Excellent Home for our Retreat

The Dragonfly was an amazing setting for our annual women's beach retreat! The house was wonderfully equipped, gorgeous and perfectly roomy for the women to get away and relax for the weekend! Easy entry and clean up upon check out made the trip easy and breezy for each of us!

Thanksgiving with the family.

House is beautiful, great lay out. The view is spectacular. The only recommendation I have is updating some of the kitchen knives and containers with lids. We would definitely recommend this house!

Perfect Beach House

My family and I stayed in the Dragonfly recently. We had our 4 adult children and their spouses. This house was absolutely perfect for us. The kitchen is so big and had everything we could have possibly needed. The deck and space downstairs was perfect. We spent lots of time on the deck area playing games and enjoying the views. The path to the beach was so nice. We will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location and plenty of room

Very clean. Owners were very responsive and informative. Check-in was so easy. Much more space than what we originally thought. Love the kitchen setup with the long table/bar area - plenty of seating so we could all eat together. Great access to the beach whether you walk or drive your vehicle on the beach. We will definitely rent again.

Hear the waves and feel the breeze

Beautiful house big enough for 17 of us. On the deck you always felt the breeze and heard the waves. House is huge inside with plenty of room to move around and sleep comfortable for 17 woman. Under the house was great for gathering in the hot part of the day. Parking was in abundance so no worries on how many cars can fit. Loved it! All appliances worked great and no overflow of garbage outside!

Great place to stay!

18 of us, grandkids to grandparents, enjoyed the Dragonfly house for a long weekend - we loved the house. It is just as stated - beachfront with public access right next to it. Great deck, large living & kitchen area, plenty of parking. More than met our expectations. The only downside - which is a downside to every beach house built since Hurricane Ike - the stairs are REALLY steep - so if you have any senior citizens or folks with mobility issues, this can be a problem. Other than that, everything was perfect. Very clean, communication with the host was easy, everything we needed was there. We hope to come back!

Great Beachfront Property!

We comfortably slept 5 families of 4. We had several small children so the loft was perfect along with the HUGE kitchen and living space. All of the beds were comfortable, including pillows and bedding. All the bathrooms were very clean and lots of space for everything and everyone. Not pictured was the ground floor outdoor space - which was great for hanging out, relaxing, and plenty of parking. We ended up bringing extra "beach" vehicles and had a total of 7. There's also a short walk path that takes you straight to the beach. It was well tended to, so there were no worries of unexpected possible critters! It's a short drive around a block basically to get your vehicle(s) beachside in front of the house for carrying coolers, chairs, etc. I definitely recommend for large groups and families! Thank you for a great staycation!

Beautiful Home

Beautiful and clean! The pictures don't do it justice. My family of 8 adults and 3 children stayed here over the New Years holiday. This location provides excellent access to the beach. The deck was a great place to relax and watch the ocean. A gate leading down off the deck kept the two year old from helping himself to the beach unsupervised. The kitchen covered all the basics well. I will say my only disappointment was the day we went to Galveston Island and had to wait one hour on the ferry system on the way over and two hours on the return home. I don't know if the Ferry system wasn't prepared for the number of visitors (the weather was warm so there were a lot of people) or if this is somewhat typical but it dampened our desire to go do tours and we had planned to do a dolphin tour. Nevertheless, this location feels more secluded than most and that was what I was after when booking.

Great Property

The house was clean, and we were satisfied with the amenities. The entire group is 60 or more years of age, and the complaint was there was no restroom facility on the ground level with such a beautiful area and having to go up and down the stairs.

Amazing Thanksgiving

Dragonfly was perfect for our 2 day Thanksgiving celebration. We were a large group of 20 but everyone had their own comfortable space, and the common areas never felt crowded. It is a well-appointed house with a well-stocked kitchen. The layout is great with easy access to rooms and bathrooms. It is right on the water and we enjoyed both sunrise and sunset right on the balcony, and relaxing walks on the beach. Easy and fast communication with property manager and a smooth check in/out process. A great vacation house to have had indeed. We plan to be back, God willing. Thanks for an amazing Thanksgiving venue!
