Where Old Florida Meets Modern Luxury:
You'll feel as though you're in a completely secluded oasis when you walk through the gates. In reality, we are within one block of the New River and several blocks from Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
We're also very close to Wilton Manors, the beaches, nightclubs and restaurants. We are within walking distance of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Riverwalk, Art Museum and many other cultural activities.
The gated property features four unique, Key West-style structures, each separated by tropical gardens with a central heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi. This extraordinary property has been completely renovated/restored to become a first class, luxurious retreat.
The house features a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters. There is a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and separate glassed wall shower. The larger bedroom has a walk-in closet. The bedrooms and living room have flat-panel LCD cable TV and DVD players. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Outside, you will have a wooden deck patio and a second brick patio off the kitchen.
We welcome you and your small, well-behaved pets.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I have been a licensed real estate professional for 20+ years. I am a licensed real estate broker. I own and operate Rainbow Realty, Inc. in South Florida. I have been focusing on vacation homes for the past few years. I own and manage several homes and condos between Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach (South Beach).
Why the Owner Chose Sailboat Bend
I choose this location because it is a tropical oasis in the only Historic neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale. it is a block from the New River and 6 short blocks from the cultural center of Fort Lauderdale. The beach is only 3 miles away. I completely restored and renovated this unique property. It retained all of the old Florida charm, while modern conveniences were added.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The entire property is gated and lushly landscaped. In addition to this house, there are 3 others. Don't worry about being crowded, there is plenty of space and privacy. Gated parking, heated pool and Jacuzzi are also key features.

My family (myself, my husband, and 9 month old baby girl) and I stayed at this lovely property over Christmas 2010 and had a wonderfully relaxing time. The cottage itself is beautiful and immaculately kept with all upgraded amenities. The grounds are gorgeous with fabulous tropical foliage and a great, heated pool with hot-tub. Sailboat Bend is a great neighborhood and is only just a 10 minute walk to the Discovery Science Museum and the Riverwalk. Keith was very helpful in giving us tips as to the great amenities in the area. There are several parks excellent within walking distance, we took our baby on a few walks and it was very enjoyable. Our little girl enjoyed the heated pool very much, and even had the opportunity to watch John feed the fish. Really, a wonderful stay and highly recommended!

This is as good as it gets. Yes the pictures are true, but this place is even more beautiful than the pictures. Once passed the gate, the tropical vegetation is superb, plush and luxurious. The grounds are well maintained and spotless. Surrounding this beautiful vegetation is a jacuzzi which flows into the pool and heats up the entire pool, swimming after dinner is fantastic especially when the weather is fresh and the pool heats up to 84 degrees! Our condo was upstairs a separate little cottage, clean, gorgeously renovated with a beautiful designer decor, a wonderful terrace overlooking the gorgeous vegetation. We had dinner and breakfast out on our terrace everyday of our stay in this beautiful setup. The owner provided us with beach towels in our condo, gave us a key to the supply room where we had access to beach chairs, parasol, bicycles, and washer and dryer. The airport is a 10 minute drive, Interstate 95 is 5 minutes away very convenient to go to Miami or West Palm Beach or anywhere else close by very fast. Although there are bicycles it is almost necessary to have a car to go to the beach but not impossible cycling to shops and restaurants on Las Olas blvd not even 7 to 10 minutes away. I would recommend this gorgeous condo to anyone and I wish to go back as soon as possible with my husband again myself. Thank you Keith for everything, we had a great vacation.

This property lived up to all we expected from the descriptions we had received, clean and comfortable, providing the privacy we required. We were looking for a relaxing vacation, away from all the daily grind, we found it here, on quiet days relaxing round the pool was ideal. The hire car was essential, to make isits to the local beach and for shopping, would recommend this resort for quiet, relaxing times.

Me and my family thought we had come to paradise when we step through the gates of Keith's wonderful place. The house is fully embedded in greenery with a jungle feeling. Excellent standard in all details and very well run. Keith manages his obligations as host at the very best and you feel really welcome and looked after. We can really recommend this place to anyone who visits FLL area.

We absolutely loved staying at Keith's place. First of all the location was perfect. We were close to the boat show and marina, Los Olas where I could hit the Imax and all the art galleries, and close to town where my husband had to be. The bungalow was spotless, the beds super comfy and the furnishings - designer and sumptuous. But our favorite part was the lush gardens. pool and jacuzzi. It was like we were on a Caribbean island somewhere!! We loved relaxing in the jacuzzi each night with the palms swaying overhead and the soft music playing around us. It was just PERFECT. I would definitely recommend this wonderful retread to anyone who is planning a stay in FLL. And what a PLUS that Keith allowed our Yorkie with us!
