THE KEY LIME HOUSE AT PORT SALERNO ~
Come fishing in Port Salerno, the sailfish capitol of the United States! We can't decide which is better: the closeness to the intercoastal waterway and the short boating distance to the Atlantic Ocean, its spaciousness & unique design (and the kitchen and drawer space are huge), awesome views from so many different areas, especially from the top deck lookout point, that this property is great for a friends week away or a long term parent/grandparent stay w/visiting family or however else you see fit for your situation. Both patio decks are fully enclosed by screens to prevent those pesky bugs from ruining your experience! Plus, it's very close to great restaurants, entertainment, and parks. Do you like games? We have tons from which you can choose! Bike riding? We have 5 of them: from removable training wheel bikes to adult cruisers. Want to go to the beach? We've got you covered (yes, sunscreen, beach chairs & all)!

Want to fish in the Sailfish Capital of the U.S.? We have all the things you need to make that happen (well, except the sailfish)! ;) Thought about kayaking in the Intercostal Waterway? What about kayaking and fishing at the same time? We have 2 kayaks with "holes for poles!" Do you want to grill? We have one of those, as well. We have 3 smart TVs, one on the upper enclosed outside deck, and we have the highest speed Wifi available, air conditioning, an air fryer, a printer to print up boarding passes or whatever else you need! There's just so much goodness in our multi-level home & we're excited for you to experience it all and make it your Home Away From Home! We've got brand new most-everything & we can't wait for you to enjoy The Key Lime House at Port Salerno!

The entire house is available for your use, and we hope you enjoy every part of it! Head's up though: Should you decide to ride any or all of the bikes, you understand that you are doing so at your own risk. By renting The Key Lime House at Port Salerno, you acknowledge that you will hold the owners harmless from any injury, damage, or death as a result of your use of the bicycle(s), and you accept full responsibility for anything resulting from use. For safety purposes, please use the helmets we have provided! We have adult-size, child-size, and toddler-size helmets. Please no tandem riding on any of the bicycles.

Should you decide to use the kayaks, you understand that you are doing so at your own risk. By renting The Key Lime House at Port Salerno, you acknowledge that you will hold the owners harmless from any injury, damage, or death as a result of your use of the kayak(s), and you accept full responsibility for anything resulting from use. For safety purposes, you must wear the life jackets that should be with each kayak. Please do not take the kayak if you are unable to locate the life jacket.

Final "party-pooper" caveats: Please note the minimum age for the main booking guest is 21 years old! Additionally, there is no smoking allowed, including no vaping. And lastly, no parties are allowed without written permission from the hosts. Violation of any or all of these will result in a $200 penalty for each violation.

If you use the kayak(s), you must rinse them out using the hose near the garage. Failure to wash down the kayak(s) will require us to pay our cleaner to wash them down/out, resulting in a $200 additional charge to you. Any damage or loss to a kayak will result in a $500 penalty for each ($1,000 if both are lost or damaged).

Oh my goodness Lynn we are so glad you felt comfortable visiting with family at our home! Thank you for recognizing we pretty much had everything (except a blow dryer 😉) - that was our goal when we decided we would open up our home to others. I hope not having a blow dryer there didn’t affect your stay. It was actually suggested to us that we don’t leave a blow dryer or phone charger(s) because somehow those end up being removed. In any event, you are absolutely welcome to come back any time The Key Lime House at Port Salerno is available and we hope to have you return in the near future! Deb & Keith Baumel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Key Lime House. The hosts, Deb & Keith, are easy to communicate with. There were generous supplies and the kitchen is equipped for the gourmet cook. The best was very comfortable; linens and towels are beyond adequate. We’ve been renting in SE Florida for a number of years and this house and our hosts provided our best winter vacation yet!

About the host

Hosted by Keith & Deb

Host profile image
Keith & I are originally from California but have wanted to be in Florida forEVER, especially Keith who has been boating and fishing his entire life! We've put a lot of time, money, and positive energy in to our home to make The Key Lime House at Port Salerno something where we hope you will feel so comfortable being here that you'll want to make it a ritual to return to your Home Away From Home! Plus, you'll need to rent it if you want to know why we call it The Key Lime House at Port Salerno! ;)

Why they chose this property

We love the quaint area with so much to do so close. We love knowing it is safe around here, we love our neighbors, we love our intercoastal view, and we love having a boat slip in a private dock. That's a lot of love! lol

What makes this property unique

We've been told by many guests and friends that our home is the perfect mix of laid back and modern, which makes us beyond happy because THAT IS [literally] THE LOOK AND FEEL WE WANTED!!! And, we definitely have that sense while we're here but to know other people feel it, as well, is such a great thing.
