Our stay in Long Beach was wonderful! The rental was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the front porch in the rocking chairs. Lori was a great host, very attentive to our needs. One minor suggestion: a new grill would be a nice addition. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this rental.
Property was perfect. Spacious and calming. Good neighborhood. Quiet at night. All the things you could want for a perfect beach stay. Owner was great with vacation guide and easy check in/out process.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Beach Cottage. The neighborhood was quiet. The property was easy to get to and a great centralized location. The cottage was clean and well stocked with the essentials and a few unexpected extras. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday!!
The overall atmosphere of our stay was both relaxing and inviting. The minute we walked in the front door we felt like we were at the beach. Clean and tidy. The Magnolia Beach Cottage was the perfect place for our family. 👍

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our home and that it felt inviting. We always want our guests to have an enjoyable and comfortable stay, and it sounds like you had just that. Thank you! We hope to have you again in the future!
The property was very comfortable for myself, husband, adult daughter and 12 year old granddaughter! Very clean and the Kitchen is very well equipped. We walked to the beach and had a great time. Everything was top notch!
We have been visiting Gulfport for the past 10+ years and this property has been one of the best! The owners were great to work with and the property is in a great location. There were so many extras provided including a shed full of items that came in handy on the beach as well as a grill and full tank of propane. Thanks for an amazing stay!!!
Our family stayed at the Magnolia Beach cottage for a week over the 4th of July. It was absolutely perfect! The house was super clean, had everything we needed and was less than one minute from the beautiful Mississippi Coast. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe. We loved the Long Beach area and recommend you hit up the ice cream shop in downtown!
Nicely located home being not directly in the path of Gulfport business congestion. Distanced from more run down areas is a bonus. Home is nicely stocked, decorated and maintained.

About the host
Hosted by Lori
My husband grew up in Long Beach and we have family here in town. In 2020, our family moved from Colorado to Long Beach and we love it here. We live close by to our vacation rentals and we personally manage them. The beach makes me happy, and since my home is a block from the beach, I'm a happy gal. Our chihuahua also loves living here in Long Beach. Specifically, he loves the hot weather and basks in the hot summer sun all day long. Much better than cold Colorado for him! Our teenage daughter also loves Long Beach. She loves the small town feel and how she can walk to downtown from our home. My husband works from home and we are both happy to be living close to family. We are very happy that we made the move from Colorado to Long Beach. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I actually live 1 block from the ocean! Long Beach has so much to offer. We have lots of restaurants and there are cute downtown shopping areas nearby. The casinos offer lots of entertainment and dining options. For families, there are so many activities such as the children's museum, water parks, aquarium, petting farm, Beauvoir, and more. And then you have New Orleans only 1 hour away and Pensacola and Gulf Shores are only 2 hours away. We know you will enjoy Long Beach as much as we do.
