My husband and I recently stayed several nights at Magnolia House and we couldn't be happier. Jen is an amazing host who has taken care of every detail, from comfortable bedding/linens to a well-stocked kitchen to the most relaxing and well appointed lanai. It happened to be too cold to enjoy the pool but the hot tub was a great treat. The house feels luxurious and the location is perfect for us. The garage is stocked with any beach gear you'd need. Jen really has thought of everything and we appreciate how easy it is to arrive and begin to relax in this beautiful home!

Wonderful Stay in Sarasota
Our family had a great stay at the Magnolia House!!! Jen was a pleasure to work with, and the house was very clean, comfortable and well located. We had everything we needed for a perfect home away from home: a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture and beds, beach chairs and towels, pickleball paddles and balls, and well functioning appliances and laundry equipment. We would not hesitate to return if our travels bring us back to Sarasota.

Beautiful House and Location
The house was clean, comfortable and beautiful. The pool was well maintained, the quality and comfortability of the home was impressive. The pictures do not do its justice! I’ve stayed in quite a few vacation rentals and the host at this one has been exceptional. Her responsiveness to any questions we had, everything in the home is clearly labeled and her suggestions on where to eat and what to do while in town helped greatly. We can not wait to stay again. Thank you for everything , Jen!

Also, everything is labeled at the home and is very organized which we really appreciated. The access to downtown and other dinner spots is great.

We have only wonderful things to say about Jen’s home. It is a cut above other rentals in the area with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds in all the rooms. The location was perfect for exploring the area and the outdoor space is, well, perfect.
We are looking forward to coming back soon.

This is like your home away from home, you want for nothing because it’s all there. Our trip consisted of 4 of us, myself, 2 adult daughters & 7 yr old granddaughter, we loved the layout for us so we each had our privacy. The beds were wonderful and we slept like babies. We absolutely loved the pool/hot tub and outside patio area!!! We played games, watched movies, used the game table and relaxed. The home is perfectly located to all the places we went so that was great. Our host Jen was amazing from start to finish, checking in to see how things were and if we needed anything. Next time we know where we will stay. Thanks for opening your home to my family. Robyn, Crystal, Jessi & WaverlyPlainfield, IL

Dear Robyn, Crystal, Jessi & Waverly,
Your kind words truly made my day! I’m so happy Magnolia House gave you the space, comfort, and privacy to fully unwind and enjoy your time together. It sounds like you really loved the lanai and that you managed to have fun movie nights, poolside fun and enjoy the Infinity game table.
It was such a joy to host your wonderful family. I’d be honored to welcome you back anytime the Sarasota sunshine calls—don’t wait too long, though… dates tend to book up quickly!
Warmly,
Jen
Magnolia house was exactly what we were looking for. We always look for a place that has the “WOW” factor. From the moment you open the front door, you see why you chose this house. It was beautifully decorated, with artwork on most walls throughout the house. The house was updated, clean and very comfortable. Not to mention it’s in a great location for the area. But that lanai, was where we spent most of our time relaxing, in the pool and soaking in the hot-tub. The communication with the Owner and Host Jen was absolutely amazing. Jen was so helpful in recommending places of interest, things to do, restaurants and so much more. She stayed in contact with us every few days, just to see if there was something more she might be able to help with. This house is exceptional and so is the Owner and Host Jen.

I am glad I could provide with you a genuine, “Wow” experience from the moment you stepped through the front door. The lanai seems to always be a guest favorite, and so I am thrilled you enjoyed lounging by the pool and hot tub. You were some of the most courteous and kind guests I have hosted. I look forward to welcoming you back when you and Wayne are ready to get away in the Florida sunshine for some extra special R & R.
Warmly,

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful home, the amenities and the management. We loved the location, close to downtown and easy to get to beaches. Very nice neighborhood. The home itself is so comfortable, well decorated, well maintained and stocked with great amenities. Kitchen has everything anyone would need, beds were super comfortable, and the outdoor living space was such a treat. Pool/hot tub are pristine and outdoor kitchen/grill area was clean and great for having meals in. Everything about this house is well thought out and you can tell Jen is super intuitive about what guests need and want. Jen was also very responsive to any questions and made everything easy. Highly recommend and can’t wait to stay again!

Best Rental Ever
We have rented many vacation rentals in both Florida and Michigan and this is by far the best. The house itself is outstanding and the personal service Jen provides takes it over the top. From the excellent location, extra comfy beds, gorgeous pool and lanai, perfect pool float oh and did I say location? Whether you are a beach or pool person this house is for you. The house is just two blocks from Siesta Drive that takes you to the #1 beach in the world. There we absolutely no surprises when we got to the house. The video shows exactly what the house offers. Wish we didn't have to leave but we will be back! Thanks Jen!
