A different angle I took off the Hillsboro Inlet lighthouse we see in this episode behind Sarah and Phil as they walk North on the beach at Miracle Mile in Hillsboro Beach.

Another nice view of Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse in Hillsboro Beach we see in “Phil the Shill”. Of course we see this from looking south and this angle is looking north looking towards Deerfield.

And another angle of the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse that was sent to me today as featured in this fall 1985 episode directed by John Nicollela.:hippie:

I took this last year up in Aventura just off Biscayne from the teaser of this episode - looking south instead of the north shot we see in this fall 1985 episode starring Kyra Sedgwick and Phil the Shill.:hippie:

Phil the Shill territory here- just 3-4 km west of the A1A property used as Phil’s residence up in Hillsboro Beach and the beach/inlet lighthouse we saw in this episode. I’d never heard of this rapper but it caught my attention with Deerfield Beach. The rapper was shot dead in daylight and they are not ruling out robbery it’s all over the news services Today.The location of the shooting was 3671 N.Dixie Hwy. These are very small quaint towns up there north of Fort Lauderdale.

I posted a few shots of Hillsboro Inlet lighthouse last month - this was sent to me today to compliment those shots as featured (and beach from an alternate angle) in this episode.:hippie:

From the Fall 1985 episode “Phil the Shill”. I know we don’t see the Hillsboro Beach Inlet lighthouse this close or this section of the A1A but this was sent to me today and I thought wow! Taken in Hillsboro Beach, 2018.

Nice shot in “Phil the Shill” from late fall 1985 over to the Aventura Turnberry Isle Golf course (we see these buildings again in Aventura during the end chase scene in “Blood and Roses”).

PHIL´S House at 971 Hillsboro Mile was sold just yesterday for 6.75m USD.

Beautiful aerial pics that none of us have seen before from all angles that show this MV landmark perfectly.

@C Glideshould add these pics to his location website.

Great info Tom - I visited this house and the beach area , just north of the Hillsboro Inlet, a year or two ago and it looked terribly run down and empty so it’s good it’s been sold. I never had thought about the location of the small pool and never realised it was at the front of the property. Great house - Miami Vice certainly chose high-end properties.

I visited this house in January 2022 during a Miami vacation.

One of my favorite houses of the whole series. Still timeless with a impressive design. Great located on the beach.

If anyone has pictures from the outside or the interior - please share on the forum or contact me.

I posted some aerials further up in this thread when the house was sold 1 year ago. There are no interior pics as the house seemed to be run down and apparently up for renovation after purchase. This house was also designed by Peter Blitstein like Brenda´s house (https://www.blitsteindesign.com/residential--multifamily?lightbox=i115p6

Sad news for us...

Phil's house on 971 Hillsboro Mile has been demolished this year. The empty lot is currently (December 2022) for sale ($15'900'000). Too bad there was no renovation of the house.

On the lot will be a new house with a new boat dock.

The Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale was demolished a few years ago. Some resemblance to the final scenes of this episodes see below.

HI, new to the forum, i have some pics that i took before being demolished, and from some windows where you can see the interior, but i have no clue to post pics, and the phone took them in that HEIF mode ( which i thought i got rid of it ) Very sad to see the house gone, i'm from another country, where i watched MV at a young age, always dreaming to live " there " Everytime that i passed by that house on my bike, it was magical, it was Miami, it was Sonny and Rico, it was everything to me. Sad to see also that people with money can do whatever they want. I always dreamed that a millionaire MV fan will buy that house, and put a white Jalpa in the garage, everyone was there at that time! Excellent everything!! Are you doctors? and Copper saying " yes, nose specialists, jeje " what a brilliant couple. I can send the pics to anybody that can upload them. Thanks for all the info!

Welcome to the site! I hope you can figure it out—we’d love to see the pics!

I am also looking for more pictures of this house (interior and exterior). 

Please share in the forum - it's one of the greatest Miami Vice mansions.

All pictures known are posted in this thread and are exterior. As the house was recently demolished, it is unlikely that we will ever get more pics.

Sadly Phil´s house was razed last year.

Here are some pics shortly before demolition that have not been posted so far and the comparison pics in the episode.
