No details missed in this designer home that offers something for every member of the family. It features a spacious and bright, open concept living area with a huge 86" 4K smart TV, a chef's dream kitchen with professional grade stainless steel appliances and an island with seating for up to 10, plus another dining table with seating for up to 8. There is a large balcony where you can kick up your feet and relax, and a second-floor game room with ample seating and a two-player arcade machine with over 600 games. The second floor also has the kid's paradise bunk room with color-changing LED lights and some fun octopus tentacle wall art. The whole family will make lasting memories in this unforgettable home.

Your group will love the private heated pool right outside the patio door! The patio area is an entertainment dream with an expansive outdoor shuffleboard table, lounge chairs in the sun, a putting green with putters and balls, a covered seating area and outdoor TV, plus the perfect built-in BBQ grill.

For the price, a lot of the items in the house were pretty cheap and not well cared for. The pool towels felt like they were from the dollar store. We were also not provided enough bathing towels. One of the loungers by the pool broke and they didn't fix it while we were there. They also had a lot of stuff in the garage that was for us to take out to the beach but was broken. I hauled out two chairs to the beach to find them rusted and broken.

Beautiful House, Awesome location, Responsive Host!

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.

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!

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!

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 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!
