Great location and house!
8.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed our stay except for one misleading benefit. We were told we had PRIVATE beach access. When you get down to the beach you are quickly pushed down to the crowded public beach. I have stayed in Magnolia Cottages for several years and have always had PRIVATE beach access. That’s been a big draw for me coming back year after year. Not sure I will be returning because of this BIG change. It really left me with negative overall experience. LOVE the area, quaint cottages and family atmosphere. That needs to be communicated appropriately.

This amazing house was perfect for a week long getaway to the most beautiful beaches in the souther US. The house was immaculate and the location was perfect being just a few steps from the beach and a pool. 10/10 would stay here again!

We come to the 30A area often, and this might be our favorite house we’ve rented! It’s tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.
We typically try to stay on the beach side because of the accessibility with kids. The walk to the beach from this house is very easy, and this is with two toddlers and a 5 year old. Keep in mind you do have to come down a large dune, so be prepared for a lot of steps.
The home is nicely decorated and comfortable. It was well stocked. All of the bedrooms are located on the first floor with the living and kitchen upstairs. The home had plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids.
We will definitely rent again!

Beautiful home in a relaxing neighborhood, just steps to the pool & a few more to the perfect beach day! Home had all the amenities & was very comfortable for all in our multi-generational famil

The property was great, nicely laid out and well furnished. Only issue and a minor one was the fan in the guest bedroom with two twin beds did not work. Either due to mechanical issues, but I think it was battery in remote. Otherwise great, close to everything we love to do. Pool diagonally across street and beach access directly across the road!
Last thing I will say and I think it’s an area issue and not the unit but cell reception (Verizon?) was absolutely terrible and quite the challenge in house, parking apps, and in shops and restaurants. 30A needs to step up their infrastructural! Would easily stay here again. Thanks

The location, amenities, and property were exactly what we were looking for. The property was perfect for our family of 5. Outside the crowds right at Rosemary/Seacrest/Alys while being walkable and bikeable to East and west communities. We also enjoyed the access to a private beach where we did not have to fight for a spot during spring break. Another bonus was the majority of renters in this area were families. We felt confident letting our 3 kids go back and forth to the house without us.

I stayed with my wife and two kids. Magnolia Cottages are in a quiet location right across from the beach. We had access to the pool and beach was 5 min walk away. Property was well kept and property manager was prompt to reply to a couple questions we had. We enjoyed renting bikes and exploring the area and then grilling out on the charcoal Webber. Grocery store close by and great location for our family. Each bedroom had its own bathroom plus a half bath upstairs as well so this made getting ready a snap and save a lot of time. We’ll seriously consider again for our next visit.

Beach access was just a few minutes away!! Easy to get in and out of neighborhood. Neighborhood was extremely quiet. The pool temperature was amazing. The weather was a little chill. So perfect to sit on the beach then was off and head to the pool!! Great home!! Fabulous location to Seacrest, Alys, and Rosemary!Home had everything I needed and more for my family of 6! Second home stayed at in this neighborhood and will continue to stay!!

Hard to beat!
I had two homes. Both were very clean. no maintenance problems,
everything seemed to be working properly, 5 minute walk to the beach, really can't come up with even one complaint.
Highly recommend.

Great location off 30a
Property was perfect for our family get away. On the "quieter" side of 30A. The host was very quick to answer questions we had and the property was very clean.

Perfect Location...
The house was just as described. It was VERY hot in Florida (we come every year) with over 90% humidity at times. The home did get warm (top floor) during the day but cooled down at night. Homeowner was very responsive when we called questioning if it was something we were doing. He came by while we were out and checked everything to make sure everything was as it should be and was able to adjust the speed on the extremely high ceiling fan. That helped a lot. We would keep the drapes closed during the hottest part of the day as well and kept all shades/drapes closed on bottom floor as well. This kept the house cool. Having TVs in all the rooms was a bonus. We only got rain once while we were here, YAY! The neighborhood is quiet with only families or well behaved adults. There were no issues at all, which I cannot say for some places we have stayed. There is a light going up at Watersound Parkway so we dealt with a LOT of traffic going into Rosemary, opposite end of Seaside. Grocery shop and make lunches. Restaurants were all on an hour or longer wait. One suggestion...there is a motion light at the back entrance but it did not always work and it is VERY DARK in the evenings. Great for sleep but dangerous coming in late.

Perfect spot on 30A!
This house was perfect for our family. The layout worked well for us, and there was more than enough space for our group of five. The communication with the property manager was quick and friendly. We especially appreciated the prompt response after I accidentally broke the glass coffee pot; a new one was brought to us the next morning! The home is lovely and the location is just what we wanted. It is biking distance to the popular spots, but not in the middle of the crowd. We enjoyed cooking in on most nights. The kitchen and dining area was well suited for that. We had a wonderful time!!!

