Superb Experience

We stayed here during a recent trip to visit my in-laws and it was just wonderful. It was perfect for our family and we so enjoyed all the outdoor areas. Various members of our family were often found lounging outside, reading or enjoying a snack. The spa was perfect after a long day. Inside was clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by The Pura Vida

Host profile image
After traveling many places we found the last remaining piece of Old Florida left. Palm Island and Placida or also known as the Cape Haze Peninsula, is so unknown to many people that we decided to invite you to discover the hidden gem. The happiest people in the world life the Pura Vida so we decided to create a little version under the Florida sun with the Caribbean charme.

Why they chose this property

We invite you to life the Pura Vida and enjoy your Hot Tub surrounded by curtains in the middle of the tropical garden. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting under a Tiki roof. Gateway to Palm Island and the hidden beaches covered with shells and shark teeth.

What makes this property unique

Every drink taste better under a Tiki roof.
