Excellent communication, walking distance to Cape Haze Marina where we had boat tour booked. Unit appeared newly remodeled, grounds were gorgeous with lots of room to relax and enjoy peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend!

We loved everything about this place. It is beautifully decorated and immaculate. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. The outside courtyard is a little oasis with palm trees and 4 hot tubs. So happy we found this place!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful Place!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful, the condo was immaculate, everything was just perfect. The owners are super friendly and came by a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is really special, tiki huts, two hot tubs, plenty of outdoor covered seating, hammocks, a private sitting area directly outside of each condo with privacy curtains that can be pulled if you like - we have stayed in a lot of different places in Fla. over the years and this one ranks up there with the best!

Nice place, stayed one week
We really appreciated that the place was clean. The outside area was nice with all the fruit trees. The other tenants were nice and loved our dog. The area was also good for us. Close to beaches and dinning in the area was good. I liked the Lighthouse Grill at Stumps pass. We would love to stay again. But would like to make it longer

Relaxing Tropical Well Organized
The whole place was so clean and tropical and well organized and very well run. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and everything needed to cook. The beds were comfortable. Katja and Alex couldn’t be more accommodating or nicer. We used the spa and rented bikes and even the laundry area was spotless. Location is perfect- Restaurants grocery stores kayaking all close by. Wide trail to walk and ride bikes right out the door. Lots of comfy outdoor furniture- we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful property
This was a great little get away. The property is beautiful! You can really escape in a beautiful oasis! Katja was so sweet and helpful letting us know of different things to do in the area. It was an awesome place...between the beautifully furnished apartment, the private hot tub and the very relaxing public space. You can tell these owners really care about their guests!

Beautiful Tropical Retreat
Not a single detail was missed by the owners of this property! It is tropical, quiet relaxing and looks like your staying at a high end resort! Each apartment has its own hit tub and it felt like we were the only ones there. It was right across from Leverocks as well as the wayer taxi to Rum Bay and the Palm Island ferry. Communication was great! I highly recommend and will be staying here again!

Amazing place to stay!
Lovely area and the property is exactly like the photos. It was very clean, inside and out. The gardens/outdoor areas are absolutely stunning! The bed was very comfortable and we loved having the robes to lounge in after using the private hot tub. Katja was very easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions we had. We can’t wait to come back!

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!

Perfect as always.
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.

Almost hate to give a review as others will find this hidden gem. But the owners deserve the kudos! The unit and property are very comfortable, and well maintained. Property owners are very friendly and easy to work with. Would not hesitate to stay again! Good location to many activities, restaurants and relaxation.

Englewood - Pura Vida
This was our first experience with a VRBO rental. Turned out to be an exceptional 2 week stay. We learned a lot about the area from our hosts, Alex and Katja. The unit was well kept, brand new, and featured a private garden area with hot tub, hammock, table and chairs. There was a fruit tree garden with bananas growing just outside our door. Outdoor couches and and tables under a covered porch in case of rain, but it didn't. Did not have a bad meal at any of the local restaurants. Fishing charter right across the road. Book early at "Man Overboard". Will return.

Tropical Paradise
Very clean, beautiful property with a fabulous tropical courtyard. Full of unique fruit trees. The tiki hut, garden music and hot tub were awesome. The apartment was clean and well stocked with everything you need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable.
A little piece of paradise is the best description. The owners were excellent hosts.
