About this house rental
Welcome to Magnolia House & Guest Cottage
This beautiful vacation home offers the perfect space for 3-4 families or if your group is all adults, up to 12 will be most comfortable here.
You’ll find 3 bedrooms & 2 ½ baths in the main house, and 2 more bedrooms + loft & 2 baths in the separate guest house. The main house and guest house are only rented together, and they both offer living/dining space and fully equipped kitchens! It’s the ideal arrangement for large groups to vacation together, but still have some private space too. Your group can enjoy time together by the private pool - and the pristine white sand beach is just one block away!
When you enter the main house, you’ll step into a spacious and bright open living area with loads of seating! Large leather queen sleeper sofas and additional chairs and tables invite your large group to relax together -- maybe watch sports or a movie on the extra large SMART TV. The sleeper sofas feature memory foam mattresses. You’ll appreciate the fireplace, shiny tile floors and professional decor. Move into the open dining area with a large table with chairs and bench seating for up to 8, maybe 10. Five barstools are close-by at the open kitchen bar area.
The fully-equipped kitchen offers plenty of granite counter space for prep, cooking and dining and features stainless appliances. You’ll find everything you need to prepare your favorite vacation meals - pots, pans, utensils, as well as a toaster, blender, hand mixer and microwave. We even include salt, pepper, creamer, sugar and a few spices to get your started. There’s a Keurig D-cup coffee maker, as well as a regular drip coffee maker. And when dinner’s ready, you’ll find all the glasses, plates, bowls, and flatware you need to set the perfect table.

VRBO Review
We started planning our family vacation well over a year in advance. After finally deciding on Destin we spent another several weeks looking for the perfect place to stay, and did we ever find it! It was set-up perfectly for our family, three bedrooms in the main house with 4 beds and a two bedroom pool house with a loft. Both houses were fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need in a home away from home. Amazingly, no matter what we needed, we didn’t look for long. It was there and right where you’d expect it to be.
The owners of the home were great! They welcomed us to Destin, texting us when the house was available and allowed us to check-in early. They also invited us to text or call if we ran into any issues. We did text back and forth a few times, but only to ask advice about Destin. Never to report any complaints or issues with the vacation home.
There was 11 adults and a toddler the entire week. The houses provided the perfect amount of space; enough to provide the privacy everyone needed and more than enough space for us all to be in the same room or around the pool without being on top of each other. And towels! There were plenty of towels for all of us; bath towels, hand towels and washcloths by the dozens.
There really are too many positive things about this VRBO to mention, however this maybe the most important; location! It’s near everything! You can’t go wrong by choosing this rental! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

The Magnolia House was exactly what we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find the house fully stocked. Our family enjoyed the short walk to the beach in the morning and the backyard pool in the afternoon. The house is spacious and very comfortable. Kim was very attentive and accommodating.

5.0
Our 3 generations loved staying at this property. The house was a close walk to the beach, even with small children. It was convenient to shopping and great restaurants, some within easy walking distance. The pool was a hit with my eight grandchildren ages 5 to 13. The guest house was beautiful and well appointed. Kim made sure that we were happy and all our needs were met. A memorable week!
5.0
Everything I could ask for! Every time I come back to visit home, I stay in Crystal Beach. This is the first beach house fully stocked! Hand soaps, pots & pans, anything you may have forgotten. It was perfect for our needs. My littles and I stayed in the main house and the guest house was perfect for my nieces and friends that would visit on different nights.
5.0
Honestly, I could not have been any happier with this choice. From the accommodations and comfort of the home, (beds are so comfy) to the proximity of the house to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and neighborhood. You can easily walk a block to the beach or around the corner to a great little sidewalk cafe and restaurant! I cannot forget to mention that Kim the owner is a most gracious host and made communication easy. Thank you again Kim, and also for the lovely gift sent at Thanksgiving!

The house was amazing, the hostess Kim was awesome! We had a big family and a few little kids, we all enjoyed our vacation! The only con was the public beach access, there wasn't much space because of the condos roped off areas with the beach chairs and umbrellas.
2.5
We loved everything about the Magnolia Cottage! The communication was excellent and we were treated to special gifts and treats as well! Having a beautiful home to come back to after a fun beach day was exactly what we needed. Kim is wonderful and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Highly recommend!!

Annual family trip 2021 was a BLAST! The house and the owner is absolutely Heaven sent! The property is so PERFECT the other renters on the street pass by asking can they join us at the most beautiful house on the street! We wanted for nothing while hear for the week! Close to the beach! In fact, you can see the water if you walk to the end of the driveway! Gorgeous decor! everything you needed and more! The owner, Is an ANGEL! I love her! I feel like I have gained a friend for life! She is the sweetest person! I only wish I could give it a 20 instead of a 5, that just does not do it justice!
2.5
Everyone enjoyed the property, the amenities and especially the location. We will definitely do it again next year.
2.5
My husband, two year old and parents absolutely loved Kim’s house! Kim went above and beyond to make our first, post-isolation vacation a dream. We stayed in the main house and my parents had their own space in the guest house. The houses were perfect for getting together for dinner or meeting by the pool during the day. Kim allows dogs and the house was spotless. We walked to the beach every day - super quick walk. The house was fully stocked upon arrival and getting groceries delivered was a breeze. 10/10 - we will definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Destin!
2.5
We really enjoyed our time on the property. The owner checked in with us regularly to make sure all of our expectations were met. The location was great, very near the beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
