Nice Digs

Place was great. Plenty of room for my group of 8. Centrally located between Port A and Corpus on the island. Was only mile from beach access. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The property management was easy to deal with. Would definitely book again

Spring Break

Property was fantasic. We enjoyed the hot tub a bunch since it was so chilly. We were so close to the beach (could hear the waves roaring) but could not see it or have access to it at all. So because of that we couldn't rent a golf cart but other than that it was a wonderful home. Had all the amenitites that you could want.

New/ Under Construction

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house itself was lovely. However, the whole location was under construction. Next door we woke up to roofers each morning along with other homes being built. Hot tub was a hit with the kids. The ad says oceanfront/beach view however it is not ocean front nor does it have a view. This was specifically why we rented. Sadly, false advertisement for our spring break.

Pura Vida is Pure Relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came to Casa Pura Vida to have a nice, relaxing getaway with the family for Thanksgiving. Casa Pura Vida delivered the relaxation that we were looking for. Our family just enjoyed being together and not having to worry about work plans or school plans for the entire week. The house is a very lovely and cozy environment, that allowed everyone to spread out and enjoy their own space when needed. The only thing that we didn't really like was not having direct beach access from the neighborhood. We still made it all work by taking the side by side over to the beach access entrance and enjoyed watching the dogs and kids play in the water. We ate at Grumbles and Tortuga, and thought both places were very good. The rest of the time we cooked at the property. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

Summer get-a-way

This was a beautiful property. The only reason for not receiving 5-stars was due to the amount of construction in the neighborhood and the lawn stickers. The photos provided on VRBO were older and also displayed the ocean/docks that are not accessible via the property. The yard is difficult to maneuver with the amount of grass stickers. The property also states 'pet-friendly', but if renting from VRBO it doesn't tell you about a pet deposit/fee. Property management company was very helpful and communitive with questions that were asked and maintenance was responsive when call for a slight electrical issue. Our stay was wonderful and the property had all the amenities and more that were needed for our stay. Although not direct beach accessible, the beach wasn't far from the house (2-minute drive). Gold carts are also not accessible for this neighborhood. When reading the Welcome Binder, beware as this does not apply to this property and can be misleading. Although only given 3 stars overall, this doesn't reflect the property itself, but the advertisement of the property.
