Many famous houses in Florida boast of their provenance or their heritage. We guarantee The Sandhurst Estate, a private compound on almost two acres has a unique provenance one does not encounter often. The compound was featured as 2004 MTV’s Summer Beach House with Usher, as the Ultimate Dream Vacation Home on HGTV’s Vacation Living Show and in Martha Stewart’s Living Magazine. Sandhurst Estate is the perfect option for a relaxing vacation home, family reunion, corporate (discreet) retreat, special event or destination wedding.

The waterfront estate captures the architecture of Florida and the Caribbean in its Colonial West Indies style with 8 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms accommodating 20 guests in opulent yet laid-back comfort and style. On the estate grounds, guests enjoy the oversized heated pool with poolside bar and keg cooer, a tennis court, and boat dock (kayaks included). Of course, for the beach experience, just use the private access to one of the finest beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.  Additional island pastimes include golf, boating, kayaking, snorkeling, nature walks, shelling, biking, parasailing and fishing.

While we may suggest employing the services of the private chef, you are just a short distance from the village of Captiva. This secluded unspoiled tropical village offers guests gourmet restaurants, outdoor cafes, boutiques and art galleries (the late artist Robert Rauschenberg kept a home and studio on the island).

Leave the madras and Lilly Pulitzer attire in Palm Beach, when visiting Captiva Island its all about relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration, all within luxury surroundings found few places on this earth.

If you have not heard of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado we forgive you. For many of us, it’s a secret destination we do not necessarily wish to share with outsiders. This area of Colorado is truly unspoiled. No major Interstate highways bisecting the spectacular vistas, just two-lane blacktop. Snow capped peaks and hillsides retain their trees and foliage, not a McMansion in site. On the valley floor, ranches dominate the landscape to the horizon.

Within this enchanted area of Colorado we are proud to offer Keyah Grande, an exclusive retreat and the perfect rental compound for weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, family getaways, or romantic escapes all nestled in the heart of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains.

Keyah Grande encompasses more than 4,000 acres of superb terrain and facilities for an enviable array of seasonal outdoor activities including trap and sporting clay courses, elk hunting, horseback riding, snowmobiling, ATV trails and fishing. A backdrop of natural beauty surrounds the luxuriously intimate Guest House, yet the interior elegance is strictly man-made. From the 300 year old hand-carved Spanish doors to the unmistakable 21st century Dale Chihuly “End of Day” glass sculpture, it is immediately clear that this place is one-of-a-kind and not to be missed.

The ‘private home’ ambiance of the Guest House invites visitors to relax and enjoy. Unwind on the magnificent flying deck with a glass of vintage bubbly or share steaming hot chocolate around the African-inspired fire pit. Gathering areas include the Lounge, with pool and game tables, wide-screen plasma TV, and video games; a Great Room with an oversized fireplace and baby grand piano; two exquisitely appointed dining areas for formal or intimate seating; a high-tech, low-key conference room; and a simply elegant spa that offers restorative treatments inspired by the waters, forests, and mountains that surround the property.

Within the Guest House there are eight (8) individually designed, oversized suites that ensure an extraordinary personalized experience. The liberal use of art and antiques from diverse international regions, and an eclectic décor fuse with modern amenities to create a refreshingly exuberant atmosphere. Subtle golden hues accent the South Pacific Suite while the America Suite is boldly red, white and blue. Each room is expanded by panoramic views and creature comforts such as whirlpool tub, satellite TV and radio, and WiFi service.

While all of Las Vegas is known for its “superlatives” we believe we have the ultimate vacation home rental retreat in Las Vegas. Widely known as The Las Vegas Mini-Castles, the property can be rented as one large compound or individually offering 4 unique lodging options. This retreat of four luxury mini-castles is located within a gated community just a ½ mile off the south-end of Las Vegas Boulevard.

• 31,000 SF / 2,880 SM of Living Space
• 36 Guest Suites
• 44 Bathrooms

The compound would be the ultimate retreat for corporate retreats, intimate destination weddings, anniversaries or celebrations, special get-togethers, or anyone considering the unique-versus-generic hotels for conventions. Groups and those wishing to be together and have the ability to entertain clients when necessary in luxury and style which cannot be replicated by any hotel in Las Vegas would find this property a perfect choice.
