About this property
'Lazy Magnolia' - Close to Beach & Pool w/4 Bikes & Beach Chairs! Near Rosemary!
Enjoy a short four minute stroll to the gorgeous beaches of 30A when you stay at ' Lazy Magnolia,' a three bedroom, three bath home located in Magnolia Cottages by the Sea. This one-story cottage has all you need for the perfect family vacation or long-weekend with your friends. Nestled in the sand dunes and native brush of Seacrest, you'll enjoy the natural, quiet setting this cottage offers. Pavered streets add a quaint neighborly feel to the homes. Just north of 30-A, you are only steps from the beach access walkover (300 yards!).
Master bedroom: A comfortable firm king-size bed, 46" Samsung TV, and a recently updated private bath with a large luxurious shower. Guest Bedroom: Pillow-top queen-size bed, new flat screen TV, private bath with shower/bathtub combo. Third bedroom: Two twin-size beds with wall-mounted TV.
Jenn-Air/Bosch appliances and granite countertops greet you in the kitchen. It is stocked with the essentials you need to get started. A full-size washer and dryer are also provided for you.
You will love the airy and serene living area with a 55" Samsung 4k TV with digital cable and premium channels. A built-in speaker system and a high-speed wi-fi connection are additional upgrades you'll enjoy.
For the outdoor lovers, you will appreciate the largest screened-in porch Magnolia has to offer. This second living area comes complete with a full-sized sofa, loveseat glider and chair. Bright cushions and year-round wicker will put the happy in happy hour! There is also a table and chairs for your morning coffee.
The shared swimming pool is just steps from our cottage or take a brief stroll to the beach. Grab one of the 4 bikes provided and take a cruise on the 30-A bike path. Enjoy an afternoon exploring Rosemary Beach, the shops of Seaside, or bike to a local park for an up-close look at nature. Bring your golf clubs for world-renowned golfing at area courses. And don't forget about the shopping on 30-A as well as the famous outlet malls of Destin!
Beach Access: Our beach access is located directly across the street from the neighborhood. To sit near the access from March 1st to November 15th, you must rent a beach chair setup (two chairs and one umbrella) from a local vendor, whose information I can provide. Alternatively, you may use the public beach, which is just a two-minute walk to the right. We have six beach chairs and an umbrella available for you to use there. The benefit of using the public beach is that it is typically less crowded and more relaxing, and there is a shower for rinsing off your feet and beach items at the end of the day.
We'd love to have you as our guests at 'Lazy Magnolia.'

2nd time staying here. Liked it so much last year we stayed again. Clean, all the amenities you need in the house, steps to the pool and short walk to the beach. 4 bikes, and 6 beach chairs are a huge benefit. Other beach gear in the shed as well. Easy bike ride to all of the local hotspots. Dan is a super host and responds instantly. Perfect stay.
It was a perfect option for our family. The location was ideal and easy to get to the beach and pool. There was nature around the neighborhood not just buildings so it felr more private and secluded but still close and convenient to everything.
Charming beach cottage! Cozy, clean, and just steps from the sand. Loved the peaceful mornings on the porch and quick access to great local spots. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Great communication, would definitely stay at again.
Beautiful place to stay- great location. 5 minute to the beach and right across from the pool. Very clean.The only issue was the internet/ tv kept going in and out but that was our only complaint. We will definitely be back!!
Beautiful property! Wonderful location! Great hosts!
What a wonderful home perfectly located a block from the beach and across the street from the swimming pool. Hosts were so kind to accommodate with our early arrival and then we never needed a thing. Easiest sweetest vacation. The cottage is perfectly equipped with anything you can possibly need. Great family room and screen porch. We will definitely stay here again!
This was perfect for our family-close to the beach and the community pool was a hit with the kids. Great location for families with young children, the neighborhood seemed very family oriented and safe. It was great to have beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon to use for beach days. We also enjoyed the bicycles and there are great bike trails close by.
I have been staying at numerous properties on the 30 A gulf for over 30 years and lazy magnolia exceeds any expectations I have had over the years. It deserves the 10/10 rating it has. Perfect location, perfect accommodations and highly responsive owners. We will stay book and stay again. Outstanding in every way.
This house is wonderful—we’ll-appointed, cozy, and an easy walk to the beach! We loved our week with family and friends. Super convenient to Alys, Seacrest, Rosemary, and the new Watersound Publix. Highly recommend!
Really can’t say enough good things about this property and owner. It’s well stocked with high quality amenities (including Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas) and the overall furnishings are nice. Owner and management company was very responsive as well. Would hesitate to stay here again.
We had an amazing stay at Lazy Magnolia Cottage in Seaside, FL! The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach and within easy reach of all the charming shops and restaurants in Seaside. The cottage itself was spotless, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home.The hosts were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, from fresh towels to beach gear. One of the best perks was the bikes included—such a great way to explore the area at your own pace!If you're looking for a relaxing, well-located spot with everything you could want for a beach vacation, Lazy Magnolia Cottage is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
Great peaceful little neighborhood. Loved the screened in porch. Kids loved the pool and it was close to the house. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad. There is a place that sells ice on your path to the beach which was great to fill the cooler.
Great house! We have been coming to the area for 10 years and always stay in the Secrest area. The house was great: clean, comfy, and the use of the bikes and beach toys was a huge plus.
This was perfect for our family vacation. The walk to the beach is just minutes away. Lots of restaurants close. Loved riding the bikes. Condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner checked in on us day 1 to make sure we had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be back.
Had a great week at this adorable cottage! We utilized the bikes for daily adventures and the beach gear for lazy days at the beach. Dan was organized and easy to communicate with. I’d highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Dan Norem
My wife and I live in Franklin, TN. We have 7 children between us, ranging from 25 to 37 yrs old. We are passionate about running, cycling and playing tennis. We try to spend as much time as we can in PCB and the 30A area.
Why they chose this property
We had a lovely condo in the Panama City Beach area, but found ourselves spending the majority of our time in the 30A area running and taking bike rides along the miles of paths running from Rosemary Beach to Destin. We eventually decided this is the area we needed to be in and started looking for the perfect beach house. After over two years of looking, we finally found this great little cottage in the Seacrest area. We love this cottage because it is in a perfect location, between Rosemary Beach and Seaside. It's in a great little beach neighborhood right off 30A and only 3 minutes to the beach, steps from the pool, and right on the bike path. It represents everything we were looking for in the perfect beach vacation!
What makes this property unique
Family friendly home with an open floor-plan. Large screened-in porch is a wonderful bonus! The cottage is close to pool and only steps to the beach!
