Mila's Retreat | 5-Bedroom House | 5.5 Bathrooms | Resort Views | Resort Amenities

Relax in seaside splendor at this gorgeous Palmilla Resort home! Just a short drive from downtown Port Aransas and steps from the shore, this beautiful five-bedroom is the perfect place to treat family and friends to an unforgettable getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast. Experience stunning sunsets and sunrises from one of two private decks or relax inside beneath the cooling comfort of central AC. When everybody is ready to hit the beach, on-site access will have you touching sand in no time. Don't forget to grab the beach chairs provided! An outdoor shower adds convenience during your stay. A bright, open-concept main floor layout greets guests inside with recent updates and elegant, high-end décor. For downtime during the day or family movies in the evening, the plush living room sectional and huge, wall-mounted smart TV are ready to provide comfort and entertainment. An expansive dining table divides the living room and kitchen. With place settings for 12, the entire household can enjoy group and family-style meals together. Teeming with attractive finishes and updates appliances, the impressive, full-size kitchen is the envy of most homes. Chefs in the group will find all the cookware, counter space, and utensils needed to prepare fabulous home meals. No need to spend your vacation on cleanup - the dishwasher can take care of that. A private patio can be accessed off the dining area. An equipped gas grill and outdoor picnic table will be a group favorite for beachside cookouts. The main floor primary suite can be found just past the kitchen, complete with an en suite bathroom, wall-mounted smart TV, and private entry to/from the patio. A shared, half-bath is available at the foot of the stairs for common household convenience. Heading to the second floor, you'll find the laundry closet just at the top of the stairs. To the right, a guest suite includes an attached bathroom, wall-mounted smart TV and sitting area, and a private balcony. To the left of the stairs, a small common area includes a loveseat sofa. A sliding, barn-style door opens up to the bonus bunk room. A full bathroom, and two additional guest suites are down the hall. Each of these bedrooms features an attached bath, wall-mounted smart TVs, and private access to a shared balcony. As an added bonus, guests will enjoy access to Palmilla Resorts' gorgeous, two shared pools that are heated during our winter, complete with covered dining areas and poolside cabanas.

We took our family to Milas Retreat for Mother’s Day and we will never stay anywhere else! Every room has a crisp, cozy feeling that makes you feel right at home. The fact that every room has their own restroom is such a huge win for our family with kids. The house is equipped with everything you need to either stay in or on the go! We didn’t need to bring any chairs, ice chest, Or boogie boards which helped us save so much trunk space. Everything is labeled and easy to find. Can’t wait to go back end of summer!

Amazing!
We originally had a condo booked and received a notification the night before our trip that the reservation had been cancelled due to maintenance issues. Luckily VACASA had already searched the resort and provided an alternate rental for us. Staying here was definitely a treat and an upgrade to what we had originally booked. VACASA definitely made it right. The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We grilled one night for dinner and ate breakfast and lunch at the house each day. The house also came with the following beach items: 2 beach chairs, a canopy/beach tent, and some sand toys. We left our sand toys and a few nets as well for other kiddos to enjoy! Only con was related to the staff and has nothing to do with the house itself so I won't get into that here but 100% recommend this wonderful house!

Mila's Retreat is absolutely gorgeous! It had everything you could ever want or need in a beach/vacation house. I have stayed at several beach houses in Port A and this has been the most spacious (pictures do not do it justice); with an open floor plan, sizeable rooms that can accommodate large families, private bathrooms in each bedroom, ample room for both entertainment and relaxation and parking spaces suitable for several families. Although it was slightly cold, we truly enjoyed our time there playing games & watching movies (provided by the house) and our time at the beach (which was just a short walk away). We made some core family memories this weekend! The community & all the amenities where this property is situated are stunning! The food from the Black Marlin Restaurant (which is near the pool) was amazing; I highly recommend the shrimp tacos! We are so thankful for the hospitality and can't wait to return!

Mila’s Retreat did not disappoint and It’s more amazing in person! Where do I start?!The website is not up to date with some décor/furniture and the new touches definitely gave us that resort vibe. We were pleasantly caught off guard as we walked in with the décor and welcoming gifts! It was 5 days of bliss. I would wake up with the natural light and start the morning with a jog. We then gathered up the family for breakfast. The kitchen area/house has so much space that we did not have to squeeze by or get in the way of each other as we cooked some eggs and biscuits. All hands were on deck. The kitchen offered everything that we needed. The table fit all 14 of us and that’s a big win because we love to break bread together. Not only did we make some great memories in the kitchen with some dishes (And a burnt one) but we made them on the beach as-well. We hit the beach for a few hours a day and rented chairs and umbrellas. We were in awe with the new oasis pool and took full advantage of the amenities that is served. Swim up bar and kitchen is provided for orders. Every room had its own shower and restroom to use when we got back from our outing. It was great to use the water softener after all the chlorine and sunscreen. My family offers a full hearted thank you for giving us a warm welcome and a place to call home!

Island time
This is the Second time that we stay at Mila’s Retreat and we just absolutely love it. We like to get away from the city and city lights. It is serene to be here and always bummed when we have to leave. We like the open concept of the floor plan and we love that the decor is not “coastal cheesy”. It is clean and welcoming. Mila’s has 5 bedrooms and none of them are in the kitchen or living room. We’re not crammed into a space but separated throughout and this is one reason that we will keep coming. We first booked last year in the summer and used up all 5 bedrooms and bunks. We cooked in the kitchen one night and made steaks outside on the grill the next. I feel spoiled by Mila’s and we are booking again in May. Call me crazy but we will only need 2 bedrooms (2 king beds) this time. See you soon!!

