  We recently returned from our second vacation at Magnolia Hill and once again it was the perfect house for all of our family and a perfect vacation. The house location is so convenient. It is in a quiet neighborhood but yet close to everything we wanted or needed. The beach is just a short walk away and the porch is so relaxing and the perfect way to spend time with the family. The entire family enjoyed the private pool and all the amenities the house has to offer. There is so much room for everyone to spread out and have their own space but yet a wonderful living room and kitchen combo that allowed us all to be together. Jennifer is a true joy to work with and makes the vacation effortless. We all hope to make this house our yearly vacation destination!!!

  This was our 7th Family Reunion which consists of 5 families. Magnolia Hill [VRBO 35246] provided the best accomodations yet. With 7 BR and 7 Baths plus porch and 2 decks, plus private pool, plus a SPACIOUS combined living, dining and kitchen area, we were very pleased. There was ample parking for six vechicles, and the beach was a short walk away. A constant sea breeze made for a comfortable stay. Highly Recommend.

  Our family loved Magnolia Hill. Eighteen of us, from our 4 year old grandson to my 82 year old mother, were very comfortable and relaxed our week here. The house was clean had plenty of room for all to enjoy. The four children enjoyed playing, watching TV and most of all swimming in the private pool. Lots of pool and beach equipment! The shuffle board was enjoyed by old and young alike. Jennifer has done a great job stocking the kitchen. We cooked almost every meal and had everything we needed. She thought of everything you would need for a large group! We loved the screen porch and spent hours relaxing, talking and laughing together! The house is in a neighborhood yet you have plenty of privacy. The beach was an easy walk, beautiful and not crowded. We have vacationed at the beach together for the past 7 Years and this is the only place we have re-booked for the next year! Everyone agreed it was the best house we have stayed in! Thank you Jennifer for sharing your house! Looking forward to Beach Trip 2013!!!!!

  Magnolia Hill is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach. We stayed a week in this house with 5 families. The second floor kitchen (2 fridges, 2 tables for eating) and open living area is large and roomy; we spent evenings as a group playing games and having fun; our kids played cards every morning on the table in the screened-in porch. We were very comfortable in this house; it has all the amentities of home. Like others, we took advantage of the beach chairs and toys - there is a closet full of options! Our kids were in the pool constantly (we had it heated) but could walk back and forth to the beach without worry. The beauty of the beach goes without saying - you are not in a crowded area and the water is crystal clear. The house is clean and comfortable with a great owner! We are already looking forward to a return visit! We were addicted to the home-made french fries at Johnny McTighes Irish Pub on 30A - make sure to try them! We were also surprised to find the best t-shirts at the liquor store located next door to the pub. If you are looking for a house in a quiet area but close to everything, you just found it.

  Owner response: I will be visiting McTighes next time! Have not made it there yet. Glad all went well. Come back to visit us!

  This was our first vacation with all of my husbands children and grandchildren. This house was just wonderful for all of us, especially the grandchildren. There was enough room for them to have their own rooms with TV's. All of the adults loved the screened sunroom. We could sit out there at night hear the ocean and enjoy talking. Jennifer gave us lots of local information and that was a wonderful help. We stayed the first week in October and the weather couldn't have been better. The only complaint I have iwould be that the week wasn't longer, it ended way too soon.

  This was our first year at Magnolia Hill in Gulf Trace but it won’t be the last. The house was just perfect for our family!! The location is wonderful and the house has all the amenities you could possibly need including a game closet. The screened in porch is fabulous for relaxing after the short walk back from the beach. The owners were terrific to work with and extremely helpful in their recommendations. We will certainly be back!!

  Owner response: So nice to have such wonderful family memories at the beach! We hope you all come back next summer, fall or anytime!

  We are a family of 18 people ranging in age from 9 to one who turned 77 during our stay. The house is perfect for us and makes for a wonderful vacation at the beach. The kids love the pool and the closet full of pool and beach toys. They also enjoyed the games outside and the game closet. The adults sat on the screened porch with the view of the gulf and the gulf breezes. Very relaxing for all. Acess to the beach is close by and the beach was never crowded. I enjoyed having chairs and an umbrella set up each morning on the beach and the price for a week was not bad. The house is very well stocked with dishes and cooking supplies. I enjoyed my dealings with the owners and they made things very easy for me. All in all it is a perfect house for a large family with children of all ages. We enjoyed dining at the local restaurants and visiting shops nearby. The property was clean and well maintained.. .

  Our family really enjoyed our week at this residence. There was plenty of room for everyone to have all the privacy and quiet time everyone wanted. All of the baby equipment at the house was a great help to us as we had two babies under three with us. The beach was beautiful each day and only got rain in the evenings after we came in. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a large, nicely and fully equipped house. It has it all.

  We had 4 families with 2 kids each under the age of 9 and one mother-in-law to make 17 total. The kids loved the bunk room, TVs, pool, shuffleboard, screened in porches, perfect beach and super bike trail. The adults loved the spacious house with fantastic gathering space including kitchen, 2 dining tables and couch/TV area. Among the many great features, the screened in porch and 2 other porches allowed for quiet time too. The pool was perfect and the pool closet had everything a family would need at the beach. The gas grill and kitchen were ideal for preparing a feast for 17 each night. The kitchen had 2 refrigerators for all our goodies. We certainly enjoyed the convenience of the new Publix in Watercolor and Shrimpers for fresh seafood on 98. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The beach was of course perfect after a quick walk. The water was the classic color, the sand was sugar white and everyone enjoyed every minute. This was surely a top ten vacation for our families.
