About this property

'Lazy Magnolia' - Close to Beach & Pool w/4 Bikes & Beach Chairs! Near Rosemary!

Enjoy a short four minute stroll to the gorgeous beaches of 30A when you stay at ' Lazy Magnolia,' a three bedroom, three bath home located in Magnolia Cottages by the Sea. This one-story cottage has all you need for the perfect family vacation or long-weekend with your friends. Nestled in the sand dunes and native brush of Seacrest, you'll enjoy the natural, quiet setting this cottage offers. Pavered streets add a quaint neighborly feel to the homes. Just north of 30-A, you are only steps from the beach access walkover (300 yards!).

Master bedroom: A comfortable firm king-size bed, 46" Samsung TV, and a recently updated private bath with a large luxurious shower. Guest Bedroom: Pillow-top queen-size bed, new flat screen TV, private bath with shower/bathtub combo. Third bedroom: Two twin-size beds with wall-mounted TV.

Jenn-Air/Bosch appliances and granite countertops greet you in the kitchen. It is stocked with the essentials you need to get started. A full-size washer and dryer are also provided for you.

You will love the airy and serene living area with a 55" Samsung 4k TV with digital cable and premium channels. A built-in speaker system and a high-speed wi-fi connection are additional upgrades you'll enjoy.

For the outdoor lovers, you will appreciate the largest screened-in porch Magnolia has to offer. This second living area comes complete with a full-sized sofa, loveseat glider and chair. Bright cushions and year-round wicker will put the happy in happy hour! There is also a table and chairs for your morning coffee.

The shared swimming pool is just steps from our cottage or take a brief stroll to the beach. Grab one of the 4 bikes provided and take a cruise on the 30-A bike path. Enjoy an afternoon exploring Rosemary Beach, the shops of Seaside, or bike to a local park for an up-close look at nature. Bring your golf clubs for world-renowned golfing at area courses. And don't forget about the shopping on 30-A as well as the famous outlet malls of Destin!

Beach Access: Our beach access is located directly across the street from the neighborhood. To sit near the access from March 1st to November 15th, you must rent a beach chair setup (two chairs and one umbrella) from a local vendor, whose information I can provide. Alternatively, you may use the public beach, which is just a two-minute walk to the right. We have six beach chairs and an umbrella available for you to use there. The benefit of using the public beach is that it is typically less crowded and more relaxing, and there is a shower for rinsing off your feet and beach items at the end of the day.

We'd love to have you as our guests at 'Lazy Magnolia.'

Great Family Spring Break
This was perfect for our family-close to the beach and the community pool was a hit with the kids. Great location for families with young children, the neighborhood seemed very family oriented and safe. It was great to have beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon to use for beach days. We also enjoyed the bicycles and there are great bike trails close by.

Perfect Stay
We had a great stay at Lazy Magnolia. This is our 4th year staying in this neighborhood and this is by far our favorite house so far. We already booked again for next year. House is updated, clean, and just like the pictures. All kitchen utensils were available. Bikes and beach gear in the shed were an awesome addition. Perfect stay for my family of 5. Dan was a great host and provided great communication. Cant wait to stay here again.

Great peaceful little neighborhood. Loved the screened in porch. Kids loved the pool and it was close to the house. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad. There is a place that sells ice on your path to the beach which was great to fill the cooler.

Loved having coffee on back porch! Owner communicated well with our concerns.
It was great other than the construction next door. There was full crew making lots of noise early in the am. We would definitely stay in the cottage again; it was well stocked with items we needed and a good location. Please note that once you get on the private access beach you are required to walk further down because it has been purchased by those who live directly on the beach. Not a deal breaker but just more walking if that is a problem.

What a fabulous time our family had at the lazy magnolia. Just a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed our daily bike rides to the HUB. Plenty of great shopping and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer! It was exactly what my family needed! Thanks again Dan for being a great host and sharing your cottage with us for a few days! We will certainly be looking you up again in the future!

10/10 Stay!
Absolutely amazing stay at Lazy Magnolia! The property and entire neighborhood were so nice. The home was very convenient to the beach walkover, which was great having little kids with us. The inside of the home was immaculately clean and cozy. The bathrooms were SO nice and the beds were very comfortable. It was well equipped with everything we could’ve needed for our stay from beach toys, to beach wagons, to kitchen equipment, to band aids. When we weren’t on the beach, we were hanging out on the screened in porch, which had beautiful views of the wooded neighborhood and was surprisingly quiet. We had a slight issue with the AC, but Dan had someone out to fix it within an hour and had no other issues the remainder of our trip. Rosemary and Alys Beaches were both within a bike ride as well, which was great! I could go on and on and on about this house and its location and our host. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

The Perfect Cozy Getaway!
This home was just what the doctor ordered. A Pottery Barn inspired decor, sparkling clean, well appointed residence! It has every convenience you could ask for including 2 coffee makers, a blender, washer/dryer, TV's in every room, etc. Easy walk to the beach or pool. A wonderful large screened in porch. Comfy indoor furniture and a large dining table for dining, puzzles and/or game night. Loved that it's all one level as well. Easy parking for 2 cars that lead right up to the entrance. While I didn't make use of the bicycles or beach chairs, I appreciated that they were there. Also, the Owner was a wonderful resource for everything and answered any question I had immediately. He even made out a list of favorite restaurants and what cuisine they served and where they were located. Great location on 30A as well, with good access to Publix, dining and shopping. 10 out of 10!!

Great setup for a low-key family beach trip
A super clean, comfortable house nestled in lush landscape with a short walk to the beach... in a quieter section of 30A... bikes ready to ride... plus a host with great communication... what more can you ask for?! I highly recommend this property. Pro Tips: If you need to rent a kids bike, head over to The Hub. It is approximately 1 mile away. While there, be sure to get the Key Lime shake from Mr. Freeze. The private beach access for this neighborhood has been narrowed, and the chair guys will setup early. Just a few properties over, you will find public beach access with plenty of space. A sign near the front of the neighborhood will direct you.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Norem

Host profile image
My wife and I live in Franklin, TN. We have 7 children between us, ranging from 25 to 37 yrs old. We are passionate about running, cycling and playing tennis. We try to spend as much time as we can in PCB and the 30A area.

Why they chose this property

We had a lovely condo in the Panama City Beach area, but found ourselves spending the majority of our time in the 30A area running and taking bike rides along the miles of paths running from Rosemary Beach to Destin. We eventually decided this is the area we needed to be in and started looking for the perfect beach house. After over two years of looking, we finally found this great little cottage in the Seacrest area. We love this cottage because it is in a perfect location, between Rosemary Beach and Seaside. It's in a great little beach neighborhood right off 30A and only 3 minutes to the beach, steps from the pool, and right on the bike path. It represents everything we were looking for in the perfect beach vacation!

What makes this property unique

Family friendly home with an open floor-plan. Large screened-in porch is a wonderful bonus! The cottage is close to pool and only steps to the beach!
