Make your reservation now to stay near one of Frommer's top destinations in 2010 - and one of Yahoo's best beaches in the world - the beaches of the Florida Panhandle at Santa Rosa Beach : "Stunning beaches, nature trails ... great restaurants, and a cozy, yet quirky, sense of community." -- Lesley Abravanel, author Frommer's Florida.
"Sweet Magnolia" is like no other house in Old Florida Village! Unlike many homes in this area, this home was never built for rental - so numerous luxury upgrades were included - one of many reasons this home has a high demand for rentals every year - many return again after their first visit !
Sweet Magnolia rents Sat-to-Sat during Spring & Summer.
Beach Access: 6/10's of a mile - a 10 minute walk, 5 minute bike ride or 1 minute car ride across the street. The Gulfview Heights Public Beach Access has plenty of parking, clean restrooms and life guards (during Summer). Includes FREE WIFI !
NEW THIS YEAR ! Each rental of this home now includes a free "Savers Card" which adds substantial savings to your trip, simply present the card to our preferred vendors and watch the savings stack up ! When booking don't forget to ask about this valuable coupon book.
Furnished with designer furniture, including the porch, this Florida cottage is nothing short of luxurious comfort and class with a touch of beach coziness. Also, one of the neighborhood's two pools is located only three houses away!
The downstairs has 20" porcelain tile laid on the diagonal while the upstairs has thick upgraded carpet. There is crown molding throughout, custom painted cabinetry, plantation shutters and all the plumbing and lighting fixtures (almost all lighting is connected to dimmer switches) have been upgraded including 25 recessed lights for a true luxury feel.
The living, dining and kitchen areas are downstairs and have been professionally decorated with up-scaled comfortable and cozy furnishings. All three bedrooms are located upstairs giving you peace and quiet for those long afternoon vacation naps! Also, Sweet Magnolia has three porches for enjoying those warm summer nights.
Of all the various floor plans Old Florida Village has to offer, this house has the largest kitchen which makes cooking big vacation meals fun and easy for all. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an oversized under-mount stainless steel sink.
The master bedroom is also the largest compared to all of the other floor plans, featuring a king size bed and a spacious walk-in closet with double shelving. There is also a private balcony accessed only through the master bedroom.
The master bath has a large shower with dual shower heads and a corner seat. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has four bunk beds. There are two hot water heaters so you don't have to worry about cold showers and the water pressure is strong enough for both showers to be used simultaneously!
Sweet Magnolia's other creature comforts include: surround-sound stereo, flat screen LCD televisions, DVD players, large wrap-around porch with a ceiling fan, an outside shower with both hot and cold water lines for easy rinsing of sand from the beach, gas grill, coffee maker, blender, toaster, iron with ironing board, full size washer and dryer, unlimited long distance telephone service, and FREE WIFI !

THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING AREAS:
Old Florida Village is a 75 cottage community with two pools (one of which is just three houses from Sweet Magnolia), white picket fencing, natural landscaping, brick paved streets and meandering walking paths. It is located on Scenic Hwy 30-A in Santa Rosa Beach between Gulf Place Town Center/Amphitheatre and Goatfeathers Restaurant.
Old Florida Village was modeled after the famed Seaside community which is where The Truman Show with Jim Carey was filmed. Grayton/Watercolor/Seaside/Seagrove is just 10 minutes to the east and Seacrest Beach and Rosemary Beach is another ten minutes past Seaside. There is only one road into the neighborhood which creates a nice private feeling for adults and children. Take a stroll or bike ride around. Convenient bike rentals are available in the area.
Traveling west from Old Florida Village, Sandestin's Baytowne Wharf and Silver Sands Factory Stores (the nation's largest designer outlet mall) are only a ten minute drive and the new Destin Commons Mall and Movie Theater is another five minutes past Silver Sands. The Destin Harbor is approximately thirty minutes from Old Florida Village. In addition to these attractions, there are many golf courses, outdoor music venues, biking and walking trails, and many other activities the whole family can enjoy!

Amazing vacation home!!

Such a fantastic vacation. We don't get the time to vacation often, and believe it or not, this was our first family vacation in many yrs that didn't involve going to visit other family members, and being on a schedule to go here or there.... We only stumbled across "Old Florida Village" on the internet while searching for vacation rentals in our home state of TX. All I can say is, I'm greatful my husband loves to surf the internet. From the minute we saw the pictures we were sold. Everything is exactly what I expected from the minute we walked in the door. From the decor, amenities, and location, this was a fantastic vacation week for our family (And dog). The only thing I wish I could have changed, was to have it right on the beach, but hey, we can't always have everything, but the 10 minute walk to the white sand beach, was actually a great form of daily excercise. We highly recommend, and would definately make it an annual trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you again for the hospitality, and memories we will have. :) Sincerely, A.Tuckness~ Texas

Along with Casey, our cocker spaniel, my husband and I spent a wonderfully relaxing week at Sweet Magnolia! It had plenty of space for us to "spread out" but at the same time was comfortable and cozy. The two pools were lovely and the beach was close by. We ate out a good bit, but enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which had every amenity that we needed. At Sweet Magnolia and while doing and seeing the fun things in Santa Rosa and the surrounding area we made some beautiful memories! Thanks to Mark and the Beach Seekers team!
