Wow! The view from this home is amazing! We stayed a week with our children and grandchildren and had a blast. Home has everything you need. Very clean, easy check in and out. We played on the beach, took long walks, rented a golf cart to ride the island. It just went by too fast. The A/C in the home works great and the beds all slept good. Thanks for sharing your home.

The view here is absolutely amazing. We had great weather with an occasional storm. Dolphins were out everyday. The island basically has anything you need for your stay. The house fit our family perfectly. I would recommend a pop up canopy for the deck as the sun can be brutal mid day. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to just relax, this is it!

Really sweet cottage directly on the beach. Very clean and convenient. Master bath and closet and very small but second bathroom is much larger. We loved the direct access to the beach and the outdoor water and shower. Very quiet and relaxing.

This was the perfect beach house for my family. The location on St. George Island is perfect! We loved being right on the beach so we didn't have to haul our stuff very far. The house was clean and had everything we needed. By the end of the week our young boys were calling it their beach house. We are already planning on staying here again next year!

My friend, her dog and I stayed the week of April 20-27. We had a fabulous time! Pura Vida has a wonderful deck and a gorgeous wall of windows to look out over the beach! Everything you could want is in the house. We even had a bonfire in the fire pit and made some-mores with friends. The owners answered all texts immediately. It was a wonderful vacation and can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic! The home had everything we needed and was perfect for our family of 5. Right on the beach with the perfect porch for watching sunrises on a quiet stretch of beach. Craig was awesome - very quick to respond if we had questions and incredibly helpful! Already looking at dates to book again!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Pura Vida. The view can't be beat, the owners are kind and responsive, and the deck space is perfect for dogs, especially as one of ours is a tripod and having a ramp down to the beach was wonderful for her. That said, there were a few issues that kept it from getting five stars. There was dog poop on the steps from the parking area upon our arrival, and it was clear a previous dog had marked in the house (the kitchen mat in particular smelled strongly of urine and had to be washed, but the owners also ordered a replacement that was scheduled to be delivered the day we left). We are animal people and not squeamish about cleaning up accidents, but it was a shame the housecleaner had missed these. There were also some minor maintenance issues—loose doorknobs and toilet paper holders (my husband fixed them), mildewy caulk in the master shower, and a broken oversize Connect Four game with all the discs loose on the floor when we got there. Not a big deal, but doesn't make the best first impression. I think with a deep clean and a handyman's attention, this house would be stellar. It's been tastefully renovated, has a well-stocked kitchen, and is in a prime location, but needs a little more attention in these areas to be five stars.

We had a wonderful time at Pura Vida! The house had the most beautiful view of the Gulf and the most incredible waterfront, expansive porch. I always like to cook for my family on vacation, and the kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen with all the necessary kitchen tools for cooking. Also, the house was clean and in tip top shape! I would definitely rent this property again. It was like a dream spending a week at Pura Vida!

This home has a wonderful view, with great access to a low key beach area! It had everything that we needed to relax and have a great week. The owners have added a lot of modern touches to the home, including the kitchen, which was my favorite space, besides the beach of course! We had a small maintenance issue, but the owners were easy to communicate with and we resolved it quickly. We will definitely come back to SGI and this house!

We loved this house and SGI so much! Thank you so much for being pet friendly. It was neat to be able to enjoy the beach with our goldendoodle. The foot washing station was great and doubled as a good place for her to get fresh water. The enclosed deck was awesome too. The house itself was even cuter than the pictures. The windows along the beach side with the window seating were my favorite place to sit and read or just people watch. The kitchen was great and had new appliances it appeared. The king size bed was super comfy and the bathrooms had tons of towels. We biked, kayaked and rented a boat one day. I can't wait to come back!! If you are tired of over crowded beaches, this is your spot!!

The house had great ocean views. It was dirty when we got there. The master bath floor was filthy. There was a dirty dish rag in the kitchen sink and the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. Master bedroom door knob is loose. Overall it could have been cleaner. Owners had someone come get some stuff from the owners closet while we were there. They also wanted to send someone to get the only key to the house to go make copies of it. It seemed they were not prepared for us to check in.

Enjoyed our stay here last year, so we invited friends to join us this time. We saw big waves & enjoyed calm waters, too. Renting chairs & umbrellas was so easy, and added to the fun. The house is a perfect layout in a perfect location. The kitchen is well appointed, and offered us dinner with the best view ever! The guys provided fresh-caught tripletail & we picked up steamed shrimp from Piggly Wiggly on SGI. Can’t wait to return !!!

This was a long weekend get away. It has been over 20 years that my family has been visiting St. George Island and we have always changed location until now, Pura Vida was perfect great location beautiful little house and everything I needed while there coming for the family. The owners were amazing and very helpful. I will most definitely be back to this property again. The fire pit on the beach was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing you piece of paradise with my family.

We found Pura Vida searching for dog-friendly rentals on the island that were beachfront. This home does not disappoint! The view of the gulf is breathtaking from the large picture windows that span the front of the house. The deck space was amazing and a perfect place to hang out after you were done down at the beach. Everything in this home is very well thought out - from the foot wash at the beach end of the ramp to the shower at the top to all the hooks and cubbies for storage. The home itself is very comfortable and we lacked for nothing during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and there were plenty of towels. There were even beach toys to use. Our 2 doodles had an amazing time at the beach and couldn't wait to get out there each morning. The home was clean & very well maintained and the owners extremely responsive & helpful. Being a native Floridian who moved to the North Carolina mountains 12 years ago, I have been searching for beach destination that recalled what it was like to grow up in 'old Florida'. I'm not sure where I first heard of St. George Island, but it was exactly what we were looking for! We've done the Destin/Panama Beach scene and while the beaches are lovely, being from a small town tends to lead you away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist set. The small town, welcoming feel of SGI made us feel right at home and Pura Vida felt like our own private paradise. We can't wait to go back and would absolutely book this home again!

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the beach house. We loved the convenience of the fire pit and chairs to use. The house was cozy and we had all the things we needed. We loved the large refrigerator too. One of the nights that we stayed the skies were clear and we saw layers of stars and three shooting stars! We will definitely visit again!

Stayed here for the second time. We stayed last year and enjoyed it. The deck outside to the beach and the windows with view to the ocean by far are the best parts of this rental. There’s so much room on the deck for the kids and dogs to hang out. The walk to the beach is easy and beautiful.

Thanks for sharing your home. Well appointed and set us up for a great stay at the beach. Perfect view, great sunrises. Very comfortable. First time beach goers with pets should be cautious of the beach floral with burrs. Just be aware. Will not deter from enjoying the area.

We enjoyed our stay at Pura Vida so much! It was absolutely perfect and I would book this again today for next year. The photos and description is spot on for the house. Very kid friendly as well. We found games and puzzles to play during a rain storm. Each room has a TV except for the bunkroom which was nice. The porch was the best place to take in the morning and afternoons. The kitchen had everything we needed and we only ate out one night. A bonus was there was an additional fridge downstairs where the laundry was so we had somewhere to put fishing bait and extra ice. I would recommend this play to anyone!

Gulf access right off front deck

Gulf access right off front deck

We had a great week at Pura Vida. The owner was very friendly and actually called to check in shortly before our arrival time. Hose for washing sand off and shower on deck where a great convenience after enjoying the days at the beach catching pompano. Picnic table on front deck was a great location for family meals while still enjoying the beautiful gulf views.
