Magnolia Cottages by the Sea Vacation Rentals

Magnolia Cottages by the Sea is a quiet Seacrest Beach vacation rental community along Scenic Highway 30A. It pairs Old Florida charm with modern coastal design, set among pines and coastal oaks for a calm, family feel. A resort-style community pool sits at its center, and public beach access at Gulf Lakes is a short walk away, opening onto the sugar-white sand and clear Gulf water that made 30A known the world over for its beaches.

Magnolia Cottages Vacation Rentals

Panhandle Getaways manages a collection of three- and four-bedroom beach houses at Magnolia Cottages, each with a full kitchen, multiple bedrooms with private baths, and room for families or groups traveling together. Many homes come with a six-seater golf cart and bikes, so you can leave the car parked and ride to the beach, the pool, or dinner. Several welcome dogs for guests traveling with a pet. Most stays also include free daily activities through our Xplorie partnership, such as golf and tickets to local attractions (seasonal, subject to availability).

The 30A Location

Magnolia Cottages sits in Seacrest Beach, in the heart of 30A's best-known stretch. Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach are a short bike ride away, with their shops, restaurants, and town greens. The Big Chill at The Hub 30A — live music, dining, and family events — is about a mile off. The 30A bike path connects you to Seagrove, Seaside, and the rest of South Walton without getting back in the car.
