AUSTIN, Texas, March 9, 2021 -- Home Sweet Pineapple!
Today, Vrbo® and Paramount Home Entertainment unveiled a real-world version of SpongeBob SquarePants's iconic abode to celebrate the U.S. debut of the highly anticipated new film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Produced by Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon, the movie will be available March 4 for Premium Video-On-Demand or on the new streaming service Paramount+.
Floating 80 feet above sea level in Seal Beach, Calif., the themed space features underwater-inspired elements SpongeBob fans will know and love and Vrbo has created a free virtual tour on the Vrbo listing page so fans everywhere can check it out:
- The cozy living area equipped with fun furniture, including SpongeBob's famous red couch
- The kitchen inspired by The Krusty Krab, home of the famous Krabby Patty
- A gallery wall spotlighting favorite characters as they appear in the new series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years
- Prime beachfront location with 360-degree views of Southern California
"Families can book cabins, condos, castles, treehouses and train cars on Vrbo, but this is the first time we've had a gigantic pineapple on our platform," said Lish Kennedy, VP of global brand marketing at Vrbo. "We're glad people can tour the Pineapple Over the Sea virtually and enjoy the new movie at home together."

"We've enjoyed bringing SpongeBob's unique world to life with Vrbo so that fans everywhere can experience it in a completely new way," said Michelle Hagen, EVP Worldwide Partnerships, Paramount Pictures. "Now everyone can dive into SpongeBob's world with the new movie and a fun virtual tour of Vrbo's take on SpongeBob's iconic home."

Paramount Home Entertainment and Vrbo are also giving a first responder and their family a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the Pineapple Over the Sea in person. The special guests from the Seal Beach community will enjoy a free screening of the film and an evening of fun-filled entertainment inside the Pineapple Over the Sea.
