Best Trip Ever!

There was only 1 complaint, and it is very small, the refrigerator was dirty, we had to clean it and dispose of old food when we got there. This is on the cleaning crew and not the owners. The house was so much better than the picture can show. A few of the blinds need to be replaced, but again so small and didn't take away from the awesome and beautiful home they shared with us. I hope to be back every year. Thank you to the owners, it was such a slice of paradise. The Flowers Family.

Perfect house and location

I stayed here for 1 week. The house is adorable and very comfortable. I loved that it had a large kitchen with full sized refrigerator. Everything was spotless and smelled so clean. The house keeper hadn't quite left when i arrived a little early, yet she made me feel so welcomed and she let me bring my things in. My dog and I were both thrilled with the large, grassy back yard that was fully fenced in. The location was an easy 10 minute walk from the beach. The neighborhood was friendly and I felt safe at all times. There was a small convenience store a couple houses away, perfect for snacks and drinks. The marina was a short drive and has a nice little restaurant and dog friendly patio. This was the perfect getaway for peace and quiet and anyone just wanting to relax. I would definitely stay in this exact house again when i come to Magnolia Beach next time.

Family get away

The place is real close to the beach. Very reasonable pricing. If you have a big family take extra toilet paper and paper towels and lots mosquitoes spray. It's a great weekend get away look foward to going again.

Lovely home

We absolutely loved our stay! Amy has done a beautiful job offering such a wonderful place to get away and relax in. We so loved the beach/ocean theme. And the little sitting area was great. And for those who love a good size kitchen with a large island/breakfast bar...this one was a joy to cook in. We look forward to returning soon!!! Thank you Amy for such a lovely stay!!

Not senior friendly

House is spacious and the beds are good. That being said 2 out of three lamps had no switch knobs to turn them off and on were just unplugged. The tub is on a 6 inch raised platform making it very difficult to get in or out of the tub. Also the first 3 days the water in the shower was so low you could hardly shower but the owner did get a plumber out to repair it. Also the cushion on the futon is almost non existent so it is very uncomfortable.

About the host

Hosted by George and Amy Mendoza

My wife and I are teachers who just love to be near the coast every opportunity we have. Whether it's kayak fishing or just relaxing, the water is where we love to be.

Why they chose this property

I've been coming down here for near 20 years. Introduced this place to my wife about 3 years ago and she was hooked. We came down so much we decided to buy a place because we spent so much renting places to stay. We love kayak fishing and spending time with the family.We hope whatever adventure you come for, you enjoy our home as much as we do. Thanks and Enjoy!
