MAIN LEVEL — CHEF'S KITCHEN, ISLAND SEATING & DINING

For sharing food and drinks, you'll find serving platters and trays, small plates, cocktail and wine glasses, table linens, cheese and charcuterie boards, and plenty of serving pieces.
Bring home something delicious from a local market or one of Ballard's specialty shops, open a favorite bottle and make yourself at home. Pick out an album from our curated vinyl collection, put it on the record player and enjoy the evening.
◆ PARLOR (LIVING ROOM 1)
The Parlor is at the front of the home, just off the open kitchen and dining space. Anchoring the turret, it’s one of the home’s original rooms and a true showpiece. Restored with wood paneling, soft-close barn-style doors, mid-century styling and dimmable brass lighting, it blends historic character with comfortable modern living. Bay windows bring in natural light and garden views. Curl up on the sofa, stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, or close the doors and enjoy a cozy evening with friends.
◆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOM
Two uniquely styled Queen bedrooms are located on the main level and share one full bathroom. Both feature high ceilings, luxurious layered bedding, plenty of pillows and extra blankets, plush robes, dimmable lighting, and restored vintage campaign desks that double as a workspace or vanity. The home has central gas heating with a smart thermostat, so you can keep things comfortable on chilly fall evenings.
Closets include hangers, luggage racks and hooks for easy unpacking. The full bathroom includes a tub and shower with a rain showerhead and handheld sprayer, plenty of towel storage, and extra amenities in case you forgot something.
• Peacock Suite — Queen Bed
Located at the front of the home with soft garden-facing light, the Peacock Suite pairs rich jewel tones with a fabric headboard, brass reading sconces, and custom artwork. Convenient power and USB outlets built into the headboard keep devices within easy reach. Positioned away from the kitchen and main living areas, it offers a more tucked-away feel.
• Coral Suite — Queen Bed
The larger of the two bedrooms, the Coral Suite features tall windows, surrounding tree views, and a cozy swivel chair with ottoman. The built-in queen bed includes convenient power and USB outlets at the headboard, along with dimmable bedside lighting. The bathroom is conveniently located just across the hall.
• Flexible Sleeping Options
We provide several sleeping arrangement options for guests traveling with friends or for business. In addition to the two Queen bedrooms, two Twin beds can be arranged in select areas of the home or configured together as one King bed upon request.
OUTDOOR SPACE — BACKYARD & DECK
Step outside from the main living spaces to your fully fenced private backyard and deck. Relax in the hammock chairs or on the outdoor sectional, surrounded by mature trees and bamboo. The BBQ is available for grilling up an easy meal or some game-day favorites.
As the evenings get cooler, choose from two fire options upon request: the fire table surrounded by the sectional for a cozy lounge setting, or the separate fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Bistro lights and accent lighting add a warm glow for drinks, conversation and crisp Seattle evenings outdoors.
LOWER LEVEL — TIKI LOUNGE & ENTERTAINMENT SPACE
Just a few steps down from the main floor, our Mid-Century Modern Tiki Lounge is a dedicated space for music, movies and hanging out. Explore our curated vinyl collection, put on a movie, play some music or break out the karaoke.
A comfortable sectional provides plenty of room to relax, while the Tiki Bar area is stocked with additional glassware and a retro mini fridge for keeping drinks and snacks close at hand. It's a fun bonus space to enjoy together — and an especially cozy spot for a rainy Seattle afternoon or evening.
◆ TIKI BAR & RETRO VINYL LOUNGE
The Tiki Bar and Retro Vinyl Lounge flow together as a casual place to enjoy drinks, play games, or choose an album from our curated vinyl collection. Relax on the cozy loveseat while you listen to a favorite record, read a book, or enjoy a quiet conversation. The bar area includes additional glassware and a retro mini fridge for keeping drinks and snacks close at hand.
◆ THE ULTIMATE LOUNGE FOR MUSIC LOVERS
As musicians, music is a big part of our lives, and we've built it into the Pineapple Castle experience. We offer plenty of ways to make music part of your visit, whether you're listening or making some of your own. Pick up an electric guitar and amp, acoustic guitar, keyboard, or percussion instruments and play. A karaoke machine and colorful lights are also available upon request, turning the Tiki Bar into your own private karaoke stage.
◆ MEDIA LOUNGE / MOVIE THEATRE◆
Tucked around the corner, the lower level opens into a spacious Media Lounge with a huge sectional and large 4K Smart TV. An Amazon Fire TV Stick provides easy access to popular streaming services, or choose a classic movie from our video collection. The oversized sectional offers plenty of room for movie nights and group viewing. Posters and artwork from our own collection, including pieces we've created ourselves, give the space a personal, nostalgic feel.
