You’re only a short drive from over 100 restaurants and just minutes from grocery shopping.

And our neighborhood Olympic sized pool is just steps away from our home. Your pleasure and safety are our number one concern.

Loved the porches! Sunrise at the Dragonfly Cottage is unforgettable. The decor is just what you need to feel like you're getting away from it all, and we loved walking our dog in the quiet neighborhood and on the state park trails. Easy to cook meals here too. Would love to return!
5.0
We had a wonderful stay here. It was cozy, clean, cute, quiet, convenient, and perfect for bringing a dog with the fenced in yard and lots of places to walk your dog. I definitely recommend getting a golf cart because then it’s so easy to get to the beach (drive to private beach access across from main entrance across street and park right before you get to the sand). My only qualms with the place was that the host doesn’t provide you with a guidebook of info/recommendations like we normally have been provided with other stays. So we had to contact her to ask where the private beach access is, and a few other questions. That being said, she did call us and give us this info quickly and was super nice and helpful when we communicated. Also, there’s a hose next to the house (which we had to figure out). And I will note there was a lot of construction in the neighborhood on the weekday (currently next door) - not a bother if you’re spending the day at the beach like we were but we couldn’t have enjoyed the balcony or screen-in porch during the day. You can also hear traffic from the street when outside. And you can’t see the ocean from the balcony (I thought that was a bit misleading). And sadly, the coffee shop/donut shop was closed. But it’s very quiet inside, the view is still nice, bed was comfy, TVs are smart TVs (we didn’t know that from the listing so brought a firestick). Overall we loved our stay and our dog had the best time. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Dragonfly Cottage! The place was so clean inside and out! We especially loved all of the porch areas! My daughter loved the “swinging bed” upstairs so much that she slept outside most nights. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and safe! We rented a golf cart to help transport our beach items and everyone to the beach. It was a short .5 mile walk, but the kids definitely enjoyed the of the golf cart. Jamie was a wonderful hostess, always prompt responding to all my questions. We loved our time here and hope to return in the near future!

The Dragonfly Cottage was beautiful, easy and perfect for our stay! The cottage was thoroughly appointed with everything you need including enough towels and wash cloths, which was a huge bonus! The appliances are all updated and the decor is absolutely beautiful! Our host, Jaimie, was WONDERFUL and so responsive through the process! We will definitely be back!

My husband and I rented this cottage for a 4 night stay at the beach because the pictures were stunning. I am pleased to say that the pictures accurately portrayed the home. It was beautifully decorated and clean as a whistle. The air conditioning worked well in the extreme August heat topping out at 98 degrees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Thank you for such a pleasant place to relax!!

My husband and I stayed here with our 11 month old baby boy for our first vacation as a family of 3. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The owner- Jamie allowed us to check in early since we were traveling 8 hours in a car with a baby. Jamie was really willing to do whatever she could to help us have the best experience. The home is absolutely stunning and was very clean. We really enjoyed the porch swing and dining table on the back porch- we ate our breakfast here every morning. Our baby boy was thankful for the beach toys that were provided, and we took advantage of the extra beach towels as well. The beds and furniture throughout the home were very comfortable and really made it feel like home! We absolutely loved the location and the private beach was always neat. We definitely recommend renting a golf cart to drive back and forth to the beach and house. It would be quite the walk if you were trying to haul a beach wagon, cooler, toys, tent, children, etc. We are already talking about when we can plan to come back! I really can’t say enough good things about this property and the owner. I promise, the house is just as magical as it’s name!

Its hard to find the words to describe how perfect this trip was for us. The owner was absolutely amazing to work with and the house was perfect. The house had everything that you could possibly need for a vacation and plus some. It really felt like a hidden gem at the beach. I highly recommend booking this place if you plan to vist Gulf Shores for vacation. We had our 7 year old and 2 year old and it was perfect. The walk to the beach was not bad at all and it hardly was crowded. We fell absolutely in love with the area, house and the owner who went above and beyond to make sure guests really felt comfortable. We will definitely be booking this again!!

