Wonderful Property & Location
Cozy, clean, tropical setting, awesome private spa tub, breezy deck, great owners, and close to Englewood beaches and Boca Grande. Many very good restaurants, tiki bars close to this location. We took the water taxi (across the street) to Palm Island and had a sunset dinner at Rum Bay. Make sure you take a sunset boat ride…we saw a LOT of dolphins.

A must needed getaway
Katja and Alex are beyond amazing hosts! They made sure we made it safely and were able to get into our vacation rental (which was immaculate). Pura Vida is the perfect place to stay for those looking for a relaxing vacation - it’s a short driving distance from Boca Grande and Venice; and it’s directly across from a marina where you can take a water taxi into palm island. The best part is it’s a contactless / keyless checkin which makes it extremely easy to travel. We never had to worry about losing keys as all entries and doors have keypads! 10/10 we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for allowing us to spend our honeymoon in your paradise.

Tiki Hut Paradise
Our stay at the Pura Vida, Boca Grande apartment, was extraordinary. The location is ideal for exploring beaches, trails, and sites. However, once out and about we really just wanted to relax at our apartment. Katja and her husband, have created a paradise not only for couples, but also for those seeking a location for entire group getaways or perhaps a family reunion. The apartment(s) is emasculate, pristine, and a fun place to enjoy. Staying at the Pura Vida is a memorable experience. Cheryl and Woody

Amazing place and wonderful hosts !
I stayed in the Bocha Grande unit and was very happy with how well kept, clean, and decorated it was, inside and out. Even walking around the grounds felt like I was in a private resort on an island somewhere. And the hosts, Katja and Alex, made me feel so welcomed and right at home. Whenever I needed anything, they were right there to accommodate. Also, I sleep on a memory foam mattress at home and was a little worried when I first saw the pillow top bed but wow, I was pleasantly surprised ! It was so comfortable and relaxing, I hardly moved during the night which made it easy to make the bed every morning. I stayed here 7 days and would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone else ! Thanks again for being such warm and caring people Alex and Katja, and allowing me to have such a beautiful place to stay while I was there. 😊

Great, But
I lost all of my groceries as the fridge wasn't working. The owner did offer to allow me to use the fridge in another unit downstairs but that was rather inconvenient. We ended up just having to trash all the food . What a waste. Otherwise the property was nice, however the location itself is pretty remote. Very clean and I enjoyed the outdoor space

Pura Vida is a tropical paradise hidden in Placida Florida! We loved our second floor apartment overlooking the palm trees and gardens, and our own private hotub cabana. Owners are super friendly and responded quickly to our requests. Pet friendly, yet quiet and relaxing. Everything was very new and clean, the decor beautifully done. Five Stars!!!

Beautiful tropical retreat.
Pura Vida is absolutely amazing. So much thought went into making this property a relaxing tropical retreat. It’s close to local beaches, restaurants, golf and nightlife, yet is quiet and secluded. With its beautiful seating areas, Pura Vida would be an ideal choice if traveling with other couples. Can’t wait to come back.

Pure Florida!
We enjoyed this beautifully decorated apartment. The bed was very comfortable, furnishings, appliances, everything was top notch! It was so nice having a private hot tub, and our own deck area. I just wish Xfinity would not show channels that aren’t “authorized “. But who needs to watch TV anyway when there’s so much to do? We enjoyed hiking the trails just down the street.

About the host

Hosted by The Pura Vida

Host profile image
After traveling many places we found the last remaining piece of Old Florida left. Palm Island and Placida or also known as the Cape Haze Peninsula, is so unknown to many people that we decided to invite you to discover the hidden gem. The happiest people in the world life the Pura Vida so we decided to create a little version under the Florida sun with the Caribbean charme.

Why they chose this property

We invite you to life the Pura Vida and enjoy your Hot Tub surrounded by curtains in the middle of the tropical garden. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting under a Tiki Hut. Gateway to Palm Island and the hidden beaches covered with shells and shark teeth. Boca Grande and Englewood Beach are just around the corner.

What makes this property unique

Every drink taste better under a Tiki Hut.
