Great week at Pura Vida!

We had a very relaxing, enjoyable week at Pura Vida. Katja was so great to work with. Quick, friendly response always. Loved the cozy environment in the courtyard and the hot tub area. Everything we needed was there - beach chairs, bikes, towels, starters of paper towels, dishwasher tabs, etc. we will for sure be back! Thanks Pura Vita and Katja!

Great Room and Excellent Value

We stayed at this location to visit family who were staying in Boca Grande. We wanted a place with a little privacy that wasn't as expensive as Boca Grande and had more grocery options without being stuck behind the Boca Grande toll gate. The units are spacious and clean, with a full-size fridge and oven. My only small complaint is that we were in the bottom unit and could hear our upstairs neighbors walking around and talking. Luckily, they weren't up late at night, so it was manageable. The host has a great deal of knowledge about the area and provides a nice binder of places to go and things to see on the kitchen table. We took the ferry across the road to the private island and collected more fossilized shark teeth than we ever thought we would find. This unit would be highly recommended for multiple parties who wish to stay together. If you know two families that could utilize the top and bottom units, I would certainly recommend reaching out to this host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pura Vida. The Cape Haze apt is everything that you would expect a rental close to the beach to be. Extra clean, fully outfitted, beautiful grounds and for us, close to my brother's new place!

Peaceful and relaxing setting

This apartment was lovely! The kitchen was well-furnished, the bed was comfortable, and the apartment was tastefully decorated. The outdoor areas were exceptional--there were plenty of places to relax and enjoy our time away from the real world. One bit of information for potential renters--bring quarters if you plan to do laundry. We loved our time here and would gladly stay again.

Near perfect stay for our biking vacation.

The condo is in great shape and really suited our needs. The kitchen had a full sink, plenty of counterspace, and a full-size fridge, stove, and microwave. Be advised that the hot tub can take up to 12 hours to heat up. Once we learned that we enjoyed using it for late-night soaks. The courtyard has a very relaxed, zen feel, despite being next to a fairly main road. The unit is close to a grocery store (1-2 miles), across the street from a nice restaurant and a very nice sidewalk extends for miles in both directions that is very good for biking. You can actually bike to two area bike trails right from the condo. The owners were very accommodating and responded promptly when we couldn't figure out the hot tub. Internet was decent, and my only minor complaint was that the cable TV came in at pre-digital resolution and was letterboxed. I think the cable box is just really old. The TV itself was fine, but if HDTV video quality is essential you will be disappointed. We would come again and would probably stay a few days longer. Some of the other guests were staying for several weeks.

After traveling many places we found the last remaining piece of Old Florida left.

The happiest people in the world life the Pura Vida so we decided to create a little version under the Florida sun with the Caribbean charme.

Why they chose this property

We invite you to life the Pura Vida and enjoy your Hot Tub surrounded by curtains in the middle of the tropical garden. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting under a Tiki Umbrella or relax in your Lounge Group. Gateway to Palm Island and the hidden beaches covered with shells and shark teeth.

What makes this property unique

Every drink taste better under a Tiki roof.
