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!

Absolutely paradise!!!

Fourth year staying there and we are still in awe every time we open that front door. We feel so at home there and are totally spoiled with the property. We had a complete smorgasbord of weather this time and it was beautiful each and every day. The owners have done a spectacular job with everything. It s so hard to leave there.

Simply Perfection

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pura Vida. The house is lovely: spacious, beautifully furnished, comfortable, well equipped and the setting fabulous. We loved watching the sunrise from the deck, the gardens were beyond beautiful. The location was ideal for touring the island. We saw a lot of Eleuthera, north and south. Enjoyed the beaches, restaurants, and most especially, the people. Would recommend highly.

Top Notch

Our family of four, two boys aged 8 and 11, had the perfect 10 day January vacation at Pura Vida. The beach and house were better than described. . We had the ocean to ourselves 99% of the time. The villa was beautifully decorated and completely and thoughtfully outfitted. A tropical paradise yet 10 minutes from Island Farms and their great bread and fresh produce and another 5 minutes from Governors Harbour where you can get anything else you could possibly need all without a stop light in sight.

Relaxing!

This was our first trip to Eleuthera and Pura Vida and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The house was clean and we had everything we could need in the kitchen. The property had every kind of tropical specimen plant you can imagine. We ventured out and took one of the kayaks out to Little Diamond Cay. Next trip we will attempt Big Diamond Cay. We took long daily walks on the beautiful pink sand beach. Steve and Cindy were easy to deal with and responded very quickly to any of our questions. We will be back!

Perfect island retreat!

This is the perfect spot to get away and have some peace and quiet in the most beautiful tropical setting! The front of the house is almost completely glass and you have a stunning ocean view almost everywhere you look! The master suite also faces the beach, so you wake up to the sunrise over the turquoise water every morning. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything that you need! There are some good restaurants within about 15-20 min and the locals at the dive shop in Governor's Harbor will give you some great snorkeling destinations to explore as well. Highly recommend a half day fishing and snorkeling trip with Paul Petty while you are there! We stayed 10 days and have all said we wished we could be back there now. Can't beat it!

Great house/Great vacation April 2-9 2011

Just got back from Eluethera and Pura Vida, it was awesome! House is fantastic, makes you feel very comfortable and at home immediately. Owners gave great guidance and it was as easy and stress free as it gets! A true get away,top notch decore and kitchen, in fact the owers added a huge great new gas BBQ while we where there! Beach was great and most days saw only a couple people and this was spring break Never used A/C as perfect breeze of ocean was fantastic.and when it got breezy on Atlantic we went 1 mile to Ten Bay beach on Carribean side for calm warm waters and great shelling. Starfish, Sand Dollars etc.. Waters are beautiful and setting cant be better. Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful home with us we will dream about it until we return next year! Best of the best!

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!

Pura Villa is excellent!

Third trip to Lutra. Our second two week stay and second in Palmetto Point. Pura Villa is an excellent villa. It was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The layout is great, with the screened-in sleeping porch one of my favorite features. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear and appliances..the knives were even reasonably sharp! The beach out front is exceptional. With a very nice sandy entry a few yards south of the stairs and tons of great snorkeling reefs a handful of yards from shore. The Internet is spotty at times, but was pretty good for Eleuthera. And why would you spend much time on it anyway when you could be ignoring the world and watching the waves come in?! Overall an extremely positive experience. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place

This was our 3rd time to rent Pura Vida.Our daughter joined us for one of our weeks there and she loved it too.At first there was no WIFI for several days but the caretaker took care of that.All 3 times we were there the phone never worked.This time my new phone allowed me to use WIFi calling and I have a travel plan for $10/day which I used when there was no internet or WIFI.The internet is awesome if you need to stay in touch with your business etc.or do Zoom calls which my husband had to do once or twice.The appliances had all been replaced this time.Everything worked which we haven't seen always in other rentals.The owner is very assessible as well.Can't wait to go back!

Loved Pura Vida and Eleuthera!

We just returned from a wonderful ten day stay at Pura Vida in Eleuthera. We are seasoned travelers who have stayed in numerous accommodations throughout the Caribbean and have to say that Pura Vida was a delight. Steve and Cindy are a pleasure to deal with and answered all of our questions in a timely and friendly manner. The house itself is well maintained and spotless. It contains everything you need, from beach chairs to electronic appliances to kitchenware, that make your stay as comfortable as possible. The beach in front of the house is beautiful and you can walk for miles without encountering a single soul. Our children enjoyed kayaking to the cays, snorkeling, fishing and just playing in the surf. You can imagine their excitement when dolphins swam by while they were playing in the water. The house is ideally located for exploring the many unique beaches and towns throughout the Eleuthera. We are so glad to have chosen Pura Vida and will no doubt be back in the future!

Amazing Honeymoon

Go to Eleuthera and stay here!! We could not have picked a better place to spend our honeymoon. We stayed at Pura Vida for 10 nights and it was an amazing trip. Everything is as described and so much better in person. The view from the house and on the beach is exquisite. The grounds are even more private than pictured. You cannot be seen from inside the house or in most of the backyard by any neighboring houses or anyone on the beach. We only saw 2 people on the beach the whole time we were there. We loved laying in the hammock or in the loungers and watching the waves or stars. I would definitely recommend renting a jeep. There is so much to explore of the island and the roads are not in the best shape. Have some conch fritters and enjoy 1 of the many beautiful beaches! We found that no matter how many beaches we discovered, none were more beautiful than what we already had in Double Bay. We brought back a large back of pink sand and plenty of amazing memories with us. We are already planning our return trip. :)
