Our stay at Pura Vida

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Pura Vida. We were impressed by the renovations done over the summer. All the improvements made, especially the shower in the primary bedroom, made our time in the cottage comfortable and enjoyable. The only problem we had, and it might be because we are two old people with limited technology skills, was trying to use the TVs.Even so, we would still recommend making Pura Vida your home away from home when at Tybee.

Great Tybee Trip

Pura Vida was just as advertised and was perfect for our family of four. The location was convenient to the beach, the grocery store and shops and restaurants. We had a great time and only wish we could have stayed another week. The staff at Mermaid Cottages were outstanding.

Everything about our stay was outstanding.

The property is in a fantastic location. Close to walk to beach, grocery store, shops and restaurants but maintained just enough distance for privacy, peace and quiet. The property was clean, neat and check in was easy. The property manager was always available and a joy to work with. We also have a small dog and the fenced yard was perfect for her. We loved our stay.

Great time at the beach!

Our family of four (+ dog) had a great stay at Pura Vida. The size was perfect for us, it was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the cookware we needed. The location can't be beat—just a short walk to the beach and restaurants, while still being in a quiet neighborhood. And Tammy from Mermaid Cottages took great care of us. Highly recommended!
