The tropical garden invites you to discover the seasonal available tropical fruit trees which you can harvest and enjoy during your stay.

Fully equipped Kitchen including dishwasher, oven, microwave and large side by side refrigerator.

The apartment is equipped with an hotel safe, hair dryer, iron with ironing board and has access to the laundry area. The self check in/out allows maximum flexibility for your arrival and departure.

Bring your boat and store it across the street with PALM HARBOUR Marina (www.palm-harbourmarina.com) There are wet slips available on a daily base, including power and water. Also you can use the fantastic commercial swimming pool for free if you rent a boat slip! Ask us for more information or contact Palm Harbour Marina (phone 941.697.4356).

Also in walking distance is the Palm Island water taxi located. (Discount if you have your boat in the marina!)

A 3 minute walk away leaves the ferry to Palm Island. You are able to discover the secret beaches of Palm Island. These beaches allow you to find the best shells and shark teeth even without a boat. Most of the people never find the island!

The Pura Vida residence is located in the heart of Cape Haze. Sitting in between Palm Harbour Marina and the Freedom Boat Club. You have the choice! Or just charter one of the fishing captains across the street and enjoy the world famous fishing between Stump Pass and Boca Grande. Boca Grande is known to be the Tarpon fishing capital of the world.

Right across the street, the Water Taxi brings you directly to Rum Bay restaurant which is the only restaurant on Palm Island.

We offer beach towels and chairs for your beach time. You are in the center of Old Florida vacation paradise. One of Floridas best kept secrets are our barrier islands. Take full advantage of the Palm Harbour Marina and bring your boat with you.

Wonderful Property & Location
Cozy, clean, tropical setting, awesome private spa tub, breezy deck, great owners, and close to Englewood beaches and Boca Grande. Many very good restaurants, tiki bars close to this location. We took the water taxi (across the street) to Palm Island and had a sunset dinner at Rum Bay. Make sure you take a sunset boat ride…we saw a LOT of dolphins.

Tiki Hut delight
Our apartment was very clean and welcoming - private hot tub in tropical garden. 15 minutes to beautiful Englewood Beach. Covered porch made it cool and convenient for outside dinner and relaxation. This was our second visit and we will most likely return.

Tropical Paradise
Pleasantly surprised by the accommodation of the Villa. It was very updated, clean and spacious. It had everything we needed for the week. Hosts were very informative, friendly, and accommodating. Area was close to many attractions. We loved having the fresh fruit that was provided from their beautiful landscape.

Tiki Hut Paradise
Our stay at the Pura Vida, Boca Grande apartment, was extraordinary. The location is ideal for exploring beaches, trails, and sites. However, once out and about we really just wanted to relax at our apartment. Katja and her husband, have created a paradise not only for couples, but also for those seeking a location for entire group getaways or perhaps a family reunion. The apartment(s) is emasculate, pristine, and a fun place to enjoy. Staying at the Pura Vida is a memorable experience. Cheryl and Woody

A must needed getaway
Katja and Alex are beyond amazing hosts! They made sure we made it safely and were able to get into our vacation rental (which was immaculate). Pura Vida is the perfect place to stay for those looking for a relaxing vacation - it’s a short driving distance from Boca Grande and Venice; and it’s directly across from a marina where you can take a water taxi into palm island. The best part is it’s a contactless / keyless checkin which makes it extremely easy to travel. We never had to worry about losing keys as all entries and doors have keypads! 10/10 we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for allowing us to spend our honeymoon in your paradise.

Pura Vida Pura Heaven
We loved our stay at Pura Vida! Everything about it was first class, We were hesitant about renting because there were no reviews yet, but the accommodations were exceptional. We loved all the fruit and palm trees throughout the property. Katja and Alek were the perfect hosts. They always got back to us promptly answering all our questions regarding the many beaches and where to find sharks teeth. They gave us some teeth they had found, so we knew what we were looking for. We loved the area, taking the golf cart to Palm Island and all the great restaurants. We will be back! Joni and Paul Lerum

Amazing place and wonderful hosts !
I stayed in the Bocha Grande unit and was very happy with how well kept, clean, and decorated it was, inside and out. Even walking around the grounds felt like I was in a private resort on an island somewhere. And the hosts, Katja and Alex, made me feel so welcomed and right at home. Whenever I needed anything, they were right there to accommodate. Also, I sleep on a memory foam mattress at home and was a little worried when I first saw the pillow top bed but wow, I was pleasantly surprised ! It was so comfortable and relaxing, I hardly moved during the night which made it easy to make the bed every morning. I stayed here 7 days and would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone else ! Thanks again for being such warm and caring people Alex and Katja, and allowing me to have such a beautiful place to stay while I was there. 😊

Great, But
I lost all of my groceries as the fridge wasn't working. The owner did offer to allow me to use the fridge in another unit downstairs but that was rather inconvenient. We ended up just having to trash all the food . What a waste. Otherwise the property was nice, however the location itself is pretty remote. Very clean and I enjoyed the outdoor space

Pura Vida is a tropical paradise hidden in Placida Florida! We loved our second floor apartment overlooking the palm trees and gardens, and our own private hotub cabana. Owners are super friendly and responded quickly to our requests. Pet friendly, yet quiet and relaxing. Everything was very new and clean, the decor beautifully done. Five Stars!!!

Beautiful tropical retreat.
Pura Vida is absolutely amazing. So much thought went into making this property a relaxing tropical retreat. It’s close to local beaches, restaurants, golf and nightlife, yet is quiet and secluded. With its beautiful seating areas, Pura Vida would be an ideal choice if traveling with other couples. Can’t wait to come back.
