The views and amenities at the Layton House are perfect, and Linda the property manager is awesome! The property is gorgeous and the kitchen in the house is amazing. One caveat would be that two of the bedrooms are on the smaller side and share a bathroom - not a big deal for a family but not ideal for a group of friends. As long as the bedroom space meets your needs, however, you absolutely cannot beat this place!

This property was amazing for our extended family Christmas getaway. The accommodations were stellar and would be good for any special occasion venue like a wedding, corporate retreat, or simply a family gathering like ours. It felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities as well as gadgets and cooking equipment. There were multiple gathering spaces. Linda was amazing from the decorated Christmas tree, special baked goods left for us, and her fore thought to help guests with deciding on excursions, places to eat, and general history of the area. The pool heater went out during our stay and she had it fixed immediately without any interruptions to our stay. The property lends to being active with swimming, kayaking, and walking/exploring the local state park to also a very serene time to watch sunsets, read, or simply sun by the water or pool. We didn’t want to leave! We saw dolphins just off our “beach” area at least 2 of our 7 days and some other sea life as well. Our visit to the near by turtle hospital and subsequent live release to the wild was an highlight to our trip. It’s very private yet located centrally to enjoy the upper keys of Key largo and Islamorada easily as well as excursions to Key West. You can’t go wrong with this property!

Place was fantastic. Very clean and comfortable. View of the water and sunsets were out of this world. Definitely reccomend this place. The owner lives on property and was very friendly and kind. She was quiet and gave us space we didnt even know she was there. 5 star

The Layton house is not to be missed! It was the perfect setting for my daughter and my low key birthday celebration. It was private and comfortable. The house, beach, property and pool were immaculate. Linda, the owner, was attentive and available if your needed anything but unless you sought her out, you wouldn’t know she lived next door. Upon arrival we were greeted by the most amazing pumpkin bread that she had baked for us! We will definitely be back!!

Words cannot do the justice describing the beauty of the Layton House. The sunsets will transcend your soul into tranquility. The house in spacious and the open water views make you feel like you are on a ship. Linda’s attention to detail did not go unnoticed from the softest towels to the homemade treat she brought us upon arrival. The pool is large and inviting- I cannot wait to plan another family trip to this beautiful oasis. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

GOREGOUS, FABULOUS,PERFECT!!!!!

Our group of three couples spent a week at this wonderful home. We spent most evenings and every morning sitting around the fire pit next to the ocean. The best thing about this property besides the view, the pool and the amazing house is the absolute sense of privacy. The host, Linda is readily available, but not intrusive at all. Communication with her was a breeze. We all agree it was probably the most amazing place we have ever stayed. Hope to return.

Beautiful home, meticulous property. We enjoyed the fire pit, sunsets, and pool. Everything was just a dream! Highly recommend!