My family, fur babies and myself experienced a wonderful time at this cottage...so much so that my husband, fur babies and myself have already scheduled a return trip in October 2023. Jamie Baxley was/is a blessing to us!!!
Thank you!!!

Unlike most where owner wants to do everything in the least expensive way to get by with. None of that here! Layout is perfect-decor, details extremely tasteful & well thought-out. Enclosed picket fence, being pet friendly & more than expected, adding extra comfort. Quaint landscaped yard w/tree canopy provides shade for privacy to swing on front porch. Meals (or cocktails/coffee) at outdoor table on screen porch. Porch upstairs-great way to watch early morning sunrise on bedswing! The kitchen cookware-dishes-platters-bowls etc are REAL! & very plentiful to prep/cook! Yes there are acrylics to take o/side but nice! Location is perfect for walks & bicycles. Easy access to state park (w/miles of paved trails pedestrian friendly) w/in the subdivision being rare. From tv’s w/satellite, charcoal/lighter already there for use to dishwasher/laundry detergent. Whether owner left or previous rentals. It was shared, made available & not thrown out. You don’t mind leaving yours behind for the next, Again not normal in rental world but greatly appreciated. Beds were extremely comfortable! Upscale linens, welcoming. luxury sheets & towels w/fresh smell. Beach/pool (few houses down) a wagon-cooler-basket of nice beach towels & toys to enjoy. A short walk to beach access w/a traffic light for crossing. Button to stop vehicles actually worked instantly each time to cross! Most of all thanks & compliments to the owner who was very quick in responding to any questions before & during our stay!

My family spent a week at Dragonfly for a little recovery after our oldest's wedding...it proved to be a spectacular place for just that. The property is beautiful, well appointed with everything that you would need, with wonderful bedrooms, living space, balconies, and a perfect location. We biked and fished in the State Park. Easily walked to the beach each day. And since the property is somewhat centrally located in OB near Gulf Shores, a myriad of restaurant options were easy to access. And yes, we walked to the ice cream and donut shop more than a couple of times during the week. Most importantly, Mrs. Jamie, the property manager, is amazingly responsive and caring.
Great house, and would absolutely book again with no concerns.

We absolutely LOVE this beach house so much, that we came back for a second time! The first time was in 2020. The home is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and every detail has been thoughtfully included. The huge porches are our favorite! I cannot imagine a home with a more authentic “beach” aesthetic than this! We hope to come back again and again. The beaches here are amazing, as well!

We have taken a lot of vacations and this was one of few where the home was nicer than the photos. Location was great as well. We come to the area 2-3 times a year and are glad we chose the Dragonfly. The only thing we wish we had known about was the construction going on right across from the home. Thank you for letting us stay!

What a treat to stay at the dragonfly for the week. Loved the house, the sleeping porch, the big beautiful pool, the private beach access. Very peaceful despite a bunch of houses being built in the neighborhood. Great proximity to Orange Beach. Loved the access to bike trails in the state park.

What a wonderful place to gather your family for Christmas. The rest of the family stayed in other places but we used this house as our gathering place for fellowship and some meals. The living kitchen area is large enough to accommodate 6-8 people comfortably. The kitchen has anything you would need for entertaining guests. Thanks for the memories.

My husband and I travel every Thanksgiving with our 2 small dogs and this is by far the best house we have rented! The cleanliness was as advertised along with the upgraded linens. The location/neighborhood and fenced in yard was a game changer! We can’t wait to go back!

We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary with a stay at the Dragonfly Cottage, and it was absolutely perfect! The house is so beautiful and charming with an excellent floor plan and tasteful decor in a great location. We only used the kitchen for coffee and snacks, but found it stocked with everything that you would need for meal preparation. We stayed in the master bedroom which is stunning with quality linens and a comfly bed. The cottage has 3 different porches which are perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. The entire yard is fenced which provided us with extra peace of mind that our little dog was safe when taking her in and out. The Tannin neighborhood was perfect for walking our dog, and actually has a little courtyard with grass a short distance from this house. Although the deeded beach access is across a 4 lane road, it was very easy to get to with a red light and cross walk. We didn't use the pool, but it looked beautiful and was very close to the house. There are several new homes being built in the neighborhood, but we did not find the construction to be an issue at all. Jamie, the host, was very helpful and responsive and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely consider this beautiful cottage again when planning a trip to Orange Beach!

