Vacation and Family Visit

Our goal was to enjoy a family vacation with our adult children and visit/celebrate my Aunt’s (who lives in Ocean Pines) birthday. The accommodations were perfect with plenty of room to gather as a family as well as private rooms to relax.

Nice Rental!

Nice house on the water that looks like it was recently updated. Very comfortable and clean with plenty of space and all the needed amenities. Pass for the beach club was a nice perk. Would definitely rent again.

The "Good Life" Getaway

We made a great vacation choice with our stay at "Pura Vida." The house looked newly renovated, and was exceptionally clean. We needed four separate sleeping areas, so the three bedrooms and the loft area with additional beds was perfect for our family. Having a water view with dock access was also a nice perk. If we had any concerns during our stay, the owners, Jennifer and Brett, addressed them right away. We would not hesitate to rent from them again. We look forward to staying at "Pura Vida" in the future!

Comfortable and Peaceful Ocean Pines Stay

This beach house was perfect for our family vacation and had every amenity we wanted. We loved the location and being able to retreat from the beach to a quiet neighborhood away from the busy downtown. We brought our inflatable kayaks and were able to paddle out right from the back dock out to the river. The beds and living room areas were comfortable and the home was clean with cute beach decor and stocked with everything you could need.

Peaceful getaway, great location

Stayed for a week in July. The location is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The dock was perfect for crabbing and also dropping our kayaks in the canal to head out to the river.

Adorable, comfy, cozy cottage with an excellent location.

Being right on the canal is very relaxing, and the back deck is perfect for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Great place to stay!

Awesome

Great property and wonderful home. We could not have asked for anything more! Boat dock was perfect for our 22’ center console. Owner was great to deal with! Would certainly rent again! Thanks!

Perfect!

Pura Vida was just what my husband and I were looking for when we booked our summer vacation! We wanted a place with a short drive to the beach and town, but away from all the noise. Jen was incredibly easy to work with and very quick at responding when communicating. It is apparent that she loves and put much care into their beach house. Everything was perfect for our needs....from the quiet culdesac where my daughter could ride her bike, to the indoor/outdoor patios for all our beach accessories, to the tastefully decorated and inviting beach colors in the house. Having a full size washer and dryer was convenient. My husband and I brought our boat and we were able to keep it in the water on the canal the house sits on right out back. The dock was a nice size and recently redone. Within 5 minutes we could be out in the big bay to enjoy fishing, floating, tubing, and perfect sunsets! We will be back again and again! Thank you for opening your home to be our home for a week!

Exactly as advertised (4.8 stars)

Pure Vida worked great and had all amenities as expected. We spent our days on our boat so the dock and nearby boats ramps worked out perfectly (super convenient). This property does have an open loft so keep the ceiling fans on to circulate the air. The 2 porches are roomy and have their own fridge. We had a great time and would reserve again. We would recommend adding to bumper rails on the dock pilings to get to a 5.0. We used our fenders as a workaround without issue.

Beautiful house, perfect location

We had a lovely stay! Your home was comfortable and convenient, a perfect place to relax after enjoying Ocean City, Assateague, Berlin, etc. We enjoyed the pools, canoe, and fishing from the dock. The games were a bonus, lots of Jenga with our daughter! Would highly recommend your home to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation near all the action yet with the quiet comforts of home. :)

Beautiful waterfront property with canoe

We had so fun much staying here. It's tucked away in a calm, quiet neighborhood, away from the chaos of the actual shore. We liked being able to go to the beach, but then go back to the house later to hang out by the dock and enjoy the pretty house itself. Thanks!!

What makes this property unique

The property is situated within a quiet residential cul-de sac location and just around the corner from the wide open St. Martin's River. A private dock enables you to bring your boat and 2 floating docks for jet skis is available. Close proximity to a boat slip and direct access to the open waters of the St. Martin's River makes this home very convenient for boaters. Home is within walking distance to the public pool or bring your bikes! Our home is very inviting and decorated with a cozy beach theme. We are very excited to share it with you!
