Arguably one of the cleanest and best-stocked VRBO's we've ever been in. Comfortable in every room and space. Great layout. Great location near bean point. Super property for families. AC was fantastic. High end kitchen items indoors and out. The pool and hot tub were great. The garage is well stocked with toys and bikes and more. Parking was convenient for our big rental SUV and our golf cart. Communication was simple with the host. We would have a hard time going anywhere else if we return to AMI. This VRBO is a slam dunk if you're looking. It won't disappoint, and we're a bougie traveling family!

My goodness, what a thorough and thoughtful review! You have touched on so many of the things that we strive to provide for our guests at Dragonfly. Our goal since day one has been to provide our guests with a property that they find clean, both inside and out, well stocked throughout, has plenty of games, toys, bikes, etc., and many other comforts of home. Our hope is that other than a trip to the grocery store or grocery delivery, our guests are able to immediately begin to relax and enjoy all the Dragonfly and AMI have to offer. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to post a review. We hope that you will indeed have opportunities in the future to visit both AMI and Dragonfly again.

Best house we have ever rented. Hosts thought of everything and provided it. We stayed here with our 2 and 4 year old grandkids and there were booster seats, toys, crib options, AND the downstairs play space was a life saver in the coldest week we have ever spent in FLA.
