Amazing property near Rosemary Beach

Our family of 5 just returned from our stay at Sugar Magnolia and really enjoyed our time there. The property was beautiful, clean and well appointed. The host was very attentive to our needs and always responded quickly to any questions we had. The shed was filled with beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, 4 beach cruiser bikes and a bike trailer for our 5 year old daughter. The location was great with only a short 10-15 minute bike ride to the restaurants and shops in Alys and Rosemary beaches to the east and to the west about 10 minutes, there is a really cool outdoor mall with restaurants called The Chill that is a great place to get food and hang out. It was just a short walk across the street from the house to the boardwalk that leads to a beautiful private beach. We definitely would recommend this property and are already trying to plan a trip back.

Wonderful home

This was the perfect home for our family of 5 plus grandparents. The home is a short walking distance to the beach. Close enough for my 3 year old to walk without being carried! There is a shed with plenty of beach gear including umbrellas, sand toys, and bikes. The home is clean and had everything we needed. The property owner is very responsive to questions. 10/10 stars!

Totally Awesome

This was our first time at the Florida panhandle, and we were very blessed to get the best vacation home our first time there. We needed a place where my husband could relax, where our three kids (ages 6, 11, and 13) could have fun, and where we were in close proximity to the beach as well as restaurants and a grocery store. But we also didn’t want to be near high-rises or hustle and bustle. This home was perfect for us. The owners clearly care that their renters feel at home and that all their needs are met. The home is beautiful, clean, very comfortable, has everything you need for cooking meals, has games and movies, has beach chairs and umbrellas, has four adult bikes, is less than 10 minutes from Publix, is a 2-minute walk to the beach, is an easy bike ride to restaurants and shops, and all in all was everything we wanted in a vacation home. We spent five wonderful days relaxing at the beach, riding bikes to lunch or dinner, playing games, reading, and eating at “home”, and then repeating the process all over again. We have no complaints with this home. The home also has a very good “feel” to it. We’d stay here again without hesitation. Thanks for helping make our vacation awesome!

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay. The property was very clean and family friendly. We loved the space. This was our second time in this neighborhood, but first time at this property! It was a very short walk to the beach. We came back several times throughout each day, and it wasn’t a big at all to make the walk back and forth. We enjoyed our stay!

Great beach cottage!

We had a wonderful stay! Very quiet and comfortable. Loved sitting on the screened porch and enjoyed using the provided bikes for morning and evening rides. Perfect area for staying between Panama City and Destin. We have stayed in this community many times before but this was closest to the beach access than the other homes.

Smith Family Vacation

This was our second time in the neighborhood, first time in this property. Everything was great, it was even undersold in the listing. Leave your beach chairs at home and save that room for souvenirs. Everything was clean and well put together. Eric responded immediately to questions and was very friendly. Beach access was incredibly easy with such a short walk. We will definitely stay again in the future.

The best place on 30A!

Over the years we have stayed at Rosemary, Watercolor and Grayton Beach, but this slice of 30A coastline was by far our favorite. It's not near as crowded as Rosemary and Watercolor, but it's centrally located to these other beach areas. We loved the house and enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch during the hot times of the day and in the evening. The house is an easy walk to the beach and even over memorial day weekend the beach wasn't as crowded as many of the other spots on 30A. The house is located where it's an easy bike ride to Alys or WaterSound to grab a bite to eat. The house comes with four bikes which our son and his friend loved. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We will definitely stay here again.
