Frommer's top destinations in 2010 - and one of
Yahoo's best beaches in the world - the beaches of
the Florida Panhandle at Santa Rosa Beach :
"Stunning beaches, nature trails ... great restaurants,
and a cozy, yet quirky, sense of community." --
Lesley Abravanel, author Frommer's Florida.

"Sweet Magnolia" is like no other house in Old
Florida Village! Unlike many homes in this area, this
home was never built for rental - so numerous luxury
upgrades were included - one of many reasons this
home has a high demand for rentals every year -
many return again after their first visit !

Sweet Magnolia rents Sat-to-Sat during Spring &
Summer.
Beach Access: 6/10's of a mile - a 10 minute walk, 5
minute bike ride or 1 minute car ride across the
street. The Gulfview Heights Public Beach Access
has plenty of parking, clean restrooms and life
guards (during Summer).

NEW THIS YEAR ! Each rental of this home now
includes a free "Savers Card" which adds substantial
savings to your trip, simply present the card to our
preferred vendors and watch the savings stack up !
When booking don't forget to ask about this valuable
coupon book.

Furnished with designer furniture, including the porch,
this Florida cottage is nothing short of luxurious
comfort and class with a touch of beach coziness.
Also, one of the neighborhood's two pools is located
only three houses away!

The downstairs has 20" porcelain tile laid on the
diagonal while the upstairs has thick upgraded
carpet. There is crown molding throughout, custom
painted cabinetry, plantation shutters and all the
plumbing and lighting fixtures (almost all lighting is
connected to dimmer switches) have been upgraded
including 25 recessed lights for a true luxury feel.

The living, dining and kitchen areas are downstairs
and have been professionally decorated with up-
scaled comfortable and cozy furnishings. All three
bedrooms are located upstairs giving you peace and
quiet for those long afternoon vacation naps! Also,
Sweet Magnolia has three porches for enjoying those
warm summer nights.

Of all the various floor plans Old Florida Village has
to offer, this house has the largest kitchen which
makes cooking big vacation meals fun and easy for
all. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless
steel appliances and an oversized under-mount
stainless steel sink.

The master bedroom is also the largest compared to
all of the other floor plans, featuring a king size bed
and a spacious walk-in closet with double shelving.
There is also a private balcony accessed only
through the master bedroom.

The master bath has a large shower with dual shower
heads and a corner seat. The second bedroom has a
queen size bed and the third bedroom has four bunk
beds. There are two hot water heaters so you don't
have to worry about cold showers and the water
pressure is strong enough for both showers to be
used simultaneously!

Sweet Magnolia's other creature comforts include:
surround-sound stereo, flat screen LCD televisions,
DVD players, large wrap-around porch with a ceiling
fan, an outside shower with both hot and cold water
lines for easy rinsing of sand from the beach, gas
grill, coffee maker, blender, toaster, iron with ironing
board, full size washer and dryer, unlimited long
distance telephone service, and FREE WIFI !

As an added bonus, enjoy select network and
premium cable channels in High Definition (HD) -

SciFi, TBS & TNT).

THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING
AREAS:
Old Florida Village is a 75 cottage community with
two pools (one of which is just three houses from
Sweet Magnolia), white picket fencing, natural
landscaping, brick paved streets and meandering
walking paths. It is located on Scenic Hwy 30-A in
Santa Rosa Beach between Gulf Place Town
Center/Amphitheatre and Goatfeathers Restaurant.

Old Florida Village was modeled after the famed
Seaside community which is where The Truman
Show with Jim Carey was filmed.
Grayton/Watercolor/Seaside/Seagrove is just 10
minutes to the east and Seacrest Beach and
Rosemary Beach is another ten minutes past
Seaside. There is only one road into the
neighborhood which creates a nice private feeling for
adults and children. Take a stroll or bike ride around.
Convenient bike rentals are available in the area.


Traveling west from Old Florida Village, Sandestin's
Baytowne Wharf and Silver Sands Factory Stores
(the nation's largest designer outlet mall) are only a
ten minute drive and the new Destin Commons Mall
and Movie Theater is another five minutes past Silver
Sands. The Destin Harbor is approximately thirty
minutes from Old Florida Village. In addition to these
attractions, there are many golf courses, outdoor
music venues, biking and walking trails, and many
other activities the whole family can enjoy!
