The Sandy Spur | Palmilla Beach • Pool • Golf • Game Room • WiFi
Saddle up for a beach stay at The Sandy Spur, a luxury townhome tucked inside the beautiful Palmilla Beach Resort. Whether you came to slow down for a siesta, celebrate with a fiesta, or chase kids between the pool and the sand till sunset — this place was built for making memories. Your stay includes Palmilla’s private beach service, where the good folks at Guest Services set up your chairs and umbrellas right on the shoreline. No hauling gear, no fuss — just walk down and plant your boots in the sand.
Back at the house, you’re only about 20 steps from one of the resort two pools (heated in winter), plus easy access to the golf course and bar. After a long beach day, rinse off, grab a drink, and let the evening breeze do the rest.
Inside, the home is set up for families and fun: * Two big living areas for movies, games, and gatherings * 4K Smart TVs with Sonos sound * High-speed Wi-Fi * Ping-pong table & arcade game * Covered decks with Adirondack chairs and BBQ * Dedicated garage parking
The newly updated kitchen is clean and sharp with quartz counters, oak floating shelves, stainless appliances, a gas stove, and a French-door refrigerator — ready for pancakes at sunrise or seafood at supper. Upstairs you’ll find a second lounge and bunk room, perfect for kids to claim their territory, featuring built-in bunks, another 4K TV, and Sonos speakers.
THE RESORT LIFE During summer you can rent cabanas, golf carts, beach chairs, and umbrellas if you want to travel in style. At the beach you’ll find: * Reserved guest area * Air-conditioned bathrooms * Food & drink service Walk over for dinner at: * Black Marlin Seaside Grill * REDS Patio Bar * Agave Poolside Cantina Golfers will enjoy the redesigned 9-hole links-style course winding through the community — equal parts challenge and scenery.
THINGS TO KNOW * No pets allowed * Located on the 1st floor * Free parking for up to 4 vehicles * Digital keypad entry (new code each stay) We use privacy-safe noise monitoring that only measures sound levels — never conversations — just to keep the peace for everyone. Primary renter must be 25+.

Excellent stay
The home was in a perfect location for the customer service office. Right across the street from heated pool, bar and grill. Sunset and golf views off of back deck. All kitchen appliances you could ever need.

Check everything as soon as you are able to check in.
We have stayed there multiple times & we will stay again. We love that it is so close to the beach & that the homes are really nice, clean & spacious. We love that there are pools, a bar & a restaurant on the property. We have rented chairs on the beach & enjoyed all the amenities. Hoping to have a better experience next time.
We loved the townhome, location and amenities. The house was comfortable and had all we needed. The beds were very nice and the kids enjoyed the bunk beds and alone time in the game area. We played ping pong, rented a golf cart for two days and had a fun time driving around. Beach was in walking distance too. We will be back!

Needs Mold Remediation
Absolutely beautiful & comfortable home...except for the mold issue in the kitchen. At first the home seemed spotless minus what looked like old water damage in the kitchen above the stove area, however, having asthma I was up all night coughing from a flare-up and couldn't figure out why. 2 days into our trip we noticed the ceiling in the kitchen start dripping water and opening the cabinets around the stove revealed an extensive mold issue. I immediately called Vacasa and was informed there was a prior ticket for a water leak in the kitchen, that they'd contact the property manager and I would receive a call back but never did. I mentioned it again to the Vacasa desk at checkout but am unsure if this issue will be handled appropriately. We had an amazing vacation - Pamlilla amenities are always top-notch - and our children LOVED the 3rd floor just for them, but not getting any sleep from a mold-induced asthma exacerbation made it not as great as it could have been.
The home was fantastic, except for a few minor hiccups with the bedding and towels. However, Vacasa promptly addressed these issues and went above and beyond to ensure our family’s comfort. I will definitely continue booking with Vacasa, and the home was truly beautiful.
We love staying at Palmilla! This house is walking distance to the pool and guest services. The resort is great. You have a reserved section of the beach which during the busy summer weekends is very nice.

First stay
What a lovely home for our first visit to the area. Right across from pool and back up to beautiful view of golf course. It is well stocked with what one would need while staying. From kitchen utensils, games, to beach/pool items. Definitely saved to our list of places to come visit back.

Great location, great house
We loved just about everything about this house. The location is perfect for what we needed and is great if you're flying into Mustang Beach Airport. The water heater did not work on our second day - a Sunday - but they had it working within two hours or so with a simple text from me. It was truly a great experience for us.

Nice But Not Perfect
This house has a great location - near the pool and Guest Services, with a view of the golf course. It is well furnished and comfortable. Unfortnately, the A/C webt out on Saturday afternoon and repairs weren’t completed until 9:30pm. We paid premium rates for a holiday weekend. At this point, Vacasa hasn’t offered any type of refund. Our other issue was that the bath tubs on the first and third floors were extremely slippery. Our two year old granddaughter slipped and bumped her head. This problem could easily be solved with bath mats. If I were to rent it again, I would want to know if this has been rectifued.

Sad Disappointment
This place looks nice, but owners have Never addressed any of the problems from All the previous reviews. Ceiling leaks over stove so you can Not cook without Paint and water in your food.
Water Heater still broken, cold showers
No bathmats for bathroom tile floors, very slippery
No Wi-Fi Weak at best
Missing several standard household items.
Smells like Mold from the Water leaks that still leak in kitchen.
Downstairs bedroom is way hotter than the rest of house.
Coffee pot sucks and wont brew, then dumps all at once
Power outlets in dining room and patio blow breakers constantly.
*****Best to look for a house with a caring responsible owner.

Nice unit and property, management lacking
The unit was nice, very comfortable for our two families.
Suggestions:
1) Would have liked to have a table out on the back porch to be able to eat outside.
2) Had a lot of trouble finding the thermostat upstairs in the bunk room the first night (it's not visible - behind a sliding barn door), so it was quite hot up there for the kids.
Our biggest issue is that the hot water heater was not functioning, and we couldn't get ahold of anyone - to help us resolve it. So we had cold water all weekend. Showers, dishwashing, laundry etc. The management company didn't respond to my service request until day 3, at which point it was too late. It turned out to be a simple issue, that we would have happily resolved ourselves (e.g. look at pilot light, switch on heater, check circuit breaker) had someone gotten back to us to help us get into the locked utility room in the absence of an available service team.
Vacasa refunded a portion of our trip costs in response to the inconvenience, but there are definitely some wrinkles that need to be ironed out with the management company for things to run smoother for guests paying a premium to stay at Palmilla.

Wonderful Family Getaway
The property was great for our family trip that included 5 kids. The sheets on most of the beds were still wet when we arrived, but nothing that would spoil the excitement of arriving at the beach. The property is very close to the pool and the beach access was not too far. Loved the amenities available at the resort. Lots of beach toys available in the garage (we added to the collection). The kitchen and utensils were perfect for cooking family meals. Looking forward to returning.

Great location and home
We loved this house, it was perfect for us! A few things I wish the company had made a bit easier (extra toiletpaper, a vaccuum, a code to the garage out back, etc) I am giving 4/5 solely because I don’t think Vacasa is easy to get ahold of like you can on Airbnb. I messaged them a couple of times and never heard back. But that missing star has nothing to do with the house itself, it was beautifully decorated, really nice and really clean!
