Family Waterfront Retreat – Private Pool, Hot Tub, Walk to Beach!

Casa Mahogany is a cozy and relaxing hideaway surrounded by tropical plants and a sturdy 100 ft mahogany tree protected by Florida endangered species society. It is home to squirrels, bright green Iguanas, blue Jay birds and at times wild green Parakeets make a stop on its canopy to take a break. Next to the tree, sharing a little of its shadow, is an inviting pool and Jacuzzi that contours the landscape.
Rent boat or jet ski nearby and greet your guests at the wooden dock. The open ocean is only 20-25 minutes’ boat ride away!
Spend a quiet time fishing under the mahogany tree while enjoying the ocean breeze. The backyard faces the ocean to the east and in the morning you can often enjoy a beautiful sunrise and sometimes in the evening an impressive full moon.

Kevin it was a pleasure to have you and your family stay at Casa Mahogany. Thank you for your insight. We have a landscaper go by every 3 weeks or so to cut grass, trim and clean up but I think at certain times of the year it may be useful to have him go more often to deal with the changing seasons.

We just returned from an incredible week at Casa Mahogany with my wife and our two kids, and it was one of the best family vacations we’ve had. From the moment we pulled up, we felt welcomed into a true tropical oasis. The house is beautifully maintained, spacious, and spotless—open layout with water views from almost every room made it feel airy and relaxing right away.The private pool and hot tub were the absolute highlights for our family. The kids (and honestly, the adults too!) spent hours splashing in the beautiful pool, lounging in the Jacuzzi overlooking the wide canal. The backyard is magical—surrounded by tropical plants, that massive mahogany tree and a good spot for fishing. Inside, everything was comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed for home-cooked meals, the beds were comfortable and the living room with the big TV was great.The host was super responsive and helpful, making check-in simple. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend—10/10 from our crew!

Casa Mahogany: The Perfect Vacation Home

We had a great time at Casa Mahogany. The backyard was absolutely the best part. We used the spa a lot this time of the year, and the boys especially enjoyed catching many different types of fish off the dock. They recommend using live shrimp from Aces bait shop. The beach was a short drive away and easy to find parking at. Also, I recommend Little Italian for pizza. Nigel the owner was easy to work with although we had no issues during our stay. Easy check in and check out. Highly recommend this property for family vacations!

Great place to stay in Pompano Beach!

This is a wonderful home to stay in Pompano Beach! We were a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 children). The home was equipped very well, was a wonderful thing to barbeque in Floridas warm night and sit outside by the pool. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. Our group thought the home was even better than on the photos, we would definetely stay there again if we ever come back to Florida. Nigel and Maria always replied to our messages quikly and were very helpful. The location was perfect, a quiet neigborough but close to restaurants and grocery stores. But of course you need a car. Perfect place for a vacation!

Family Thanksgiving

As soon as you walk through the door you know you are where you are supposed to be. The home is beautiful and large enough to accommodate our family of 10 for our Thanksgiving dinner. The outdoor scenery is stunning! We could not have asked for better hosts. Nigel was concerned for our happiness, comfort, and was so understanding when we were “surprised “ with a visit from our family from North Carolina. Casa Mahogany is an amazing home with amazing hosts. Thank you!

We totally enjoyed our stay here over Spring Break. The backyard is so peaceful with the pool, hot tub, a great view and canal breezes to keep you cool. The house is set up great for large or small groups. Bedrooms have good separation and there are many futons available for kids. The bathrooms make you feel that you are at a spa! The owners have stocked the house with lots of extras like pool toys, fishing poles and laundry supplies which make it super convenient and they are very responsive if you need anything. Lastly Pompano is a great town and the beach is really nice too. Thank you Nigel and Maria!

Beautiful Pool!

We enjoyed our time here! The pool is big and so beautiful with the canal in the background. Our only complaint was the the hot tub didn't work properly. It would only heat when the bubbles were on full blast which is quite uncomfortable after awhile. I also wish there would have been more pool towels, pillowcases for the extra pillows and a starter bottle of detergent. The living room TV also broke but the owner was quick to purchase a replacement. Overall I would recommend this place!

Glad you enjoyed your stay especially the backyard and the pool. Yes the air buttons to the Spa can sometimes get water in the lines and not work or stick. What I should have thought to have told you is to get the Spa to desired temperature and turn it off. That would have worked and it stays warm for a long time. Not encountered this situation as most guest like the bubbles and jets. Surprised at not enough pool towels. We provide a basket (7) of older towels (just more faded colors) in addition to the newer pool towels (1 each). Need to check with housekeeper. I wish would have asked me about the pillow cases we have these in the spare 3rd room.in the dresser. I'll make a point of specifying that in the future. Thanks for your patience with TV. Glad we got it resolved quickly in these tricky supply and demand challenges times we are having.

Our family stayed in this particular location so we could be near family and on the water. The house was very clean and very spacious - all the rooms were good sized and the bathrooms were updated nicely – 2 1/2 baths were quite welcomed.. The area is convenient to lots - only 4 mins to a Publix and restaurants, etc. I would say that, when we booked, although advertised as a three bedroom, the third bedroom is actually a converted den (which worked fine) with two futons, not actual beds. These could work for a small child or person, but not for our 18-yr-old.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
Paula and family were pleasant, helpful and easy to host. In the near future we will be looking to add a bed to the 3rd bedroom / lounge but will also continue to keep the sofabeds/futons as a sitting area in this large room. So for smaller groups of guest this can continue to provide an area as a relaxing lounge as well as a bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Nigel and Maria Smith

Host profile image

Welcome to Casa Mahogany. My wife's and I truly enjoyed our home in Pompano Beach, Florida where we lived for 18 years. We loved being by the water. There is something peaceful, calming and spiritual about being close to it and the nature it attracts.

Why they chose this property

We purchase this our home some 18 yrs ago. It is in a beautiful location on 70 ft waterfront, a 120 ft wide canal and home to a 100 ft endangered Mahogany tree. At that time the house was in dire need of repair. Since then we have completely modernized the home and backyard. Upgrading the kitchen, all the bathrooms, bedrooms and floors. A new roof patio, Pool with Spa have all been installed. We created our our paradise and truly enjoyed the outdoor pleasures of Florida starting right from our backyard, Kayaking, jet skiing and fishing. Boating to waterside restaurants, open blue ocean of golden beaches.

What makes this property unique

I have seen manatees basking, 5 ft tarpon splashing, ospreys swooping down for fish, stingrays, iguanas, squirrels and beautiful sunsets; as well as being surrounded by water (canal, pool and 2 miles from the beach) there is an abundance of places to dine. We like to treat ourselves to good and varied food so have listed many places for you to visit in our Guest book.
