Start each day with a fresh cup of coffee on your furnished balcony before heading out to take advantage of the beach access, and shared pool all on-site. 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. If you build up an appetite, on-site dining is available as well at Black Marlin Seaside Grill, REDS Patio Bar, and Agave Poolside Cantina. If you have a few golfers in the group, a nine-hole golf course incorporates the best of true links-style play and winds its way through the resort.

The full kitchen is equipped with island seating, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and ample cookware, so everyone can socialize with the chef of the group as tasty meals are prepared.

Beach Happy Indeed
This home was well set up, smart design for a tiny home, comfortable king master bed & clean. The location was convenient with little need to leave the property. On-site dining, bar, pool and poolside bar service kept us entertained. There is beach access and lots of sidewalks in the complex to navigate to the various routes to the beach and other amenities. Everything was within quick easy walking distance. No need to worry about having a cocktail because you can walk back to your room!
My only complaint as a whole is that the coffee trailer onsite was not open very early and not always open during the advertised hours. We found off site coffee that was really good. We will most definitely return!

Great home, mosquito problem outside
We absolutely loved the home, everything was quite clean, and except for a few minor issues, our stay was fantastic.
The biggest issue we faced was swarms of mosquitoes just outside our front door, so every time we left or returned we (and other guests we saw) had to run inside or run outside very fast to avoid being bitten 5 or 6 times.
Would definitely recommend and hope they begin treating for mosquitoes at the properties themselves.

Beach Happy Stay
We loved the cute casita! It was beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable with nice linens and blankets. The kitchen dishes, glasses, pots and pans were all new with several choices available. I would definitely book this casita again!

This was our second stay at Beach Happy!! We’ve been vacationing in Port Aransas for many years and find this beautiful house to be our favorite place to stay. It’s so lovely and well appointed. The bed is comfy, the grounds are pretty and it’s perfect for us. We love it being close to shops and restaurants. We highly recommend you get to know this gem by booking a stay at Beach Happy.

Beach Happy
We LOVED our stay! This charming casita is beautifully appointed! The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathrooms were conveniently located upstairs and downstairs. We enjoyed sitting in comfort on the balcony and downstairs porches. The beds were very comfortable, too. An added bonus was a view of the ocean and ease to the beach. We will definitely stay in this unit again!

Lovely house but...
The house was really pretty and very well stocked with everything we needed for a fun weekend! Unfortunately there was construction directly across from us that we were not warned about so there was no place to sit outside for a quiet cup of coffee or a nice chat and walking to the beach was treacherous with so much heavy equipment and building materials on the path. Guest Services was a joke. Two teenagers told us there are no arm bands required (the instructions sent to us said those were required) and that we couldn’t sign up for surfing lessons because it was “too late” (5 pm the night before the lesson) when there was nothing on the website giving any kind of deadline to sign up - and the only activity going for the weekend was “s’mores”. We were all really disappointed and the girls at the desk were unapologetic and looked like we were interrupting their tiktok video or something. We will not be recommending the resort, that’s for sure.

Beautiful Casita in the heart of Palmilla
We enjoyed our stay at this casita! Nicely decorated, and great location, in between the pool area and the bar/restaurant. All of the staff on site were so friendly and accommodating. We plan to be back again next summer!
