Gorgeous Gardens: Tropical Retreat in the Florida Keys
Large palm trees and layers of lush vegetation surround this home in Key West, giving the property the sense of a tropical oasis. To access their slice of paradise, the owners must first pass through a stone wall and wooden gate. Then they can enjoy a dip in the sunken swimming pool, look for rock walls or take a nap in the hammock.
