Perfect Beach Getaway – Absolutely Beautiful! We had the most incredible week at this beach house! The home itself is stunning – clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed. The location could not be better; just steps away from gorgeous white sandy beaches, and so easy to get to that we spent most of our days with our toes in the sand. The host was wonderful and made sure everything was seamless from check‑in to check‑out. We can’t recommend this beach house enough – it’s the ideal spot for anyone looking for beauty, comfort, and unforgettable memories by the ocean.

We loved our time in Seacrest at Megan’s cute beach house. We loved the location of the property. It was so close to the beach! We also loved the small walkable neighborhood/area. My daughter was able to safely get in her morning runs. We took advantage of the bikes a few times and the boogie boards daily. We can’t wait to come back!

For my first trip to the 30A area this was they place to stay at. This home says it is minutes from the beach. What it does not say is that you are the second home from 30A. Means you are closer to the beach than everyone else in your neighborhood. The House had bikes that we used to visit other beach towns nearby, and a Weber Grill we used to fire up some good dinners. with Three bedrooms and three bathrooms our two family getaw2ay was very comfortable. We will be reaching out to Megan for our return trip next year.

We loved our time at Sugar Magnolia 30A! The house is absolutely beautiful and in such an ideal location (1 or 3 minute walk depending on which beach you pick). Megan was so kind and accommodating to our family. We can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay at Megan’s home and would definitely return! The house is beautiful, with a true family vacation vibe. It’s well cared for, with each room having a TV, a spacious living room, and a cozy patio. The kitchen is fully stocked, and detergent and dishwasher pods are provided. The beds and furniture are top quality, making it easy to feel at home. The beach is just a 3-minute walk away, with a private beach access only a minute away. The shed is stocked with beach chairs and gear, which was super convenient. The pool was another highlight—spacious, peaceful, and never crowded, offering a perfect spot to relax privately. The location is perfect, close to great restaurants like Old Florida Fish House, and Publix is just 5 minutes away. Megan was an outstanding host—responsive, helpful, and offered great local tips. Her communication was quick and smooth from start to finish. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay in a beautiful home. Megan was wonderful to work with. This was my first experience renting a home through Airbnb. Megan was very patient and helpful as I completed the process. Her home is in a great location, beautifully decorated and has everything available that you may need during your stay. My first experience exceeded my expectations. We are already planning a return trip.

We loved our stay here. The house was so well stocked, beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything. The only downfall was the private beach access allows you to access the beach but not setup on the beach—you have to walk down to public access. It was not a big deal but a bit deceiving.

Our stay at Megan’s was extremely comfortable. The air conditioner cooled even the upstairs bedroom nicely. We slept wonderfully bc the mattresses were perfect and the surrounding area is quiet! All of the appliances were new and the house was very clean! We highly recommend this house as it is located super close to the beach and it comes with numerous beach chairs, several umbrellas, 4 bikes and a big wagon for easy transport! There is a Publix grocery and liquor store just 2 miles away and nice walking/bike paths that run parallel to the beach. We had a great time and will most likely be returning to her house soon!

Absolutely loved our stay here. It is a beautiful, well appointed home. Accommodations were very nice and we all loved the beautiful decor. Love the area and location can’t be beat. Have been coming to this area my whole life and this was one of our favorite trips ever. Will be back!

Sugar Magnolia on 30A was a perfect location and stay for us! 1 minute to private beach access, and 3 minutes to public beach access! You can’t beat 30A, and this home was pristine and beautiful. The screened-in front porch was a real treat. The host was proactive in ensuring our stay was great, and responsive to any messages we shared. This has been one of the best Airbnb stays we have booked yet!
