What our guests say about Sunset on the 9th
Wonderful stay at Sunset on the 9th!
★★★★★
Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sunset on the 9th! We had 10 guests total—6 adults and 4 children spanning 3 generations—and the home was perfect for bringing everyone together while still giving us plenty of space to spread out. The location is fantastic, and we especially loved the beautiful outdoor living area. Every morning started with coffee outside while enjoying the peaceful golf course views, and the evenings were just as relaxing. The outdoor space quickly became our favorite gathering spot. The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The layout worked great for our large family, and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax after a day at the beach and exploring Port Aransas. One thing that really stood out was the ample parking. With multiple vehicles, it was so convenient to have plenty of parking space without feeling crowded. Sunset on the 9th truly felt like a home away from home. We made so many wonderful memories together, and all three generations agreed that this was one of our favorite family vacations. We can't wait to come back and stay again! Highly recommend!

Luxury -Star Resort & Home with Stunning Sunsets over the 9th hole!
★★★★★
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful Palmilla Beach property. The guys spent a morning on the incredible links‑style golf course and couldn’t stop talking about how fun and challenging it was. Meanwhile, the girls enjoyed exploring Port Aransas—every shop was charming, and the locals were unbelievably friendly. The layout of the home was perfect for our family. Having four true master suites plus a bunk room made it so easy for everyone to spread out and relax. And the sunsets over the 9th hole from every balcony were simply unforgettable—one of our favorite parts of the trip. Inside, the home had everything we needed and more. The coffee bar was such a thoughtful touch, and all the new appliances, cookware, and the grill on the balcony made cooking together a breeze. We also loved spending time at the private Palmilla Beach, complete with chairs and umbrellas waiting for us. It felt like a true resort experience. And dinner at The Black Marlin was fantastic—highly recommend it. We can’t say enough good things about this place. It was the perfect getaway, and we’re already talking about coming back.

Awesome place, we’ll be back!!

Sunset on the 9th is an absolutely beautiful home at Palmilla Beach—full of inviting colors and a warm, welcoming feel. It was the perfect setting for our family’s graduation celebration. The home truly has everything you could need. I slept wonderfully on the first‑floor bed, and renting a golf cart made it easy to get to the beach, local shops, and the Horace Caldwell Pier each day. Our routine became beach time followed by afternoons at the Oasis pool, complete with a lively swim‑up bar and great music. San Juan Restaurant was a hit—fantastic take‑out, and their fajitas for ten were a huge win. Dolphin Park was unforgettable as we watched dolphins chasing fish right in front of us. The bird refuge was another highlight, especially at sunset. We had a fantastic stay at Sunset on the 9th. They’ve truly thought of everything. We’ll definitely be back.

Perfect Beach or Golf Getaway
★★★★★
We had an amazing stay at Sunset on the 9th! The house was spotless, spacious, and perfect for our all-adult getaway. With four bedrooms featuring king-size beds, everyone had a comfortable private space. There was also a separate bunk room with four bunk beds, making it an excellent option for families with kids. We loved the multiple balcony spaces with a view of the golf course, the cute backyard with a grill, and all the beach amenities that made it easy to pack up and head to the beach. The community is beautiful, very secure, and we always felt safe. The beach access was convenient, and shops and restaurants were just a short drive away. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property!

Beautiful, clean and spacious home
★★★★★
The house was just what our two families needed for a beach getaway weekend! The kids had a ton of fun exploring the bunk bed room, the adults enjoyed the spacious kitchen and living area. The bedrooms are all really nice and so comfortable. Palmilla Beach is beautiful and all the amenities are so nice - especially in October when there are not many people there :) The only downside for us in the house was the number of stairs with a bunch of little kids.

Best host, cutest condo.
★★★★★
Our family could not have asked for more. We needed a little staycation and are so glad we stayed at the Spanish Dagger. The property and location were just the recharge we were looking for. The condo is beautiful and perfectly situated near the beach. There are so many levels and balconies that even a large family could stay here and feel as though they have privacy when they need it. And those bunk beds. So adorable!! We not only felt incredibly comfortable we also felt well looked after during our stay. Chris made sure we had everything we needed and made it clear that he would be available if something came up. Thank you to the Gunn family for being such gracious hosts.

Beautiful & spacious home in Port A
★★★★★
We had a wonderful time in Port A! Your home there is BEAUTIFUL and it was the perfect location for us to stay near the beach and town. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a nice breeze while we explored the town on our golf cart. It was my first time staying at Palmilla and we thought that it was the perfect location (even closer to everything than Cinnamon Shore). The home was very spacious and had everything that we needed.

Sunset on 9
★★★★★
Name truly speaks for itself. Loved watching the sunset over the golf course every day. House was perfect for our family. Small kids and pregnant wife had no trouble getting up to the third floor where the bedrooms were. My in laws stayed in the first floor BR. Loved the space and had no trouble using access codes or using the WiFi. A/C worked great. House was clean with plenty of amenities. My 7 year old daughter loved the bunk room. Will definitely return!

Great vacation home!
★★★★★
We enjoyed our stay at Spanish Dagger. The house was close to the pool and restaurants and not far from the boardwalk going to the beach. The balcony overlooks the golf course and Hwy 361. We had an issue with the ceiling fans/lights and needed more kitchen towels and the Property Manager came by as soon as he could to take care of the problem. Overall, I would say it is a lovely house. Great beds and just enough room for 8 people to sleep comfortably.

Spacious NEW place with super comfy King beds
★★★★★
We stay in port A a lot and this place was perfect for our family. 4 king bedrooms with beds so comfy that we were looking at the mattresses to buy for our home! The house has everything you need for a beach and pool adventure including pool towels. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up a few meals and we loved having TVs in every room.

Gorgeous property and amazing staff
★★★★★
We initially booked our trip back in December; however, the property became unavailable. The Vacasa staff was amazing at helping us locate another property and helping us every step of the way. Our trip went off without a hitch. We could not be more grateful for the tremendous service they provided.
