Cute place. Comfortable for our family of 4. Had the amenities we needed for cooking. Very quiet - of course, it is October, so probably a quieter time in general. It has 2 balconies & a small patio that are nice. Easy walk to the boardwalk. Nice neighborhood. We didn’t use any of the neighborhood amenities (pool, fitness, etc.), but that overall feel was nice.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad your family found the place comfortable and enjoyed the cooking amenities, outdoor spaces, quiet neighborhood, and easy walk to the boardwalk. We’d be happy to host you again!

Home away from home
Hi, We really enjoyed the home and our stay over the four days we were there. The house was comfortable, and we appreciated the opportunity to stay there. I did want to share a few concerns that I hope will be helpful for future guests. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the pots and pans because they were badly damaged, so I had to purchase my own cookware during our stay. We also encountered several pests, including roaches and spiders, which we had to kill while we were there. It may be a good idea to have the home treated with pest control or fogged before future guests arrive. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but I wanted to bring these issues to your attention so they can be addressed. Thank you again for your hospitality.

Perfect Size
Loved the location of this home! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. If you’re traveling with small children - just keep in mind that it doesn’t have bathtubs which makes it hard to bathe toddlers after a day at the beach! Lol! Other than that - we loved this home! It was very clean and we loved sitting on the balcony after dinner. :)

Absolute dream trip to Port A staying in and on this property!! My daughter was crying when the time came to leave. We will be back! The location was perfect to town, beach, pools, and corpus. Pools were sparkling clean with delicious food and drinks. The servers were adorable and very attentive at Pamilla. Getting in was a breeze as was operating all tv’s, kitchen appliances, bathrooms, and WiFi. The porch was comfy while watching a storm pass!! The kids and we slept so soundly at this property. There was a loud unit nearby (we were not the complainers) but we got a reminder text about it (wasn’t us!) and it quieted immediately we noticed. We met wonderful people with beautiful families that made our trip even better. Thank you Vacasa for such a wonderful experience at Palmilla!!! We can’t wait to be back!!!

Location is perfect. Home was immaculate. The beach was amazing. Overall a great place. I had someone from Vacasa I was able to speak with if I had any questions. Their response was prompt and helpful. The only suggestion I have for the owner is to place a white mat or lights and the bottom of the staircase. The last few steps blend in with the flooring and 2 people in our group fell at different times during our stay. So beware of that if you rent this place. Also the bunk in the second room is not practical. The ceiling fan is too close and our son kept hitting his head on it. Not a big deal, just be aware it's not useful for an adult. Otherwise it's a great home. Very pleased with our stay

Great location, beautiful decor
We loved staying at this Casita! The location was great and close to all amenities. The decor was beautiful and the house was well stocked. The only downside was that the house had a very strong stench of cigarette smoke— our clothes even smelled upon returning home. Despite that, we definitely plan to return to Vida Del Mar next year!

Beautiful home however VACASA needs to step it up
The house is beautiful, and beds are super comfortable. I am giving them five stars as my concerns are not necessarily the homeowner. We ourselves have a vacation home but use a different property management. Upon our arrival the trash cans were full of trash from previous renters. I called the number was on hold for about 20 minutes finally made a ticket to have someone take the trash bins out. No one came by for hours so I decided to leave the trash outside by the door. The next day the trash was still there full of flies. I decided to just throw the trash out myself and clean the porch. VACASA finally called me a day later to follow up. I told them I addressed issue myself. The other issue was that they only left one tab to wash clothes so I guess they expect that people will only wash one time.

Amazing stay. Can’t wait to come again!
This rental was very cute and well kept. Our party consisted of 4 adults and 2 children and we were very comfortable with the accommodations. The rental was decorated so well and had everything we could ever need from kitchen gadgets and cocktail mixers, to board games, pool towels and more. The beds were soft and comfortable and there were ceiling fans in each room. The televisions were all smart so we were able to curl up and watch a movie before bed.
The proximity to the beach was easy with a golf cart but in the summer heat it would be a challenging walk unless you rented the beach chairs through Palmilla.
Parking was easy to find and close by.
The pool looked very nice but didn’t have any shade aside from the cabanas which you can rent separately.
There was quite a bit of construction during our visit because Palmilla is under development but there wasn’t a ton of noise. If you want a view, or want to totally relax in quiet, you might want to wait until construction wraps up before you visit. But, we really didn’t mind it.
We will ONLY stay here when we come back for a visit. We can’t wait!
