Beautifully designed with nautical charm, Starfish Cottage pairs a standout chef’s kitchen with inviting living spaces and water views. This four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom coastal home offers room for family and friends to gather, unwind, and enjoy a relaxed Port Aransas getaway.

The chef’s kitchen takes center stage with stainless steel appliances, gleaming countertops, generous prep space, and a wine fridge ready for your favorite bottles. The main floor’s open layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, keeping everyone part of the conversation. After dinner, settle into the comfortable living room and stream your favorite shows on the large Smart TV.

Coastal décor brings personality throughout the home, including the welcoming primary suite with direct outdoor access. Its en suite bathroom features an oversized vanity and walk-in shower. TVs in each bedroom, central air conditioning, and a private washer/dryer add comfort and convenience throughout your stay.

Outside, the expansive balcony provides an inviting setting for dining alfresco and taking in the water views. Start the day with coffee in the coastal breeze or gather for a leisurely dinner after an afternoon at the beach.

Enjoy access to Palmilla Beach Resort’s two resort-style pools, heated during the winter season, and a designated beach area with food service and air-conditioned restrooms. During the summer, poolside cabanas, golf carts, beach chairs, and umbrellas are available to rent through Guest Services.

Annual family beach trip

The Starfish Cottage is amazing! Clean and stocked with everything we needed! So close to the boardwalk and not too far from the pool! The interior design of the house is very well done and the beds are super comfortable. The only negative thing to report was the massive amount of mosquitoes on the entire property. I’ve never experienced anything like that. I am hoping it was just bad timing and not a common occurrence! We will back!!!
