Visit Dragonflies - the perfect place for a wonderful vacation!

THIS IS WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY:-

2nd - 16th June 2007
Had an amazing time here in Florida "“ crammed lots in over two weeks, Everglades, Dolphin swim in Key Largo, Busch Gardens for the girls, also Epcot, and then witnessed rocket launch "“ what an experience!!

Still managed a few days on the stunning Boca Grand beach and two boat trips with Captain Jack at Palm Island Marina. If you can go on one we recommend it "“ we had dolphins all round our boat!

Dragonflies is so peaceful and so homely, we hope to return here, swimming in the pool and watching the tortoises sauntering by.

Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

15th "“ 22nd September 2007
Had a fabulous week at your fantastic villa. The villa is equipped very well and is decorated to a high standard and felt very homely from day 1. The wildlife was very entertaining. I waited all week to take the picture of the large tortoise I saw on day 1 but it never came back for the whole week.

Hope to return some day.

3rd "“ 12th Jan 08
We had a lovely time in this beautiful villa. The pool temperature was great and used a lot by the boys (and their father!) We did a little bit of shopping and quite a lot of driving around. The best experience was the "Sunset Trip" we did on one of the small boats with a wonderful guide called Paul. He let the boys steer the boat and needless to say, they loved him to bits!!

This is the second time we have been to Rotonda West and we are coming back!!!

24th Jan "“ 28th Feb 08
We had a wonderful time. We pretty much stayed around here and read and relaxed. The pool was great as it was warm. The walk out front makes a good walk as it is 2 miles all round the block.

11th "“ 17th March 08

Wow! What a fantastic home. We have stayed in many villas and this is the best we have seen. It feels like brand new and has been maintained to an extremely high standard. We loved all the little touches "“ the guide book, the books and games, think you have thought of everything. Your kitchen is better equipped than ours at home!

Lying round the pool was so relaxing and the birdsong was so soothing. We loved Farlows on the Water and also the Olive Garden in Charlotte. Can recommend going down to the beach at sunset "“ but just wondered why people clap when the sun drops!!!

I'll be checking out your calendar for later this year as we will be back! Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.
