Brand New/Heated pool/50 Steps to Beach/Fire Pit

Dragonfly is a brand new construction custom home that is almost beach front and professionally decorated with high end finishes that is not common in Gulf Shores. It is fully loaded with everything you need and will want from the new home smell to the heated pool, bikes, fire pit, arcade games, corn hole, chef's kitchen, 4 king bedrooms, full coffee bar and did I mention you will be 50 steps from the beach.

If you're sick and tired of old run down beach houses then Dragonfly will blow you away.

Dragonfly has been designed with you in mind as we want you to immediately feel relaxed when you walk in the front door. Tremendous attention has been paid to the textures, color palette, and placement of every little detail in the house.

The layout of the house and the additional game room is perfect for families to gather and to separate when needed so you can have your own space.

The kids can fight it out on the playing Pacman and Galaga in the game room while mom and dad enjoy a nice cabernet on the front deck listing to the waves or chilling at the pool. Pool heating fee during the winter is $50 day

From the time you book until check out we are here to serve you and answer any questions that may arise, but we will give you your space and not bother you.

Dragonfly is located 50 steps form the beach in West Beach which is just 1.5 miles from The Hangout. It is close enough to access everything, bur far enough away to separate from the tourist attractions.

Located in the most desirable location in West Beach in Gulf Shores you will be right in the middle of all the action as you are 1.5 miles to The Hangout, .5 miles to The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails, .5 miles to Waves for convenient shopping, 4 miles to Rouse's Grocery, 3.5 miles to Waterville, a 20 minute drive to OWA amusement park, and 10 steps to your own private pool.

Our stay at the property was nice, there was enough space for a family group of 10 amd plenty of parking. It was easy to prepare and serve meals in the kitchen as it was well stocked with all necessities. The home was well decorated and clean. The availability of beach wagons, chairs and toys made beach outings easy. The public beach access was a few short steps from the driveway and we able to see dolphins from the front porch. Our family also enjoyed games on the ping pong table throughout our trip.There were only a few negatives from our stay. The bbq grill could use a good cleaning, the grease build up caused flare ups, making it difficult to use. Also, in communication with the property manager we were told there would be bikes and a fire pit available for our use on the property, but they had been removed prior to our arrival. The property manger informed me the removal was due to insurance purposes.

I've been renting condos and homes in gulf shores area for decades and this host paid great attention to details in the home that made our stay easy and even more enjoyable. They go above ans beyond with the things they offer their guests in the home. From extra laundry detergent, to an array of ziplock bags and glacier waters in every room and in fridge. This little detail makes the difference to me. Loved the home and will be back. Thank you!

Beautiful property with all the amenities. Steps away from the beach and the private pool was perfect for cooling off from a day in the sun. I joked it was too nice because my friends didn’t want to go out, they just wanted to stay in!

It’s a beautiful home! There are a few things I wasn’t happy about. Some dirty dishes/ pans and utensils that weren’t clean that were in the cabinets ready to be used. We took the couch apart to look for a lost phone and the crumbs inside the couch were disgusting!So that is why I gave them three stars

Property was top notch. Loved the extras like the coffee choices, milkshake bar ( we used it multiple times), personal items, etc. The pool was great, a little warm on day one but after that was perfect. We needed to move some decorative items out of harms way to make it more kid friendly.Would stay again and recommend to others.

Our Family Stay at Beautiful Dragonfly

My family has stayed at many VRBO rentals in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, but this is the first time our rental was exactly as described. The house was perfect, immaculate, and full of guest details. Bill truly thought of everything.....a well stocked coffee bar, beach cart, chairs, and umbrellas, and even starter washer pods, detergent, and enough tp and paper towels for the week!And to top it off, the house is right across the street from the most beautiful beach. Thank Bill for a truly wonderful week.

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.
