  • Enjoy stunning views of the Gulf from nearly every room! This luxury 3BR/2BA Palmilla Resort condo features all new construction plus direct access to a boardwalk to the beach, two shimmering shared pools that are heated during winter months, and on-site dining. Stylish furnishings inside and plenty of stunning details -- 10' ceilings, contemporary tile floors, chrome fixtures, and stainless steel appliances. You'll also love the blackout shades in each bedroom. You're steps to everything you could ever want at the resort, and Port Aransas' excellent shops, eateries, and fishing spots are a quick drive away. INSIDE THE CONDO The gorgeous, window-lined living area features a sofa and sweeping views of the Gulf and resort grounds. This space opens to the kitchen, which is immaculate with granite counters, stainless appliances, Chef's cooktop, and built-in convection plus wall oven. Light pours into the master suite, featuring a king bed and access to the breezy deck. The en-suite bathroom has a garden tub, double vanity, a tiled shower with glass doors, and a water closet. The second bedroom has a king bed, while the third bedroom has two twin beds. Enjoy Gulf views from both bedrooms. The guest bath is in the hall and features a shower/tub combination.

October Stay

This unit was lovely--it looked just like the photos, which is always a plus. Comfortable beds, furniture, etc. and plenty of kitchen items. The beautiful view of the dunes (and a sliver of the Gulf) from the porch was still the same as the photos in Fall '23, but with the empty lots across the street now sold, I suspect that'll change within a year. As beautiful as the unit was, it had some issues. A towel holder in the primary bathroom was broken, the water pressure in both showers was very light, and the lint tray in the dryer wouldn't fit properly in its slot, which made the clothes catch on it and twist around each other while drying. (We suspect the lint tray was packed with sand at the bottom--something we've experienced with other rentals.) We reported it all to Vacasa, the company that manages the property, and while responsive, they made it clear that they were the main headquarters and would need to contact a "local" rep to have anything repaired, etc. We opted out because we could live with these issues for our short stay, but the number of problems was annoying. We were there over a long weekend in the early fall, so it was relatively quiet. During the height of the season, we could see it being a lot louder, especially with all of the building still happening in Palmilla.

Fabulous Condo

Absolutely beautiful! We love the location, amenities, golf, and overall community. We have stayed at Palmilla before and will continue to do so. It’s the only community on the island that I would ever consider buying a home, cottage, condo at.

Beautiful condo

This is a beautiful condo and very well maintained. We loved the pool, golf and beach. Renting a golf cart was a great suggestion, and made bringing beach towels (included with the condo) an added bonus! We will definitely return. A perfect place to get-a-way!

This condo is perfect. We are a family of 6 and the condo was very comfortable for all of us. Can't beat the location for golf, pool and the beach and our kids were very excited to rent a golf cart. It's beautifully decorated, clean, and convenient. We have stayed in Port Aransas on numerous occasions and would absolutely rent this property again. Thanks for a great stay!!
