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!
House was very comfortable, well equipped with all the comforts of home. Would definitely stay here again.

Theresa so happy you and the family enjoyed your stay. It was our pleasure. It's always nice to hear our house makes guests feel as comfortable as their own home. Be happy to have you be our guests again.
As first time VRBO renters our experience was fantastic. We stayed for the month of February. It was a nice safe neighborhood close to almost everything that one would need. The host was very accommodating. I highly recommend this place

So pleased you and the family were able to enjoy what I really enjoy about staying at Casa Mahogany. Cooling of in the pool, being able to see the water, canal or pool, from most rooms in the house and walks in the neighbourhood or runs to the beach. Thanks for sharing those thoughts and we appreciated you taking good care of the house. Please come visit again anytime.
Overall it was just as advertised Only thing I would have preferred is to have landscaper to clean up the property once a week.Inside was clean and had everything we needed

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.
Great guests. Stayed during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic so many restaurants and activities were closed or starting to close. Either way John, Kim and friends make themselves comfortable in the house and spent many hours enjoying all that that the backyard had to offer.
The outdoor pool area, with the magnificent mahogany tree, and location on the canal is just outstanding

Dennis glad you enjoyed all that Casa Mahogany has to offer especially outside. One of my favorite things to do just chill under the Mahogany tree by the Canal.
This property is welcoming, easy to adapt to and has a relaxing environment. The communications with the owner are efficient. The location is practical and there is much to do in the area. The pool and terrace layout are a great place to hang out.
We had a great time with family. Beautiful home, clean and spacious. A pool and hot tub with a view on the canal were all wonderful. Thoroughly relaxing. Hope to be back next year.

So gald enjoyed your stay and Casa Mahogany had all you needed for a great trip. It was also a pleasure to help your during your stay and thanks for staying in touch with any questions you had and observations made. Would love to have you and the family revisit.
Had a fantastic time. Property is beautiful, clean. Kids loved the pool and hot tub, and fishing in the canal (no luck though!). Owners responded quickly to questions. Location is short drive to Pompano Beach, and Ft Lauderdale and Del Ray Beach are 30 min away. Pompano Community Park has nice playground and running path.
We loved the location. Short drive to the ocean and many restaurants. Close enough drive to Fort Lauderdale and airport. Received excellent information on everything from the hosts. Had a issue with the hot tub but received quick response and fix within a day. Highly recommended. Would rent again if we ever return to the area.
The host was amazing in every way ..very easy to communicate with… the best part is waking up on the canal with a beautiful sunrise!
Very convenient short easy ride to a beautiful beach with restaurants… grocery stores, and all the conveniences minutes away… there is a lot of space in this home, and a patio with lush greenery ,beautiful pool & hot tub made it the perfect setting to enjoy life with family & friends .
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!

Lynne, Jarett and Steven were wonderful guests. Great at communicating through text or online chat. Took care of our home. Let us know we had a slight drip leak from one of the faucets. We were able to address this quickly before the leak caused any water damage. Very thoughtful and easy going.

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!

Laura and her family were terrific guests. Very easy to host, very responsive to messages. It was a pleasure to have Laura and her family stay at Casa Mahogany and we would gladly welcome them to stay with us in the future.
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!

Diane and Gabriel thanks for such a nice review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and the family. So glad you enjoyed time at our home, Casa Mahogany, and the Pompano area. We hope you return to the area in the future and we would be more than happy to have you as returning guests.
Best Wishes Nigel & Maria
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.
About the host
Hosted by Nigel and Maria Smith
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.
