Floating Villas

A “floating” vacation on my 62 x 14 ft Summerset floating villa offering comforts of home while gazing at the ever changing waterscape. Boats of all sizes and descriptions plus dolphins will pass by your front porch all day long. If you’re seeking an experience, something different, but in a tranquil relaxing more private setting, you found it. Pura Vida will stay at dock during stay, will not leave dock.

 The space

Park right next to Pura Vida, my one bedroom floating villa. Steps down to the dock and a few more steps down to enter onto your covered front porch (bow) with direct water view. Have your morning coffee, dine or just relax in your recliner while watching nature, dolphins and the myriad of boats pass by. The boat will slightly sway once in awhile, which I find soothing. Don’t forget to waive, as boaters are a very friendly lot. Located in the best spot in the marina with direct waterfront view and no boats in front or either side of you. You are on the Indian River lagoon between the Indian River (Intercoastal waterway) and the Banana River. Space Coast rocket launches right in front of the bow. Boats entering or leaving the marina will pass you by on your starboard (right) side.

Step into your very comfortable living room and (hopefully) smile at my boho / vintage / contemporary vibes. Sofa is a brand new queen sleeper. Dining area sitting four directly across from your full kitchen with a four burner gas range, full size fridge/freezer and new quartz counter tops. No dishwasher, but if more than two of you, try paper/plastic plates. All new flooring, paint, ceiling fan, counter tops and window blinds. If you have to work, cubby around the corner with desk/chair. Small but sufficient bath, but try hard not to drop the soap in shower, as it’s the same size as a typical RV shower. As we are a boat, we provide marine grade toilet tissue throughout your stay. Please don’t use any other. Few more steps into your private bedroom with queen bed and and a makeup table or second work area. Small combo washer/dryer in a closet, but recommend very small loads or clothes will look wrinkly, but I do provide a small handheld steamer, if needed. Glass door leading out to your rear covered porch (stern) with a small bistro table and two chairs for when you want to feel part of the marina.

Climb the stairs to your second covered living room with two sofas, chairs, and a 55″ Smart TV. If you want more privacy, drop down the Isinglass, which also keeps wind out for cooler days. Want a tan, step out to the open area for relaxing on the two loungers and catch some rays. Be sure to come down the stairs same way you go up; face the steps. There are a few walls with “wrinkly” areas, which will be replaced in the spring. The marina is not part of the resort, so there is no access to the resort’s pool or clubhouse. I think you will find that staying on Pura Vida will be a very fun, unique and rewarding experience.

 Guest access

The entire floating home. Short and long term stays allowed.

Other things to note

For the safety of toddlers and small children, I don’t recommend, unless you are watching constantly. Too easy for them to fall overboard. Unfortunately, my boat can not accommodate a wheel chair. Enjoy the entire houseboat except the basement for my storage.

*Disclaimer – Boats stay on dock and do not move
