Bring your boat and store it across the street with PALM HARBOUR Marina (www.palm-harbourmarina.com) There are wet slips available on a daily base, including power and water. Also you can use the fantastic commercial swimming pool for free if you rent a boat slip! Ask us for more information or contact Palm Harbour Marina (phone 941.697.4356).
Also in walking distance is the Palm Island water taxi located. (Discount if you have your boat in the marina!)
A 3 minute walk away leaves the ferry to Palm Island. You are able to discover the secret beaches of Palm Island. These beaches allow you to find the best shells and shark teeth even without a boat. Most of the people never find the island!
The Pura Vida residence is located in the heart of Cape Haze. Sitting in between Palm Harbour Marina and the Freedom Boat Club. You have the choice! Or just charter one of the fishing captains across the street and enjoy the world famous fishing between Stump Pass and Boca Grande. Boca Grande is known to be the Tarpon fishing capital of the world.
Right across the street, the Water Taxi brings you directly to Rum Bay restaurant which is the only restaurant on Palm Island.
We offer beach towels and chairs for your beach time. You are in the center of Old Florida vacation paradise. One of Floridas best kept secrets are our barrier islands. Take full advantage of the Palm Harbour Marina and bring your boat with you.

About the host
Hosted by The Pura Vida
After traveling many places we found the last remaining piece of Old Florida left. Palm Island and Placida or also known as the Cape Haze Peninsula, is so unknown to many people that we decided to invite you to discover the hidden gem. 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 Hut. Gateway to Palm Island and the hidden beaches covered with shells and shark teeth. Boca Grande and Englewood Beach are just around the corner.
What makes this property unique
Every drink taste better under a Tiki Hut.
