     A bright & airy second floor room, in the bay portion of our Victorian home, the Sun Room's windows create a panoramic view into the trees.  French doors open to a private sun deck overlooking the pool & garden.  The private bath's step-in glass mosaic shower completes the room.  A great retreat to sunbathe in the day & stargaze through the night!

     The Treetop Suite is nestled away on the third floor and aptly named for its view out across the neighborhood treetops. The splendor of the room is the exposed beam, cathedral, Dade County Pine ceiling highlighting the distinct gabled rooflines.  The room features a queen bed in one alcove and a large soaking tub open to the room in another with a private bath & shower.  A private, romantic hideaway - above it all!
