Sailboat Bend Retreat: Serene Private Home in Fort Lauderdale

Six blocks from Las Olas and a world away from it. Sailboat Bend Retreat is a fully renovated historic home on one of Fort Lauderdale's quietest, most walkable streets, where the porch light stays on, the backyard stays shaded, and the dog is welcome at the table. 🐶 WHY GUESTS BOOK THIS HOME 🌿 Private, fenced, shaded backyard with lounge seating, outdoor dining and a charcoal grill with utensils (bring your own charcoal) 🐕 Dog-friendly with prior approval, so nobody stays behind 🚗 Free driveway parking (2 small cars or 1 pickup truck) and keypad self check-in after 4 PM 🍽️ Open-concept kitchen with island seating for four, stainless appliances, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, blender, full cookware, dishes and wine glasses 💻 300 Mbps Wi-Fi and a laptop-friendly desk in the living area ❄️ Central A/C, ceiling fans, room-darkening shades and cotton linens 🏡 Single level, no stairs, private entrance 🍂 FALL, MADE EASY Cooler evenings were made for the backyard: grill dinner, wine on the patio, morning coffee in the shade.
