Great Home
The furniture, beds, and design of the house was very comfortable, and perfect for our group of 8. The beds are so comfortable. We loved how it was a 5 minute walk to the beach, a 2 minute drive, and was 30 seconds from the golf course. Will definitely come back to smiles and smores next summer!

Great Stay!
Smiles and Smores was a great property for my family! The beds were super comfy and the condo had everything we needed. When we got there the advertised grill was gone and I needed one for the week, Vacasa had one to us the next morning which we really appreciated. Palmilla is a great resort! Would stay again for sure.

Relaxing Stay in a Great Location!
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful unit! The space was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like a true home. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and every detail was taken care of to ensure a relaxing visit. One of the best parts was the location—just a short and easy walk to the Agave Pool, which made it super convenient for us to get a quick swim in. The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, well-maintained and friendly.

A little slice of Heaven!
This is the best home I've stayed in while visiting Port Aransas! It is gorgeous inside with a very luxury feel! We felt pampered while at the beach! It was so clean, the decor is beautiful, and it had all of the necessary amenities! It's a close walk to the beach, and just felt like a little slice of Heaven! I would 100% recommend staying here! :)
