All went well

Layout was great for a group of 7, ages 17 to 80. Mattresses were were extremely comfortable! It was very clean and I appreciated heads up on extra things to bring. Suggest u have instructions on the downstairs shower and it has regular coffee pot not a keurig. We will recommend to our friends.

Good location

Let me start on a positive note, the house is well equipped, plenty of seating! The first half of the week the neighbors were considerate and fun. Thursday the people that came took our parking space we had to ask them to move, brought a speaker and played loud inappropriate music, stayed in the pool being loud until 4:00am. I didn’t think dogs were allowed. There were 3 in the units?? The shower upstairs was moldy and mildewed we spent 2 days trying to get it off, got most of it off. The electric bar under one of the cabinets was hanging by wires, maintenance came and attempted to snap it back on, we never used it as we had concerns. There was no broom or anything to sweep floors, we asked maintenance for a broom they brought one and some mold and mildew remover for us to use. The bathroom carpet was disgusting, so we washed it ourselves. The rugs have stains on all of them, the stairs had hair and dirt all over. When you opened the cabinet it had a strong musty odor... maybe some damp rid in a back corner would help. There are no cake pans or a crock pot.. thankfully I brought my own. The location is great a short drive to the beach, and very convenient to shopping, grocery and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay once we cleaned! Sheets on beds are rough but I had some with me so we just put them over the sandpaper, the mattresses were comfortable. If this is your first time to stay at a VRBO place you would love it, because you might not realize there are so many others that are very very clean! I tried calling and emailing the weekend before our arrival as the hurricane went through on Saturday, we arrived on Monday. I called a friend in Corpus that said Port A was ok!

Beautiful House on Pura Vida

The house itself is beautiful , the layout was very simple & functional . My family enjoyed our stay & the kids had so much fun in the swimming pool .It was a far walk from the beach especially in the summer time when it is too hot . We were very disappointed when we arrived! The property was not ready at all for occupancy ,housekeeping had to quickly clean the whole house .The Wifi did not work at all with the password they gave & when I called the management nobody called me back to help us out . I certainly would not go back to this company .

Great Place!

We were really impressed with the cleanliness and decor of Pura Vida. The kitchen was stocked with everything that you could want. The only thing that we could of used was a broom and dustpan to sweep up with, never found one. Was there for granddaughter's wedding; our house held our two sons , their wives, two small grandchildren, Mother-in-law and my husband and I. Was plenty of room for all of us! Grand kids got to enjoy the pool. Will try and rent again in the future.
