Everything was wonderful ! The place was pristine clean, inside and out. We loved our own hot tub . The weather was beautiful . We took several recommendations from your notebook and loved them …the ferry across the street and dinner recommendations were spot on. We can’t wait to return .
Host was WONDERFUL!! Great communication. Living area was just perfect, Your own little Oasis!!! Hot tub was perfect for December nights... Location was great for us, right in the middle of everything we wanted!! We will 100% stay here again when we're in the area!!!!
Great place with everything you need and then some! Has very comfortable beds, close to lots of restaurants and fun things to and even has a hot tub for each place. The owners were very responsive and we will definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay at Pura Vida and the beautiful town of Englewood. The apartment was a great place to return to after steamy, humid days on the beach. Clean, roomy, plenty of supplies and comfortable beds....we highly recommend and hope to return one day.Boca Grande was our favorite beach spot by far and a beautiful part of the world!!
The easiest stay! Location was perfect for us to be close to the marina and not having to deal with many people being memorial weekend! Very relaxing! Love to stay there again!
An amazing mini-vacation! We stayed for 2 nights and it was great! The check-in was convenient and easy; parking was great- off street and secure. The villas were clean and so neat! Everything you could need was right at hand. Lots to do locally- we visited the Don Pedro Park right up the street where we kayaked and saw dolphins and manatees! Also enjoyed a day at the beach at Stump Pass. Great local dining- we ate at South Beach Bar & Grille and enjoyed a sunset meal. Hosts were so nice and easy-going- very responsive to questions and suggestions!
Very clean, inviting, and well appointed. Plenty of room for a family of 4. The hot tub was very clean and we enjoyed it very much during our stay. BBQ and picnic areas were very nice as well.

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.
What makes this property unique
Every drink taste better under a Tiki Hut.
