Location of this home for beach access and amenities was excellent. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful home. The pool is a plus with children and adds to the entire beach experience. The walk down the block to amazing sunsets with my family are memories we will have.

Why they chose this property

This home was built in an extraordinary location: across North Shore Drive from one of the most famous beaches in Florida - Bean Point. Rooms are large and comfortable, and the property offers privacy as well as plenty of room to play. Extensive renovations have created a delightful environment to experience all of the best aspects of the Florida beach lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

A coveted location on North Shore Drive across from Bean Point is the key attraction of this property. A new swimming pool with sundeck and spa, a Thermador gourmet kitchen, and an oversized deck and covered patio are additional assets that make Dragonfly an exceptional venue for family gatherings, weddings, and the creation of priceless memories.
