Wonderful visit. Our first to Eleuthera. We went somewhat blind as to what to expect but really enjoyed the island (but see why people say it is not for everyone - thought it may not be for us in the midst of the drive from ELH to the house!!). But far and away the best part was Pura Vida. Perfect location, beautiful house with all the amenities you could want. The pool, the sitting area just above the beach, the privacy - all were much better than imagined and not really done justice in the pics. Ed and Brenda are easy to work with and clearly care to make this a great place to vacation. We already have our reservations for next year!

Two Weeks in Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just back from our wonderful two weeks at Pura Vida. The property was in excellent condition and very comfortable. The location on the ocean with pink hued sand was everything a beach lover could want. Walk, swim, or just sipping coffee and watching the sun come up, this property offers it all. Be sure to bring your snorkel, the fish covered reefs are right in front of you. Governors Harbor is 15 minutes. We slept with the windows/ doors open and loved the stiff ocean breeze. We give it a 5 thumbs up and would definitely return!

Total paradise!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the few places that I wish I could stay forever! The house is gorgeous and very well equipped. The pool was pristine and the view was incredible. We were only two but the house would be perfect for a family or 2 couples. The “perch” we called it was amazing to view the sparkling blue green water. And that beach....a little rocky at high tide but so amazing. We walked 2 miles out and back every day and saw sharks and manta rays in thr shallows. There are so many reefs right in front of the house to snorkel and we saw such pretty tropical fish. Eleuthera is a bit primitive but we like that vibe and plan to get back there asap!

Heaven at your fingertips

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pura Vida was the most amazing house rental. It sits along the most beautiful beach on the cherished and loved Banks Road. We were in heaven the moment we turned onto the property and drove up the long private driveway. The house was spotless. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance and utensil you can think of and ready to make our favorite meal. The pool overlooking the ocean was incredible and every seating area had its own personal beauty. Hearing the crashing waves all day was the most memorable and mesmerizing experience. Swimming was such a pleasure even when the waves were crashing. We would bring our coffee down to the bottom step on the beach and drink it there daily. It was incredible. There were also plenty of beach chairs and an umbrella to make a trip to another beach simple and easy. Tippys is a few minutes down the beach road making lunch and dinner easy if you plan to eat out. We were even able to buy some lobster tails to bring home to grill on the beautiful outdoor grill. The master bedroom had an amazing and super comfortable bed with soft linens. The master bath had a large walk in closet and an amazing shower with his and her sinks. It was more than enough room. We were the happiest we have been on vacation and I have been around the globe. George, the caretaker, was available at all times and Brenda, the owner, was quick to answer any questions. We HIGHLY recommend this place and already hope to return next year and many years to come.

A Dream come true!

This property is paradise. Kitchen has everything you need. House is beautiful inside & out. Pool, decks, beach views are outstanding. George the Caretaker is a wonderful & helpful man who goes above & beyond in taking care of you. Pam the Property Manager is very professional, personable, & helpful. She makes sure your stay is perfect. I have been a lot of places, but hands down this is the most beautiful, peaceful, and breathtaking house and vacation I have experienced so far.

Fantastic Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home and property are beautiful! The home is positioned so that you get amazing views of Double Bay while enjoying privacy. We loved the outdoor area, which is where we spent most of our time while at the house. There are so many different areas in the home to sit and relax, the master bedroom and bath was spacious and comfortable! I don't have a single thing I would change. I am very grateful that this home is available to enjoy while visiting Eleuthera and we will definitely be back and Pura Vida will be our first choice!

Honeymoon

There really aren’t words to describe this property. The home is lovely and the owners supplied everything we could have possibly needed. We strolled the beach everyday and came to the conclusion that this home is the best on the beach. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. The views are stunning. It was a fantasy honeymoon!!

Perfect getaway from literally everything

We thought it would be hard to shift gears from the auto pilot of daily life, the pandemic, all of it, but this place sure made short work of that. We spent the fastest 9 days of our lives on some of the most beautiful coastline imaginable.

Stunning

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pura Vida was an absolute joy. The house is spacious and inviting. The kitchen was fully stocked and very clean. The beach was almost deserted. We loved the two islands in the ocean in front of the house. We had a small problem with the AC in the bedrooms, but we understand that we are on an island with limits. We fell in love with Eleuthera at Pura Vida. We hope to be back next year.
