Dragonfly is on West Beach in Gulf Shores, about fifty steps from the sand and two miles from The Hangout. Close enough to everything, and quiet enough to hear the waves from the front deck.
It was built new for big groups: four king bedrooms, a bunk room for the kids, and a game room with Pac-Man and Galaga that has a sleeper sofa for one more. The kitchen island seats six and the farmhouse table seats ten.
Out back there's a fenced, heated private pool, a hot tub under its own pergola and cabana loungers. Out front, the beach wagon, chairs and umbrellas are by the door, so the only thing to carry down is lunch.
The pool is fenced and heated, with striped loungers under a cabana pergola and a hot tub a few steps from the patio door. In the winter months pool heating is $50 a day; ask for it when you book.
The upper deck looks straight out over the dunes to the water, and two of the king suites step right onto it. There's a rooftop cabana deck above that, shaded, for the afternoon.
Pac-Man and Galaga, a smart TV and a sofa that pulls out into a bed. It opens onto the back deck, so whoever's watching the pool can still hear the scoreboard.
A full pot, K-cups, beans to grind, cold brew, a French press and a milk frother, with a second espresso station on the marble counter. Nobody has to wait for the first cup.
What's included
Walk out the front door and you're on a wide stretch of West Beach, with plenty of room to spread out.
A beach wagon, Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards, so you don't pack or rent a thing.
Bikes for getting around West Beach, a fire pit for the evening and corn hole on the lawn.
New pots and pans, baking sheets, spices and oils on the shelf, and enough plates and glasses for a full house.
