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.

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.

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.

Best Place in All of Port A
This house was perfect for family and extended family to all stay under one roof for a weekend celebration for my daughter. The house has a beautiful coastal decor with plenty of room and rooms! It was nice to be able to all be together, but also have privacy when needed in the very spacious rooms. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Beach House!
Wonderful stay! Beds are comfortable. The 4 king beds is one of the main reasons we chose this house and it worked out perfectly. Everyone had their own private room but still had the luxury of being together in the living room & dining room. We enjoyed grilling and the courtyard set up. Can’t wait to go back! House and resort are beautiful!

We Loved Milas Retreat!
Our stay at Mila’s Retreat was very relaxing and enjoyable! They provided every amenity you could think of and the home was extremely clean! The decor of the house was modern and tasteful but also felt cozy and comfortable. We loved staying here and will definitely book again. The house accommodated our large party and was the perfect distance to the beach. The children in our group absolutely loved the bunk bed room and the host was extremely responsive. Thanks Mila’s Retreat for a memorable vacation.

3 day retreat at Mila’s
Mila’s was perfect from check-in to checkout. Ample space and great to host. We booked a last minute getaway and it was the best. We usually do the weekends in Port A but we found our new gem. Getting away during the week was perfect because we didn’t have to fight the weekend crowd. We had the pool to ourselves at times. We had such an amazing time. We’re already planning our next trip before summer ends.

Huge & Beautiful House!
Everything was perfect! We walked in knowing that there were 5 bedrooms and that each one had its own bathroom for privacy. What we were amazed by was the ample space that this house offers! Each room offers your own space and you do not feel confined. At night, we comfortably retired to our own suite. This is something that is seldomly offered here in PortA.❤️ Gorgeous house!

Perfect
This home has everything you could possibly need, just like home. The 1st floor has a fully stocked kitchen, large dining table, and comfortable living room. We loved the sofa. Our group of 15 had enough space to cook and eat together. The house comes with a washer and dryer. En suite bathrooms were a great surprise. House is spacious, clean, and in a great location. We already rebooked. Thanks, Mila’s Retreat!

We didn’t have to leave the property. Happy we found Mila’s Retreat! Thanks for the hospitality and we will definitely return!

The perfect family getaway
I found Mila’s Retreat on Instagram @milasretreat when I decided to book a last minute trip and it was just what we needed! It has been a chaotic schedule with a month into school year along with volleyball practices/games. We felt that island energy the moment we walked in! The house was immaculate and welcoming. It truly was the perfect family getaway. The beds were more than comfortable and we slept amazing. We felt like each room was its own suite. The amenities from the Black marlin restaurant to the oasis pool are superb. Great food and drinks at both places. We also drove the beach cart to get our Starbucks coffee Saturday and Sunday morning which is located on property. The House is a perfect distance to town and the beach.

Clean, Spacious, & Luxurious
First time staying at Palmilla and it was awesome! Mila’s Retreat was a perfect house for our group. Garage access was convenient as it leads straight to the kitchen on the 1st floor. Kitchen is fully stocked. Tons & tons of space everywhere! Beds are comfortable. Kids enjoyed the bunk room while the adults enjoyed the king beds. Impressed with the Dyson purifiers. Loved the decor. Private courtyard was welcoming while we used the gas grill. Definitely recommend & we will be back!

Beautiful Beach House
We truly enjoyed this beautiful beach house. Our family celebrated the holidays here and this home is perfect. Kitchen is fabulous with new pots and pans. We took turns cooking meals and loved that the dining table fit all 12 of us. My elderly parents appreciated the kitchen being on the first floor along with a king master bedroom. House was clean and comfortable. Bonus, Palmilla has a heated pool. Thank you for having us.

The Perfect Stay for our Family Trip!!
Mila's Retreat, is amazing! This beautiful house was perfect for our large family. The kitchen living room open concept kept our family together and entertained. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need to cook. Large dinning table was a plus for us as we enjoy eating together as a family. Bedrooms are spacious and very clean. We loved that each bedroom has their own private bathroom. Whoever decorated this place did an amazing job. The simple decor reminds you that you're on vacation yet makes you feel right at home. Speaking of vacation, Mila's Retreat is on a pretty cool resort. There are two large pools, golf course, and a restaurant. The beach is in walking distance. The kiddos enjoyed spending the day at the beach, then the evening at the pool. After a long day at the beach, it was pretty awesome returning to Mila's Retreat for some relaxation...........If you are looking to take a trip to Port Aransas, Mila's Retreat is definitely the place to stay. We highly recommend it.

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! We definitely recommend and will be back.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Nice location, property management and cleanliness could be better
Location was great, but be ready for some nearby construction as Palmilla is still being developed. We enjoyed the community pool and access to the beach. Floors were filthy when we checked in, and everyone's soles immediately turned black. We also had an ant issue in the kitchen as soon as we unloaded the food.
Communication with Vacasa was a bit bizarre. I emailed them weeks before with questions via VRBO, and did not receive a response to my email. After check in, the response times varied, and while they were eager to confirm they were working on fixing the ant issue, and said they *may* send someone to treat it, they were not able to confirm if anyone actually did enter the house to deal with the ants while we were at the beach. Apparently that a different team than whoever texts you back. We'll never know I guess???
Upon returning home I could not locate the charger for my baby's monitor and contacted Vacasa to ask if it was left behind. They said that I would be charged a fee for them to look for the item, whether or not is it found. No budging on this, and I was met with a cold "well, this is our policy".
Property overall is great. Property management leaves a lot to be desired.
