Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family—including your pups—had such a wonderful stay. It’s great to know you enjoyed the location and appreciated the quality of the appliances and overall upkeep of the home. We take pride in keeping everything well maintained for our guests. We’d absolutely love to host you again for another stay!
I gave a 5 star in accuracy of location, however the pictures online do not do this home justice. This home is absolutely beautiful. Very well laid out and an amazing porch for early morning coffee drinking or nighttime reading and relaxing. The home comes complete with a gorgeous kitchen. I only wished we could stay longer so I can use it. Location is absolutely perfect a short walk to the beach. Pricing is high but the home is worth it.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
We truly appreciate you pointing out that the home exceeds expectations in person—we love hearing that it made such a great impression. It’s great to know you enjoyed the layout, the porch for relaxing mornings and evenings, and the kitchen (even if you didn’t get to use it as much as you’d hoped!).
We’re also glad the location made getting to the beach easy and convenient for your stay.
We understand pricing is an important factor, and we’re grateful for your recognition of the value the home provides. We would absolutely love to have you back for a longer stay next time so you can fully enjoy everything the home has to offer!
Property was absolutely gorgeous! We have stayed in this area before and we loved how close to the beach we were. The back screen in porch was our favorite. With the swing and tv we were able to hang out at night and watch a movie with the kids. One night we were even able to hear the live music from the coffee shop. The three bedrooms and three baths were great too. Tips for owners would be to include a broom and a dustpan. There was a small dirt devil but wish I had a broom.

The location is perfect. Quiet and wooded but close to the beach. The house was clean and well furnished. Wish they had beach towels for guests to use. The porch was our favorite place to spend time. Would stay again.

Hello Erica! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the Magnolia Mermaid! I see you have stayed with Sand Dollar One Vacation Rentals before! We love our return guests! Let us know when you can come back down!
Everything about this place is awesome! About a 5 minute or less walk from doorstep to the beach. We loved the quiet beach community. The house was very clean and it is well kept. We also loved how shady the lot is. It is a very relaxing atmosphere. This place is one of the few places we found that allowed our great dane. We would definitely book this place again in the future.
