Our cozy, clean, well-maintained cottage is tucked inside the family-friendly Magnolia Cottages neighborhood along the Florida Panhandle's scenic Highway 30A. The neighborhood pool is steps from our door. The spectacular beach across 30A is a 5-minute walk away. A private boardwalk and staircase leads down to white sand and the prettiest water in all of North America.

When the surf is up, you can hear it from our large, screened-in porch. Unlike some other developments on 30A, Magnolia Cottages preserved much of the natural vegetation -- palmettos, pine trees, scrub oaks, etc. -- between the houses and along its cobblestone streets.

Our cottage has beautiful pine floors. The fully-stocked kitchen island is integrated into the communal family room; the efficient set-up is perfect for cooking dinners at home. Eat along the island, at the dining room table, or at the table on the porch.

The master bedroom has a king bed and full bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed and full bath. The third bedroom -- which our kids have claimed as the kids' room -- has two full-size beds and a TV mounted on the wall (the other bedrooms do not have TVs). A third bathroom, with a shower, is located next to the kids' room. It's configured perfectly for one or two families, assuming the kids don't mind sharing a bedroom. (Kids are great -- but no pets, please!)

We carefully furnished and decorated our cottage to be a welcoming, enjoyable place after a day at the beach or for staying in during a rainy afternoon (listening to the rain on the porch is like a real-life white-noise machine).

We provide two adult-sized, one-speed beach cruiser bicycles for leisurely rides through the neighborhood or along the bike path that runs alongside Highway 30A.

We're located toward the quieter, eastern end of 30A, which typically sees less traffic than stretches further west. The shops and dining of Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, the Hub, Seaside and Grayton Beach, as well as the dunes and often deserted beach of Deer Lake State Park, are minutes away.

Our driveway has room for two vehicles to park side-by-side. Magnolia Cottages does not allow parking on the street.

We book our property ourselves. Our property managers are readily available for any issues that may arise; they are in the neighborhood most days.

We sneak away to this house as much as we can to exhale, relax and enjoy the amazing beach, water and air. We hope you do as well!

Note: As they are throughout Florida, the beaches in our area are a mix of private and public beaches. Access to some stretches of 'private' beach is more rigorously restricted than for others, but we've never had a problem finding plenty of space to set up on the sand.

    We’ve been staying in Magnolia Cottages for the past fifteen years, we love these homes. The neighborhood has easy access to the beach and restaurants. The cleanliness of this home was perfect. It was stocked with everything we needed. The host was easy to communicate with and check in was seamless. We will definitely be coming back!

    The accommodations were wonderful! Clean & plenty of space, comfortable bedding & close to the beach! We used the beach chairs and the bikes- super convenient. My only disappointment was that there was VERY little dishwashing liquid, for hand washing dishes and only 1-2 dishwashing tabs and only 2 trash bags . For a 6 night stay, it would have been nice not to have to go out & buy these items…

    We loved our stay! The cottage had plenty of space for 3 teens and 4 adults. The pool is just steps away from the property, and the beach is a short walk. The cottage was very clean, well maintained and beautifully furnished. Would definitely book again!

    The location was wonderful—peaceful, quiet, with easy access to the pool and a short distance to the beach. The host provided a detailed and helpful guide ahead of our arrival, though we did still find the door locks a bit tricky to figure out exactly how to lock at first. We really appreciated the ability to use the two bicycles and beach gear. One thing that could have made the stay even better would be having TVs in all the bedrooms. Overall, a great experience!

    Excellent location. Close proximity to the beach with easy beach access (underestimated how close it really was). Nice shared pool. Loved the wooded area behind the house for porch sitting. Highly recommend.

    We loved the location and neighborhood!!! The house was lovely and the kitchen was well stocked. I would have liked to have a tv in bedroom. Loved the bikes!! The shed was stocked with beach gear, however some of the beach gear was pretty worn. The pool was super convenient. Would definitely stay again!! Thanks for a great stay!!!

    This was our first time to 30A and it was perfect! I was nervous about choosing a place to stay because of all the public vs. private beach access information, but this house proved to be the best choice! Close to the beach, close to the pool, the house was beautiful and cozy and provided everything we needed! The hosts are excellent and the communication they provide is top notch! I received a PDF with clear instructions and a comprehensive guide to the area. The beach access was easy and the recommendations the host provided on rentals and how to navigate things made our planning easy. We will book here again for any future 30A trips!

    Property as described. Very coopertive owners. Definitely would book again. The only improvement would be a rail on the stairs to the entry.
