About this property

Sunrise At Anchor | Water Views | Steps to Beach

Look no further than this incredibly perfect getaway in Port Aransas! You'll be conveniently located in the heart of the Palmilla Beach Resort and Golf Community where you can rest up and relax or enjoy a game of golf. Sunrise at Anchor is in the prime location within the Palmilla community, sitting only 100 yards from restaurants, bars, and golf clubhouse and also just a short walk to the Whispering Dunes Crossover for beach access. The back patio overlooks Palm Plaza, a beautiful lawn, perfect for a picnic, or game of frisbee, or catching a live music performance. Be sure to check our calendar for special performances. The front patio even has peek-a-boo views of the Gulf of Mexico. Inside this coastal chic casita, you'll find two stories of serenity, from the spaciousness of the living area to the full island kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. Start your morning off right with a cup of hot coffee, then sit on the back or front patio to breathe in the coastal air. Two elegant resort-style pools that are heated during our winter season await you and your friends for a calming swim. Enjoy poolside dining and full bar service in your swimsuit! And, of course, the beach is just a stroll over the boardwalk. End your evening with a movie marathon on the 65-inch smart TV.

Great Family Vacation Spot

Enjoyed our little family vacation at sunrise at anchor! House had everything our family of six needed. Stocked kitchen and comfortable living and sleeping areas. Bathrooms were clean and well designed. The kitchen and living area with sleeper sofa was upstairs and the two balconies allowed for ample lounging. We used the outdoor shower after our trips to the beach and the location was great. Short walk to the boardwalk or five minute drive in our rented golf cart. This resort is well designed and the oasis pool was a hit with adults and kids. Lots of shade and the swim up bar was a treat. Would definitely come again!

The property was in a perfect location. The amount of space for our family of 4 was great.Communication with property management was not what we expected. We asked for extra hand towels, bath mats and extra blankets 2 days in a row and didn’t receive them. The master bedroom had a rug in the bed as a blanket. The 2nd bedroom had no blanket, just a sleet like coverlet. There was also no kitchen towels for baking mitts for pulling hot things out of microwave or oven - We had to use bathroom wash cloths. I think for the amount of money we paid, these are things that should be available.I lived the community and will be back, but will make sure not to rent this property in the furture.

We absolutely loved this beach house! The location was perfect — super close to the beach, Mustang Island, and Port A. The house itself was beautiful, super clean, and had everything we needed. The beds were cozy, the AC was nice and cold, and it just felt really comfortable and homey. We spent a ton of time on the patio watching the sunsets and sunrises — you can even see the ships coming into port, which was so cool. We had the best time and this place definitely made our vacation extra special. Highly recommend!

Great house with a clean beach

The house has is compact and comfy. Comfortable beds. Stocked with nice amenities. The Palmilla beach was cleared of all seaweed which is a BIG BONUS. I will return to Palmilla again during seaweed season.

Wonderful experience

This marks our third visit to this location, and once again, it has exceeded our expectations. The pools are exceptional, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and fun. The restaurants are equally impressive, providing a variety of delicious options. The convenience of having everything within walking distance adds to the overall appeal. It's truly a phenomenal place to stay.

Spring break

Great house close to the beach. House is well furnished. It was a little bit smaller than I expected but that was OK. Our families loved it along with all the amenities offered. My husband played golf there and said it was some of the best greens he had ever played. We would definitely return and again. Stayed

Sunrise at Anchor

We enjoyed our stay at Sunrise at Anchor. The beds were comfortable and we liked that the kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook dinner. The coffee machine was fun to use in the morning. We also liked how the location of the vacation home was close enough to the Black Marlin and we were also able to see the water from the 2nd floor. Having a private walkway to the beach was very nice. We also got to enjoy the pool and gym.

Please refer to my comments up top.

The house was very clean and lovely and located in a great spot. However, the air conditioning went out and even though a technician did come out to look at it the temperature never went below 74 which resulted in muggy nights.
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 4, 2025
Hello Ross, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m truly sorry to hear that the air conditioning wasn’t cooling below 74 degrees during your stay—that must have been uncomfortable. I appreciate your patience while our technician visited the home and resolved the thermostat issue by changing the battery. We’re glad to hear that this helped improve the situation. Your comfort is very important to us, and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. If there’s anything else we can do to make your future stays more enjoyable, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Honestly, the place was lovely! I would absolutely stay here again. It was wonderful for our little family. Our son has autism and can be a bit of a flight risk, so we brought along some travel friendly door locks, as there are doors that lead outside in both rooms. The beds are sooo comfortable. I wish we would’ve had access to a broom or vacuum cleaner, though. There is an outdoor shower which is so nice and helps to keep from tracking sand all over the place. Also, use the boardwalk walk-up if you stay here. It’s much faster than using the street access. Our son LOVED the pool. This unit is closest to the swim-up bar pool. Our only gripe is that on our last day the AC stopped working. I unfortunately was messaging/calling with the property company (which is through the resort so you do have to deal with a lot of AI responses, although I did finally get in touch with an actual person). I stayed up for several hours and finally emergency repair guy came and fixed the AC. I’m sure the problem would’ve been solved faster had it not been at night, but it did make for a frustrating last night. Overall, though, our son loved the house and we were so comfortable there. Great location, great house, and close in proximity to the beach.
