About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pura Vida - Private Pool, Beach Access, Tennis & Pickle Ball Court!

Welcome to Pura Vida, a relaxed yet refined retreat in the heart of the exclusive St. George Island Plantation. Designed for families and friends who cherish time together, this home blends the beauty of the coast with the comforts of resort living - just steps to the Gulf.

Inside, airy tile and light hardwood floors set a breezy tone, while the open floor plan invites gathering - from cooking in the gleaming kitchen with stainless appliances to game nights around the table or movie marathons in the spacious living area. With room to sleep 10 and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, there's space for everyone to reconnect.

Step outside to your own private paradise: a resort style pool surrounded by tropical landscaping, lounge chairs and a park-style grill for al fresco dinners under the stars. Multiple decks - including a top floor screened retreat - offer private escapes off nearly every bedroom and covered concrete parking below ensures ease when arriving or unloading after a day at the beach.

As a guest of Pura Vida, you'll enjoy full access to all the upscale amenities of the Plantation, including miles of biking and hiking trails, 2 Olympic sized pools, tennis and pickleball courts and a modern fitness center. Whether you're sipping morning coffee with a breeze on the deck or rinsing off in the outdoor shower after a day in the sun, every detail at Pura Vida was designed with relaxation in mind.

Come experience the true meaning of Pura Vida - the good life, Island style.

Bed Sizes: 2 Kings, 2 Queens, 2 Twins

Optional pool heating is available for $115 per night.

Your beach vacation rental through St. George Island Vacations includes a beach gear credit that can be applied to beach chairs, umbrellas, bicycles, paddleboards, kayaks, beach wagons and more!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Intially we were surpised to learn that the mother in law suite was located outside. It was not clear on the website. Also the exterior cameras were not welcomed, especially the one towards the pool area.
