Magnolia Place

SNOWBIRDS NEST HERE

The owners have authorized Christies to negotiate on stays of 30 days and more. Did you know that if you stay 90 days, there is no state sales tax. This alone can save you 12%. Contact us for the best winter stay you have ever had.

Magnolia Place is one of our favorite larger properties that can accommodate up to 10 people. This attractive Southern home is located on a tree-lined street in the City of Long Beach Mississippi adjacent to the University of Southern Mississippi campus. The beach is a few blocks away as is a vibrant downtown area and harbor. This small city celebrates with parades and events all year. If you live in a large crowded city or suburb and want to “come home” this truly is a slice of Americana. Both our property and the surroundings.

You will love the live oaks and other trees on our property and surrounding it. The house in located on a large property with a front yard large enough to host games. The backyard is wide open. Don’t forget to bring some wood for the fire pit. This is one of the most popular items at a Mississippi Gulf Coast property. Did I mention there is plenty of parking in the very long driveway?

Enter the house through the electronic lock, no need for keys. The door is covered by a nice lighted porch. Most people enter through the side door which is closer to the drive area. Inside you will find a large formal dining area in a large open area with a giant flat screen. A great room for gatherings.

The first bedroom is located at the end of the living room with four twin beds. A great place for kids or even adults. Walk around to the fully equipped kitchen and laundry room and enter the formal living room. You will discover a number of nooks with seating for private conversations (or where the teenagers can use their iPhones).

The next bedroom has a full-sized bed and is elegantly decorated. The large formal living room in front of the fireplace (non-operational) is a great place to relax and enjoy the company of others.

The third bedroom contains two twin beds and is decorated as nicely as all of the other bedrooms. Around the corner is the master bedroom with a queen-sized encased in a white antique finished head and footboard. This bedroom comes with its own bathroom.

The very large two-room bath is in the center of the house and serves the other bedrooms. This massive area allows multiple people to get ready at the same time. Great for coming home after swimming at the beach all day. Preparing to go out for entertainment in the evening is a breeze.

Everything is available for your stay to be memorable. Cook meals, wash your Beach wear, enjoy the fire pit, or just hang around. Don’t miss walking around on the University campus and seeing one of the oldest live oak trees in existence. Don’t forget to go to the beach. You can walk to the beach (15 minutes) or drive over, park for free and after your beach time, try one of the beach-close restaurants.

Consider bringing the family to the Mississippi Gulf Coast when your daughter or son registers for their first semester. Simply walk onto the campus from our beautiful property. Family reunions are another reason to stay at Magnolia Place.

A washer, dryer, and laundry detergent are located on the property.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and of course our coffee service. Pots, pans, and everything you need to prepare meals are available for you.

The private yard is all yours and contains a fire pit and a BBQ ready for your enjoyment. The yard is fenced on three sides away from the street. Parking is available for three vehicles just outside the entrance door. Our property is freshly renovated with all new furniture and updated kitchen appliances.

While this is a brick house, you may be interested to know that it was built in 1880 and has gone through some changes since that time. Your accommodation will be located in one of two ground-level units that are part of a single building (a duplex). Each of the two units has its private entrance and a private yard.

This modern property is so close to the beach that there is no need to drive. Great restaurants are within a five-minute drive as are the Discovery Center and Centennial Plaza. The Mississippi Aquarium is ten minutes away. Several casinos offer not only great restaurants but also entertainment.

We named this property the Least Tern Nest after the Least Tern found on the beach near this property. These birds are protected and their nesting areas are fenced off on the beach to protect their eggs. This beautiful bird reflects what we offer at this property. FYI, this building was built in 1880, that’s 142 years ago. It’s as charming now as it was when it was built and the owners pulled up in their horse-drawn carriage.

PETS: A small dog is permitted upon request and after payment of the pet fee.
