About this house rental

Summary:
Escape to this delightful cottage located in the highly sought-after Magnolia Cottages by the Sea just a 2-minute walk from deeded beach access! This cozy 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, a private screened porch, and comfortable accommodations for up to 8 guests. Enjoy access to a community pool, complimentary bikes, and the best of 30A, including Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. Whether you're lounging by the shore, exploring charming local shops, or biking along scenic trails, this home promises the ultimate coastal getaway.

The Space:
Welcome to The Story House. Walk inside and enjoy the ambience of a place dedicated to a love for stories, and create your own family vacation tale in this beautiful beach house!

This house finds its home in Magnolia Cottages by the Sea, a cozy community on 30a, close to unique shopping, restaurants, several state parks, the 18 mile Timpoochee bike/walk trail,  and a very short bike ride to Aly’s, Rosemary, and Seacrest Beaches.

The open living/dining area provides space for relaxing in comfort and style. Step out and you'll find a private screened porch surrounded by Florida palms and brush. There are two porch swings for your children's joy or an afternoon with a friend or a book. A table and chair set is ready for a lunch outside in with hints of sea air.

The triple bunkbed is just where your kids will want to to rest after a day of fun in the ocean waves, with an adjoining carpeted space for play or a movie. The master bedroom with ensuite bath is a peaceful retreat for parents with a canopy bed framed by a wall of coconut leaves. A third bedroom offers another queen bed with ensuite bath, with an additional bed by way of a pull-out sofa in the living room. Throughout the house you will find watercolors of favorite childhood stories by artist Elizabeth Wade (calling friends of Narnia!).

You can easily prepare family meals in the fully equipped kitchen, then enjoy them at the breakfast bar or gather around the dining table for memorable family dinners.

With deeded beach access a 2 minute walk from your door, you can have every day bathed in sun and surf on the lovely white shores of the Gulf Coast.
You are invited to plan your family seaside story at The Story House, Magnolia Cottages by the Sea!

This was a surprise birthday trip for my mom and it was nothing short of amazing. The house was very clean and the host was very responsive to all questions. My fur-babies got to enjoy themselves as well which was a bonus. The beach is about a 2 minute walk from the house but you're taking in the beautiful scenery of the neighborhood which makes it seem far less than that. There is a cute snack bar at the front of the neighborhood for the kids with tasty snow cones. I will definitely be booking again!
