Magnolia Cottages- Beautiful 3 Bed 3 Bath - Deeded Beach Access

Everything was as advertised with the home. We had a great vacation and a great stay.

My only concern - This may be mentioned somewhere and we simply missed it (on us if that is the case), but the stairs down from the beach at this location can be a challenge if you are not in great health or you have small children. We expected the walk as evidenced by the location on the map, but we weren't prepared for the 4 flights of stairs straight down to the beach. We had our 2 year old, my 70 year old parents, and myself in poor physical health to manage that aspect. That said, it all worked out for us as we considered it a good challenge and physical therapy. However, if you are not up for that I would look elsewhere.

We had the best week at the cottage and Seacrest Beach! The cottage was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics needed for cooking. The master bed was very comfortable. Our three kids enjoyed taking turns on the bunk beds. Although we were disappointed to find the sheets sandy on our first night. The screened porch was perfect for parking beach gear. We were pleasantly surprised to find several beach chairs, an umbrella and beach toys in the shed! The full size washer/dryer, dishwasher and large refrigerator met our needs. The beach was an easy 2-3 minute walk. We were amazed how perfect the beach was! Clear, turquoise water and powder white sand. On warmer days we stopped by the pool en route to the cottage (only a couple houses down). We’d love to visit again!

We had a great stay at this house in March/April 2018. The pictures do a great job capturing the home. Very clean and the kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials needed to function. We also used 2 of the 3 bikes and they worked well. Overall, we were very pleased and we highly recommend renting here. We also sent a list of three comments to the managment company (new battery needed in the smoke alarm, new showerhead needed in the master bath and the sliding door in the guest bath needed adjusting) and all were taken care of within hours of my request. I was not expecting that, however it was very much appreciated. Above and beyond. Thank you!

This property (and community) is perfect for families of all sizes and ages. Walking distance to community pool (never too crowded) and "almost" private beach. Everyone is friendly and caring.

No issues with the home or any of the maintenance. Decor was beautiful - had just enough items for the kitchen to grill out or cook/bake. Upstairs master suite is AMAZING. Loved having the extra cozy king bed; typically our rentals only have queens. This was a game changer!

Things that would be helpful for the property to have that we were missing: flashlight, extra trash bags (there was only one in the can). No storage / closet in the first bedroom, no storage in the hallway bathroom. Barely any pantry space.

One note for owners: there were large bugs and ants in the hallway bathroom. You may need to spray. No other bugs seen anywhere else (thankfully).

Can't wait for next year!

Great location! Close to pool and walking distance to the beach. Please note there are only three bikes at the house and may need to rent more.
