Exceptional Rental

jcbouche Charlotte, NC
Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
I have stayed at Pura Vida a couple of times already, and for many reasons. The most obvious is the island of Eleuthera itself. All you have to do is look at pictures of the island to see its natural beauty and appeal. What sets Pura Vida apart is the quality of the home and amenities provided. The house sits overlooking beautiful reefs on the atlantic side of the island. Double Bay is by far my favorite stretch of beach on Eleuthera. Being on the atlantic provides a steady breeze in the summer, while the caribbean side gets much hotter. The small keys a ways out from the beach break water to create one of the few places you can get a nice breeze and calm water rich with coral reefs.

The house itself is unusually well built and maintained for a rental. It was impeccably clean every time I arrived. All of the appliances are top notch, and there's a nice standing BBQ overlooking the beach perfect for grilling the day's catch (there's excellent fishing on the reefs, just check what's in season.) Plus they've got books on local marine life so you know what your catching. There's a nice TV and sound system with lots of channels, although I have a feeling it doesn't get used much in a place with so many better things to do. High-speed internet is a big plus as well. If you get tired of fishing, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, and laying on the beach you can always tour the island, there's lots of great info and maps they leave for you to help with your exploring. They really make it easy to feel at home and relaxed, the ultimate stress-free vacation.

You can really tell Cindy and Steve love this home, it shows in every aspect. This is not a typical rental house, but I will continue to go back as long as it remains one. Writing this is just making me ache to return! I hope it won't be long.

The Great Escape

Melinda & Ed, Susan & John Little Rock, AR
Review Submitted: August 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We planned this childless get-away with our good friends, hoping for a true relaxing vacation. Our goal was a comfortable place, good food, and beautiful scenery. As we arrived we noticed that the website pictures didn't do justice to this wonderful home. Not only was the lay-out perfect for 2 couples, its decorations and appointments were wonderful. From the cookware to the linens, Cindy and Mike obviously prepared it for themselves. We felt right at home immediately.

We came to love the caretaker, George. He was extremely friendly, helpful and always busy around the house. He even showed us how to clean bone fish that we caught with nearby villagers. He couldn’t have been more polite and respectful.

The view from the house and the bright blue-green water was simply picturesque. We couldn't imagine a nicer place to sit for hours reading and listening to the sounds of the ocean. We took full advantage of it!

We all hated to leave at the end of the week. But our goals for the trip were all exceeded in every way. We already have recommended not only Eleuthera to our friends, but Pura Vida specifically. What a place to recharge!

Thanks to Cindy and Steve for sharing their wonderful home with others. It was Heaven on Earth, albeit just for a week.
Owner's Response: Melinda, Ed, Susan and john:

We are so happy to receive your email and hear what a great time you had at Bahamas Pura Vida! It is such a special place and we miss it every day we are away. Please come again and all the best!

My husband and me spend our honeymoon in "Pura Vida" from 26.02.09 til 06.03.09. It was really wonderful, great, sunny, clean.... everything we looked for. The reservation was easy to handle and very satisfying. Steve answered every Email as quick as possible. George, the housekeeper, and Murray, the gardener, were very nice. The house has everything you need. A great equipped kitchen, very clean rooms and furniture, and a wooooooooooonderful master-bedroom with exclusive oceanview (oceanview also from the kitchen and the livingroom!)...so.. the villa is directly on the beach :) But the first morning we woke up..... we were kissed by the sunbeams of an ultimative sunrise.. a little bit early *g* but...... it was so wonderful.... i cant explain :) It was our honeymoon there, and i can say that it was the honeymoon i ever dreamed of. Perfect location, perfect house, perfect handling.... just everything perfect. If you ever think about visiting Eleuthera we can unhasitating recommend this villa!! Steve and Cindy,... thank you for sharing your paradise with us! Sabine and Mirco Sch. Dortmund / Germany

No Place Like This Home

Eastcoker Weaverville, North Carolina
Review Submitted: April 18, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
I have been to Pura Vida three times. The first time I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the wide, pinkish white, long and totally private beach, the finely crafted and constructed house, which is also well appointed, and the beautifully groomed grounds, which only a proprietor of a thoughtful, peaceful type could have designed. It was a great exploration trip of the whole island from that point on with peaceful Pura Vida at its base. It felt good to come back after a long day of curiosity seeking travels. The second time the exploration was limited to areas near Pura Vida, an intensified search for the feel of our neighborhood. Notice I am using the word “our”. The third time was pure Pura Vida. I did not want to stray far from the house or our beach. Pura Vida had become our home away from home. First class accommodations, and after exploring the whole island...finally simply saying “there is no place like home”.

My Fantasy

Migrator Asheville, North Carolina
Review Submitted: October 12, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
If you have not been, Eleuthera is the ultimate island paradise: beautiful beaches and friendly people not on a time clock. If you have been, you should know that Pura Vida is one of the loveliest properties on the island; you feel secluded but not remote. I have stayed at Pura Vida on two occasions, and hope to relax on the double chaise overlooking the Atlantic many more times. After an afternoon on the chaise, it is a five minute ride to see the sunset on the Caribbean side. A couple of the best restaurants I have ever been to are close by, but the gourmet kitchen at Pura Vida makes it easy and tempting to just dine in on the fresh fish and lobster that can be obtained right off the boat at Governors Harbor. The house is immacculate and has all the amenities one could desire. The fact the owner is a contractor shows through in the construction and craftsmanship. The gardens are lovely, private and brimming with flowers and fresh herbs. If you wish to stay wired to the "real" world it can be done here, but why? If you want to engage in outdoor activities, there is plenty to occupy. But, you may find yourself just wanting to pretend you are a permanent resident of this lovely island and welcoming home. I could not be more pleased with the island, the location, the house or the service of the owners and people who care for the property.
