We enjoyed our stay at the Manasota Key to escape the winter cold. We appreciated the tasteful coastal decorating theme of the unit as well as the palm tree courtyard and hot tub for relaxing. We especially enjoyed access to beach chairs and shelling equipment to take to nearby beaches. The owners were very helpful if we had any questions or needed anything. It is a wonderful place to stay.

Close to the ferry and across the street from a restaurant (when open), and the water taxi, Pura Vida offers a surprisingly quiet garden oasis with luxurious amenities including hammocks and a personal hot tub. Room was very spacious and accommodating. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Hosts are sweet.

My husband and I stayed here for the month of February 2024 and had a restful and truly enjoyable experience. The Hosts were visible on the property numerous times and extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment was as viewed on VRBO… no surprises. We brought our dog and she, too, had the best time! We hope to return! The common area they created to relax in was filled with beautiful palm trees, fruit bearing trees and totally fenced in… a true oasis!

My best friend and I wanted to do a girls getaway vacation. We had no definite plans we just knew we want sand sun and fun. Although this location is not right on the beach, it is centrally located and you can pick a different beach each day!! We loved the apartment! Very clean and updated and we also had our very own private hot tub. We will definitely be back and we recommend this Little Pice of Paradise!

This place was so nice. Everything we needed was thought out. Our own private Jacuzzi too! The landlords were so sweet and were constantly making sure we had what we needed and advice on where to go to the beaches and out to dinner! We wanted to stay another 2 weeks but they were full for the next month and a half. Will definantly go here again.
