Las Casitas on Magnolia Beach is a Chalet style Duplex that holds two different Casitas that our guest can rent individually or together (if both are available). They have two separate listings to identify them for renting purposes, Casita A and Casita B. This listing is to rent Casita A.
Casita A is a charming 660 SF two bedroom, one bath Chalet that has everything you need to have a relaxing getaway to the Texas Gulf Coast. Being that Casita A is only 300 ft to the shore of Matagorda Bay and has huge picture windows, it allows our guest to enjoy amazing views of Sunrises over the Bay, Sunsets over Marsh Land, views of passing ships, sightings of many varieties of birds and even views of the occasional visit of dolphins... all sitting with your cup of coffee inside the Casita or Balcony. Built in 2019, Casita A has an efficient open floor plan, fully equipped Kitchen, comfortable beds, soft linens and towels, Fiber Wi-Fi, Roku TV on each bedroom, great AC and Heating, plenty of parking for vehicles and boats/trailers among other amenities. Just a great set up to have a comfortable and relaxing time while you getaway from your daily routine.
On Check-In day, once the space is ready for your group, I will contact you with a unique access code to open the door. Check in is at 4 PM and Check out is at 11 AM.
My husband and I live next to Las Casitas on Magnolia Beach. We will likely meet and will be available to support our guest through their stay.
Magnolia Beach is a rural Matagorda Bay community of Port Lavaca, TX that is perfect to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Driving down Ocean Drive will give you a sense of being in a peninsula with Matagorda Bay on one side and Marsh Land and Bayous on the other side. The sittings of different variety birds is unreal. This is a true disconnect type of place, so even though is ideal for fishing, hunting, boating, kayaking, biking, birding you will need to bring your gear as there are not commercial rental places around. It's important that you bring water shoes to get in the water or walk the shore since our public beach has tiny Sea Shell as sand. This area is loaded with Texas History since in the 1800s many German Immigrants came through the Indianola Port (few miles south from our house). The port was destroyed by several Hurricanes in the late 1800s pushing many of the settlers to move inland. You can still drive by the ruins of the Court House of the growing town that once was.
