This was the clincher for me.  Once I saw this, I knew you had found it.

Congrats, this is an remarkable find!  I searched from here to all the way up to the northern end of Broward but couldn't find it.

The Hibiscus Island house that you guys had discussed years ago was an incredibly close match.  It must have been the same architect.

https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=602d09bc-0596-4b26-85fd-8f48cad550ea&cp=25.78198~-80.156055&lvl=22&dir=270&style=g&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

Thanks airtommy! For me that house was the clincher overall in location finding as it was such a long mystery despite the waterfront location!

Last few days I thought several times about that Hibiscus Island house. That is a good example for the importance of accurate examination of the episodes still my still and the improvement of our search capabilities.
Because in hindsight that house should never have been considered seriously as a possibility because the location surrounding did not match with some crucial criteria (no long parallel-Like waterway in background).

what we have achieved in accuracy is remarkable: if you think about it-even in these short scenes in RIB that were filmed in a way that not much of the house was revealed, we were able to suss out such a richness of information, ie a dozen of unique clues and find it by eliminating other locations and verifying the house even without realtor pictures. 

If we had that accuracy and structured skills a few years ago we would have found it back then.

I also searched all way up but there was no second possible spot with parallel waterway and tip of land possible. 

now I am very confident that we will find all other unknown locations too!

PS as for the statistics: of around 40% of all episodes we have production notes (we have all location adresses oficially on paper), from the rest (estimated 6-7 locations per episode on average) we have a hit rate of 92.5% (found all of est. 396 unknown locations but 30)! That is crazy and unbelievable!

If somebody at Universal finds out they would refer us to the NSA for such skills!

Where is this house?  Not a trivia question, I can't remember but it looks familiar.

That was easy, as we see a big, green round island and a golf court in the background, thus Star Island is ruled out as all other small islands and the golf courts usually have no houses next to it. But there is one golf court that fits.

17 Indian Creek Island Road

But as this is non-MV, please post such topics next time in a respective thread that fits.

Gee, didn't know there were any official restrictions on using this thread.  Also I thought this house was in Vice.

Maybe you mistook it for the Little Prince house which looked remotedly similar?

There is no official restriction of course, but I thought it is clear that this house was never on the series (otherwise we had discussed and found it already:D) and this is the MV Filming Locations thread.

Was this house in Vice? Found this pic on line and it looks very familiar.  No address with the pic.  I know it's not the home you see in Home Invaders with the roller skating girl in front even though it has a similar round turret.  I seem to remember a house with a similar turret in one of the later seasons that was a "judge's house" that Tubbs found?  Help out an old guy whose memory is slipping.  Thanks.

No, it was not. It looks similar to the Judge´s house in Contempt of Court, that´s right. But the Judge house was on a corner of Flamingo Drive (2580 Flamingo was the exterior scene at the entrance) and this house is not.

Will be making a trip to Mijami with friends soon.  If anyone would like me to check out a location, or take photos of a particular spot let me know.  I can probably fit it into my trip.

Accessible Locations where we don’t have pictures would be my first idea, eg Crockett/Caitlin‘s house at 10900 SW 83 Court in Kendall. That is easy to do from the public street that ends there.

Reposting this, had to delay my trip because we didn't know how bad the tropical storm would be.  Leaving soon, have location ideas/requests from Tom and airtommy.  Anyone else.

On my annual trip to Mijami 2 weeks ago I only had time to take photos of two locations.  Both in very nice neighborhoods. This first was the one airtommy suggested - 3351 Poinciana Avenue, Coconut Grove that was Castillo’s house in Golden Triangle 2, Bushido, and Heart of Night.  I had no trouble talking my way into the gate guarded street, I just told the guard I wanted to take a pic of the house that was in Miami Vice.  Vice fans are everywhere.  To me the front looks a lot like the house that was in Vice.  It’s still there.

Screen cap from season 5’s Heart of night:

Some of the pics I took:

3.thumb.jpg.840a483b108c91e864d1be02590ffddd.jpg

The second location I visited, at Tom’s suggestion, was the Sonny/Catlin house, 10900 SW 83 Court, Kendall.  It is the same house as in Rising sun of death and Love at first sight.  Looks a little different. These are the best I could get, a lady came out and didn’t like me taking pics of her house regardless of the reason.

Thanks Jim for your brave attempt to take these pictures especially since there is no Vice fan living at Caitlin’s address now! :p

although the big window at the house has been changed the house itself and the low partly glass brick mural in front of it is still the same!

we have had no real front pic of both important locations (both in 3+ episodes!)  - until now! :clap:
 

PS the Castillo house is still owned by the same (Pancoast) family as it has never been in the market. This. explains why they are more relaxed about photographers. The Kendall home has been sold after Vice and the new owners are not relaxed or informed or both for whatever reason. The fact that this house was on the show increases the value and with good photos taken once by Jim likelihood for more fan photographers are much lower…:)

Oh, wow!  That name Pancoast rang a bell because Lake Pancoast is where Crockett jumps off the footbridge onto a boat in "One Way Ticket".  So, I dig around and find that the Pancoasts are one of the founding families of Miami. And the owner's family tree also includes the Fairchilds and John Collins.

So, it seems this house is VERY safe from destruction.

:thumbsup:

Helene Pancoast owns the Castillo house. She is as mysterious as Castillo. Maybe some kind of Robin Masters/Magnum relationship?:)

Interesting, why is Helene mysterious?  Glad the house is safe.  The name Pancoast should have rung a bell with me, it's a lake between Miami and Miami Beach.

An interesting mystery is the beach house near the end of "Wild Things".  It looks like Crandon Park on Key Biscayne.   @Matt5 Did you ever see such a structure there?

You actually see them walk inside and there is a working bathroom, so it's not just a facade.  However, the Glades Motel was just a set built across the street from Jimbo's, so maybe this beach house was constructed for the movie.

No nothing like that on Crandon Park, there is a bigger structure but no staircase onto the beach and it’s near the Commodore Club Guardhouse building at 177 Ocean Lane Dr, Key Biscayne (off where Crandon Bvld meets Harbor Dr).

Some time ago, somebody (possibly MiamiJimF) posted a pic of a low-rent apartment building, 2-3 stories tall, with outdoor stairways, possibly green.   Can anybody remember what I'm talking about?   I'm pretty sure it was not from MV, rather it was from a movie or another TV show like Burn Notice.
