What a private oasis!

We loved the Layton House - huge outdoor and indoor space, pool, fishing, kayaking, learning about the history of Layton, etc. Every night we built a fire, watching sunsets and gazing stars. My grand-kids loved swimming in the pool, fishing, swimming with dolphins, and a trip to Key West. If you have a large family with young kids, the bedrooms would work. For adult couples, you might share Jack-and-Jill bathrooms. Overall it was one of the best vacation places. Thanks Linda!

Beautiful House in the Middle Keys

The property is on the water in a beautiful part of the Keys with every detail considered. This is an old family home and the generational care of the property makes it a lovely and unique place to stay. Linda is a wonderful, warm, generous and incredibly helpful host. We literally loved every minute and hope to be back soon.

Slice of paradise….

Our family of 7 enjoyed everything that the Layton House offered. The description is 100% accurate as described and the pictures don’t even do the beauty of this private oasis justice. Breathtaking water views and lots of fun outdoor activities like fishing, kayaking, and swimming in the heated pool were some of our favorite things. The indoor space was perfectly spacious, very clean, and very comfortable. We loved how quiet and private the house is situated. The hostess Linda was extremely welcoming and wonderful to work with. We look forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Lange

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.
