Independent in Historic Downtown Apalachicola

"We wanted a clean, inexpensive beachfront hotel for a quick trip and this dod not disappoint. Check-in was quick and simple. The corner room was beachside and poolside. You cannot see the ocean from lower level because of the dunes. Next time, we may opt to stay upstairs. The room was spacious and clean. Simple furnishings, but everything you need was supplied in the bathroom and kitchenette. Extra coffee packets were provided by the lobby staff. The pool was clean and refreshing. There was some litter (unopened beers) and clothing left on the decks for days. Maybe the staff thought someone would come back to claim it. We rented a golfcart to get around. Very convenient withing walking to beach, restaurants, lighthouse. Overall, it was a nice stay and I would recommend to others."

"My Very clean room and staff was exceptional. Absolutely would recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay."

"Property was amazing!"

"I hope you don't like to sleep in, take naps in the afternoon or go to sleep early because this place is loud. I could literally hear a person snoring next door! Quiet time starts at 10pm and the staff could do a better job of verbally explaining that instead of expecting everyone to read the fine print on their bill. It's a very communal atmosphere because instead of coffee makers in the rooms, there is a Keurig with pods, sugar and creamer in the hallway of the main and second level. There is a balcony with seating for each room all the way around. Smoking is allowed out there and it made it hard to enjoy the ocean breeze in the mornings. My room was equipped with a nice size mini fridge and microwave, both clean. There was only one outlet to plug things in and it was falling out of the wall. There is no way to control your individual room temperature but there was a nice and powerful ceiling fan with a remote! Except for dirty floor and the hair in the shower, the room was reasonably clean. Housekeeping isn't a daily thing, if that's a concern for you. The main areas were well maintained and smelled clean. Overall the location to the beach is good but I wouldn't stay here again."

"The stay exceeded our expectations! We are a big families with small children, so we need space, and cleanliness but the condo was much more than that. It felt like home away from home."

"The place is quaint and centrally located. You can walk to all the cute boutiques. It is clean and updated."

"Great time at Pura Vida! Our family of 5 was comfortable in this cute beach house. It was clean and well stocked with easy access to the beach and the views from the house picture window and deck were stunning!The location of Pura Vida was wonderful with a quiet residential location and a private beach feel yet close to great restaurants and shops only a mile away. Looking forward to returning soon! Highly recommend this property."

"We had a great time at this property. Loved the layout of the house. The pool was clean and warm. The laundry area was great for storing coolers and also used that fridge for beer and bait. Overall, we were very pleased."

"The cottage is charming and has character. The location is great with easy access to the beach, shopping,and just going for a bicycle ride around town. Bikes provided by the host, John, who is very pleasant , personable, and helpfull."
