If you would rather not captain a boat, we can arrange a small charter boat to pick you up right from our dock. Our dock has cleats to allow for easy dockage if you rent a boat or bring your own.
We provide basic fishing equipment to fish off the dock and a Weber grill to grill what you catch!

SECURITY AND SERENITY
The main reason that our tropical oasis retreat is so peaceful is because the neighbors on all sides are full-time residents of Wilton Manors. The eclectic group of couples, families, and retirees are a fun and friendly group. The city motto of Wilton Manors is âLife is just better hereâ and we take measures to protect the peacefulness of the neighborhood.
The City of Wilton Manors strictly enforces vacation rental regulations. For our property this includes:
Absolutely no parties or large gatherings. Neighbors WILL call the police.
No more than 8 overnight guests and all overnight guests must be registered.
Quiet hours are from 10pm until 8am, enforced by NoiseAware technology.
Violations of these rules set by the City of Wilton Manors will result in eviction without refund and heavy fines, which will be deducted from your security deposit.
While the neighborhood is very safe, we do have four exterior security cameras located at the front door, dock, and side walkways to ensure guest safety and peace of mind. We take guest privacy seriously. There are no internal cameras or audio recording technology inside the house. The backyard (including the pool and pool deck) is not within range of the exterior security cameras. The NoiseAware devices located in the living room and backyard monitor decibel levels ONLY and never record conversations.
