Modern luxury and style abound at this palatial Palmilla Beach retreat. Boasting all-new construction and design, this spacious escape features waterfront views of Sunset Pond and direct boardwalk beach access right from the community. During your stay, enjoy complimentary on-site access to the community's resort-style pool or enjoy a few rounds at Palmilla Beach Golf Club.

Enjoy access to incredible amenities, including two elegant resort-style pools that are heated during our winter season. A designated area at the beach with food services and air-conditioned bathrooms. During the summer, poolside cabanas, golf carts, beach chairs, and umbrellas are available to rent via Guest Services.

An open layout, ample windows, and lofty cathedral ceilings create a bright and inviting ambiance for group gatherings in the great room. A massive sectional and smart TV set the scene for casual downtime, while a dry bar equipped with a wine cooler and mini fridge are ready to mix up some pre-meal entertainment. Spark gourmet inspiration in the stainless steel chef's kitchen and take care of cleanup with ease using the automatic dishwasher. Furnished decks on either side of the home offer plenty of opportunity for outdoor living. A gas grill is also provided for Texas-style barbecues. Additional home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.

Awesome house
The house was beautiful, well designed and nicely decorated. Everything was clean and in good condition. Nice kitchen and spacious great room for everyone to hang out in. Everyone in our group wished we could add another day just to stay longer at the house!

The fabulous Cattail Castle
Our family of nine had a wonderful time in Port Aransas and our accommodations at The Cattail Castle made it perfect. So many amenities in this beautiful extremely clean home. We had a king bed for everyone of our three adult couples, every bedroom has its own private full bathroom. Really appreciated having the two kitchen sinks, two dishwashers, two ice machines and a utility room on two floors. Probably the best was having an elevator to get our groceries and luggage upstairs. We loved our stay in this beautiful home and can’t wait to come back.

We were very comfortable and would highly recommend this beautiful home.

This brand new, beautifully decorated beach house in Palmilla Resort far exceeded our expectations. Rooms are ample in size with quality linens, kitchen is expansive and well supplied with professional cookware and appliances, elevator is great for bringing in luggage or for when stairs might be a problem plus the balconies have beautiful views…all which make this property ideal for an exceptional beach vacation! Also, the golfers in our family thoroughly enjoyed the course! Would absolutely love to stay here again!

Okay…were issues
Nice property, but very problematic elevator. If you have people with medical issues requiring this elevator, be leery. We got stuck in this elevator no less than 5x - traumatizing for sure. There is one blowdryer in the entire house and zero paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags etc. outside of what is on counter/in containers. For the amount of money spent, this house was disappointing to say the least. Nice house, neutral stay.

Perfection!!!
The home at 128 Cattail is simply perfection. We were blown away by the design, furnishings, and comfort of the home. We felt like we could simply move in! The views at this lovely estate are amazing, with decks off of most rooms, you are able to have your own private space to relax and enjoy the ocean’s breeze. The kitchen is a chefs dream….all the amenities of a personal home and MORE! The beds are super comfy, linens are just right, and wonderful spaces for kids to bunk. It is a short walk through the beautiful neighborhood to the boardwalk where the beaches are located. We enjoyed the larger-sized heated pool. It was wonderful for parents and children alike. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy this beautiful vacation destination on Port A’s beach!

Great for the family
Space for everyone to have their own privacy and a large family room and kitchen to gather together. Close to the beach and the pool is great. Very clean.

Fantastic home with great views
The pictures do not do this place justice. Sunrise and Sunsets on the 3rd floor. Golf course and Gulf of Mexico views.

Port Aransas Family Trip
We rented this home for our 3 families with children 5 and under and had a wonderful time! The weather was rainy so we spent quite some time in the house and it was clean and spacious. It also had baby gates at the bottom and top of stairs which was great for our toddlers. It also had Sonos throughout which was a nice bonus. We would definitely rent this house again in the future!
