Cute Little Cottage

The cottage was perfect and close to the convenience store if anything was forgotten. The home is a little older, blinds were broken, and the couch had plywood that did make it super firm but there were plenty of beds to accommodate 3 out or 4 adults, 2 infants, and a 9 year old boy. The backyard was lovely though it did have broken chairs. Its a cute cottage in a cute beach town. Would DEFINITELY stay again.

Fantastic beach cottage

Fantastic cottage, walk to the beach, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Owners are great and have done a lot to make this a nice beach stay. Have stayed at other places at Magnolia Beach - this is the cleanest, has the most amenities (i.e. comfortable rooms, two toilets, dishwasher, etc.) and is priced well. My kids love it here. You will not find better accommodations at the beach. We will be back

The house was very comfortable! Air conditioning worked GREAT! Beds were nice, tv’s were great. Negatives were the following: as we drove up we could see the broken blinds in the windows-VERY off-putting! Some of the furniture was damaged, a wad of hair in the bathtub on the drain, broken blinds on almost every window, a completely rusted shower curtain rod (could not even slide the curtain to one side) and bathtub faucets that were loose. 100 could have fixed most of those things. Also, it was listed as 15 minutes from Sea Drift, but it was more like 25-30 minutes.

Best Trip Ever!

There was only 1 complaint, and it is very small, the refrigerator was dirty, we had to clean it and dispose of old food when we got there. This is on the cleaning crew and not the owners. The house was so much better than the picture can show. A few of the blinds need to be replaced, but again so small and didn't take away from the awesome and beautiful home they shared with us. I hope to be back every year. Thank you to the owners, it was such a slice of paradise. The Flowers Family.

Perfect house and location

I stayed here for 1 week. The house is adorable and very comfortable. I loved that it had a large kitchen with full sized refrigerator. Everything was spotless and smelled so clean. The house keeper hadn't quite left when i arrived a little early, yet she made me feel so welcomed and she let me bring my things in. My dog and I were both thrilled with the large, grassy back yard that was fully fenced in. The location was an easy 10 minute walk from the beach. The neighborhood was friendly and I felt safe at all times. There was a small convenience store a couple houses away, perfect for snacks and drinks. The marina was a short drive and has a nice little restaurant and dog friendly patio. This was the perfect getaway for peace and quiet and anyone just wanting to relax. I would definitely stay in this exact house again when i come to Magnolia Beach next time.

The place is real close to the beach. Very reasonable pricing. If you have a big family take extra toilet paper and paper towels and lots mosquitoes spray. It's a great weekend get away look foward to going again.

Lovely home

We absolutely loved our stay! Amy has done a beautiful job offering such a wonderful place to get away and relax in. We so loved the beach/ocean theme. And the little sitting area was great. And for those who love a good size kitchen with a large island/breakfast bar...this one was a joy to cook in. We look forward to returning soon!!! Thank you Amy for such a lovely stay!!

About the host

Hosted by George and Amy Mendoza

Host profile image
My wife and I are teachers who just love to be near the coast every opportunity we have. Whether it's kayak fishing or just relaxing, the water is where we love to be.

Why they chose this property

I've been coming down here for near 20 years. Introduced this place to my wife about 3 years ago and she was hooked. We came down so much we decided to buy a place because we spent so much renting places to stay. We love kayak fishing and spending time with the family.We hope whatever adventure you come for, you enjoy our home as much as we do. Thanks and Enjoy!
