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.
