Clean and Easy Access to Beaches and Parks

Owner was very communicative and welcoming. Pura Vida was clean and well equipped with basics. Easy access to beaches and parks. My little frenchie struggled a little with the rock court yard and stairs but we made it work. Surprisingly quiet for being on busy Placida road. Check-in was easy and the owner made sure to stop by.

Tropical Getaway!

We loved our stay at Pura Vida. Katia and Alex are wonderful hosts. The apartment is clean and spacious and having our own tiki hut on the 2nd floor, hot tub below, and access to bikes all made it extra special. We love the location too, close to everything including Boca Grande and Palm Island. We have already booked for next year!

Coastal Winter Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at the Manasota Key to escape the winter cold. We appreciated the tasteful coastal decorating theme of the unit as well as the palm tree courtyard and hot tub for relaxing. We especially enjoyed access to beach chairs and shelling equipment to take to nearby beaches. The owners were very helpful if we had any questions or needed anything. It is a wonderful place to stay.

Wonderful oasis

Close to the ferry and across the street from a restaurant (when open), and the water taxi, Pura Vida offers a surprisingly quiet garden oasis with luxurious amenities including hammocks and a personal hot tub. Room was very spacious and accommodating. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Hosts are sweet.

A true oasis

My husband and I stayed here for the month of February 2024 and had a restful and truly enjoyable experience. The Hosts were visible on the property numerous times and extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment was as viewed on VRBO… no surprises. We brought our dog and she, too, had the best time! We hope to return! The common area they created to relax in was filled with beautiful palm trees, fruit bearing trees and totally fenced in… a true oasis!
