About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Goemans 608-576-1947
We’re from the Northwoods of Wisconsin and love spending time with our children and grandchildren on the lakes of northern Wisconsin — fishing, boating, and simply being together. We’re just as drawn to the ocean as we are to Wisconsin’s forests and lakes, and we cherish time spent outdoors, near the water, and making meaningful memories with family. Hosting allows us to share that love of nature, connection, and relaxed time together with our guests.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this cottage because it offers the perfect blend of peaceful coastal living and easy access to everything that makes 30A special. Tucked into the quiet Magnolia Cottages neighborhood in Old Seacrest, the home is just minutes from the beautiful beaches of 30A, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach.
The neighborhood’s resort-style pool, charming cottage architecture, and walkable beach access made it feel like the ideal place for families to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the Gulf Coast lifestyle. We’ve thoughtfully designed the home with the same touches we look for when traveling ourselves—comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, bikes, a golf cart for beach rides, all the beach gear you need for a nice day on the beach and cozy spaces to gather after a day in the sun.
One thing we especially love about this area is the dining scene. Along 30A you’ll find mostly locally owned restaurants and unique coastal spots rather than big chain establishments. We’ve included many of our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and local gems in our digital house guide to help guests experience the area like a local.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly special is the screened-in porch with a swing, string lights, and views of lush wooded surroundings filled with coastal plants and natural landscaping — a peaceful retreat where you can relax to the sound of birds chirping and pines rustling. The second-floor private outdoor shower offers a spa-like experience with soft lighting, a wooden floor, and natural stone surroundings. Inside, the large gourmet kitchen is fully stocked for family meals and entertaining, featuring premium appliances and thoughtful touches for convenience.
Location is another standout feature — the beach is just down the street across 30A, with private deeded access as well as nearby public beaches. You’re also close to Alys and Rosemary Beaches, offering the best in shopping, dining, and small coastal-town charm. This combination of serene outdoor spaces, luxurious indoor amenities, and unbeatable coastal access makes our home a one-of-a-kind getaway.
