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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great accommodations and location for beach and pool access

This property is nicely decorated, great location, fabulous back porch, but lacks in some areas; storage for groceries. The built in pantry did not have any shelves for groceries and pantry items. Kitchen was a hodge podge of mixed silverware/eating utensils. Low quality sheets and towels. The key system needs to be updated to an electronic door or provide multiple keys. We had 4 adults all doing different things but only1 key. Also the 2 guest bedrooms did not have a dresser/chest to unpack and store clothes. The cabinets in the guest rooms were full of pillows, blankets and decor but lacked space to store our clothing. The den TV was small for the space.

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..

Beautiful and serene

The home is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the back porch and the spacious kitchen and living rooms. The kitchen was stocked and there were beach chairs available for us to use. My only complaint with the management company is that I was trying to verify the location and they kept responding with the address which states “ Panama City.”The house is in Seacrest which was perfect but I was very worried about the exact location even after googling the address and trying to confirm this via email. The stay is nonrefundable so be sure Seacrest is where you want to be. The access to pool and beach are excellent. You have beach access but then need to walk a bit to the left or right because the hotels have chairs and umbrellas for their guests. This was not a big deal but would've been nice to know ahead of time. The fridge and washing machine were brand new and we did have an issue but management took care of it right away. Directions for working the new washer may need to be posted. The mattress was not very comfortable in the master. However; overall we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. I would definitely stay here again.
