We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of our rental, updated appliances, abundance of towels and beachy “toys”cleanliness and amenities such as our own bathrobes, rope swings, private hot tub, and so much more. I loved the outdoor space with high top table and chairs, fruit trees and decor. I highly recommend staying here… but wait, if you stay here, I won’t be able to find an opening when I want to stay…oops!
Clean and comfortable. Had everything I needed. Location is great if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle but still want to be near the beach and rivers. Katja and Alex were attentive and pleasant hosts.
I loved this placed! The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. I felt like the location was great for traveling all over southwest Florida. My trip was kind of short, so I did not really have an opportunity to sit and enjoy the patio or hot tub.
It was wonderful very clean house with everything we needed. To relax and enjoy the beaches kayaking and restaurants. Wonderful weekend can’t wait to come back.
Very clean, and fantastic, more beautiful than pictures. Loved the hot tub and the out doors lounging areas. Very relaxing and inviting. Felt like a tropic paradise. very well maintained.
We had a great short weekend staying at the Cape Haze Apt. The place was exceptionally clean and just as nicely decorated as in the photos. We went to Leverock's for dinner just across the street. Very convenient to have a restaurant with good food and nice sunset views so close. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your great review. We are very happy that you had a good time and enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you back.
Last minute getaway for two nights, And this place was all I hoped for and more. Clean and an awesome setting right across from the ferry to Run Point. It was so so nice, and we are glad we got to meet the owners during our 2 night stay. They are awesome and were so interested in making sure our stay was going well! You wo t regret i!
This location was ideal for us to ride bikes and drive to various beaches. The beach chairs and umbrellas we borrowed came in handy! We had a great time, used the hot tub and the grill many times!
The place was very clean, well equipped outside garden is very cozy and relaxing. My son absolutely loved the hammock swings. There is also beach equipment available which was awesome. Very good communication with the host.
I had a wonderful stay at Pura Vida. The place was clean, comfortable, and had a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Everything was well maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.One small suggestion would be to add an extra mirror in either the living room or bedroom—it would be helpful, especially when getting ready. Also, the hot tub could benefit from a bit less chlorine, as it felt slightly strong.Other than that, everything was excellent. I truly enjoyed my time there and would definitely return!
The property is very nice and cozy. This is not an excellent review just cause the Checkout in the confirmation email says 11AM but at 10AM the cleaning crew was already knocking at the door...
We had a very relaxing, enjoyable week at Pura Vida. Katja was so great to work with. Quick, friendly response always. Loved the cozy environment in the courtyard and the hot tub area. Everything we needed was there - beach chairs, bikes, towels, starters of paper towels, dishwasher tabs, etc. we will for sure be back! Thanks Pura Vita and Katja!
We were pleasantly surprised by the location and amenities. Katja and Alex have created a wonder land of relaxation and comfort. Every effort was made to accommodate our needs. We were pleasantly surprised by the surrounding area with restaurants and beaches a short drive away. Can’t say enough of how they transformed our visit Into a place we just didn’t want to leave. We highly recommend this treasure for your visit in the area.

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 Umbrella or relax in your Lounge Group. Gateway to Palm Island and the hidden beaches covered with shells and shark teeth.
