The owner, Jerry, was quick to respond and very helpful when needed. The property was extremely private and the pool was excellent! The outdoor shower was key for me! I don't think I ever toook one inside. The house itself was a perfect size for my wife and I and the location was excellent. We will definitely be back.

I don't know where to start. Everything about Dragonfly was great! It was very clean, things all worked as they should. The beds were comfortable. Jerry was easy to connect with if we had questions prior to arrival and was still offering tips during our stay if we asked. All questions before, during, and after our stay were answered quickly and courteously. We have already booked again for next year!!

Poolside Paradise

This was our first visit to the Keys and we were very pleased. The house is cozy and clean, and the outdoor pool area is phenomenal. Jerry and Lynn were wonderful hosts. The only bad part of the trip was returning to central Illinois weather.

Relaxing vibes with the best location on the keys

We loved this property. Very close to everything but still felt like a tropical get away. The pool was amazing. Beds were comfortable and the space was everything described in the listing. The outdoor shower was also a perk. We loved having laundry on site as well. Super convenient and all the things you could need. Hosts were very attentive and answered al of our questions. The snorkel gear readily available was a cool addition and kept us from renting gear while staying in the area. Would consider staying here again.

Beautiful outdoor patio, amazing pool, and a very well air conditioned house. We had a great week here, only thing we wished was different was the jacuzzi connected to the pool was the same temperature as the pool, other than that, fantastic host and property.

We much enjoyed our week at the Dragonfly Lite. The communication from the owner and property manager is excellent, timely, fast. The home is nicely decorated and very clean. The pool and the entire backyard is visually very pleasant, comfortable, clean, and perfect for a family. We loved the privacy fence that the property provided.

Great Trip

We had an amazing time at your rental! The pool was warm & we enjoyed spending our days in the beautiful yard. The property was clean, cozy and absolutely perfect for us. They had even put a bottle of champagne in the fridge to surprise us for our anniversary! It was a very thoughtful gesture. Jerry checked in prior to arrival and during our stay to ensure everything was going well. We were able to walk to the Lazy Daze restaurant and other restaurants are a short drive away. We will definitely look into staying here again when coming back to the Keys. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Backyard paradise

Perfect yard to relax. Sitting areas, grilling area beautiful swimming pool and fresh bananas. House was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was small but functional. Close to restaurants, mini golf, sunset cruise and the old 7mi. bridge thats perfect for walking, keep an eye on the water we saw sea turtles and stingrays. The sun sets right across the street. It was very quiet during our stay

Favorite Marathon Stay!

This is the second year our family of 4 chose to stay at the Dragonfly Lite! We love how close it is to our other favorites, Keys Fisheries, Stuffed Pig, Castaway but still a hidden gem right off US 1. Walking into the gate it is always amazing how this place exists right off the main highway! It’s beautiful with the palm trees and lounging areas set up around pool. Our kids loved swimming in the pool in the evenings after our local adventures. I loved the outside reading area and outside shower. The host, Jerry has made it a real oasis and Barbie, the property manager is eager to help if any problems arise. We always look forward to our time in the Keys and when we go back, we’ll continue to stay here.

Dragonfly Lite, week in paradise

Everything here was perfect. Property manager, Barbie met us at house to orient us to everything. She did a great job, and I felt comfortable contacting her for needs, but we had none. Very clean inside and out. Beach chairs and umbrella provided as well as beach towels. Kitchen had everything needed if you want to cook. Close to many excellent restaurants. And the pool...so beautiful and relaxing, very private. Great location to explore the Keys if you can tear yourslef away from the pool. Property owner also communicated frequently with suggestions for fishing tours, activities, etc. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and hope to return soon.

Just what we needed after a chaotic and sometimes stressful last year or so. Comfortable place with a pool that was perfect to paddle around in, do a version of some water aerobics moves, and enjoy the jacuzzi action. It felt more like a family home than an impersonal rental. We did nothing but read and enjoy the pool. We walked to the restaurant at the marina and had some good food. Even though we just stayed around the pool, there's tons to do around there. We plan on going back.
