If you want to have top notch with house, restaurants, golf carts and swimming pool with options to enjoy all Port Aransas look no further. Palmilla is one stop for all fun. I will add golf on my next stay.

Enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay overall! This was a nice property and had a great location to the pool and fitness center. I think it would be helpful to have keyless access on the back door at the top of the stairs in addition to the front door.

Beautiful Stay at The Sand Trap

We had the best time at this lovely beach home. It was spacious, clean, and loved all the balconies. They have just about anything you need to cook a great meal too - which was a plus! Close to the pool and beach. Palmilla was a great distance from Port A restaurants and loved the gas fireplace outside.
