Cozy cottage

The cottage was cozy and had ample space for 6 people and is was well equipped for making our own meals. We loved the porch swing and back patio. The heated pool is close by and was a great addition. The cafe at the end of the street had great popsicles and iced coffee.Our only issue was beach access. We used the code provided to access the beach gate and set up at the bottom of the stairs along the beach. A man came by and said we on private property and were trespassing unless we paid 70/day/chair and made us leave. It was embarrassing and unexpected. We had to pack up and leave. I explained that we had a code for the beach access, but he didn’t care and told us 4 times that we were trespassing.

Quiet Location

Very cute cottage in a nice and quiet location. Very easy to get to The Big Chill and to The Horseshoe/Rosemary. The neighborhood was perfect for my preteen to ride his bike without worrying about traffic, close enough for the teen to bike to see his friends, and the dogs loved their walks each day. Would definitely stay there again.

Short walk to beach and pool

We loved the location, easy walk to the beach and pool. We could ride our bikes to Rosemary beach and the Big chill with a toddler and 7 year old. The only minor thing is the chairs could be updated outside. They looked mildew on some. Loved the porch swing. Had a great time, we’d stay again.

Charming perfection

Perfect location centered between serene Alys beach and vintage Seaside! Peaceful back-porch bliss situated in wooded seclusion. Updated and very clean. Short walk to beach, although quite a few steps down to it. Do not recommend if you have elderly guests. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Family Vacation

The whole house was fantastic. Just as described. Had an incredible ambiance to it. Plenty of space for everyone while also allowing great shared space to be together and have good fellowship. The AC didn’t reach the rooms as well as it could have. The bedrooms were a degree or 2 warmer than the living room. We were thankful for the fans to keep us cool at night. The biggest issue we had was that the 2 doors leading out to the back patio didn’t have working deadbolts or locks at all, so we felt exposed at night when sleeping unfortunately. Besides that it was wonderful

Place was immaculate and great location.

Perfect accommodations, just a little smaller than we anticipated. We had 5 teenage boys with us and a couple had to sleep on the couch but we don’t spend much time inside while at the beach anyway so it did not matter. The only negative was we have Verizon and had zero coverage inside the house. We had to walk or drive away to use our phones. Again, we like to discinnnect while on vacation so nothing major, just an inconvenience.

Lovely vacation rental

This 3br, 3 bath, spacious beach vacation home is lovely! Less than 5 min walk from beautiful turquoise Gulf waters. Located in Seacrest and not Panama City Beach as advertised. Beware- Beach access does not grant you permission to use the beach - so more walking would be required to find a spot on the beach for chairs and umbrellas umbrellas. Overall a pleasant experience..

STL 3Oa Vacay!

House was darling! I was a bit nervous after reading some reviews, but house was perfect! We had no issues at all! 4 adults & 2 children were very comfortable. Proximity to beach & pool excellent. Back porch a bonus & Sand Dollar One was very attentive before we even arrived. Will return for sure! Thanks for a great vacay!

We Loved Magnolia Mermaid!

This home was perfect for our family - myself and my husband, daughter and son-in-law, and their 20-month-old son. Beds were comfortable, two of the bedrooms had en suite bathrooms, wonderful open floor plan and screened porch (loved the swing!) Short walk to the gorgeous beach, and we really appreciated that there was a wagon to use for moving the baby and beach equipment from the house to the beach. Visitors, be aware that there are 4 flights of steps to get down from the top of the dunes to the beach. We look forward to staying at Magnolia Mermaid again!

Seacrest Stay

Lovely house, with amazing screened in porch. Close to the beach. My only complaint is that there is extremely poor WiFi. I had to do some work while here and was unable to. Many guests have complained of the same issue in the guest book. Remains unresolved.

Nice Cottage

Be prepared to rent chairs at the beach. Outside chairs are not allowed. You should reserve them prior to your trip because the front row was rented prior to our arrival 3 of the 4 days. Steep staircase to the beach could be tough for the elderly. The walk isn’t bad. House was tight with four adults and 3 little kids. Great neighborhood with two pools. We would go back with a smaller group.

Cute House but needs some love!

House was cute and in a great location, I do however think it should be noted that to get to the beach there are 4 flights of stairs to get down to the sand. Also the pictures on the web site do need updating, the house has been well loved and some of the furnishing/ pillows need a good cleaning. The back porch is in need of a refresh along with the outside bushes and weeds need to be handled. There were 2 bird nests on the porch and briars that are coming through the screens, which need a good washing as well. Def. needs some attention to the landscaping.

Great Location!

Can’t ask for a better location, this unit delivers a lot in a small space. Really nothing to complain about but a couple suggestions. The listing should clearly state that beach access is directly across the street but you are not allowed to set up your personal tent/chairs on that section, you are sent further away to public area. The kitchen is in need of a few additional supplies especially cookie sheets and serving dishes. Lastly it might be time for some new pillows. All things that can be easily addressed and shouldn’t keep anyone for renting the Magnolia Mermaid!

Just Okay

Property could use more amenities - especially for cooking (all that was available was 2 small pots, a few large pasta pots and multiple frying pans. We had several issues (ice maker, AC, no batteries in items). And none of the maintenance workers wore a mask, nor disinfected any areas, as was stated in the property disclosure/ description. One worker in fact, said he just returned as he had a close relative die of covid - and he DID NOT have a mask on - and was at work, not quarantining.