There are a few things that I do not like to give up when I leave my house. I don't like to give up size and I don't like to give up my water softener. Mila's Retreat now has both. The water softener did not exist when we stayed back in May but we rebooked because of the size of the home. 5 spacious bedrooms (2 king beds is a plus) and 5 1/2 baths. Every room has a shower and restroom. We don't have to wait for a shower to become available while our family washes up and gets ready. I was amazed to see and feel the soft water the second time we stayed. Water is usually hard in Port Aransas. As silly as it sounds, a nice "soft water" shower feels great to be able to wash off sunblock/chlorine after a long day at the beach and the pool. Thank you for the hospitality and we will be back again.

Amazing stay!
Wow, wow, wow!
This was our first family visit to Port A and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! Mila's retreat was super clean, spacious, fully stocked, and peaceful! The kids ran around and had a blast. We rented a golf cart and went on to the beach and down the street to the candy store. The pool was amazing too! We look forward to returning!

Amazing Vacation/ Amazing Beach House
We absolutely loved staying at Mila's Retreat. It's a beautiful and extremely spacious home. It was very clean and I was pleasantly surprised that they have Dyson air purifiers. The location is great! We spent the afternoons at the beach and appreciated that Palmilla offers set up for beach chairs and umbrellas. During the evenings we would take turns cooking and we enjoyed their kitchen. The floor plan is perfect and the courtyard is inviting! We rented a golf cart for our stay and most nights we would take it out to the beach. We all loved sitting by the fire, making s'mores, and listening to the waves. It was majestic. After a long day it was nice to crawl into a comfortable bed and watch movies. We all slept wonderful. We stayed 5 days and we all agreed that we wanted to stay longer. We will and can't wait to go back.

PERFECT
This place is amazing. So much room. The kitchen is well stocked. Well thought of details like art, gas stove open concept. We used the bbq grill almost everyday. We especially appreciated the soft water since we know this area has terrible water. It has a reverse osmosis for drinking water as well so we just filled our bottles. They set up umbrellas and beach chairs. Best beach experience for sure

AMAZING!
Recently my family and I stayed at Mila's Retreat and let me tell you, it definitely lives up to its name. Everything about this beach house was perfection. It was super clean, conveniently located to everything....the beach, the pool, restaurants, and gas stations. The beds were very comfortable so we all slept great. It has some fun board games our family played while unwinding from the day at the beach and pool. The resort where Mila's Retreat is located has a nice and clean pool that we got to enjoy after the beach. We were able to rent a golf cart and took short drives into town in it. Visiting Port Aransas won't be the same if we don't stay at this beach house again. We all loved it and will definitely stay here again. It was truly a magical experience.

Perfect retreat
This is a great place for a getaway. Close to the beach and close enough to town, central to everything you’d need. The house is gorgeous and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed from the second you walk in the door. Highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!

The Perfect Escape
Mila's Retreat, the community and amenities, as well as the location surpassed all of our expectations. This home is perfect for a group or if you'd like to treat you and your significant other to plenty of room. The decor is sophisticated but not stuffy, beachy but not cheesy. Our relatives from out of the country were amazed at the size and our two littles wanted to move in! The bunk bed room was the perfect little sanctuary for them. We spent loads of time on the patio, enjoyed the gorgeous community pool, took a short walk (even for me being 7 months pregnant) to the beach and everything was perfect. I wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to return to make more memories. I also felt very safe, which is a huge deal for me.

Spacious clean and beautiful home
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully decorated home. It had all amenities you could ask for and was immaculate. The house was incredibly spacious and we really enjoyed the luxurious furnishings. The location was perfect. Our favorite part of our stay was the location near the beach and the how comfortable and relaxing the home was. Everything was extremely clean and welcoming. There was a convenient courtyard complete with grill and every room had balcony access. There was a lot of natural light which made this an amazing beach oasis. It by far exceeded our expectations.

Ready to stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The location is amazing...1 block from the pool and two blocks from the boardwalk for the beach. T.V.'s and WIFI worked great so I was able to do a little bit of work. We were thrilled with a movie night at the pool. We decided to book it again for summer. Looking forward to it.

The house was perfect
The house was immaculate, looked exactly like the photos, and the location is great. It is within a 2-minute walk to the pool...great for the kids! It has everything you need...towels, laundry detergent, kitchen items. Just bring dishwasher pods. Check in was a breeze, check out was just as easy. We did have some trouble with the security code, it didn't work. But Vacasa customer service was quick to give me an alternate code that worked. There was also a power surge that knocked out the power to the garage door for a bit. I contact customer service for help again and they were quick to respond. Overall a great stay, the kids did not want to leave. They especially loved the bunk room! We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Victoria, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for the unexpected delay in getting you checked in and the inconvenience the power surge caused the garage door. We hope that after another code was issued and the local staff addressed the garage door issue, the remainder of your trip unfolded with ease. Thank you for staying with us.

Great Stay!
This home is beautiful and spacious. We really enjoyed the living area since my family was able to lounge on the couch and watch movies. We are a big family so it was a plus that every room has it's own bathroom. The home is close to the boardwalk so we were able to get to the beach easily. We all can't wait to stay again. Loved it!
