Please be sure to review the golf cart rules and LSV laws noted in the property guidebook before use.

Make sure to plug in the golf cart to charge daily.

Magnolia House was amazing!

The property managers were so responsive and the house was in perfect condition. Our group of girls all raved about the decor, location and condition of the home. I could not recommend this property enough! Thank you Lynn for a great trip.

The Perfect House!

This home was spectacular!! We loved everything about it; just to name a few the design, location, and amenities. There was plenty of room for our large group and we really got to enjoy every space in the home. The hosts were super accommodating and super responsive through email and text. The location of the home was very close to the beach and having the golf cart at our disposal was super convenient. We will definitely be returning to this home in the near future!

This was one of our best VRBO experiences! We really haven’t had a bad one yet but this was really outstanding. Our host got back to us immediately with any questions we had. House and pool were fantastic, pool heat worked great, great location, golf cart was awesome. No complaints! Hope to be back soon.

WOW!

Magnolia Retreat is perfect! From listing, to check-in, to condition of property, to check-out, it was flawless! The property is just as described. Having experienced deceptive photos of other properties, we were amazed at the huge living area! The kitchen and living area were perfect for our group of 7 adults - plenty of sitting room, plenty of "spreading out" room. We congregated in the kitchen a lot! The outdoor living area was icing on the cake, and the pool was enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Nice, large beach towels are even provided! A private bath for each bedroom was definitely a selling point and helped to make our week even more comfortable. The kitchen had every utensil and cooking item we needed. We didn't even need the few things we brought from home! The golf cart was super! We could have left our car parked all week if we had wanted. No need to bring pool toys or beach equipment - it's all there! In the words of our grown daughter, "Let's find out when this place is available, and plan our next trip around that!" We will certainly be repeat customers!

The best vacation home we’ve stayed at!

I recently stayed at the Magnolia Retreat and was blown away by the luxury and space of the property. The kitchen was absolutely stunning, with top-of-the-line appliances and plenty of room to cook and entertain. The house itself was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and unwind. The location was perfect - just steps from the beach and close to local shops and restaurants. Overall, I would give them a solid five stars and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious beach getaway!
