Excellent Place for the family

We only needed one night and it was great. We are hoping to come back during the summer and bring our boat with us. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Such a great vacation spot

We spent 7 nights at the Dragonfly. It was the best! So relaxing, everything you need to cook with, the entire home was spotless, golf cart rental was the perfect! The dock was great for keeping our boat at, we would eat breakfast and then head out each morning. The host was great to work with, left some airpods and called and he had them on the way the next day. Ready to go back on a trip to the Dragonfly!

Lovely in every way!

This home was lovely in every possible way! It was spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very well stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room. The beds were all very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the huge back porch, where we drank our coffee in the mornings and watched movies at night. Our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay!

The house was spacious and very clean. We love the neighborhood, it is fairly quiet. The only issue I had was that the kitchen items could have been slightly better. The cheese shredder is tiny and we LOVE cheese so that was slightly annoying. Other than that the place is very nice. The property owner is super responsive and kind. The beach is incredibly close by. Overall, a great place, wouldn't mind renting again.

Fish were Biting!

A fantastic place to stay even if just for a short four night trip. Much more than I expected. Everything you could possibly need is there. beds were comfortable. Loved that we could pull the boat up to the dock. We caught fish all three days the third day we caught 59 and 40 were keepers just kept enough for dinner. Hopefully we can stay again someday.

TOP NOTCH

This property is wonderful. Just as pictured, Extremely clean and comfortable, all kinds of extras that just make the stay very comfortable and enjoyable and a host that is very responsive to questions. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone that we met there was extremely friendly. For us the sun porch was the best part. We spent hours out there enjoying the views of the water and birds. And the peacefulness of the place. We will definitely be back.
