The master bedroom is just inside French doors that lead to a king-size bed and a separate bathroom, including a private outdoor shower that can be accessed via a side door off of the bathroom. The guest room features a comfortable queen size bed, and both rooms are located off the main dining area, along with a guest bathroom with a large soaker tub and shower combo.

The sliding glass doors open to the sundeck, complete with a table for six and lounging furniture, making it easy to enjoy indoor-outdoor living. The backyard is a true oasis, with lush Florida foliage and a large Florida almond tree, and Gumbo Limbo, which are native to Key West.
