Beautiful Place
We had an amazing stay here. It was very clean and more spacious than the photos let on. My kids loved the bunks and we liked that they had a separate place to hang out while the adults were downstairs. The site management was very responsive and informative. We felt well cared. for during our stay. The unit is easy walking to both pools. The one suggestion, bring bug spray. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Stay at the Wild Octopus
We loved our stay at The Wild Octopus! Upon arrival it was clean, there were plenty of towels in the bathrooms plus towels for the pool. There was ample space for parking cars, golf carts and space in the garage for our beach gear. We felt comfortable in the house and had plenty of space to relax. The location was great, halfway between both pools with easy access to the dock. We will definitely stay here again.

WE LOVED THE WILD OCTOPUS!
We absolutely loved this home! We had two families and had plenty of rooms for all of us to have our own space! We loved that there were two king size beds with their own bathrooms! The kids loved the upstairs where there were four bunk beds and an extra room with a queen size bed! My 19 year old and my 14 year old loved this area! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We also loved having access to the garage! We were so close to everything! We can't wait for the Oasis to be finished so that we can enjoy it on our next trip! The only thing I can think that wasn't good was that we had to leave a day early because my granddaughter got sick. But that wasn't by fault of the Wild Octopus! :) Overall, it was a FABULOUS VACATION!! THANK YOU!

A review of a condo at Palmilla Resort
I would certainly recommend this property. We had a 3 bedroom, 3 bath which gave us plenty of room and privacy. The condo was well appointed and equipped and very clean. It was well maintained.
Our only complaint was that lconstruction was taking place the entire time beginning at 7 am even on Saturday and Sunday. It made the front balcony unusable. The backup noise on the trucks was very loud.
Beach access was good and rental of umbrellas was easy. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

A-plus rental, B-plus city
This house is large and clean. Pictures are accurate. Thoughtful amenities such as high chair, activity gym for the baby, books, drying rack and plenty of toiletry/kitchen items. We cooked a couple of meals in the house and it was nice. The kitchen is fully stocked. The pool was heated and a short walk away. The beach was just ok. Wet sand and choppy waters. Golf course was good for seasoned golfers. The only disappointment were the onsite restaurants and the city of Port Aransas. Finding dinner was a big hassle. On-site restaurants weren`t opened on weekdays. We were turned away when we showed up to Black Marlin on Friday at 8pm for dinner. Reds was overcrowded and no seating available. Most restaurants in the city are closed by 9 so forget about late-night eats unless you want fast food.
