Super cute, quiet private property. Loved the hot tub, the bikes and extremely quick responses. I would highly recommend this place and would book again!
Had a wonderful time. Property was very clean and well kept. Owners communicate extremely well. This will definitely be my go-to property when visiting family in Placida
The condo was clean and perfect for what we needed. My family lives close by so the spot was great. My kids lived the hammocks and and the outside area is cute. The hosts are very responsive and helpful and it is a great location close to groceries, beach, shopping and everything you need. Would stay again.
We stayed here during a recent trip to visit my in-laws and it was just wonderful. It was perfect for our family and we so enjoyed all the outdoor areas. Various members of our family were often found lounging outside, reading or enjoying a snack. The spa was perfect after a long day. Inside was clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
We loved everything about this place. It is beautifully decorated and immaculate. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. The outside courtyard is a little oasis with palm trees and 4 hot tubs. So happy we found this place!
Excellent communication, walking distance to Cape Haze Marina where we had boat tour booked. Unit appeared newly remodeled, grounds were gorgeous with lots of room to relax and enjoy peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend!
Alex & Katja are wonderful hosts - you can tell they really love their place and what they do!Katja communicated well in advance so check in was flawless, and Alex has some great food recommendations.Everything you could possibly need was there - each unit has its own private hot tub, and there is a shared space with lounge chairs, tables and even a grill. And inside, everything imageable is stocked - just show up and enjoy a little slice of paradise!
We enjoyed our stay while visiting the area for a quick trip to visit family. What a pleasant surprise to find this spot. The unit was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The host was lovely and welcoming! We will be returning on our next trip out!
Thank you Katja! We’re grateful.
We spent a week in one of the downstairs apartments. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the entire establishment and the locations convenience to shopping restaurants and beaches. Traffic was light compared to many other Florida areas we have visited. We will definitely be back! We also loved getting in the hot tub!
We were very impressed from the moment we arrived. The property is beautiful with a relaxing vibe. The location is convenient to beautiful beaches, restaurants, and shopping.
The accommodations are super clean, updated, and comfortable. We did enjoy relaxing in the hot tub after a day's excursion. Katja is an excellent and responsive host. We look forward to a return trip. Thank you Katja!
My husband and I stayed here for 10 days while visiting family. The Pura Vida was perfect for us. Centrally located to beaches, stores, marinas and our family. There is a nice walking/biking path the runs along the road out front for exercise. The outdoor areas were clean and well layed out. The unit was clean and comfortable. Our host made a point of checking in on us after a few days to make sure all was well. We were quite pleased with our stay and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.
Clean roomy well furnished
One of the owners stopped by and was quite nice and genuinely concerned about us
My only complaint is the property did not mention you must rent an upstairs apartment to use the hot tub in the garden (which is quite beautiful)
Otherwise the one you use is behind the building (which is not quite beautiful)
I. Just thought they should mention it
Otherwise, very satisfied
