Bring your boat and your can launch it into the bay across the street. There is a hike and bike network of trails in La Porte as well.

Whether you need a home base to explore what the bay area of the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer or you want a quiet house near the beach to relax with your family and friends, Casita Azul is your place!

There are two parking spaces on site. You can park three cars if you tandem park two of them on the left side of the driveway. Sylvan Beach park is a quiet neighborhood that enjoys a view of the bay. Bring your bicycle and enjoy riding through the quaint neighborhood. A hike and bike path is not far away which connects you to other parts of La Porte. There is a Kroger 1.5 miles down Fairmont Parkway. Within walking distance is the Sylvan Beach Grocery and Cuban Cafe which offers sandwiches and expresso. If you love fabric and quilts, there is also a great quilt shop nearby called Painted Pony Quilts! We are conveniently located off Hwy. 146 which connects to major roads such as Hwy 225, Interstate 10 or Interstate 45. Beltway 8 is also close! I am not on site, but live pretty close by. I am happy to answer questions, give recommendations, or tips via text or phone. We don't need to meet but, I can meet face to face if needed. I love to travel and explore. There are so many great things the La Porte area has to offer I'd love to share with you. We have a keyless entry system so you can self check in and check out. If you need a special check in or out please specify in your inquiry and I will do my best to accommodate your request as long as it does not conflict with another guest's reservation. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate groups over 8. Our beach cottage just cannot handle any more. We love pets, but limit the number of pets to two. I can offer a pack n' play, but it must be requested upon reservation. Monitoring Devices: We value your privacy. The following is a full disclosure of any recording devices inside or outside the home. We have a Ring video doorbell located at the front door and facing the driveway. We have a camera on the roof directed at the boat ramp that allows us to monitor the weather and tides. We also use a humidity sensor located in the living room behind the wooden chair to monitor the humidity and temperature in the house due the proximity to the coast. We have a rain gauge in the back corner of the yard and an anemometer on the roof which monitors wind speeds.
