The backyard pool was completed in March, 2026, to cool off after a day at the beach or shopping - full sun in the morning and shady times in the afternoon. In addition, there are two community pools, shared between 20 or so houses and one is just around the corner. Stroll across the golf cart accessible boardwalk for easy beach access, which is strictly for Royal Sands guests. The boardwalk is an adventure itself in some of the most beautiful dune views, with a short 3-minute walk across to the beach.
The Happy Enchilada is an impeccable place to bring family and friends to experience all Port A has to offer. Approximately 1.7 miles to Palmilla golf course, 2.7 miles to Mustang Beach/Port Aransas Airport, and 3.3 miles to shops, restaurants, and nightlife, and 5.2 miles to the marina and fishing charters.
