From the moment you walk in, a panoramic wall of windows pulls your eyes straight through to the water. The Intracoastal is right there, shimmering past the heated pool, the dock, and the kayaks waiting to be launched. Magnolia By The Sea is not a property where you need to go anywhere to feel like you're on vacation. You're already there.

"If I could give this place 6000 stars I would. It's beautiful and the hosts were more than gracious and incredibly responsive." -Janna

Nestled on the Intracoastal Waterway in Indian Rocks Beach, this is a quiet Gulf Coast town with no high-rises and no chain restaurants. Just 3,600 residents, locally owned spots rated among the best in Florida, and a pace that actually lets you decompress. The provided 6-passenger electric golf cart gets you to the beach in about 2 minutes, with designated cart parking right on the sand.

THE SPACE
The layout works for the way families actually vacation. You enter on the main level with the kitchen, living room, dining area, and a full bathroom. Three steps down puts you on the ground level with a king bedroom (glass doors opening to the pool and water), the bunk room, another full bath, and laundry. A few steps up takes you to two more king bedrooms, a full bathroom, an outdoor balcony, and the spiral staircase to the rooftop deck. It's 2,966 square feet across three levels with a flow that keeps everyone together when you want to be, with room to break away when you don't.

KITCHEN & DINING
This kitchen was set up by owners who actually cook here with their own family. You'll find HexClad cookware, a Breville Nespresso Vertuo espresso machine, a full knife set, a well- stocked bar glass collection, complete place settings for 10 indoors (plus a separate outdoor set), and pretty much every gadget and utensil you'd want. The indoor dining table seats 10 with a water view. Or fire up the deluxe Weber propane grill with sear burner on the covered patio and eat outside under the royal palms.

“It truly felt like luxury throughout, with incredible attention to detail. The interiors were straight out of a magazine. Everything was beautifully thought out and made our time there so special.” – Debbie C.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The Balcony Suite (Bedroom 1) is the primary, with its own private balcony overlooking the water, a king bed, and a sitting area for morning coffee. The Poolside Room (Bedroom 2) is on the ground floor with double glass doors that open directly to the pool and ocean view. The Garden Room (Bedroom 3) is spacious with plenty of windows and a king bed. The Bunk Room (Bedroom 4) features four custom-built Twin XL bunks, each with its own niche, LED reading light, and USB outlet, plus a shared video game console. Every bedroom has a Samsung Smart TV, wireless charging stations, and USB outlets at every bed.

The home has 3 full bathrooms, each with its own feel. The main-level bath has high ceilings, a walk-in shower, and a heated toilet seat. The upper bath has dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. The ground-level bath has a tub/shower combo with floor-to-ceiling tile.

“This house is 10 out of 10. Watching the sunrise from your own balcony is out of this world. This house has everything you can think of. The golf cart was a very nice convenience.” – Janette S.

OUTDOORS
This is where you'll spend most of your time. The gas-heated pool stays reliably warm through fall, winter, and spring, with a sun shelf and a large surrounding deck lit by string lights. Past the pool, a fenced seawall leads to the private dock with cleats for tying off a boat or jet ski, a floating kayak launch platform, and two kayaks with paddles and life vests in various sizes (including children's). As the sun goes down, underwater dock lights draw fish right up to you. The rooftop deck provides 360-degree views with both sunrise and sunset. At ground level, the
yard is lined with royal palms for privacy, with paver walkways, an outdoor shower, and a fire pit for evenings.

THE GOLF CART & BEACH ACCESS
The new 6-passenger electric golf cart is a game-changer. Indian Rocks Beach is a golf-cart- friendly town, so you can ride to the beach (about 1,000 yards from the front door), park in a designated beachfront cart spot, and skip the traffic and parking hassle entirely. We provide beach chairs, towels, and toys. After the beach, hop back on the cart and cruise to dinner at one of the local spots.

BOATING & WATER ACCESS
Bring your own boat or rent locally. The refurbished dock has large cleats and easy on/off access. From the backyard, you can head out onto Tampa Bay and reach restaurants, islands, and cities with marinas. Dunedin is about a 20-minute boat ride. Or grab the kayaks and explore the Intracoastal at your own pace.

"Absolutely beautiful property with every amenity you could ask for. The photos don't fully capture how nice it is in person. 10/10 experience and easily the best hosts we've had." -Garrett
