A little piece of paradise! 🌴
Absolutely loved my stay at The Sandcastle! This is such a beautiful and peaceful home, with the most breathtaking sunrise and sunset views you could ever imagine. 🌅🌊 The property was clean, comfortable, and very easy to access. The elevator was a huge plus, and I had absolutely no issues during my stay. Everything was just as described, and the home made for the perfect getaway. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay at The Sandcastle again. Highly recommend! ❤️

Great house in Palmilla
This house was perfect for our large group. We had lots of room to spread out and there was ample sinks and fridges around to make it easy to access drinks no matter the floor that you are on. You are also right by a pool which is great. My only complaint is that the prices in Palmilla are exhorbitant for Port Aransas and its priced like Seaside, FL but without as any things. You are, however, getting turnkey service, so many may be OK with that. I prefer staying closer to town in a more organically grown neighborhood.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the house was a great fit for your large group, with plenty of space, convenient amenities, and easy access to the pool. We appreciate your honest perspective on the pricing in Palmilla and understand your preference for staying closer to town in a more traditional neighborhood. Your comments are valuable for future guests considering the area. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay, wherever you choose in Port Aransas!

Great house great service
We had some issues at the house. There was no gas and hot water for the entire day. We were not able to cook and had to eat out as a result. With that said the local guest services were very apologetic and explained that it was a City issue because the house is new. There was nothing they could do. They were not able to move us to another house, but they did provide a reasonable reduction in our total cost, which I really appreciated. We also did not have enough towels in the house and they were not able to provide more, but we did let them know so hopefully they improve that for future guests. Otherwise, the space is really nice, the AC worked very well, and the cleanliness was exceptional.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Carol. We're truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced with the gas and hot water during your stay. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been not to have those essential amenities, especially when it impacted your ability to cook. It’s good to know that our local guest services team was apologetic and did their best to assist you despite the city-related issue. We also appreciate you letting us know about the towel shortage. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will be sure to pass this along to our housekeeping team so we can improve for future guests. On a brighter note, We're glad to hear you enjoyed the spaciousness, the effective AC, and the cleanliness of the home. We truly value your understanding and patience, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a flawless stay next time.

Great House!
Great layout. Thoughtful touches throughout (esp deep freezer for bagged ice storage on first floor). Super spacious. Will stay again. Also shoutout to Vacasa management team. Needed some assistance with accessing property and they were extremely helpful. Top notch service all the way around!

Great house for big groups
We had an amazing stay at this beach house! It is the perfect setup for four couples and six kids. We never once felt crowded with our large group. Each floor had its own living space and wet bar, which made it so easy for everyone to spread out or gather together when we wanted. The location was unbeatable directly across the street from the Black Marlin and REDS, the main pool, and the Great Lawn (where we watched the Memorial Day concerts from the balconies). One unexpected highlight: the deep freezer on the lower level. Total game changer! It cut down on our usual ice runs and made daily beach cooler stocking effortless. The kitchen was well-stocked with tons of storage, and the bedrooms were equally spacious with plenty of room for everyone’s belongings. We’ll definitely be back!
