We really enjoyed our time in the Boca Grande apartment. It was the perfect size for us (2 adults) and had everything we needed for the week. We would definitely stay here again if/when we return to the area!
This was our 3rd year coming here and love this place. Close to beaches, golf, fabulous restaurants and shopping. Unit and hot tub are excellent. Wonderful hosts! Thank you A & K
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.
This is our second year coming to this wonderful place. Close to golf courses, beaches, restaurants and shopping. The hosts are courteous, friendly and keep the units clean and functional. We love our outdoor personal hot tub! We are returning next year to this gem!
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
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.
Unit was clean, organized and very beautiful. Bed was comfortable and unit had everything we needed. Hot tub was located in tropical setting with colourful lights and was clean. Hosts are amazing…😄
Close to many beautiful beaches, groceries, golf, restaurants and boat rentals. We have booked for next year and excited to return to this wonderful gem.
We stayed for a month and were very pleased with our apartment. It was spotless and equipped with everything we needed. Alex and Katja were delightful, helpful and provided us with all the information we needed. Close to the ICW and beaches! We will be back.
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.
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.
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!

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. 😊
Very nice place and great communications with owners. Very clean with no surprises. Great bike paths to Boca Grande.

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
