Family get away

This was the BEST VRBO that I have stayed in. They offered so much extra and I was very impressed. When we rent again we will stary with Bill. All of his properties are wonderful. When texting him, he would get back to me very quickly. I can not say enough about this property and owner. This is a must STAY. You will not be disappointed. L Conn

Great Place for family!

We really enjoyed our stay here, spent Thanksgiving and had everything we needed in the kitchen to make a great meal. We had the heated pool for all but 1.5 days, but the owner was quick to send someone out to fix it. Would absolutely come back! Beautiful house!

Amazing Property

We stayed at Dragonfly in October with four adults and six teenagers and it was a perfect set up. The house was beautiful and had all the amenities and then some. The beds, pillows and linens were all comfortable and plenty were available. All the beach supplies offered for use only added to a perfect long weekend in Gulf Shores. Would highly recommend staying at Dragonfly, Bill was wonderful to work with.

Book it now! The Dragonfly is the perfect Beach House!

The house is gorgeous, upscale, beautiful inside & out! The location is convenient but quiet. Plenty of roomy parking, house is just across the street from the beach with beach access across from the driveway. Every beach accessory you may need is provided, from chairs & umbrellas, to wagon & toys if you have little ones. Inside the home, the decor is absolutely gorgeous, light and bright with beautiful teakwood furniture. Beds are very comfortable (& I’m really picky about beds!), master bed is soft memory foam but very supportive, bedrooms & bathrooms are spacious & every little detail is thought of when it comes to amenities throughout the house. Lots of outdoor deck and poolside space with furniture; the pool is beautiful, the perfect size with a sunbathing deck & built in seating, and was a nice cool dip since the temp was still in the low 90’s while we were there. I only wish we had more pool time and beach time because the ocean was the most clear and blue I’ve seen it in many years, with a nice breeze. I don’t have one negative thing to say about the property or our stay. It was perfect, & Bill is an excellent host who is readily available for any questions or issues, should they arise. We are already thinking about a big family vacation back to The Dragonfly in the future! Thank you Bill for beautiful accommodations and a memorable weekend!

This house must be new! Wonderfully decorated, so comfortable and right across from the Gulf of Mexico. The property has everything we needed to enjoy our stay! Check in was easy and the host kept in touch to ensure we were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

Great House, dirty pool

Pool completely covered with algae when we arrived, but light green. When we left it looked like a dark green fish pond. House was very nice and well equipped, just disappointed with pool.

Absolutely Amazing Beach Home!

We loved Dragonfly and the owner Bill was great to work with. Checked in with us frequently and accommodated all our needs immediately. The home was clean, well decorated, and perfect for our family. The home was centrally located to all the fun areas in Gulf Shores and a few steps from the beach access. Bill had plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The attention to detail was perfect. We loved the fully stocked coffee bar and all the little amenities included. The backyard pool and covered patio was great. Our family loved the dragonfly and will definitely be back next summer!

Wonderful house and stay

We loved our stay at this house. Highly recommend it and would love to stay here again. There were 14 of us - 8 adults and 6 kids. It was perfect. The house had everything we needed. It was clean, beautiful, large kitchen, large bedrooms, beach stuff, bikes were great…stay here! Bill was very responsive and even had a hand mixer delivered to the house as we needed it to make a recipe for our Fourth of July celebration. Staying here is a must!

Wonderful property and great views

We had a great time! The weather was too cold to get in the sea but the heated pool came to our rescue. It's a beautiful property with amazing views from the decks. We were 3 families traveling together and had ample space for everyone to spread around the two levels. Would love to be back during the warmer months.

Perfect House

We had a wonderful stay at this property for our extended family vacation! The kids enjoyed the beach and pool options. This house is fully stocked with everything you need. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon for the beach. We enjoyed the cornhole game and bikes as well. There is plenty of space in the house and on the outdoor balconies to break away from the large group for some time to yourself. We enjoyed the large indoor and outdoor dining tables. We never even needed to contact the host, because we had everything we needed at all times. The King sized beds were so comfortable. Highly recommend this property.

Amazing!!!

We stayed at Dragonfly while we came to Gulf Shores for a softball tournament, and it was AMAZING!!! The house was immaculate and there was so much space to eat and relax! The girls loved the bikes, the bunkbeds, and the fact that there were so many outlets to charge their phones. Parents loved sitting on the front and back decks to enjoy the breeze while watching the kids play in the pool. The bathrooms are huge, and the washer and dryer were awesome!! The hosts were timely, polite, and great communicators! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would never want to stay anywhere else!!

Perfect Vacation Spot

Our stay at Dragonfly was EXCELLENT! Bill is a great host and the house was exactly as described and matched the pictures. There were so many amenities provided, it was a delightful surprise. The three balconies and pool were constantly used. Both adults and kids thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this home as a great place to stay.
