Unique Benefits
PRIVATE BEACH!! We didn't like fighting for a spot on the beach or being in the second or third rows of chairs & umbrellas staying at the large condo's or the Hilton resort! At our home you can literally walk out the back door, down a private board walk on to the beach. How convenient is that for returning with cold drinks or a quick nap inside the air-conditioning. We love all 3 decks overlooking the Emerald waters and the views from the living area, kitchen and master bedroom! We can see the dolphins swimming by or step out to a seasonal turtle nest in the sand and count how many hatchings!

Owner Info
SEA-E-O Luxury Vacation Rentals, LLC
Year Purchased: 2014
About the owner: We have been coming to Emerald Coast/Destin with our 7 children since 1989. As you can tell we are very pro family! We purchased The Magnificat for this reason! We needed space primarily bedroom and bathrooms for everyone to be happy including the spouses of our children and future grandchildren. We had a very difficult time finding a home on the beach with lots of bedrooms on the beach! We rented condos, homes and hotel rooms over the years from Navarre Beach to Santa Rosa Beach. We are very particular and family type owners knowing what Renters are looking for! After searching real estate properties for over 7 years, we knew we found the perfect place for our family vacation or long weekend getaways to invite our friends to the beach!
Why this property? LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!! On the BEACH! The Magnificat is located in a private old south Florida subdivision directly adjacent to the Sandestin resort!. Walking distance to the Sandestin resort along the beach. Drive one street light away to the East and you will find Baytown shops and restaurants. To the West, go one street light to the Silver Sands outlet!

Beautiful
We rented this for a beach wedding for family and guests. The location was excellent with perfect beach access. There was plenty of room for groups to gather without feeling confined. The owner is very prompt in replies and had good suggestions for activities and dining. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful
This was a 60th anniversary celebration with our children and grandchildren. The home, Magnificat was all that we could hope for and more. Everyone had a wonderful, blessed time. Wish we could have stayed a week. Thank you! Vivian Bonventre

30A Away
This property was indeed one of the best houses we have rented for our yearly family vacation. The home was spacious and the layout was perfect for our four children and their families. Kitchen was stocked perfectly and had everything we needed to cook with. The three decks gave perfect views to the ocean and was covered so we had shade from the sun. I can't say enough good things about this home. It made our vacation wonderful.

Fabulous 40th
We celebrated our 40th anniversary with 5 couples at this amazing home. This was our first try at renting a property and we are sure this is the standard to measure against as this was far above what we expected and the owners are obviously truly interested in this being a very good experience. If your looking to rent a property this should be as far as you go as we are certain everything else will pale in comparison.
