Coastal Happy Ours was our happy spot!
Coastal Happy Ours was definitely a happy spot for our beach vacation! From the moment you walk into this spotless home, the attention to detail is evident in every room. Each room had a TV on with beach sounds, which was a wonderful greeting after a long drive! The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked with pots, pans, plates, and glasses. Everything you need for cooking family meals is available—it even has a Ninja blender, which we loved for our morning smoothies. The dining table was huge and easily accommodated all of us, and extra seating was available at the bar right next to it. The bedding in the house is outstanding—everyone commented on the comfort of the mattresses, even the kids in the bunkroom! The pillows are great and hypoallergenic. Each room had its own bathroom with toiletries provided as well as hairdryers. The towels were luxurious, and plenty were provided. The outdoor living space was amazing! We enjoyed sitting out there in the morning with our coffee and watching the kids play. The extra lighting at night made it a perfect place for relaxing in the evening after the kids were in bed. The outdoor shower was an extra touch we loved after a day at the beach! The community has two pools, and both are an easy 3-5 minute walk from the house. They were an excellent option for us when the babies were napping, as we could easily walk over with the older kids to entertain them. Both pools offer a large selection of food and drinks as well. The beach is just a short walk over the boardwalk. While beach chair and umbrella rentals are available through the neighborhood, the house itself has tons of high-quality beach chairs available for your use—we loved the ones that we could take close to the water and have the waves wash over our feet! There are many beach toys available for use as well. An extra touch in the garage was the commercial ice machine! We loved it for our beach water bottles and coolers. We also rented a golf cart for the week, and the home made it incredibly easy to park overnight. It was perfect for zipping over to the pools and hauling our gear down to the beach We will definitely be back!

This perfectly appointed home was perfect for our 4 families! We loved that the kitchen/dining/living room was one big space downstairs for the group to congregate, with majority rooms upstairs. In addition to the “open concept” floor plan, we were thrilled to have one of the primary rooms also on the first floor for my elderly father, who can’t take the stairs. Everything from the beautiful decorations to beach toys and chairs, outside area for kids to play, kitchen accessories, book of recommendations (places to eat, shop) we felt right at home and can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

We had a wonderful stay at the Coastal Happy Ours house! It was perfect for two sets of grandparents and two couples with three children ages 6 to 1 years. The house was two stories with one master bedroom on the first floor with the kitchen and living area. This was nice for one of the grandparents with bad knees. There was a garage with lots of beach toys, beach chairs, boogie boards, two bikes for riding, and an ice machine (ice machine was used every day and a wonderful amenity). The 2nd floor had the 2nd master bedroom (with huge closet that doubled as the room for the one year old to sleep in), small living area with bunk room off of it, and bathroom for the bunk room, two other bedrooms with bathrooms and queen beds. Great patios upstairs and downstairs. We used the grill on the downstairs patio almost every night. Thank you for a wonderful house that was perfect for our family vacation! The

187 Saltgrass - A Perfect Beach Getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at 187 Saltgrass! The home is beautiful with stunning décor and a cozy, welcoming ambiance. Everything was extremely clean and well-organized, which made settling in so easy and enjoyable. The location is fantastic—right near the beach, yet just far enough from the crowds and shops to provide a peaceful and relaxing beach experience. At the same time, it's close enough for a quick trip to local dining and shopping options. There are even a few options on site. We also really enjoyed the two pools on the property—both were well-maintained and perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. Another huge plus is the easy access to the boat ramp and rentable slips directly across the highway, which was super convenient. We definitely plan to stay here again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch Port A vacation spot!

Coastal Happy Ours was Perfect for our Damily Reunion Weekend
Coastal Happy Ours was perfect for our family reunion weekend. We had a total of 12 adults which include 4 college aged boys and the only negative was that the bunk room beds were small for college—aged kids but would be perfect for the smaller ones. We were especially impressed with the furnishings and it was everyone’s favorite home of the 3 we had rented as the others were sparsely equipped while this house had everything you could possibly need including a commercial ice maker and amazing margaritaville margarita machine. We appreciated the generous amounts of extras such as the welcome Yeti gift, the cruiser bikes, amazing beach gear, and use of the full garage.

Simply the BEST!!
Aside from the fact that Port Aransas is a beautiful place to experience the Gulf Coast, this home is EVERYTHING that you could want in a rental. I tend to be a picky traveler, so when I say that this place was spotless and that every detail was attended to, it's true. I really wouldn't know what they could improve upon. The home is spacious ... five of us there, but there could've been several more. It was in immaculate condition upon arrival. The decks off a couple of the bedrooms were wonderful (I spent the early morning hours there). The kitchen had everything that you needed and more (and we did some serious cooking). The family room / TV area was perfect for the World Series (very spacious) and the patio was perfect for late evenings and well protect from any breezes. And it's deceivingly close to a really nice beach. The attention to detail is everywhere. Example: instead of trying to figure out which light switch controls which light, they are all accurately labeled. Renting this place is an absolute no-brainer: DO IT!!!

