Description
Starfish Cove combines modern coastal design with the extra appeal of a corner townhouse in Palmilla Beach’s Boathouse Townhomes collection. Elevated ceilings, bright interiors, and outdoor seating on two levels create an inviting setting for time together and quiet moments in the sea breeze.
Clean lines give the interior a fresh, relaxed feel. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals convenient, whether you’re putting together breakfast before the beach or staying in for dinner. Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected throughout your stay.
The front porch and second-floor balcony are standout features, offering separate places to enjoy the outdoors. Sip morning coffee on the porch or unwind upstairs after a day on the sand. With welcoming indoor spaces and two outdoor seating areas, Starfish Cove makes it easy to find your favorite vacation spot.
Palmilla Beach Resort Amenities
Enjoy two resort-style pools, heated during winter, including the Oasis pool with its swim-up bar. The resort also offers on-site links-style golf, a fitness center, and community parks with gathering spaces, firepits, and bocce ball.
Beach access makes days on the sand easy, with seasonal beach services offering chair setups and food delivery. During summer, golf carts, beach chairs, umbrellas, and poolside cabanas are available to rent through Guest Services for an additional fee, subject to availability. Port Aransas dining, shopping, and local attractions are less than three miles away.

Great Family Vacation
We stayed at Starfish Cove for 5 days. The house is super comfy and neat. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The kids loved hanging out on the balcony and porch. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach and about a 5 minute drive from souvenir shops and treats. Our family loved the stay!

Great stay
This property was perfect for our family of 5. It was very clean and furnished comfortably. We appreciated the essentials that were provided. Both the lower and upper patios were great places to relax along with the community pools and easily accessible beach.
