The formal dining room with its reproduction Colonial Williamsburg wallpaper and matching drapes is ideal for a romantic candlelit dinner or a pizza party.

We stayed here while we were in town for a speech and debate tournament being held in downtown Jacksonville. Was a perfect location and not far from the church. Loved the house. Beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. Was like stepping back in time.

Most unique vintage house in Springfield

The Sugar Magnolia House is a wonderful and unique turn of the century home to transport you back to the 1920's. Even though all the furnishings and decorations have the vintage charm, the home is yet furnished with the modern conveniences of air conditioning and wifi. From the large front porch to the extensive backyard, this space can be used for any family or occasion, big or small. The host was very accomodating and awesome. I highly recommend this getaway home!

Amazing

We absolutely loved the place! The kids didn’t want to leave, they had so many rooms to explore and enjoyed just lounging around and relaxing. The house is beautiful, huge and was very clean! We were provided plenty of towels and soap. The kitchen also provided everything we needed to cook a meal. We would definitely love to stay again in the near future!

Charming Home!

I stayed at Sugar Magnolia House for a weekend with some friends for a girl’s trip. The property owner was so kind and helpful. The house was decorated beautifully and the historic notes were preserved really well. We loved exploring everything and enjoyed time in what we coined the “red room.” So fun!

Relaxing, gorgeous stay.

Better than pictured, the property was gorgeous and spacious! I had a great stay with my friends and family. Melody answered any questions I had promptly and was easy to communicate with and made our stay comfortable. She even provided towels and toiletries for each of the guests. As a studying preservation architect, I still cannot get over her property and look forward to coming back in the future! (Nice selection of vinyls too might I add)

Beautiful home in the Springfield neighborhood with so much charm and character. Close to restaurants. Walkability of the neighborhood is excellent even in the Florida summer as the streets are lined with majestic oaks. Melody is an A+++ host. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful home. Great sitting areas to sit with friends and have fun. Walk to the stadium seems a bit questionable for safety reasons. We drive and found plenty of parking at stadium. Home was very clean and welcoming.

Girls Trip for Concert.

Love this beautiful home. The home has a wonderful 1920s feel. The house was clean, the kitchen had everything needed to make a meal and bed’s were comfortable. Plus plenty of towels in each room. The historical home is about 2 miles away from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena which was perfect for our trip. The lovely front porch with swing and the sitting area in the back yard make a great place to enjoy your morning coffee which was provided.

Historic, beautiful and comfortable place to stay!

My spouse and I had a tremendous experience staying at Sugar Magnolia! Very well appointed with tremendous antiques and many comfortable places to hang out and enjoy it. There was a nice coffee shop only a couple blocks away we enjoyed and also got a chance to see some more beautifully restored houses in the neighborhood. The accoutrements provided were especially thoughtful, k-cup coffee, things you may need around the kitchen, even a first aid kit! Thank you so very much for going above and beyond what we expect in a VRBO!

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

This historic house was perfect for my sister's surprise murder mystery party. I didn't have to decorate anything. Not pictured is the dining room that seats 6. We pulled up two extra chairs and everyone sat comfortably. Everyone was in character and we felt transported back in time. Clean up and close out was very straight forward. The house was the key to the party success and I am so glad I found it.

Relaxing and amazing stay

The property is well stocked and although it’s decorated beautifully, things are out of the way and therefore you don’t have to worry about something getting accidentally broken or damaged. We had our grandchildren over for a pizza making party (kitchen was well stocked!) and the kids had a great time exploring the house and making pizza. The backyard also has a wonderful pavilion made just for hanging out and relaxing along with a rocking chair front porch. Thank you for an amazing stay

10th wedding anniversary

We loved our stay and the host was so kind and gave us a bottle of wine for our anniversary. The pictures on VRBO for this property don’t give it justice. This home is beautiful with such old charm and modern technology. We enjoyed the kitchen and the sunroom for breakfast and made dinner Friday night and ate at the big dining room table. Also easy to travel to the beach and back with ease. Found a great place for our Saturday night dinner only minutes away. Love, love this place.

Will absolutely stay again in beautiful historic home

I was so impressed with Sugar Magnolia House! These beautiful pictures don't do justice to the home's raw potential. I am local so I will absolutely come again! It was the perfect location for my birthday murder mystery dinner party and all of my guests were so impressed and amazed at the home's beauty. The home was fully stocked with everything I could need, toilet paper, plenty of towels, pots, pans, and even seasonings. The ice maker was a game changer and saved me so much time.