It’s All In The Details…
Coastal Happy Hours’ owners have created a frills-loaded, details-oriented, packed with everything-you’ll-need and things-you-didn’t-think-to-bring oasis. We’ve stayed in other Palmilla Beach homes and can directly compare, let me explain: The kitchen gear - everything you’ll need and then some. From teapots to keurig to cooking sets - everything is organized neatly and equipment is stocked fully. No “I have one pan and 3 sets of utensils”. The hand soap across the house is upscale like you probably have at home, rather than dawn dish soap or little motel packets like another location. There is a big welcome basket with goodies when you walk in the door. There is an extensive binder with all the restaurants and coffee shops and where to go and what to do. The grill was clean and the propane tank was full - and there were two extra propane tanks in the garage. The garage also had some fishing poles, a corn hole platform, cooler, beach chairs…and everything neatly placed and labeled. In the garage, in the kitchen. I mention this because during our stay the beach chairs and umbrella for rent with Palmilla would fill up. People were being turned down. Local spots had run out of chairs to sell. So of course - the owners included backup chairs just in case. The other house I stayed at - the propane tank was empty and there were no backups. The garage was off limits - locked up and full of the owners stuff. It’s little thoughtful details like these that make this specific location hassle-free, and you can literally feel the thoughtfulness and pride the owners have taken to make sure your stay is well worth it. We highly recommend!!!

Best Family Getaway!
The place was immaculately clean with the best aesthetics in decor. Our family had a wonderful time at the beach, and it was a great place to decompress. The BEST feature of this place was the use of a PRIVATE ice machine located on the property. I can say hands-down that I have never seen this feature in an Airbnb or VRBO property before. We were able to fill our ice chest that we took to the beach along with making the best frozen drinks. When you have a large family, resort-priced adult beverages can get quite expensive. We loved our location too! It was within walking distance to both pools! Needless to say, we will be back! 👏🏻🏖️

Great vacation home!
What an amazing vacation home! Talk about home away from home! This house is beautifully decorated yet very comfortable for a vacation with friends or family! We had plenty of room to spread out and the "common areas" are perfectly sized. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to cook in if you choose. If you want to dine out, check out the restaurant on the premise - you won't be disappointed! The beach is a short walk - golf carts are also available on site for rental if you choose to do that. When you need a break from the beach, check out the 2 pools! We will definitely stay here again!

This house is perfect!
We have stayed in many homes at Palmilla and this one was by far the best. The layout was perfect for our group. We had a total of 9 people staying here and everyone slept comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The ice machine in the garage was a game changer! We loved everything about the home and can't wait to come back. If you are thinking about staying here, do it. You won't regret it!

Best stay in Port Aransas
We loved the house! Beautifully furnished and very clean. Beds quite comfortable and ample room for everybody. The house was equipped with everything we needed, including a large ice machine in the garage. Great location, easy walk or golf cart ride to the beach and close to both pools. Nice to be in Port A. during the off season. We will definitely be back in the summer and hope to be able to stay here again.

Port A Pad
We really enjoyed our stay here in September. The house was exceptionally well appointed and clean. All rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen had all the tools needed to cook our meals. The house is located close to the beach, even closer to the community pool (which was a blast). We will gladly return to this Port A pad!

Amazing Rental
Family/friends get together by the ocean always recharges our batteries. The description/pictures do not do justice to how nice and spacious the home is. This rental is immaculate, so well organized, and more than we expected. There is nothing the hosts have left out. Everything is in its place and so easy to find. You are immediately welcomed with a gift basket and a binder with rental info, local restaurant, and shopping info, as well as important phone numbers. Short distance to the beach (rental golf carts available if you’d like). This home has an extra ice maker in the garage – perfect for those beach/fishing coolers. Simply peaceful and relaxing. Our stay was in November, can’t wait to go back in the summertime.

Great Family Vacation at a great home
Stunning Stargrass was the perfect home for our annual family vacation. Not only is the home beautifully decorated, there are amazing and thoughtful touches that made the place feel like a luxury resort. We were greeted with the cutest gift basket and a personal note. Each bathroom plenty of towels, soap and toilet paper for our weeks stay. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled and included a coffee grinder brewer, a crock pot, blender, electric wok and griddle. There was plenty of outdoor comfortable seating, beach towels and beach chairs. The dining room table fit all 12 of us comfortably. Easy walk to the pool and beach. Don’t hesitate to rent this beautiful home!

Beach House Paradise
This place was awesome. Super clean - immaculate. Really convenient to beach. All new furnishings, loved the towel service and the quality of the towels, TV in every room, and a nice patio with great beach furniture and a brand new Weber. Kitchen and kitchen table are really large and well furnished for cooking and socializing. Having an ice machine is a huge bonus especially for going to the beach. The thank you basket was a really nice surprise. The 2nd master bedroom upstairs is quite large with a very big shower. The pool is really close. It's obvious the owners take great pride in decorating and keeping the place in tip top condition. We will be back.
