About this property

Private Waterfront Home, Heated Pool, Beach, Tiki w/Grill, Dock, Kayaks, Sunset

Flexible Check in dates may be available upon request! Upon entering Pioneer Del Layton's private estate, you will experience spectacular sunsets and one of the most beautiful views of the Florida Bay from the beach area or, if you prefer indoors, from every room in the Layton House.. Centrally located between Islamorada and Marathon, you are moments from all water activities, state parks, museums, shops and restaurants. Swim with the dolphins at Dolphin Research Center or experience the hands-on Turtle Hospital. Kayak, swim and fish off the property. Rent jet skis for a fun tour or individually. Cross under Long Key Bridge and you are home to Hemmingway's offshore fishing. Dock your boat at the private 70+ foot dock (boat rentals available), swim in your large private circular heated sale water pool, and cook your catch at the spacious Gazebo on the 5-burner gas grill or in the huge remodeled kitchen. After dinner, enjoy a relaxing evening on the beach stargazing and roasting marshmallows for s'mores at the bonfire. Be sure to plan a day in Key West to see the sights there. We are located 1 hr. 45 minutes from Miami Intl. Airport, 1 hr. 30 minutes from Key West.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Lange

Host profile image
I am granddaughter to Del and Mary Layton, and I own and manage the property. I grew up in Miami and came to the Keys often as a child with my grandparents, spending many summers here. I remember fondly the 'long' drives down on the rough roads and the rattling draw bridges in the back seat of the Chevrolet Impala with Pat, the family dog. After marrying and having two sons, we continued coming down to see my grandparents each chance we could, bringing friends and church groups to enjoy our blessings. Mary and Del were gracious, enjoyed people and were loved by all that knew them. I hope to continue sharing the joy that the Layton House has brought to so many over the years as families and friends build lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

This property has been passed down from my grandfather, Del Layton, to his daughter, Aileen Howard and now to me. He founded this little piece of paradise in the Middle Keys after selling his grocery business in Miami in the late 1940's to follow his dream. You can read the history in his biography, Pioneer in the Florida Keys. The property is beautifully landscaped, spacious, tranquil and private. You can walk to the Long Key State Park and ride for miles on the bicycle path enjoying the views.

What makes this property unique

The historic Layton property is one of the most beautiful in the Middle Florida Keys with open water views from every angle, gorgeous changing sunsets, and swaying palm trees from the many windows in the home. My grandfather carved out this slice of paradise for the family. We are the only homes Bayside in Layton. The huge, well appointed kitchen with a large semi-circular island seating 8 is the gathering place for young and old to cook, eat and enjoy each other's company. We provide board games, numerous puzzles, cards and dominoes for inside activities. Pictures displayed around the home recall times from the past. The large circular, heated saltwater pool, surrounded with native landscaping, is a fantastic place to unwind and relax before grilling your catch and having dinner in the tiki. There are many puzzles, board games, cards and dominoes inside the house. Outside you can try your hand at croquette, corn hole and bocce ball to add to your memories at The Layton House.
