About this property

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).

Key Lime House - Perfect!

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!

Wow

This is by far the best VRBO we’ve stayed at. Meticulous on every level. There’s even a surprise waiting for you when you get there. The owners and the property deserve 10 stars. Even though the fishing was rough this past weekend, it made all worthwhile knowing that we were coming back to this fine property to enjoy a great meal and some beautiful views. Thank you Deb and Keith! In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, “I’ll be back!”

Love love love

What a wonderful stay we had! This was one of the best “stocked” VRBOs I’ve ever stayed. Hosts are super generous supplying many, many things. Beds were comfy and everything was very clean!!! Plenty of kitchen items, pots/pans, beach bags in the bedrooms with towels and sunscreen and more. We even found the emergency sewing kit as we had a wedding and needed a little stitching on some pants. Can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay and the hosts.

Key lime delight

The house was just what we needed and the hosts thought of everything. They were also super-attentive and responsive when we needed them (not often!). The house is in a charming mostly-boating community (though we are not boaters), convenient to Stuart as well as points south (Hobe Sound and other). We were there for several weeks and came to feel as relaxed with the house and area as if we were at home. A truly wonderful visit.

Wonderful open living/dining/kitchen area

Our family gathered to see our parents who live here. The space was wonderful! We especially enjoyed the open Living/dining/kitchen area so we could all hang out together. Lots of places to sleep and the decor was a great - modern beachy. Lots of support for beach trips. Quick helpful communication from the hosts. I would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect for our large family!

This home is just beautiful and laid out so nicely to accommodate a larger group. The giant patio with huge table was so nice and even a TV outside so football Sunday was a success! The dining room table seats at least 10 as well and we just loved how easy it was to visit with each other during a busy weekend of wedding events. The kitchen had the nicest dishes & serving items that I’ve ever seen in a vacation home. We live in the neighborhood and I’m positive we will be renting this home again! Thank you!

Immaculate Welcoming and Beautiful!

This home is absolutely beautiful, our family felt welcome as soon as we opened the door. There was a nice surprise waiting for us in the fridge, such a great touch! There’s a binder with details about the home and surrounding areas, this was very helpful. The home is extremely clean, the beds were comfy, plenty of towels and pillows, plus extra little goodies around the house. After a day at the beach we nestled at the oversized reclining couch, grabbed cozy blankets (also provided) and watched movies on the big tv screen. All around a great family getaway. I highly recommend this property. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Beautiful Location

Our stay was amazing. This home is in a quiet safe neighborhood, with lovely water views. The owners were kind enough to leave a delicious Key Lime Pie in the fridge! Each bedroom had a basket filled with towels and sunblock, nice touch. It was very well stocked, making our stay easy, lots of extras! The entire outdoor decks were screened in, making the outdoor enjoyable! The property has beautiful plantings outside adding to the ambiance. The beds were super comfy and the curtains blocked out the sun early in the morning, so sleeping in was a pleasure. The house is spacious making it easy to chill. The hosts were delightful, responsive, friendly people. We highly recommend the Key Lime House at Port Salerno!

A great place in Stuart!

What a great house and great hosts! We were in town for a birthday celebration for my 80 year old Mom. This place was great for the family we had gathered together. So well stocked with towels and other items. The kitchen is great -- make sure to check every cabinet and drawer, because they're filled with everything you could need. Cute neighborhood, close to downtown and all the other places we needed to go. Deb and Keith were so easy to work with and the special surprise they had at the house was a great touch! Would definitely come back here again!

Luxuriöses Ferien - Domizil

Deb und Keith sind sehr freundliche Vermieter und das Haus lässt keine Wünsche offen! Der Check-in ist total unkompliziert und 24 Stunden möglich. Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht (sogar noch mehr) und liegt in einer ruhigen, etwas gehobeneren Wohngegend, optimal für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen Floridas. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und die Größe vom Haus ist auch mit 10 Personen noch sehr komfortabel. Alles in allem eine klare Empfehlung von uns - Daumen hoch 👍🏻

Women’s weekend getaway!

This was the perfect place for our little wellness beach getaway! Loved the screened in porch for dinners and relaxing and the view from the top deck was amazing for a cocktail and a “cheers” at sunset with views of the water. Everything was clean and supplies were plentiful. We loved how close the Marina was and would definitely stay here again. It was cozy and inviting. 🙏

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.
