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.

Loved it. Would have stayed forever if it was possible. It really felt like home while we were there. Lots of supplies and equipment at the house. Pool is amazing and is such an oasis. Host provides a ton of information about restaurants and things to while there. Property manager shows you around personally. We will definitely recommend the place to anyone and will be saving up for our next visit.

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.

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.

Dragonfly Lite

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.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the Keys

We had a fantastic stay at Dragonfly Lite in Marathon! This spot is perfectly located—right in the middle of the Florida Keys—making it the ideal home base for day trips to Key West, Islamorada, and beyond. We loved being able to explore during the day and return to such a peaceful, private retreat each evening.The saltwater pool was a highlight—refreshing and spotless, it was the perfect way to unwind after a day of snorkeling, kayaking, or just soaking up the sun. The unit itself was simple, clean, and just what we needed: quiet, comfortable, and with enough privacy to truly relax.There was some construction going on across the street that got started a bit early in the morning, but we’re early risers anyway, so it didn’t affect us much. Honestly, it was easy to tune out once we were enjoying our coffee by the pool or planning our next adventure.A huge shoutout to Jerry, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He had tons of great local suggestions—from food to hidden beaches—and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.If you’re looking for a centrally located, low-key escape with charm and convenience, Dragonfly Lite is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!
