Pura Vida, Family Reunions Just Got More Affordable-Special Discounts Available!

I cannot say enough about our wonderful stay at Pura Vida. We spent three nights there with our 3 families which totaled 18 people 6 months old and up!The house is a beautiful Spanish style home with all of the modern conveniences. The home was comfortable and the gathering room and kitchen were perfect for a large group. There were new and beautiful things to discover about this home at every turn. The landscaping and pool were lovely. Only a very short walk to an amazingly beach. Chris the owner and Joe the property manager were both very helpful and accommodating. Not only is Joe the property manager he is also an accomplished chef and can be hired to prepare a dinner for you at the house. He made us a delicious Puerto Rican meal. Yum! Don't miss the chance to enjoy this beautiful home.

This house has great potential but unfortunately it is poorly managed. They would benefit from a simple checklist to ensure everything is in order. Upon our arrival: 2 of the third floor air conditioners were not working, keypad codes were not updated for the third floor, the outdoor lounger cushions were not made available and the remote control for the TV had no batteries. A customer should not discover these on their own. The house itself is very worn down and not well maintained. Paint peeling from the ceilings, walls need a fresh coat of paint, new bed pillows or double pillowcases would make things more hygienic, the pots and pans look like ones found on the street for free, mold in the upper corners of the rooms, only 3 beach chairs… I think you get the idea.The landscaping is very nice and the pool is a decent size. Bring a speaker to drown out the traffic noise. The location (besides the traffic noise) is the best thing about this place. It’s a 10 minute walk to Steps or the Marina beaches.If you are in your 20s and come here with 15 friends, you may overlook how worn down the place is. This is a party house; nothing luxurious here except for the landscaping.The owner tried to compensate by offering the basement apartment to us. I politely declined after smelling it. There is a heavy musty smell in here. I do not recommend renting this apartment. Two walls are below grade level so it is very dark and damp.Take the lower rated reviews to heart.

We had an amazing time. The house house is gorgeous and spacious. We had a family reunion with a group of 21. Chris was an extraordinary host. Great communication and he try to accommodated most of our request. It exceeded our expectations. Thank you Chris, We will be back!!!

Our family of 17 had an amazing time at Pura Vida. Everything was perfect, from checking in with Joe to a last minute request I made that was granted. If youre looking for a house in Rincon with access to a beautiful beach, look no further; this is the house!!

The house is beautiful, big and spacious. Many beautiful beaches near by. Joe was an awesome host he gave us a walk thru of the house and gave us the ins and outs of Rincon.

Excellent pool area Great balconies. Fully equipped kitchen

Lovely place to stay. Centrally located. Joe, the property manager was wonderful to work with. Thank you so much!

The property was as expected. Check in was easy. We had one minor issue where the propane tanks were empty but the owner was very responsive and addressed the issue quickly. The house is a short walk to the beach. There was great snorkeling and a cute waterfront with bars and restaurants. We loved the pool area. One note about the house layout. If you have a very large group (we had 19) and use every bedroom, some bedrooms are not accessible unless you walk through another bedroom. Same situation with the bathrooms. But other than that we had a great stay and would book again.

Our sixteen family members, including 8 adults and 8 children ranging in age from 6 to 16, fit beautifully in this spacious and well located house. The long table on the verandah accommodated all of us for the dinners we ate together at home. We walked to morning yoga near the beach, to the beach and lighthouse to watch the sunset, to local shops and coffee shops. We walked to the nearby beach and did some surfing close by as well. The pool area was attractive and comfortably furnished and the kids spent hours in the water. The owner was easily accessible and responded usually within minutes to questions. The local manager was also easily contacted. We all greatly enjoyed our week's vacation.

Location is amazing. House is amazing. Communication was great. I would definitely stay again!
