Pura Vida - Cape Crossing Resort and Marina
Summary:
Unwind on the water at Pura Vida, a charming one-bedroom houseboat anchored in a prime marina location. Enjoy panoramic water views, playful dolphins, and the thrill of Space Coast rocket launches from your private covered porch. Embrace the gentle sway of the boat and immerse yourself in the friendly boating community. Your perfect retreat awaits.
The Space:
Step aboard Pura Vida and immerse yourself in the charm of a unique boat retreat. The boat boasts a very comfortable living room with boho/vintage/contemporary vibes, featuring a brand new queen sleeper sofa. Situated across from the living area, you'll find a dining area seating four, complete with a full kitchen boasting a four-burner gas range, full-size fridge/freezer, and new quartz countertops.
Throughout the boat, you'll notice all-new flooring, paint, ceiling fans, countertops, and window blinds, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere. If work calls, make use of the dedicated cubby space equipped with a printer, desk and chair. The bathroom may be compact but offers all the necessary amenities, including a shower with marine-grade toilet tissue provided for your convenience.
Venture a bit further inside the boat to discover a private bedroom adorned with a comfortable queen bed. Additionally, a makeup table or a second work area is available for your convenience. A small combo washer/dryer is tucked away in a closet, ensuring you have everything you need for a seamless stay, though we recommend small loads to avoid wrinkling. Alternatively, a iron and iron board are provided to keep your clothes looking fresh.
Step outside onto the rear covered porch (stern) and find a small bistro table and two chairs, perfect for embracing the marina ambiance. As you ascend the stairs, (please always descend the same way you ascended the stairs) another covered living room awaits, complete with two sofas, chairs, a 55" Smart TV and two newly installed swinging chairs to make the most of the surrounding views. The Isinglass can be lowered for added privacy or to shield against cooler days. For those seeking some sun-kissed relaxation, head to the open area featuring two loungers, perfect for basking in the sun's rays. Enjoy a delicious meal made fresh by you on the gas grill as the sunsets over the marina.
Not only does the marina boasts its unique charm, you are also granted access to the resort's pool and clubhouse facilities.
Upon assuming management recently, the owner of Pura Vida has garnered exclusively 5-star reviews. Staying on Pura Vida promises to be an unforgettable experience, offering a fun, unique, and rewarding retreat. Please keep in mind that Pura Vida is only available for a limited time throughout the year, specifically from February through mid-April and again from June through mid-August. Don't miss the chance to enjoy this exceptional getaway. Welcome aboard!
Guest Access:
Enjoy the entire houseboat except the basement which is designated for private storage.
Please descend the stairs the same way you ascended. Coming down the stairs is safest if you are facing forward toward the boat with your back to the water.
