Reviewer Comments:
Upon booking our stay at Magnolia House, we were thrilled to see photos of a beautiful, secluded beach. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we found that the photos were not an accurate representation of the property's beach access. We had to take a tram and walk several blocks to reach the public beach access where we were provided with free chairs and umbrellas.However, despite this initial disappointment, we found that the property was well-maintained and clean. The owner and manager were also quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent customer service we received.While we enjoyed our stay, we did feel that the property could use some upgrades. The bathroom sink took forever to drain and the mattresses on the bed and pull out couch were not very comfortable. We suggest the owner consider adding memory foam mattress toppers to ensure guests can get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the patio furniture was uncomfortable, and we recommend swapping out the Adirondack chairs for a small plush sectional, and a comfy bistro set for eating poolside with that grand view! Despite these minor drawbacks, we would still recommend Magnolia House to friends and family. We enjoyed exploring the many activities and attractions in the area, including the Gulfarium marine adventure park, the US Air Force Armament Museum, boating on Crab Island with Happy's pontoon rental service, Big Kahuna water park, & Destin Pier. The restaurants were spectacular! We recommend Boshamps Oyster House, & Fatboys! Overall, we had a great time on our vacation and would recommend Magnolia House as a comfortable and convenient base for exploring all that the area has to offer.
