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!

Inlet Beach is a great starting point for exploring Walton County’s eastern 30A corridor, with easy access to nearby beach towns and plenty of options for biking and driving. Many guests love using the Timpoochee Trail (30A’s bike path) for scenic rides into Rosemary Beach and beyond, while a vehicle is helpful for grocery runs, beach hopping, and day trips across South Walton. Traveling to/around the area - Explore by foot, by bike, or by car: • A car is recommended for exploring beyond the immediate 30A corridor, as rideshares and taxis can be limited and wait times can vary. • Biking is one of the best ways to experience 30A—use the Timpoochee Trail to reach nearby beaches, dining, and shopping areas safely and enjoyably. • Walking works well for short trips and beach access days, but plan to drive for larger grocery runs and farther excursions. • Bike rentals are widely available along 30A if you want extra bikes for your group—helmets are recommended, and the paths can get busy during peak season.
