Wonderful small retreat
Wonderful location right on the beach. Easy drive to get to. Beach was only yards away and there was very few people on the beach near us. House was clean and stocked well. Property lived up to its description . We enjoyed our 6 days very much and would use this property again. Many positive attributes. The only negatives I can think of are that it is a smaller 3 bedroom house so if we had filled the bedrooms it might have felt cramped. The bathrooms are small and the furniture is not comfortable. But we spent very little time sitting in the den. We tried to stay outside as much as possible.

Property couldn’t be better located! Cute, clean house - love, love the boardwalk to the beach and the fire pit area. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the bed in the primary room and the sofa need to be replaced as they are so uncomfortable they were unable unusable.

From the location, parking, extras like labeling everything , charging ports, to the whole front house view and provided firewood, we could not have asked for more. The small bathroom showered would not stay in position so we could use it, but there were only two of us so we didn't really need it.The house is fully upgraded to have all the things you could want. Purely enjoyed our week!

We had an amazing vacation
Craig was always quick to respond. The house was beautiful and you cant beat the location. When we come back to St George we will definetly stay here. The king mattress needs be replaced. It has large impressions where guests lay the most and it made it difficult to sleep. That is my only complaint. Everything else was amazing. Like I said this will be our go too for St George island.

Much needed getaway
Relaxing and wonderful. Owners are great to work with - good communication as we were dodging hurricanes leading up to and throughout our stay :). I especially like the boardwalk onto the beach because you avoid the prickly things that grow on the beachgrass. Also the foot wash and outdoor shower were so convenient to quickly wash our furry friend of the salt and sand. We were fortunate to watch as Milton blew by south of us and got some great sunset pictures afterwards. Also loved the view and cushioned benches along the large windows facing the beach. Good food at local restaurants and such a charming community. Can’t wait to come back.

Very nice place to stay only thing was the grass needed a good trim even down the walk way. Just wished I could have gotten a refund on the 4 days I could not stay because we were told to evacuate the island . Still a beautiful place to stay.

Wow! The view from this home is amazing! We stayed a week with our children and grandchildren and had a blast. Home has everything you need. Very clean, easy check in and out. We played on the beach, took long walks, rented a golf cart to ride the island. It just went by too fast. The A/C in the home works great and the beds all slept good. Thanks for sharing your home.

AMAZING views!!!
The view here is absolutely amazing. We had great weather with an occasional storm. Dolphins were out everyday. The island basically has anything you need for your stay. The house fit our family perfectly. I would recommend a pop up canopy for the deck as the sun can be brutal mid day. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to just relax, this is it!

Great Family Getaway
This was the perfect beach house for my family. The location on St. George Island is perfect! We loved being right on the beach so we didn't have to haul our stuff very far. The house was clean and had everything we needed. By the end of the week our young boys were calling it their beach house. We are already planning on staying here again next year!

My friend, her dog and I stayed the week of April 20-27. We had a fabulous time! Pura Vida has a wonderful deck and a gorgeous wall of windows to look out over the beach! Everything you could want is in the house. We even had a bonfire in the fire pit and made some-mores with friends. The owners answered all texts immediately. It was a wonderful vacation and can’t wait to go back!

Great view, responsive owners, minor house issues
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Pura Vida. The view can't be beat, the owners are kind and responsive, and the deck space is perfect for dogs, especially as one of ours is a tripod and having a ramp down to the beach was wonderful for her. That said, there were a few issues that kept it from getting five stars. There was dog poop on the steps from the parking area upon our arrival, and it was clear a previous dog had marked in the house (the kitchen mat in particular smelled strongly of urine and had to be washed, but the owners also ordered a replacement that was scheduled to be delivered the day we left). We are animal people and not squeamish about cleaning up accidents, but it was a shame the housecleaner had missed these. There were also some minor maintenance issues—loose doorknobs and toilet paper holders (my husband fixed them), mildewy caulk in the master shower, and a broken oversize Connect Four game with all the discs loose on the floor when we got there. Not a big deal, but doesn't make the best first impression. I think with a deep clean and a handyman's attention, this house would be stellar. It's been tastefully renovated, has a well-stocked kitchen, and is in a prime location, but needs a little more attention in these areas to be five stars.

We had a wonderful time at Pura Vida! The house had the most beautiful view of the Gulf and the most incredible waterfront, expansive porch. I always like to cook for my family on vacation, and the kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen with all the necessary kitchen tools for cooking. Also, the house was clean and in tip top shape! I would definitely rent this property again. It was like a dream spending a week at Pura Vida!
