About this property

3 BR Family Home on 30A, Walking Distance to the Beach and Pool!

Quiet cottage neighborhood on east 30A!

Magnolia Cottages is a quiet community with a laid-back neighborhood feel. Starfish and Coffee is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home within easy walking distance to our neighborhood beach access and communal pool. Hop on the bike path and ride to shops and restaurants in Alys Beach, Seacrest Village, Rosemary Beach, and the Big Chill (formerly The Hub).

The house features cozy screened-in porches on both the first and second floors, a private master suite, and hardwood floors throughout. It’s an open concept living space with two guest bedrooms on the first floor and the master suite upstairs. It's perfect for a family, plus grandparents or friends for the kids.

The first guest bedroom (downstairs) has a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The second guest bedroom (downstairs) has a full-over-full bunk bed with twin trundle and a full bathroom (walk-in shower) just across the hall.

Walk upstairs to the master bedroom to enjoy a good book or a glass of wine in your own private sanctuary. The master suite features a king bed, large closet, screened-in porch with hammock chair, flat screen TV, desk with a comfortable home-office chair, and a spacious bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower.

We keep 4 bikes at the house so our guests can take full advantage of the bike path!

PRIVATE vs. PUBLIC BEACH - READ CAREFULLY!!

Make sure to ask about this at any rental you are considering!

Does private beach sound crazy to you?! You can thank the Walton County Board of Commissioners and Mike Huckabee. Google "Customary Use Walton County" for details.

Given that mess, we are VERY lucky to be within walking distance of both a private and public beach. The private beach access is a two-minute walk from our door. You can always get onto the sand at this access with our gate code because it is deeded with our house. However! You can only set up chairs/umbrellas on the beach at this access if you rent chairs from the vendor. If you do not want to rent chairs, you will need to walk another 2 minutes west to the county owned section of beach at the Seabreeze access.

There are stairs down to the beach at both access points.

Starfish and Coffee

We had a great time at Starfish and Coffee. The house is very clean and stocked with everything that might be needed for a great stay. The location is wonderful - close to the beach, a great pool and the shops of Rosemary Beach. I'd do it again with no reservations.

Great place for families

We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Had everything we needed. The only downside is lots of stairs down to the beach so we couldn’t use our wagon but we loved how close the beach and pool were

Perfect quiet getaway

We love coming to the beach, but have found that sometimes during spring break, some of the more populous areas can get crazy with kids on bikes and lots of traffic. We really wanted to stay somewhere that was quiet, but still close to everything and this was the perfect spot. The pool was really nice as well and not too crowded overall. Would rent again.

Great Property

We have stayed at several properties along 30A. This one is one of our favorites. The house is as advertised and beds were very comfortable. Location to the beach and access is very convenient. They had everything we needed, so all we needed to do was buy groceries. 10 of 10.

Family spring break trip

We were very happy with our stay here! The house was very cute, well stocked as we did make many meals at the house during the week (even grilled) The beds were comfy and great that each bedroom had their own bathroom. Upstairs bedroom was especially nice! We hung out on the porch a lot and that was a nice space as well. So close to the ocean and pool, and rode bikes that were at the house every day. Close to many other ocean side towns and eateries. Highly recommend this rental, we hope to return!

Perfect quite location in the middle of everything

We loved this home. It was perfect for me, my wife, our two boys (7/10) and my retired parents. The location was in the middle of everything on 30a but it was quite compared to many areas we went. The bikes were a nice addition along with all the beach items needed. The kitchen was well equipment and all the cabinets were labeled. The pool was within 100 yards of the home which was nice for the two double red flag days. It was a quick walk across the street to the beach access walk way. For a family of 4-6 people, it was perfect.

Lovely house close to the beach

We really enjoyed our stay. The porches were a favorite for all of us. There was plenty of room in the house for our family of 5 to spread out and get space. The walk to the beach is easy. It took a couple days to figure out the best time to get down to beach and the best place to set up, but once we got that figured out it was easy! We didn't really even need the pool, but it was nice that it was close by. We rented a trike for our youngest who isn't steady on a bike yet and using the other 4 bikes provided by the owner we were able to bike to Alys Beach for breakfast which was really fun. The owner was quickly responsive to any questions/concerns and provided fun suggestions for things to do nearby.

Great location

We had a wonderful stay! The location is great, quick walk to beach and community pool. All of the beach accesses in the area have steep steps to the beach, but it’s to be expected. The community pool hadn’t had the heater turned on, so Tarlie got that fixed for us so quickly! Excellent communication. Would definitely stay again!

We absolutely love 30A and hope you will too! Feel free to send questions our way. We want you to get exactly what you expect when you rent our house and are more than willing to answer any questions openly and honestly. If our house isn't a great fit, we can point you in the right direction for something that will be!

Why they chose this property

We love that this house has that "Old Florida" cottage feel to it and that it is amazingly close to the beach and the bike path. We ride our bikes all over to take part in the action of Rosemary, Alys, and Seaside, but at the end of the day, we want to be tucked back into our cozy little spot on a quieter, calmer stretch of 30A.
