffee too. Snorkeling off the dock was great- agree with all the other reviews. Huge variety of fish. Saw a feel rays, a rare spanish lobster and some huge schools of snappers. Nice low key diving with Bogdan and his team at Utila Cays Diving. Very small group made us feel very pampered and safe. Plus amazing cinnamon rolls! Couple of home cooked meals with Melvin and Kristi- yummy and entertaining. Thanks for everything!!! We loved Utila!!

Our family of 8 stayed at Pineapple House for the last week of March 2019 and had a wonderful and relaxing week. The house is great and accommodates a large party easily! Trish and Dave were very helpful before and during our stay (with travel arrangements, provisioning the house and any other questions we had or that came up). We enjoyed snorkeling off the dock and right from our own private beach, scuba diving off the dock, a day trip to Water Cay, excursions to different places in Utila and lots of family time on the big deck playing games and just relaxing and watching the fire burn in the pit right below us on the beach. The sunsets were spectacular and we were lucky enough to see a beautiful one every night of our trip! Overall a wonderful trip, at a wonderful house if you want seclusion and quality family time.

To start the pictures are accurate, which is why we chose this place. The best part was meeting the caretakers, Dave & Trish. We we’re new to the island, don’t speak Spanish and had no idea on what we wanted to do till we got there. Dave & Trish helped us arranged everything we wanted to do from snorkeling, diving, deep sea fishing, trips to town and even arranged for us to have the house stocked with food. The location was perfect, house was very clean, everything there to stay for 7 days, but the people we met around this location made the trip our best vacation ever. This place will be the only place we stay until we buy a home down here.

Nice house. Nice beach. Trish the caretaker was great! Owner was very helpful & very accommodating!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pineapple House in Utila! Dave and Trish the caretakers for the property provided top notch service consistently and were very helpful in setting up water taxis to Utila for us and were very informative and knowledgeable about Utila. The house itself is amazing! It's very well laid out with 4 generous bedrooms and a large living room. All of the appliances and features in the house worked perfectly. We especially enjoyed the outdoor covered porches to hang out on after a day or paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, or scuba diving. The snorkeling along the reef out in front of the house is world class in my opinion. This house is very well cared for and I give it a "10". Thanks for such an enjoyable and memorable experience.
