Our family had the best stay at Sugar Magnolia! The home was beautifully appointed with so many thoughtful details, including beach towels and gear, bikes, children’s items, and a well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The owners prepared a binder with home orientation info and 30A recommendations which we referenced throughout our trip. We were also incredibly impressed with the cleanliness - the home was spotless! And, the location was perfect! We were just a few houses away from the pool and right across the street from the private beach access. Prior to our arrival, our host even provided contact info for the beach vendor so that we could reserve beach chairs and umbrellas ahead of time. Our host responded promptly to any questions and with 30A suggestions. This level of communication made our experience completely seamless. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Sugar Magnolia and would highly recommend to anyone!

Great beach cottage!

We had a wonderful stay! Very quiet and comfortable. Loved sitting on the screened porch and enjoyed using the provided bikes for morning and evening rides. Perfect area for staying between Panama City and Destin. We have stayed in this community many times before but this was closest to the beach access than the other homes.

Amazing Family Beach Vacay

We've stayed in the Magnolia Cottages by the Sea neighborhood many times, but this was by far the best property we've visited. The bathrooms are beautiful and the whole house is updated. The kitchen was well equipped, and the shed was full of beach toys, chairs, etc. Also, the host Megan was outstanding. We didn't have any issues at all, but she was very responsive and welcoming.

Fantastic, convenient, comfortable beach house

We had a great time! The proximity of the house to the beach can’t be beat. The layout was easy for our family to enjoy. The beds and couches were comfortable. There were plenty of towels. Overall the house was cute and delivered on our needs. The only downside is there were no kid-friendly plastic plates, bowls or cups.

First family vacation

Thank you for a wonderful place to stay on our very first vacation as a family of 5 plus 1 very special Nana! We loved calling this sweet blue cottage home for the week while we had fun playing in the sun, building castles in the sand and making lots and lots of memories! The house was the perfect size for us and was very well furnished with comfy beds, cute decorations, and perfect outdoor seating areas! We had everything we needed in the well appointed kitchen to prepare meals in on several nights, but was super close to lots of restaurants and Publix too! We certainly appreciated the quick access to the beach without the hassle of schlepping our beach gear very far! We loved our stay and will consider a stay here again!

Amazing property near Rosemary Beach

Our family of 5 just returned from our stay at Sugar Magnolia and really enjoyed our time there. The property was beautiful, clean and well appointed. The host was very attentive to our needs and always responded quickly to any questions we had. The shed was filled with beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, 4 beach cruiser bikes and a bike trailer for our 5 year old daughter. The location was great with only a short 10-15 minute bike ride to the restaurants and shops in Alys and Rosemary beaches to the east and to the west about 10 minutes, there is a really cool outdoor mall with restaurants called The Chill that is a great place to get food and hang out. It was just a short walk across the street from the house to the boardwalk that leads to a beautiful private beach. We definitely would recommend this property and are already trying to plan a trip back.

great house, very small/crowded beach access

We had a lovely trip, this house was well suited to our 2 small families with young children. The kids loved the bunk room. We had some issues with the A/C that were dealt with promptly. The shed was well stocked with chairs, bikes, umbrellas, and boogie boards. Kitchen was also very well stocked, including plastic plates/bowls/cups for kids which was nice. The gated beach access is only a short walk away, but there is only a very small area where Magnolia Cottage guests are allowed, as it is private beach on either side, and since the new Walton County ordinance, they are very strict about property lines. Not an easy place area to get a socially distanced, let alone water-front, spot. I would recommend renting chairs from La Dolce Vita to get a nice spot.

Totally Awesome

This was our first time at the Florida panhandle, and we were very blessed to get the best vacation home our first time there. We needed a place where my husband could relax, where our three kids (ages 6, 11, and 13) could have fun, and where we were in close proximity to the beach as well as restaurants and a grocery store. But we also didn’t want to be near high-rises or hustle and bustle. This home was perfect for us. The owners clearly care that their renters feel at home and that all their needs are met. The home is beautiful, clean, very comfortable, has everything you need for cooking meals, has games and movies, has beach chairs and umbrellas, has four adult bikes, is less than 10 minutes from Publix, is a 2-minute walk to the beach, is an easy bike ride to restaurants and shops, and all in all was everything we wanted in a vacation home. We spent five wonderful days relaxing at the beach, riding bikes to lunch or dinner, playing games, reading, and eating at “home”, and then repeating the process all over again. We have no complaints with this home. The home also has a very good “feel” to it. We’d stay here again without hesitation. Thanks for helping make our vacation awesome!
