Great Place to Stay!

We really enjoyed our time in the Boca Grande apartment. It was the perfect size for us (2 adults) and had everything we needed for the week. We would definitely stay here again if/when we return to the area!

We love this place, it feels like Paradise to us! Clean, comfortable, spacious, this is one of our favorite stays. Everything you need for cooking in the kitchen, even a steamer pot for lobsters. Bring your own spices, but there was salt, pepper and garlic. The hot tub was so relaxing and in such a beautiful setting among the tropical plants and outdoor light, beach towels and robes included. We will be back!

We absolutely loved the place. Hosts put so much thought into making the place feel like a tropical paradise. It is cozy but spacious enough for a family. The outside patio and hot tub were our favorites! Location is superb - we went kayaking in Don Pedro park, and to the beach in Boca Grande, both very short drives away. Katja was exceptional with her communication and responsiveness. We 100% recommend the place.

Wonderful Property & Location

Cozy, clean, tropical setting, awesome private spa tub, breezy deck, great owners, and close to Englewood beaches and Boca Grande. Many very good restaurants, tiki bars close to this location. We took the water taxi (across the street) to Palm Island and had a sunset dinner at Rum Bay. Make sure you take a sunset boat ride…we saw a LOT of dolphins.

Tiki Hut delight

Our apartment was very clean and welcoming - private hot tub in tropical garden. 15 minutes to beautiful Englewood Beach. Covered porch made it cool and convenient for outside dinner and relaxation. This was our second visit and we will most likely return.

Pura Vida is everything its VRBO description says it is. Comfortable. Spotless. Convenient. Quiet. The property provides easy access to the many attractions of Sarasota, Venice, and Englewood as well as to the many islands in the Charlotte Bay Area. But the property location in Cape Haze is much quieter and less traveled. The second-floor unit we rented is plenty spacious for a vacationing couple, charmingly decorated, and fully equipped. Between the two second floor units is a beautiful, covered patio with tables, comfy seating, and hammocks. Host Katja was pleasant to work with. She communicated in a timely manner and offered her help and advice throughout our stay. A stay at Pura Vida will not disappoint.

Tiki Hut Paradise

Our stay at the Pura Vida, Boca Grande apartment, was extraordinary. The location is ideal for exploring beaches, trails, and sites. However, once out and about we really just wanted to relax at our apartment. Katja and her husband, have created a paradise not only for couples, but also for those seeking a location for entire group getaways or perhaps a family reunion. The apartment(s) is emasculate, pristine, and a fun place to enjoy. Staying at the Pura Vida is a memorable experience. Cheryl and Woody

A must needed getaway

Katja and Alex are beyond amazing hosts! They made sure we made it safely and were able to get into our vacation rental (which was immaculate). Pura Vida is the perfect place to stay for those looking for a relaxing vacation - it’s a short driving distance from Boca Grande and Venice; and it’s directly across from a marina where you can take a water taxi into palm island. The best part is it’s a contactless / keyless checkin which makes it extremely easy to travel. We never had to worry about losing keys as all entries and doors have keypads! 10/10 we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for allowing us to spend our honeymoon in your paradise.

Pura Vida Pura Heaven

We loved our stay at Pura Vida! Everything about it was first class, We were hesitant about renting because there were no reviews yet, but the accommodations were exceptional. We loved all the fruit and palm trees throughout the property. Katja and Alek were the perfect hosts. They always got back to us promptly answering all our questions regarding the many beaches and where to find sharks teeth. They gave us some teeth they had found, so we knew what we were looking for. We loved the area, taking the golf cart to Palm Island and all the great restaurants. We will be back! Joni and Paul Lerum