Very clean & beautiful home! Great host! I think the shower & deck off of the Master were my favorite. We took our bikes & rode the trails that are accessible from Tannin Village. There’s a great view from the deck & you can see the ocean in the distance. Also the pool is really nice & just a few steps away. We would love to stay here again!

Dragonfly Cottage is a luxury property located in the Village of Tannin in Orange Beach. The home has been very tastefully decorated while keeping a relaxed feeling. The photographs in the listing are accurate & the home is very clean. My family & I stayed here for fall break & the temperature outside was perfect for enjoying the 3 porches. The walk to the beach takes about 5-7 minutes & the wagon on site is very helpful to transport beach items. To enter the beach, exit the main Tannin entrance at the red light. The private beach access & private section of beach are directly across the street. I would highly recommend this property. We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was a nice quiet relaxing getaway.

We chose the Dragonfly Cottage to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and couldn't have been more pleased. What a lovely home! The pictures are completely accurate and the location within the community is private. There was some construction going on in the neighborhood that was unexpected, but not terribly annoying. The Orange Beach/Golf Shores area was easy to navigate and we enjoyed lesser crowds than in-season. The neighborhood pool was very convenient and never crowded. The only negative was the charcoal grill, as we are accustomed to a gas grill. All in all it was a fabulous trip! Thank you, Jamie, for sharing your home with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay @Dragonfly cottage! Very cute place & nicely appointed. Well stocked for meals in(ate mainly out on screened porch). Completely fenced yard was a plus for dogs. A short walk to beach & rented chairs there. May be nice to have set of chairs to carry to beach as there is a wagon for beach gear. Place was super overall.

My husband and I stayed at dragonfly cottage with our infant son for our first family trip. We had never been to orange beach in the past so we didn’t really know what to expect.
Jamie was super easy to reach and she helped us each step of the way. We really didn’t know what to expect taking a baby to the beach. But this place has all you need. We traveled to orange beach a few days early and booked a hotel to make our vacation a little longer and it was horrible with an infant!! We contacted Jamie and she had availability and let us in early. We were so delighted!
Plus it’s the cutest as far as decor. It’s like walking into a Parisian coastal property. The pictures are exactly what you walk into. Super super relaxing.
Everything was clean and all of the linens smelled amazing. Overall we are so pleased with our stay. The location was directly in the middle of Gulf shores and orange beach. Really close to gulf state park. So much to do! And good food all around. We even went to Florida a few times.
Restaurant Recommendations - Fresh off the boat, florbama yacht basin, Lunas, big beach brewery, Bahamas bobs, big fish! Lartigues has wonderful take home Cajun cuisine that we heated up some evenings. Ready made casseroles, gumbo, jambalaya - everything!

This property is cozy, clean and SO CHARMING! Pictures of home are spot-on and you will not be disappointed. Elevated decor and furnishings are way beyond the average rental. The owner hasn’t missed a thing in this house. Extras like magnifying makeup mirrors, abundant towels and linens, touchless trash can, beach towels and beach wagon all made our trip relaxing and comfortable. Enjoyed the screened-in porch and porch swing too! The neighborhood is reminiscent of Seaside, Florida, and the adjacent pool was never very crowded and always clean. We used the outdoor shower at the pool after going to the beach so we wouldn’t track sand into the house. Private beach was fantastic-go mid morning to reserve chairs/umbrellas and plan to stay the day. It’s about a 10 minute walk from property to the beach but there is a designated crosswalk, as other reviews have stated. If you have very young children, I would recommend renting a golf cart for ease, but we enjoyed the short walk.
Would definitely stay here again-the whole family said it was the cutest rental home we’d stayed in. It feels very inviting. Owner is friendly, responsive and it is apparent that she genuinely cares about the vacation experience this home offers. A true gem!
