If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing, fun-filled weekend getaway you have come to the right place!
Magnolia Springs is a small and quaint community that was established back in the early 1700s and only incorporated in 2006. Mail is still delivered via boat to the residents along the enchanting Magnolia River!
Whether you are scheduling a much-needed break to unwind or celebrating a life milestone with your best friends, Camellia Cove has exactly what you’re looking for. The home is stocked with everything you need, from coffee to kayaks to bikes, and even a golf cart named “Fannie” in honor of the town’s southern author, Fannie Flagg, who penned “A Red Bird Christmas” there.
Start your day with morning coffee on the porch or on the pier just steps away from your front door!
Cruise into Fairhope for a fabulous brunch at The Hope Farm and follow that with some shopping or antiquing.
Hop in the kayak or take the paddle board and spend the afternoon cruising the river and floating and swimming at The Cold Hole, use the bikes and go for a leisurely ride through Magnolia Springs, or get cozy with a book.
In the evening, take the golf cart to Jesse’s Restaurant for a wonderful menu you won’t forget. And for those celebrating birthdays – complimentary bread pudding is a special treat!
Or, stay in and revel in the stunning sunset on the pier and you just may get a treat when dolphins come into the cove for their evening meal! And in the fall, it is always a possibility of a manatee and a calf or two.
If relaxing is on your mind, enjoy the wonderful hot tub/spa and outdoor cedar shower under the oaks! Or soak in your own claw foot tub with bubbles and bath salts.
The screened porches – or firepit encircled with Adirondack chairs – are a must for great conversation.
However you choose to spend your time, you will leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle real life.
I hope to see you soon!
