The alluring charm of the Garden Suite vacation rental comes from its one-of-a-kind architectural design, the beautiful wood it is built with, and its authentic Key West pool garden setting. A creation of a Key West builder from the 1970’s there are still a couple of carpenters on the island who worked on this unique project.
The Garden Suite encompasses the entire first floor of Amanda’s Dream Suites and offers over 1200 square feet of living space. The most dramatic feature is the very large great-room with soaring cathedral ceilings. Situated on the far left side of the building as you face it, French doors open off the living room into the garden and onto the porch.
A dining table is placed towards the front entrance of the great room with the entrance to the kitchen close by. A breakfast bar also joins the two rooms and gives the cook a full view of the great room as well as the garden area. The builder designed the first floor so that nearly every room has its own French doors that open to the expansive covered front porch and a view of the garden.
The bedrooms for the garden suite are the next rooms in line. All but one of the three bedrooms has French doors that lead to the porch. The master bedroom has a king size bed, the 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed. The 3rd bedroom (sometimes referred to as ½ bedroom or the ‘sleeping porch’), was the original glassed in solarium. It is entered through a door adjoining the second bedroom and offers 2 twin size beds. This is ideal for children that need to sleep close by, but is fine for adults as well.
The Garden Suite provides 2 bathrooms, a closed in outdoor shower, and a washer dryer.
