Nice condo and convenient location.
The condo was clean and perfect for what we needed. My family lives close by so the spot was great. My kids lived the hammocks and and the outside area is cute. The hosts are very responsive and helpful and it is a great location close to groceries, beach, shopping and everything you need. Would stay again.

Relaxing and convenient
We spent a week in one of the downstairs apartments. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the entire establishment and the locations convenience to shopping restaurants and beaches. Traffic was light compared to many other Florida areas we have visited. We will definitely be back! We also loved getting in the hot tub!

Family time
My husband and I stayed here for 10 days while visiting family. The Pura Vida was perfect for us. Centrally located to beaches, stores, marinas and our family. There is a nice walking/biking path the runs along the road out front for exercise. The outdoor areas were clean and well layed out. The unit was clean and comfortable. Our host made a point of checking in on us after a few days to make sure all was well. We were quite pleased with our stay and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Thank you to Alex and Katja for another great vacation. All of the villa’s are beautifully decorated and are absolutely spotless when you arrive. They are taking cleaning to the next level to assure your safety during these uncertain times. Not only are they the owners but you also feel like you have made lifelong friends. We can’t wait to come back and see you again.

AMAZING PROPERTY!
Honestly do not think the listing clearly displays the amazing quality of this property!! It was way better than the pictures!! The hosts are amazing people with a huge heart!! It is clean, comfortable and a relaxation oasis. Whether you're hanging in the hammock, or sipping on a cocktail in the lounge chairs, you feel like you're in a Caribbean spot! Beaches are within reasonable driving distance as well as dining options! We will be back!

Hot tub
Clean roomy well furnished One of the owners stopped by and was quite nice and genuinely concerned about us My only complaint is the property did not mention you must rent an upstairs apartment to use the hot tub in the garden (which is quite beautiful) Otherwise the one you use is behind the building (which is not quite beautiful) I. Just thought they should mention it Otherwise, very satisfied

Location was great! Grounds are beautiful! Price is right!
This property is really nice and has a extra amenities you won't find with a typical hotel room. Also, it is centrally located to beaches and there are plenty of things to do in the area. Management is extremely helpful. Our unit and bedroom was really close to the busy road. I am an early riser so this was not a problem. However, if you want to sleep late the traffic starts early and you can clearly hear it from the bedroom. Also, 1st floor you can hear the people upstairs scraping chairs and walking around.
