Wonderful stay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We didn’t want to leave. This beach house is first class! We packed cooking supplies but never used them, the kitchen is fully stocked. The oversized couch fit our large group for movie nights. House is spotless. Rooms and beds are very comfortable! Every room has its own bathroom. We love the resort pools. We will only stay here from now on.

Best place in PORT A!
We took our family to Milas Retreat for Mother’s Day and we will never stay anywhere else! Every room has a crisp, cozy feeling that makes you feel right at home. The fact that every room has their own restroom is such a huge win for our family with kids. The house is equipped with everything you need to either stay in or on the go! We didn’t need to bring any chairs, ice chest, Or boogie boards which helped us save so much trunk space. Everything is labeled and easy to find. Can’t wait to go back end of summer! I recommend this place to everyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the best stay in this Port Aransas home! The location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and shops—yet still quiet and relaxing. The house was spotless, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The beds were cozy, the kitchen had all the essentials. Communication with the host was quick and easy, making check-in a breeze. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again—highly recommend!

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!

Spring Break to Remember!
Spring break came fast, and I managed to book a last-minute stay that turned out to be an absolute gem! This house is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate 4 families and a group of 16 people. The best part? Every room has its own private bathroom, so no waiting in line for showers. We spent several nights grilling in the courtyard and enjoyed breakfast every morning. We had plenty of space to move around and relax. Game nights were a blast, with everyone fitting in the cozy living room. We didn’t pack too much, but it worked out because this house provided an ice chest, beach chairs, & beach toys. It was a perfect getaway!

Gorgeous
Our family recently enjoyed our 3rd consecutive stay at Mila’s Retreat !! This gorgeous, clean and spacious home is perfect for our large family. We would happily give it 10 stars if allowed. Mila’s has everything you could possibly need in its beautiful, well appointed kitchen. Its large living area is great for relaxing after a long, fun day at the beach. The bedrooms with king beds and soft linens are pure luxury! It’s conveniently located between the 2 huge pools on the property and our guys love that the golf course is only 2 minutes away. We’ve stayed in many homes in Port A over the years and none can compare to Mila’s, it’s the Diamond of the Island ! See you next year Mila’s Retreat !

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!

Amazing!
We originally had a condo booked and received a notification the night before our trip that the reservation had been cancelled due to maintenance issues. Luckily VACASA had already searched the resort and provided an alternate rental for us. Staying here was definitely a treat and an upgrade to what we had originally booked. VACASA definitely made it right. The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We grilled one night for dinner and ate breakfast and lunch at the house each day. The house also came with the following beach items: 2 beach chairs, a canopy/beach tent, and some sand toys. We left our sand toys and a few nets as well for other kiddos to enjoy! Only con was related to the staff and has nothing to do with the house itself so I won't get into that here but 100% recommend this wonderful house!

Mila's Retreat is absolutely gorgeous! It had everything you could ever want or need in a beach/vacation house. I have stayed at several beach houses in Port A and this has been the most spacious (pictures do not do it justice); with an open floor plan, sizeable rooms that can accommodate large families, private bathrooms in each bedroom, ample room for both entertainment and relaxation and parking spaces suitable for several families. Although it was slightly cold, we truly enjoyed our time there playing games & watching movies (provided by the house) and our time at the beach (which was just a short walk away). We made some core family memories this weekend! The community & all the amenities where this property is situated are stunning! The food from the Black Marlin Restaurant (which is near the pool) was amazing; I highly recommend the shrimp tacos! We are so thankful for the hospitality and can't wait to 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.

Island time
This is the Second time that we stay at Mila’s Retreat and we just absolutely love it. We like to get away from the city and city lights. It is serene to be here and always bummed when we have to leave. We like the open concept of the floor plan and we love that the decor is not “coastal cheesy”. It is clean and welcoming. Mila’s has 5 bedrooms and none of them are in the kitchen or living room. We’re not crammed into a space but separated throughout and this is one reason that we will keep coming. We first booked last year in the summer and used up all 5 bedrooms and bunks. We cooked in the kitchen one night and made steaks outside on the grill the next. I feel spoiled by Mila’s and we are booking again in May. Call me crazy but we will only need 2 bedrooms (2 king beds) this time. See you soon!!

Home Away From Home
Let me start off by saying that I usually don't leave reviews, unless a place really leaves a huge impression. My family and I usually go to Port Aransas about 2-3 times a year. We have stayed at Palmilla and other places around town. This is our 2nd time staying at Mila's Retreat and we have found our home away from home. There are a few things that I do not like to give up when I leave my house. I don't like to give up size and I don't like to give up my water softener. Mila's Retreat now has both. The water softener did not exist when we stayed back in May but we rebooked because of the size of the home. 5 spacious bedrooms (2 king beds is a plus) and 5 1/2 baths. Every room has a shower and restroom. We don't have to wait for a shower to become available while our family washes up and gets ready. I was amazed to see and feel the soft water the second time we stayed. Water is usually hard in Port Aransas. As silly as it sounds, a nice "soft water" shower feels great to be able to wash off sunblock/chlorine after a long day at the beach and the pool. Thank you for the hospitality and we will be back again.

Recently my family and I stayed at Mila's Retreat and let me tell you, it definitely lives up to its name. Everything about this beach house was perfection. It was super clean, conveniently located to everything....the beach, the pool, restaurants, and gas stations. The beds were very comfortable so we all slept great. It has some fun board games our family played while unwinding from the day at the beach and pool. The resort where Mila's Retreat is located has a nice and clean pool that we got to enjoy after the beach. We were able to rent a golf cart and took short drives into town in it.
