Excellent Host and Home!
The house was just as described! The apartment over the garage offers great privacy. The outdoor ice machine was a great addition and the kitchen was well stocked (saying a lot coming from a foodie). The sunset view from the "Tippy Top" (as we called it) was awesome! The house was very clean and Doug (host) was extremely responsive and helpful. The location was great; part of the beach didn't allow tents so it was less crowded which was nice considering we were there for the 4th of July! Highly recommend (and I'll be the first to admit, I'm rather picky!) Enjoy!

Best time ever! Wonderful family vacation.
What a great place to stay. If my grand sons were not at the beach they were in the pool in the back yard. Otherwise they were playing with their RCcars and drones right outside. The house was perfect for all of us. Six adults and two children 4 and 7. We would either fix meals or order in and the large table had room for all of us. Meals and games and towel folding. Lol I really can not think of anything else the home needs it is just full of extras. Plenty of cookware, serving pieces, silverware, and plates and glasses. Plus they had Yetis there to use!!!. TVs in every room almost, plenty of beds for all, best of all configuration of beds and rooms was perfect. For a family this is the place you need. You are so close to the beach it’s 5 min away. Everyone went at least twice a day. You will be close to everything shopping, grocery stores, more food places and just anything you want. The restaurants are great! Doug has a list of the best of the best of anything you want. Speaking of Doug I can not say enough good things about him and his wife they are exceptionable people who were so kind and went out of their way to help me. Doug was available at every phone call and never seemed annoyed instead always super helpful. I’m sure when we go back to Destin Doug will be our first call for availability. A WONDERFUL TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!

OMG!!! AMAZING!!
I can’t even begin to describe how much we enjoyed this trip. We have been going to Destin every year for our family vacation and have finally found the spot. Literally 5 minute walk to the beach. Plenty of room for everyone and then a private pool to take a swim in the late afternoons. Spacious kitchen with everything you need. The pictures do not even do this place justice. We will definitely be going back to this same place every year!

Fantastic Property
Lazy Magnolia was a great property for our party of 10 (2 families of 5). The layout of the house fit our needs perfectly. The house is about a 5 minute walk to the beach and the kids stayed in the private, heated pool most of the time when we were at the house. Doug, the owner, answered a pile of questions we had before arrived and was very responsive for the couple of things that came up during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

45th Wedding Anniversary
Returned to Destine where we honeymooned 45 years ago. Only we did it right this time, no pink cinderblock motel on a busy street this time. The house is better than the pictures show. Quite neighborhood, so close to the beach we walked back and forth several times a day. Do not skip the evening walks on the beach to watch the sunsets. The pool was very private and secluded and made the trip very special. Of course the wife and I only needed one of the 5 bedrooms, but the size and scale of the house was perfect for two or 12 so don't think you need to fill it up to take advantage of this excellent valued vacation home. We will return now yearly and not wait another 45 years to enjoy everything that the Destin area has to offer. We thank Doug and his family for sharing their special paradise with us and hope to stay here again and again.

Family Beach Vacation!
This beach house was absolutely perfect in every way. My family had a great time while staying there. It was clean, spacious, and contained so many extras, you felt like you were at home (beach toys, beach towels, games, kitchenware for any occasion, etc.). The walk to the beach was short and pleasant. The private pool in the backyard was perfect after a morning at the beach. The owners have an ice maker on the outside of the home which was great. The Boone's were so helpful and provided many suggestions concerning the best restaurants, shopping, etc. That extra touch was very much appreciated! We will definitely be recommending this house to anyone staying in Destin!

Our stay at Lazy Magnolia was perfect, thank you Doug for being such a great host! Between the beautiful home, great kitchen and dining area for family dinners, a short 5 minute walk to the beautiful white-sand beach, the private swimming pool, and the crow's nest to watch the sunsets, we couldn't have asked for more.

Spring Break Fun!
Lazy Magnolia was the perfect house for a spring break getaway for our large group. There was more than enough space for our group (consisting of 3 separate families) to spread out and have our own space. From start to finish, the owners were wonderful and attentive. Doug was available to answer any and all questions we may have had before and during our trip. We loved being a short walk to the beach but also enjoyed walking out into the backyard for a swim in the pool. We would definitely stay at Lazy Magnolia again in the future.
