The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and absolutely perfect for our group. Communication with the host was amazing, responsive, helpful, and made everything seamless from start to finish.The private pool was a huge highlight, so refreshing after long days at the beach. The location couldn’t be better; walking distance to the beach, local restaurants, and shopping. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips.Already looking forward to booking again for next year.

Living room is perfect hangout place Two flaws -- for a house that can sleep 12 people, having 2 showers is difficult to manage. The parking situation is terrible. You need to find a way to expand it. Once you have golf carts + cars, there is no where to park ##### vikie s. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bonnie b.

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. ##### bonnie b. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christi B. Jul 12, 2021 Disliked: Communication #### Beach bummer The house is way smaller than it appears in the posted pictures. The property manager is basically unreachable and when you finally get a call back he treats you like you are stupid. Upper bunk sheets were dirty. The walls were dirty. The throw pillows on the bed were stained and stunk. The house was decorated well and it has a very functional layout but the parking and the outside pool area are a mess. The homes need to be power washed and dead trees need to be removed. ##### Christi B.

Plenty of room for everyone to relax. Kitchen was very spacious. From the kiddos bunk room to the master bedroom you could tell they spared no expense to provide a quality stay. I would have given it a 5 star Overall Review except like most VRBO accessing and operating the television, stereo and cable is frustrating. I would highly recommend step by step instructions. I would also add that the staff was very professional, responsive and offered suggestions to help us quickly get acclimated to the community. ##### Loretta O.

Was able to get my moms electric wheelchair in the house as well, we did have our own ramp though. Clean towels and everything you pretty much need.

Aug 17, 2020 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Sue O. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### 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 . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki A. Sep 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Vicki A.
