The Space:
Welcome to The Story House. Walk inside and enjoy the ambience of a place dedicated to a love for stories, and create your own family vacation tale in this beautiful beach house!

This house finds its home in Magnolia Cottages by the Sea, a cozy community on 30a, close to unique shopping, restaurants, several state parks, the 18 mile Timpoochee bike/walk trail,  and a very short bike ride to Aly’s, Rosemary, and Seacrest Beaches.

The open living/dining area provides space for relaxing in comfort and style. Step out and you'll find a private screened porch surrounded by Florida palms and brush. There are two porch swings for your children's joy or an afternoon with a friend or a book. A table and chair set is ready for a lunch outside in with hints of sea air.

The triple bunkbed is just where your kids will want to to rest after a day of fun in the ocean waves, with an adjoining carpeted space for play or a movie. The master bedroom with ensuite bath is a peaceful retreat for parents with a canopy bed framed by a wall of coconut leaves. A third bedroom offers another queen bed with ensuite bath, with an additional bed by way of a pull-out sofa in the living room. Throughout the house you will find watercolors of favorite childhood stories by artist Elizabeth Wade (calling friends of Narnia!).

You can easily prepare family meals in the fully equipped kitchen, then enjoy them at the breakfast bar or gather around the dining table for memorable family dinners.

With deeded beach access a 2 minute walk from your door, you can have every day bathed in sun and surf on the lovely white shores of the Gulf Coast.
You are invited to plan your family seaside story at The Story House, Magnolia Cottages by the Sea!
