About this property

Pura Vida! Heated Pool, Pizza Oven Outdoor Kitchen & Bath - Near Cocoa Beach

  • Pura Vida! The home is centrally located in Merritt Island, minutes from Cocoa Beach. The backyard offers many amenities including a heated pool, outdoor bathroom with toilet, sink and shower, fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and a bar area with a 65" smart TV. The first and second bedrooms have double doors that lead out to the patio by the pool. This is a great place for a family vacation!

    THE SPACE
    The main space inside has an open floor plan with a fully loaded kitchen and living room when you first walk in. Just off the kitchen is a small formal dining room with a washer/dryer tucked away in the closet.
    Master bedroom - queen size bed and its own bathroom, with access out to the pool.
    Second bedroom - queen size bed with access to the pool area as well.
    Third bedroom - 2 twin size beds.
    The second full bathroom is between the second and third bedrooms. All bedrooms have closets as well as TVs.

    THE BACKYARD
    The large sliding glass doors in the main space lead to the true Pura Vida backyard oasis. Enjoy a cup of coffee poolside at the bistro set, or a family BBQ with the outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, bar, fire pit and outdoor bathroom. The shed next to the outdoor kitchen comes stocked with beach and pool supplies.

    HEATED POOL
    The pool is heated November through April and set to 82 degrees, free of charge. On cooler days the water can drop into the 70s depending on the outside air temperature.

    GOOD TO KNOW
    The driveway fits 4 vehicles. Pura Vida is in a quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood, so please keep the noise to a minimum from 10PM to 8AM.

Everything we needed

This home had everything we needed, from a stocked kitchen to the best outside area you could ask for. The living quarters inside was a tad on the small side but plenty of room to relax outside. The owner was very easy to reach and communicate with.

Our stay was completely outstanding and stress free. Your home was impeccably clean, well stocked,and a seamless check in process. We greatly appreciated your efficient communication and superb location providing easy access to all major attractions and amenities including Universal, Disney (approximately 1 hour drive), beaches with in 12 minutes and stores like Walmart and Publix in 5 minutes. The outdoor area was another great feature for the family to enjoy unwinding and relaxing. The pool was cleaned twice during our stay which I appreciated greatly. A minor suggestion for future consideration is possibly a refresh of the landscape to continue the vacation vibes you’ve curated for the rest of the home. We depart with great cherished memories and look forward to the opportunity to return in the future to this outstanding property. Thank you for your great hospitality experience for me and my family.

Family Vacation

Home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay, the backyard area was amazing. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who would ask. Only recommendations I would have would be to replace the queen bed in the extra bedroom as it was like plywood, but not a big deal. The other recommendation would be to have the pool cleaned more often, it was useable but definitely needed cleaned, not a big deal for our family, but a Karen would definitely complain! Id give the house a 10/10.

A little piece of paradise

This little charming beach cottage was perfect for our family of 7. There was plenty of space to where we did not feel cramped and the outdoor living space was wonderful. The outdoors bathroom came in handy for my daughter and our little 11 year old granddaughter. They shower outdoors daily. The home was well supplied with all we needed and the bath soap, shampoo and conditioner was a huge hit with my family, to the point none of us used what we brought but used what was supplied as we like the products so much. The host, Luke was so kind and easy to work with, he even allowed us to check in way before time. Parking was a breeze for 2 vehicles. Don’t let some of the homes in the neighborhood that are as kept up fool you, most are elderly that can no longer care for their property. The neighborhood was really quiet and we felt safe. We will rebook the property in the future for our visits to Cocoa beach. We truly enjoyed the not over crowded beaches. There are so many restaurants near by but I must say that Squid lips was our favorite. I also highly recommend driving to Titusville to eat at Dixie Crossroads and Shilos. You won’t regret booking Pura Vida!!
