Testimonials
(I recently changed the store name from Pura Vida Home Decor to Pura Vida Home and Gift.)
Daren with Pura Vida Home Decor is a true professional and gives unparalleled customer service. He offers his customers great quality at competitive prices and is willing to go the extra mile to provide custom orders while still offering his customers an extremely competitive and affordable price. Every home is a different shape and size and often standard rug sizes do not complement the spaces as well as a customized product. Daren is the only retailer that offered to check into getting a custom sized vinyl rug made for my space with an unbelievably quick turnaround time. He constantly provides you with communication regarding your order and the level of care he provided for what I would consider a relatively small order was an unexpected surprise. I recently remodeled my house and even retailers with whom I had spent many thousands of dollars did not show the concern and professionalism that Daren provided. THANK YOU Daren! I will definitely be shopping with you again in the future.

My vinyl cloth is in and is already a welcome change from the water
(and germ!) hog rug I had in place before it. Your suggestion to order a longer size to come past the dishwasher was brilliant, too! I’m very happy with the design, too, as I feel it adds interest and makes a statement without overwhelming the space or being too bold. I like the wood look very much! Thank you again for your help! ~ Amy
I got the rugs!!! I am so very, very happy with them. They are vibrant in color and design. I can barely wait to get home and lay them DOWN!!! Thank you for helping me get this done. ~ Ann , Beverly Hills
"Just wanted you to know that I received the "rug" and I LOVE it!!! Thank you for the excellent service." ~ Cheryl, MS
"Just wanted to let you know how very happy I am with our new vinyl floor cloth. It arrived ahead of schedule, looks lovely in our kitchen, and is so easy to clean. Being able to reach you on the phone and ask questions about the product made a big difference in my ultimate satisfaction. I will use your store again, because you over delivered on several levels. Thanks for the great product and customer service."~ Christine, NC
"The four vinyl clothes arrived this morning; they are perfect in every respect! Each is just as I had imagined it in its selected location and each area is greatly enhanced by the new addition. Your excellent website allowed us to make our choices as if we were standing in person in a showroom. Thanks again for your professional help. Toni ~ Ohio
"Pura Vida Home Decor turned me on to some really unique products I'd never seen. Beyond that, Daren was extremely helpful and provided that old fashioned customer service that you'll never get from larger stores or corporate settings. It's so refreshing in this age to find such a well curated store (and online store) with the care and follow through of an owner who really cares. I highly recommend checking out what Pura Vida Home Decor has going on... " ~Nico Georis, Owner of 'Barmel' in Carmel, CA
It was an absolute pleasure buying from you Daren! You were efficient and honest and I felt totally safe buying from you dispite being on the other side of the world.. Our floor not only looks fantastic and beautiful but it's a really strong and an easily cleanable material... Couldn't be happier! Thanks again for all your patient correspondence! ~Ana, Australia
I was searching online for a 50th wedding anniversary gift. A friend of mine for over 20 (cough cough) years had recently opened up his own home furnishings store in Boston called Pura Vida Home Decor. I decided to visit his store’s website and take a look. I was blown away at how many beautiful, eclectic, one of a kind pieces were available at the store. After some perusing, I came across a beautiful vase called the Danish Vase. It was perfect for what I was looking for. I purchased the vase online – the process was very easy and quick. The vase was shipped directly to the couple I had purchased it for. It arrived right on time and they absolutely loved the vase. I highly recommend anyone looking for home décor gifts to visit Pura Vida Home Décor. ~Chuck, GA
We are loving the vinyl floor mat. It stays flat, doesn't roll up on the edges, washes well & looks fabulous. I would highly recommend it to anyone. They just need to keep in mind it is thin & not padded, but that's exactly what I needed for under my kitchen table. Gail ~ Needham, MA
Thank you so much. It has been a pleasure working with you. I wish you lots of business in Needham and hope that the local neighbors support you as well.... ~Ronna, Needham
Just wanted to pass along a thank you for helping me get these prints. I received them last week and love them. I'll be keeping an eye on your website for more cool stuff. ~ Chris, MI
We love the floor mat. It looks great under my husband’s desk chair, and I think it will be perfect for protecting the wood floors. ~Rebecca, CO
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with my order - especially your willingness to agree to the exchange. I received the mat last week and I love it. Thank you again - I have been so impressed with the quality of your product as well as your customer service. Your company is A+ in my book! ~Jill, VA
I received the (vinyl floor cloth) runners and they look great! Thanks for your timely communications. It was a pleasure doing business with you. ~Margret, KS
"Just a note to let you know that the mirror arrived today and it looks fantastic! We are so pleased with it.Thank you for keeping track of it and for keeping me up to date. I'm sure you'll be seeing us again in the future." ~Marjorie, Plymouth, MA
"This place is great! So many fantastic items that are reasonably priced and make great gifts for others (or yourself.) I'd love to furnish my whole house from this store!" ~Lance, West Roxbury
"Just a note to let you know that we received our order and everything arrived in good shape. We are also very happy with the stools - they are beautiful! We will keep you guys in mind for any future home decor needs." ~Carolina, OH
I have been looking for linoleum rugs ever since I saw some beautiful ones in a Turkish restaurant. It seemed like the perfect solution for my living room-- because my dear elderly dogs have ruined my good rugs. Well, the one I bought is PERFECT and I plan to get a bigger one now for in front of my sofa. Thank you! ~LH, Boston
"Daren, I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that April and I were delighted to discover your store and to meet you on Saturday. We are probably going to get into a lot of trouble in your place, but we love everything about it and what you are doing for local artisans." We're crazy about the aluminum and wood table we bought, and the barrel stave stool is perfect for our space..." ~Pepper, Chelsea, MA
"If you're looking for a hidden jewel, Pura Vida is the place for you. I didn't expect to find such a treasure hidden in a revitalized factory building from days gone bye in Charlestown. The showroom is spectacular and offers surprisingly affordable gems for your home around every corner. I've been back a couple of times, and each time I find something new and exciting." ~Gabe, West Roxbury
"Thank you for adding a personal touch to the online experience. It's nice to know there is someone genuine on the other end. It's been a pleasure doing business with you." ~Susan, CA
The mirror arrived in perfect condition and is already hung in our bathroom! It really is beautiful and was worth the wait! Thanks again for your excellent customer service! I wish you the best of luck with your business! ~Missy, Natick, MA
Thanks so much for all your help and expediting the order. I couldn't be happier w the results and everyone who has seen the
room is awed. The floor cloth totally makes the look. ~Georgie, NY
The item arrived well packed and safe. Thank you for being on the other side of this issue - felt good to know we
were not forgotten :-) My husband loved it :-) ~Oris, NC
