We had a fantastic stay at this charming beach cottage. Located within a short walking distance to the beach, the convenience was unbeatable. However, renting a golf cart would work if necessary. The cottage itself is decorated impeccably, with a cozy and stylish ambiance. The beautiful neighborhood provided a serene and pleasant atmosphere for our family getaway. We particularly enjoyed the bonus grill outside which was perfect for evening barbecues. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing beach retreat!

Our stay was a 10/10. The house is absolutely stunning! It looks exactly as pictured- just beautiful! The host Jamie was so responsive and helpful and made our stay seamless! We enjoyed the privacy the home offered with the foliage and fenced in yard around the entire house. The upper deck with the swinging bed out back had a wonderful view and was a great way to start and end the day. The neighborhood pool was a hit with our kids and is conveniently located right by the house. The private beach access is located directly across from the neighborhood- highly recommend renting a golf cart and would 100% use Gulf Cart Coast Rental Co! With that being said, beach access is easily accessible by walking but with our two kids and all the beach gear we needed to bring we enjoyed the convenience of a gulf cart. Highly recommended staying here everything exceeded our expectations.

This beach cottage is beautiful. The inside is decorated very pretty and comfortable. The beds are super comfortable and the linens are amazing. We cooked in one night and the kitchen is stocked. All the dishes are very pretty. We loved the outdoor space. Two decks off the back that overlook the lake. Very spacious front porch! We will definitely book this cottage again. This is our 2nd stay in this beautiful neighborhood! It is very convenient to the beach and restaurants.

This was such a beautiful, cozy home. Decor was amazing with so much attention to detail! The owner also thought of so many extra things that you might need. Loved the makeup mirror and full length mirror in the master. Location was perfect. Right across from the beach. Very quiet neighborhood! Owner was very good about communicating as well! I would definitely stay again!

It was an incredible place. With all the amenities that you need. Everything is near. The private beach is so calm. The communication with host is great. I highly recommend this place and we’ll stay here again.

Very comfortable accommodations. Quiet, relaxing neighborhood.

We stayed at Dragonfly for Spring Break this year. The property was just as clean and well maintained as it was when we stayed there in 2018. The owner is very responsive - when we needed the new code for the pool she provided it quickly.

Lovely stay. Relaxing. Pristine environment . Very comfortable beds.

My family and myself absolutely love this place! Perfect location! The host is absolutely wonderful as well!!!!

Loved the porches! Sunrise at the Dragonfly Cottage is unforgettable. The decor is just what you need to feel like you're getting away from it all, and we loved walking our dog in the quiet neighborhood and on the state park trails. Easy to cook meals here too. Would love to return!

We had a wonderful stay here. It was cozy, clean, cute, quiet, convenient, and perfect for bringing a dog with the fenced in yard and lots of places to walk your dog. I definitely recommend getting a golf cart because then it’s so easy to get to the beach (drive to private beach access across from main entrance across street and park right before you get to the sand). My only qualms with the place was that the host doesn’t provide you with a guidebook of info/recommendations like we normally have been provided with other stays. So we had to contact her to ask where the private beach access is, and a few other questions. That being said, she did call us and give us this info quickly and was super nice and helpful when we communicated. Also, there’s a hose next to the house (which we had to figure out). And I will note there was a lot of construction in the neighborhood on the weekday (currently next door) - not a bother if you’re spending the day at the beach like we were but we couldn’t have enjoyed the balcony or screen-in porch during the day. You can also hear traffic from the street when outside. And you can’t see the ocean from the balcony (I thought that was a bit misleading). And sadly, the coffee shop/donut shop was closed. But it’s very quiet inside, the view is still nice, bed was comfy, TVs are smart TVs (we didn’t know that from the listing so brought a firestick). Overall we loved our stay and our dog had the best time. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is awesome. Just as pictured. The extra touches are great.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Dragonfly Cottage! The place was so clean inside and out! We especially loved all of the porch areas! My daughter loved the “swinging bed” upstairs so much that she slept outside most nights. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and safe! We rented a golf cart to help transport our beach items and everyone to the beach. It was a short .5 mile walk, but the kids definitely enjoyed the of the golf cart. Jamie was a wonderful hostess, always prompt responding to all my questions. We loved our time here and hope to return in the near future!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is gorgeous, the neighborhood is so nice and everything was so close by. The house is beautifully decorated and it was a perfect getaway.

The Dragonfly Cottage was beautiful, easy and perfect for our stay! The cottage was thoroughly appointed with everything you need including enough towels and wash cloths, which was a huge bonus! The appliances are all updated and the decor is absolutely beautiful! Our host, Jaimie, was WONDERFUL and so responsive through the process! We will definitely be back!

My husband and I rented this cottage for a 4 night stay at the beach because the pictures were stunning. I am pleased to say that the pictures accurately portrayed the home. It was beautifully decorated and clean as a whistle. The air conditioning worked well in the extreme August heat topping out at 98 degrees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Thank you for such a pleasant place to relax!!