Perfect place for the family!
The property was in a great location with a short walk to the beach and very close to the property pool. The house had everything that we needed, was clean, and had more than enough space for a family of five. Very close drive to Rosemary Beach although it would be a long walk. Overall, we loved it and would stay here again!

Great place to stay
The house was a stone's throw from the pool, and short 2-3 minute walk to the beach. House was clean, and could easily sleep 8ppl. Our family of 4 had more space that we needed, but liked being able to spread out a bit and use all the space.
Eric the property manager was very friendly and helpful.
Would highly recommend renting chairs for the week in order to reserve your space on the beach.
Area is quiet and relaxed, but 10-15 minute bike ride to either The Hub or Rosemary Beach if you want to shop or dine.
Would definitely come back.

Great place for a family beach trip!
The house is lovely with everything you would need - even better than the pictures. Check-in/out is seamless with good communication if needed. Short walk to the beach.

Great location in Magnolia cottages.
Location is really great. Your just diagonally across from the front pool and a 3 minute or less walk to the private boardwalk to the beach. I would suggest renting chairs to make the beach easy. The 4 porches are nice , especially the one off the master bedroom. Very lush back yard area with potted ferns to finish out the isolated feeling all while being only a few steps from the cobblestone roadway. It was fun to spend time out there . The beds were comfortable and we had all we needed in the kitchen. The property manager was courteous and very responsive to anything we asked for.

A Hidden Gem!
What a wonderful beach house! Excellent location with a short walk to the beach. Kitchen was very well stocked, owner thought of everything. Loved the layout with multiple porches and separate living space from bedrooms. Not a far drive to the HUB or Seaside - would definitely stay here again!

Great Neighborhood Short Walk to Beach
The property was very well kept and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and has access to a shared pool which was nice. It is a great location that is convenient to The Hub, Aly’s Beach, and Rosemary Beach. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Great week
We had such a nice stay. The house was just as described and we didn’t have a single issue. We loved the space - perfect for two families of four. The house was super close to the pool and the beach was less than a 5 min walk. The owner was very responsive and helpful - esp when we found ourselves without beach chair rentals at the last minute. The beach was great - not at all crowded as compared to other areas of 30A. Overall a great vacation!

Family Getaway
We recently stayed at this home for a family get away. The pictures really do not do this home justice. It was perfect. The outdoor shower came in very handy with our impromptu trips to the beach. I was really scared that the tropical storm would ruin our vacation but the house was so close to the beach we were able to get some quality time in. The community was nice and welcoming and not far from groceries and shopping. My older kids had no problems renting bikes to adventure out on their own. It was perfect for what we needed and the beds we soo comfy! Overall it was a great stay and experience.

Excellent Beach Visit
The house was amazing. The house is very spacious and located in close proximity to public beach access. The property was very clean and well taken care of.
If I have to offer one critique; it is that the parking is tight for two full size vehicles but we managed just fine.

Paradise!
Our family spent a wonderful week at The Corner Cottage. We were the first renters to enjoy all the recent updates, and they were lovely! The house was super clean, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We loved the layout of the house and all the porches were great. The location couldn’t have been better for us too. Thank you for a peaceful and fun week, Corner Cottage! We can’t wait to return!

AMAZING!!
We were very fortunate to have stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time. The neighborhood was busy but quiet. Easy walk to the beach. We had planned on cooking most of our meals, but found several eating establishments close by. But, the kitchen is well equipped for whatever you wished to cook or bake. The photos on the VRBO site do not do it justice. It is very homey and comfortable. We did run short of paper towels and bathroom tissue. And the hand and bath soaps are skimpy. Also, remember to bring your own shampoo and conditioner.

Well appointed beach house
My wide and I enjoyed staying here for a week with our kids (4 ages 10 to 18) which is a 5 minute walk from the beautiful beach along 30-A.

Great Floorplan
Overall, we really liked this property. We have stayed in several of the cottages over the last 10 years, and this floor plan was great for our family. The only negative was a bit of a safety concern for young kiddos, there are no deadbolts on any of the outside doors and my four year old figured out very quickly how to open the front doors and patio doors, so that is the only thing I would have changed. There are also no locks on any of the interiors doors. However I am sure that would only matter to a small group of people who stay there. We had a great time though, super close to the pool, and beach.

Nice!
Everything was great! Loved how all the bedrooms were on main floor & living area & kitchen were upstairs. Beach access is not far from house, a nice 3 minute walk... we just had to walk down the beach a bit because the beach is reserved for another place as you step off the beach access. Overall was a great stay!!

30A Vacation 2017
Loved the house and location. Everything that was needed was in the house. The layout in the house was available. The only draw back was the slow internet. My daughter was in college and had online course work and hard to send in assignments. Would love to stay again with the access to the beach and pool.
