This property has incredible potential and was once undoubtedly a premier home, but the place is simply going to seed. The house interior itself is well laid out and welcoming, and the lanai back patio with fire pit and hot tub are a great space in which to hang out. The beds are comfortable and there is ample hot water for many showers etc. The problem is that you cannot look too closely at anything. Here is a partial list of issues: 1) some wooden boards of the dock are so rotten that I almost fell through one, so we were uncomfortable using any of the water toys; 2) the outdoor grill works fine, but the tiled workspace is so mildewed and neglected as to be revolting; 3) the cushioned patio furniture was stained and a large bench/storage unit featured in the photos was so damaged and misshapen as to be bizarre; 4) the kitchen faucet was loose, and the cabinets were chipped and one was even missing its hardware; 5) the master bedroom was dark rather than sun-filled as shown in the photos because the blinds were stuck in the down position due to remote control problems; 6) the main den sofa cushions smelled so of dog that we had to lay down towels to sit on it; 7) the covers on the outdoor speakers are stained with rust and in need of paint; 8) decorative greenery flanking the entryway has largely peeled off and is piled under the front bench - they simply need to be re-glued. I admit that finding the house poorly cleaned (hair in shower, filthy pots, pans, china, utensils, appliances, and cabinets) set a bad initial tone, but these other issues compounded the problem geometrically. Throughout our issues, the owner was very communicative with our concerns and they refunded the cleaning fee; however, I found their excuses of "on backorder" (broken outdoor grill sink) or "numerous calls with manufacturer" (broken master shades) to ring very hollow because so many of the issues could be remedied with a simple handyman. Also, there are simply too many examples of property deterioration to accept repeated excuses. Finally the neighborhood is not a premier area. As just one example, the gas station at the end of the street is marginal, and its convenience store is scary. My son bought water there and was shaken by the experience. At a low price point this property could be worth it, but we felt wildly overcharged given the reality versus the website photos and description.

My family and I had a lovely time in your vacation home. Our 3 kids and grandkids celebrated the New year and bbq outdoors and used the pool and the jacuzzi . We had a lovely view and we saw fireworks at night from the backyard. We also saw a beautiful manatee in the water enjoying the afternoon. We recommend this property for a large party. The comfort was amazing and the home was beautifully done. The Villar Family 🤩🍾

Sailfish Villa was lovely and Nikki responded to each request. The kitchen was amazing!

Beautiful home. Perfect for family and friends. Great location to get anywhere you wanna go. Will definitely stay again

We enjoyed our time at the Sailfish. My sons enjoyed the pool, the kayaks, fishing, and the basketball hoop in the garage area. The house was clean and had everything we needed in a home away from home. We would stay here again.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and fully stocked. The owners were extremely attentive and responsive. Our only issue was the loft/attic. We were counting on a 4th bedroom with actual beds and we did not get that. House really only sleeps 6 comfortably unless your ok with air mattresses and couches. The loft was very hot and low ceilings. It did get very tight for our party of 9. But we made it work and had a fabulous time. Thank you again!

Great location, nice property. Room for all! We travel with pets, great neighborhood for walking the dogs. An upgrade to the outdoor cooking area and maybe an instruction sheet for all the remote controls thru- out the house would be helpful for us older folks.! Thank you for a nice stay!

Nikki was very communicative and a great host. Everything we needed to know was provided in a manual, check-in and out process was seamless. The place was nicely decorated down to the smallest detail. The house was spacious and the backyard was the best part. Also very close to main restaurants and Las Olas beach.

The house was perfect! The chefs kitchen had everything we needed. The house was spotless and Nikki was very responsive to questions. The pictures do not do this house justice. The backyard is like a private oasis. Will definitely return and recommend this home to others.

We enjoyed the holidays in this beautiful house on the water.

if you are looking for a very clean open space very luxurious place to stay with your family than look no further!! This is the place to stay. Also the hosts were very easy to get a hold of and very helpful with anything we might of needed! Backyard has tons of things to do. Fishing, kayaking, pool and spa, grilling, tv and more. Overall would stay over and over. This place was perfect. Thanks guys.

We were very happy with our stay. The home is well kept and clean. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The pool was nice and relaxing. The location is great. Close to everything. Just a short drive and easy parking to all the shops, restaurants/bars, and the beach.

We truly enjoyed the beautiful home, incredible kitchen, and quaint, clean pool. Also, it was very easy to go and from the beach, which is likewise incredible with amazing restaurants and bars.

Very nice. Wish I had longer to stay. Very clean and nice.