My husband and I stayed here with our 11 month old baby boy for our first vacation as a family of 3. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The owner- Jamie allowed us to check in early since we were traveling 8 hours in a car with a baby. Jamie was really willing to do whatever she could to help us have the best experience. The home is absolutely stunning and was very clean. We really enjoyed the porch swing and dining table on the back porch- we ate our breakfast here every morning. Our baby boy was thankful for the beach toys that were provided, and we took advantage of the extra beach towels as well. The beds and furniture throughout the home were very comfortable and really made it feel like home! We absolutely loved the location and the private beach was always neat. We definitely recommend renting a golf cart to drive back and forth to the beach and house. It would be quite the walk if you were trying to haul a beach wagon, cooler, toys, tent, children, etc. We are already talking about when we can plan to come back! I really can’t say enough good things about this property and the owner. I promise, the house is just as magical as it’s name!

Its hard to find the words to describe how perfect this trip was for us. The owner was absolutely amazing to work with and the house was perfect. The house had everything that you could possibly need for a vacation and plus some. It really felt like a hidden gem at the beach. I highly recommend booking this place if you plan to vist Gulf Shores for vacation. We had our 7 year old and 2 year old and it was perfect. The walk to the beach was not bad at all and it hardly was crowded. We fell absolutely in love with the area, house and the owner who went above and beyond to make sure guests really felt comfortable. We will definitely be booking this again!!

Beautiful cottage and great communication with owner. Worked great for family of 3 plus a set of grandparents

My family, fur babies and myself experienced a wonderful time at this cottage...so much so that my husband, fur babies and myself have already scheduled a return trip in October 2023. Jamie Baxley was/is a blessing to us!!! Thank you!!! Annie Love

Unlike most where owner wants to do everything in the least expensive way to get by with. None of that here! Layout is perfect-decor, details extremely tasteful & well thought-out. Enclosed picket fence, being pet friendly & more than expected, adding extra comfort. Quaint landscaped yard w/tree canopy provides shade for privacy to swing on front porch. Meals (or cocktails/coffee) at outdoor table on screen porch. Porch upstairs-great way to watch early morning sunrise on bedswing! The kitchen cookware-dishes-platters-bowls etc are REAL! & very plentiful to prep/cook! Yes there are acrylics to take o/side but nice! Location is perfect for walks & bicycles. Easy access to state park (w/miles of paved trails pedestrian friendly) w/in the subdivision being rare. From tv’s w/satellite, charcoal/lighter already there for use to dishwasher/laundry detergent. Whether owner left or previous rentals. It was shared, made available & not thrown out. You don’t mind leaving yours behind for the next, Again not normal in rental world but greatly appreciated. Beds were extremely comfortable! Upscale linens, welcoming. luxury sheets & towels w/fresh smell. Beach/pool (few houses down) a wagon-cooler-basket of nice beach towels & toys to enjoy. A short walk to beach access w/a traffic light for crossing. Button to stop vehicles actually worked instantly each time to cross! Most of all thanks & compliments to the owner who was very quick in responding to any questions before & during our stay!

My family spent a week at Dragonfly for a little recovery after our oldest's wedding...it proved to be a spectacular place for just that. The property is beautiful, well appointed with everything that you would need, with wonderful bedrooms, living space, balconies, and a perfect location. We biked and fished in the State Park. Easily walked to the beach each day. And since the property is somewhat centrally located in OB near Gulf Shores, a myriad of restaurant options were easy to access. And yes, we walked to the ice cream and donut shop more than a couple of times during the week. Most importantly, Mrs. Jamie, the property manager, is amazingly responsive and caring. Great house, and would absolutely book again with no concerns.

We absolutely LOVE this beach house so much, that we came back for a second time! The first time was in 2020. The home is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and every detail has been thoughtfully included. The huge porches are our favorite! I cannot imagine a home with a more authentic “beach” aesthetic than this! We hope to come back again and again. The beaches here are amazing, as well!

We had a great stay! The house was perfect, and had everything we needed. I was impressed with the quality of everything!

We have taken a lot of vacations and this was one of few where the home was nicer than the photos. Location was great as well. We come to the area 2-3 times a year and are glad we chose the Dragonfly. The only thing we wish we had known about was the construction going on right across from the home. Thank you for letting us stay!

What a treat to stay at the dragonfly for the week. Loved the house, the sleeping porch, the big beautiful pool, the private beach access. Very peaceful despite a bunch of houses being built in the neighborhood. Great proximity to Orange Beach. Loved the access to bike trails in the state park.

Very nice cottage. Responsive and conscience property owner. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Perfect really. Great place and location. The cottage is truly beautiful. Very grateful for a relaxing stay.

Beautiful house very clean and homey. Perfect location.

What a wonderful place to gather your family for Christmas. The rest of the family stayed in other places but we used this house as our gathering place for fellowship and some meals. The living kitchen area is large enough to accommodate 6-8 people comfortably. The kitchen has anything you would need for entertaining guests. Thanks for the memories.

My husband and I travel every Thanksgiving with our 2 small dogs and this is by far the best house we have rented! The cleanliness was as advertised along with the upgraded linens. The location/neighborhood and fenced in yard was a game changer! We can’t wait to go back!

Picture postcard home. Invites good memory making. Back porch great for relaxing and dinner or games at the spacious table! Sleeping bed on upper porch has a view of water. Well appointed and great support from Jamie!!!! Made for a great week!
