About this property

Serene old Florida home on Sawfish Bay

Welcome to your private tropical retreat in one of the most spectacular locations in Jupiter!

This charming West Indies-style home sits on a serene saltwater bay at the intersection of the Intracoastal Waterway, Jupiter Inlet, and the Loxahatchee River. Surrounded by water and nature, this classic Old Florida getaway offers peaceful seclusion with unbeatable access to the area's best activities.
Enjoy panoramic views across beautiful Sawfish Bay, with a lush, island nature park shielding you from the bustle of the Intracoastal. The calm bay is great for fishing and you may even spot one of our gentle local giants, the manatee, swimming nearby.
Fish from the private dock, or explore the bay by kayak or paddleboard which both are provided for your use. Just a short boat ride away, you'll find access to the Jupiter Inlet, Loxahatchee River, and ICW, putting world-class boating and fishing right at your fingertips.
Despite the natural serenity, you're only minutes from everything Jupiter has to offer. Relax on the pristine sands of Jupiter Beach (dog friendly), bike along a 15-mile oceanfront path, or explore the vibrant local scene with waterfront dining, shopping, and live music. Many restaurants are even accessible by kayak or paddleboard!
Back at home, unwind in the heated saltwater pool ($25/day for heating; just let us know in advance), or soak in the private hot tub under the banana palms. The outdoor space also includes a fire pit and ping-pong table. Bring your boat (up to 55')—we offer dockage, nearby boat ramps, and trailer parking (please message us with your vehicle details).
Clean your catch at the bayside fish cleaning station and prepare a feast on the large gas grill or around the fire pit. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and entertain, while the home features reverse osmosis water, a washer/dryer, and fast Wi-Fi throughout.
Each of the three bedrooms includes a TV, and the living room has a 60" 3D Smart TV with Blu-ray for movie nights. The open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly onto a spacious porch overlooking the bay, perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
Whether you're here for boating, fishing, paddling, relaxing by the pool, or simply soaking up the natural beauty of South Florida, this home is your gateway to it all.
Come stay on Sawfish Bay for Old Florida charm, modern comfort, and an unmatched location.

Outdoor paradise

Between the pool and the pier we spend most of our time outside relaxing and fishing and was truly an outdoor paradise. Inside was a bit tired and could have used a few updates but were able to get past that with such a great outdoor space. Great place for family’s or friends to gather for vacation.

We had an amazing stay. Everything about the property is PERFECT! The house is beautiful and so spacious. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub everyday and the views of the bay were so refreshing. We were also able to keep our boat at the house which was an extra bonus. The location is ideal as grocery stores and restaurants are all nearby. We will definitely be back!

Lovely property that has deferred maintenance issues.

Key was not available when we arrived. Had to call agent and wait for a key after driving 4 hours. Property listing showed a hot tub. It never worked despite several attempts by owner to fix it. There weren’t any check in/out or welcome pack describing house features local attractions. Fire alarm chirping required another call to agent and owner to find offending smoke detector.

On the water paradise

What a cozy and comfy little piece of paradise. Palm framed view to the river with a heated pool and kayaks on a private dock. Spa tub outdoors in banana palm grove. Close to shops, restaurants and beaches. Dog friendly and filled with homey touches and curios. Excellently maintained with lots of towels and linens - space for several to stay with open plan screened porch. (* note. Heater in pool doesn’t really heat pool if temp goes below 50° - rare here but we experienced the chill) spa tub however is hot! Garden is beautiful and the dock allows direct access to the river! Owners were great to liaise with and made the booking and stay easy! Five stars!

Jupiter FL - Yacht Club Estate

Property is as described with an old Florida vibe in quiet neighborhood. David is an easy going gentleman, and check-in was straight forward. Great location to restaurants, beaches (e.g., Carlin Park, Dubois, etc.), and grocery stores. We used the back screened porch often for its proximity to the pool and view of Sawfish Bay. Property is very clean and well stocked (e.g., plates, glasses, cookware, spices, paper towels, and plenty of towels, nice washer & dryer, etc.). Includes many amenities: pool over looking Sawfish Bay, nice dock, hot tub, paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, hammock, picnic table, and fire pit with wood to burn. It is a solid vacation rental with three bedrooms & 2 full baths. For five people the ranch layout was spacious and to be honest we were outside the vast majority of our waking hours. We recommend the property. You'll have fun and make some memories.

Keep Searching

Check-in supposed to be at 4pm, but the owner was still in house at 530pm "finishing up and the cleaning crew just left." House was filthy: dishes in the cabinet were greasy and had fresh food on them; rooms had layer of dust/dirt; trash and large amounts of dirt under beds; eating booth/bench greasy and had food on it; house did not seem swept or mopped. **owner offered to have cleaning crew "reclean" the next day. Pool was filthy! Owner stated the pool pump had broken and was replaced that day. The water was dark green with sediment (dirt, debris). The walls and floor had algae growing. I have owned a pool here in south Florida. This level of growth takes a while to develop. The "poolman" arrived unannounced several days in a row. He randomly threw large amounts of chemicals in the pool, never testing the water or scooping debris. I asked if he was testing the pool pH to determine needed chemicals or if he was going to vacuum the large amounts of dirt and debris from the pool. He said "that's not going to help." It was Thursday of the stay and the owner stated the pool is "swimmable." It was still hazy water and had not been scooped or vaccuumed. The water chemical level was never tested. Kayaks and other water equipment not safe! We took a kayak out with life jackets and paddles. The boat hull filled with water and flipped. We grabbed our life jackets, but they were filling with water and sinking. The safety ropes/handles broke when we grabbed them. When we were able to swim and beach the kayak, the bottom was full of holes. **notified the owner and he retrieved the equipment. Offered to replace the kayak for further use. The "neighbors" are more than unkind. We had permission to bring my dog. Next door had a yapping dog. My dog barked loud 2 barks and the lady next door shouted "tell your dog to shutup." This happened on more than one occasion. While walking back from the beached kayak, a man from the neighborhood yelled at his dogs (OFF LEASH) "go getem" and sent his dogs after me. He told me to "f**k off" and called me a b*tch. Told me that illegal renters are not welcome. His off leash dogs daily made their way to the rental property. I told the homeowner this man sent his 2 large dogs after us. The owner stated we are to "keep the peace to prevent police involvement".

About the host

Hosted by David Harrell

Host profile image
I have lived in South Florida since 2003. I am a real estate investor/developer. I enjoy boating, fishing, diving, cycling, traveling and living in this beautiful piece of paradise!! I moved from Atlanta, to be in this perfect place to enjoy all that So. Florida has to offer, without the congestion of a city.

Why they chose this property

A large dock for access and it sits on beautiful Sawfish Bay Lagoon. You can lay in a hammock between two large coconut palms at the pool or get into the jacuzzi, or heated salt pool, have a small fire or cook up some oysters or shrimp outside on the fire pit! We also have a large gas grill. Patio is screened in overlooking pool and bay to sit and read or just relax, it is centrally located by road and water.

What makes this property unique

Large water view with no other homes or boats in the entire water view, just a large green island. So, no heavy inter coastal boat traffic, just water and peaceful green. The home is also on a dead end street with water on both sides, also no heavy or fast car traffic, for the safety of children and pets.
