Great Stay!
We loved the location of the casita! Everything was very clean, and the house was well stocked with just about anything you would need! The only thing I would “complain” about is that the dryer of the stackable washer and dryer was up pretty high, so it was difficult for me to reach the clothes in the dryer even with the little stool they provided (I’m 5’3”). The beds were very comfortable and the house cooled down nicely. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch and the convenience of the beautiful amenities at Palmilla! We would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback, Roger. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We sincerely apologize if the issue with the dryer of the stackable washer and its position affected your overall experience with us, we'll make sure to inform our local operations team about this so future guests will not encounter the same issue. We truly hope we can host you for a more comfortable stay in the future, thank you.

Great Small Home
We enjoyed our stay. The home was well appointed and was very clean. The size was great for a small family of four. The location was very convenient to get to the beach and into town. Only small bit of advice would be to bring mosquito spray if you want to sit on the front porch.

Paradise in Texas
The most Beautiful Casita! It was a little piece of Paradise! We loved everything about our casita at Palmilla Beach and Golf Resort. We were transported to an oasis, surrounded by beauty everywhere. The layout, the decor, the furniture, the balcony, the porch/patio, the landscaping, everything so exquisite. The casita was right on the golf course, so serene. The walk to the beach by way of the boardwalk was very nice. The beach was so beautiful! We loved every moment of our trip! Next time we will definitely stay longer and get a bigger home since we plan to share this amazing experience with more family. ♥️

Great House for Beach Vacation
We stayed at this house for 5 days and really enjoyed our stay. It's a cozy, two bedroom house but very well finished with high quality amenities. The neighborhood is still under construction, but the noise was minimal and a non-issue. It has easy access to the beach and the pool was a great option when tired of the sand. The dining options are pretty restrictive early in the week, which is mostly when we were there, but they were opening up more for the Thurs-Sun right as we were leaving so we'll need to try them when we return. Overall, really enjoyed our stay and will be returning.

Great stay
This place was very nice and comfortable. We made a small grocery run before heading to the place, so make sure you do that. This specific unit was about a 5 to 7 min walk to the beach.
Check-out instructions weren’t consistent as far as what temperature to leave the AC and we couldn’t find laundry detergent to help start a wash load.
Besides that, it was honestly perfect and relaxing.
