Dragonfly Lite – A tropical oasis with your own heated saltwater pool to enjoy!

10/10 Excellent

"The BEST vacation home in Marathon for a small family!! My family of four (including two boys, 3 and 6) just ended our stay at Dragonfly Lite and are already dreaming of going back. The property is clean, comfortable and a perfect base for exploring Marathon and the surrounding Keys. The beds are super comfortable for sleeping and the AC keeps the house nice and cool for a break after you’ve been in the sun all day. Outdoor shower was just as awesome as we remembered! Kitchen and grill area are perfect for cooking any meals! We had a great suggestion from Jerry this trip to try Kings Seafood Market and cooked a few amazing dinners of shrimp and fish. You can walk to a few great restaurants, Porky’s was our favorite this trip! We also walked to Lazy Days South for dessert at sunset and to the 7 mile bridge for sunset one evening. (Beware of the bugs with this walk but the views are a must see whether you walk or drive.) Our other must do’s from this trip were Bahia Honda Sandspur Beach (just over the 7 mile bridge from the house) and the Butterfly Conservatory (Key West.) We spent the majority of our mornings exploring Marathon (beach, snorkeling, jet skis, aquarium, shopping) then swimming in the pool mid day, and enjoying fresh seafood dinner early evening before watching the sunset. If this sounds like your dream vacation, you have found the place! Thank you so much to Jerry and Lynn for creating this perfect piece of paradise and sharing it. We will absolutely be back!!"

Mar de Cielo - Waterfront - Heated Pool - Dock

10/10 Excellent

"This house is amazing! Best communication with the management company. Everything in the house that you could possible need and the furnishings are extremely nice. Outdoor area has a perfect pool and boat dock as well as parking for the boat trailer. Probably the best & most accommodating VRBO home we have ever stayed in!"
