Pineapple Point Guesthouse & Resort

Pineapple Point Guesthouse & Resort has operated as an adults only, gay men’s clothing optional guesthouse in Fort Lauderdale’s Victoria Park neighborhood since 1999, which makes it one of the longer running independent guesthouses in a city with a real history of LGBTQ+ focused hospitality. The property spreads across six separate buildings on more than two acres, tucked into a residential pocket a short drive from both Wilton Manors and the beach, and the low rise, garden style layout gives it a private, resort like feel that is unusual this close to downtown.

Accommodations range from standard rooms up through suites and villas, and the Deluxe King rooms give a sense of the general standard across the property, pillow top mattresses, private baths with walk in showers, mini fridges, and robes provided for guests moving between rooms and the pool deck. An ADA compliant room has been in development, which is worth confirming directly with the property before booking if accessibility is a requirement for your stay.

The amenity list leans fully into the resort side of the name. There is a lap pool and two separate jacuzzis, a small on site gym, massage studios for guests who book treatments, and enough hammocks and sun decks scattered through the property that finding a quiet corner is not hard even when the guesthouse is close to capacity. Complimentary breakfast is included, along with snacks and an evening happy hour that puts out cheese, crackers, beer, and wine, a detail that shifts the guesthouse toward a social, communal rhythm rather than a purely transactional hotel stay. Bicycles are available for guests who want to reach the beach or Wilton Drive without a car, and beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels are provided as well.

Because the property is clothing optional and caters specifically to gay men, it is worth being upfront that it is not a general audience hotel, and travelers should understand that positioning before booking a room. Day passes are available on most days for anyone who wants to check out the pool and grounds before committing to a stay, and property tours run daily in the afternoon and early evening for prospective guests.

Victoria Park itself is one of Fort Lauderdale’s older, tree lined residential neighborhoods, close enough to Wilton Drive’s restaurants and bars, and to downtown and Las Olas Boulevard, that a car is helpful but not strictly necessary. For a guest looking for a guesthouse with a real history rather than a newly opened property chasing a trend, and a social, all inclusive leaning atmosphere built around a pool deck rather than a lobby bar, Pineapple Point is one of the most established options of its kind in Fort Lauderdale.
