About this property

Family Beach Cottage, Pura Vida

Make this personal beach cottage yours for a private getaway with family or friends. The cottage has 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, and sleeps 10. Pura Vida offers 1440 sqft of well-thought-out space with plenty of room for a large group, and it never feels cramped. The beach is just a short walk across the street, and if you prefer calmer waters, Little Lagoon has a large beach just down the boardwalk. Enjoy fishing??? A fishing pier is on the boardwalk just behind the cottage. You can easily park 4 vehicles on the ground level, so invite your friends to come to visit during your stay. Lots of activities are available, including biking, fishing, shopping, kayaking, parasailing, and more.

***Weekly and monthly discounts are available during the offseason. Contact management for details.***

Pura Vida!!

The house was convenient and a relatively short walk to the beach. Everything was freshly painted and seemed very new and clean. We liked it that there were four bathrooms in the house and ample parking down below.

We were very pleased with the cottage. Conveniently located, we were only a short walk to the beach, and the lagoon. Everything was clean and well maintained.
