Beautiful and Fun Get Away
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!

Incredible and great communication
Fantastic! The home had everything we needed and was perfect for our family of 5. Right on the beach with the perfect porch for watching sunrises on a quiet stretch of beach. Craig was awesome - very quick to respond if we had questions and incredibly helpful! Already looking at dates to book again!

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.

Pura Vida
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!

We miss SGI!!
This home has a wonderful view, with great access to a low key beach area! It had everything that we needed to relax and have a great week. The owners have added a lot of modern touches to the home, including the kitchen, which was my favorite space, besides the beach of course! We had a small maintenance issue, but the owners were easy to communicate with and we resolved it quickly. We will definitely come back to SGI and this house!

Highly Recommend!!
We loved this house and SGI so much! Thank you so much for being pet friendly. It was neat to be able to enjoy the beach with our goldendoodle. The foot washing station was great and doubled as a good place for her to get fresh water. The enclosed deck was awesome too. The house itself was even cuter than the pictures. The windows along the beach side with the window seating were my favorite place to sit and read or just people watch. The kitchen was great and had new appliances it appeared. The king size bed was super comfy and the bathrooms had tons of towels. We biked, kayaked and rented a boat one day. I can't wait to come back!! If you are tired of over crowded beaches, this is your spot!!

Needs some TLC
The house had great ocean views. It was dirty when we got there. The master bath floor was filthy. There was a dirty dish rag in the kitchen sink and the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. Master bedroom door knob is loose. Overall it could have been cleaner. Owners had someone come get some stuff from the owners closet while we were there. They also wanted to send someone to get the only key to the house to go make copies of it. It seemed they were not prepared for us to check in.

Pura Vida: A great way to start summer!
Enjoyed our stay here last year, so we invited friends to join us this time. We saw big waves & enjoyed calm waters, too. Renting chairs & umbrellas was so easy, and added to the fun. The house is a perfect layout in a perfect location. The kitchen is well appointed, and offered us dinner with the best view ever! The guys provided fresh-caught tripletail & we picked up steamed shrimp from Piggly Wiggly on SGI. Can’t wait to return !!!

From the Highlands to the Islands!
We found Pura Vida searching for dog-friendly rentals on the island that were beachfront. This home does not disappoint! The view of the gulf is breathtaking from the large picture windows that span the front of the house. The deck space was amazing and a perfect place to hang out after you were done down at the beach. Everything in this home is very well thought out - from the foot wash at the beach end of the ramp to the shower at the top to all the hooks and cubbies for storage. The home itself is very comfortable and we lacked for nothing during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and there were plenty of towels. There were even beach toys to use. Our 2 doodles had an amazing time at the beach and couldn't wait to get out there each morning. The home was clean & very well maintained and the owners extremely responsive & helpful. Being a native Floridian who moved to the North Carolina mountains 12 years ago, I have been searching for beach destination that recalled what it was like to grow up in 'old Florida'. I'm not sure where I first heard of St. George Island, but it was exactly what we were looking for! We've done the Destin/Panama Beach scene and while the beaches are lovely, being from a small town tends to lead you away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist set. The small town, welcoming feel of SGI made us feel right at home and Pura Vida felt like our own private paradise. We can't wait to go back and would absolutely book this home again!
