About this house rental
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 loved our stay in this quiet neighborhood! Super easy access to beach. House was spotless and well stocked. We would love to stay here again next summer.

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!

Our family had a great vacation here. The location is amazing, very quiet and private, but still close to all the towns and restaurants. The pool was nice and the walk to the beach was only a few minutes! The house was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the screened in porch! Our only small complaint was that the rug in the living room hadn’t been vacuumed and there was some small pieces of maybe dog kibble on it? Besides that random thing, the place was spotless. Rooms and beds were comfortable and having laundry was a great plus. Thank you so much, we hope to be back one day! 10/10.

The house was very nice and comfortable, all was great with the property, the neighborhood was really nice as well. But it was a little too far away from shopping and restaurants

So happy with the accommodations. Well stocked and homey. Loved the shed with toys bikes and floats. It has a charcoal grill so we did steaks one night. I would get up early and take short walk to the beach h to watch the sunrise. Great access to pool. So grateful to have this time with our kids and grandson. He had magnets that he used on the road cofee table. Such a great time!!

We loved our stay! House was perfect for our family and friends. The location is absolutely perfect--5 min walk to the beach and we did not have any trouble finding a perfect spot to sit front row to the water. Also, perfect for our teens to bike down to Rosemary (1.5 mile bike ride) for the day. We loved being close enough for our kids (and us) to bike down but far enough away from the crowds!! Also, the shed had bikes and chairs and everything needed to enjoy our stay. Communication with owners was great. I would highly recommend this place. Hurry and book!

18 Kareny Lane in Magnolia Cottages was a wonderful experience. It was me, my husband and our daughter and son--in-law with our 16 and 12 year old granddaughers. The bedrooms were so comfortable and beautifully decorated throughout the cottage. It was a perfect distance from the beach and luckily the weather was gorgeous the entire stay. We hated to leave after 7 days. We enjoyed all the beach gear in the shed and played games at night. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your home. Best vacation!!

Summer bliss
What a great way to start our kids summer vacation! Such a cute house and functional layout. Beach is a bit of a walk when lugging all tour stuff but the gorgeous color of the water when you get there is we’ll worth it. My son learned to swim in the pool which is a short walk from the house. Quick bike ride on the path to The Hub, Alys beach, or Rosemary beach. Fun things to do include looking for crabs after dark, yoga at Raw & Juicy Friday 7am, and dinner in Watercolor. It was heaven and we didn’t want to leave! Thank you Mary!

Memorial Day Weekend
We just loved this house! The living area and kitchen were nicely furnished and well-designed. The beds were very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch! Close proximity to the beach makes this property particularly desirable. Finally-loved the quiet peacefulness of the neighborhood. Would stay here again!

Great Cozy Beach House with Lots of Privacy

Perfect house with amazing pillows and sheets
This was one of the best properties we’ve stayed at on 30A. It was a little walk (5mins) to the beach which we all appreciated so much to get our blood flowing after being cooped up in our homes for so many months. We are going to book it again in 2022. Thank you Mary!

It’s the little details!
Property was clean and well kept and just as described. The extra little details that the owner thought of is what we loved! So many chairs for the beach, pool toys, library of books, games for all ages, equipment for the grill, even tote bags for the beach, and every cooking utensil we needed! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Moms/daughter’s vacation
Overall the house was lovely, clean, and great space for 6 adult ladies. Easy walk to beach access, but disappointed that it was a bit of a walk past all the private only beaches and very crowded public beaches. (Would have liked to know that detail when booking). Would like to visit again at a less busy time of the year.

Great Stay!
We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house was clean and homey. The back porch was perfect to sit and enjoy the mornings and evenings (or just unwind after an afternoon at the beach). The kitchen had new pots and pans (bring oil, they are not non-stick), the beds were all super comfortable, and the walk to the beach was close and easy. If you are looking for a great house to stay in, this one was perfect! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Perfect!
From the first contact with the owner, the stay could not have been more perfect! Great, quiet location with every amenity you could need. Comfy bed and a fabulous porch. Had a great nap or two there! Thank you for the hospitality.

Fantastic stay!
Tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable with a lovely screened porch/Florida room. Close to the beach and heated community pool. Lots of beach and pool gear to borrow. Loved cycling along the 30A on the bikes. We had such a relaxing time - can't wait to return.

Wonderful cottage in the palmetto trees
This cute cottage cheese as well equipped to make our stay very comfortable. The only downside was, the cleaning lady started cleaning about 45 minutes before our check-in. She wasn’t finished, and we had to stand outside waiting for her to finish for about 20 minutes past the allotted check-in time. After being on a long car ride, being able to get inside without the floors being all wet would have been nice. Other than that, our stay was perfect. This particular cottage has lots of beach equipment and two beach cruiser bikes that came in handy. We will be back!

Magnolia Cottages
Very nice, well appointed cottage. Felt right at home. Perfect location, and a hop-skip to the beach. Appreciated the quietness away from 30A, though very close. We chose this cottage based on NOT having a room of bunkbeds. For older children, it was perfect to have the option of full size beds, vs bunkbeds. Not for everyone, but perfect for our situation. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks SO much.

Very nice place, close to the swimming pool, and a reasonable walk to the beach. Great location in terms of being nearby amenities, but a little away from the larger crowds. Enjoyed it, wish we could have stayed longer!

Very Comfortable and Fun Home
My family of five (children aged 10, 7, 4) had a lovely week-long stay at this lovely home! We have stayed in the Magnolia Cottages annually since 2012, and this home was among our favorites. The furnishings were stylish and comfortable. It was great having a smart tv in the kids room where we could use our netflix. The kitchen was well-appointed with nothing lacking. I appreciated, in particular, a variety of lidded pyrex containers that we could use for leftovers etc. The shed was well-stocked with items we could borrow for the beach. Everyone slept very well, and I appreciated the nice blackout curtains in the master bedroom!
We'd love to return to this home again in the future, and are thankful to the owners for sharing their space with us!

In town for a wedding
The property was perfect. It was exactly as it said in the listing. Very clean and accommodating. It was a bonus having the beach chairs and umbrella to enjoy a day at the beach!
