The Master suite is approximately 600 sq. ft. and has a king size bed, 17 ft. vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, central A/C, wrap around bar with seating, tiled floors, CD/DVD player, Wireless Internet, Ipod docking Station, cable TV with Premium Channels, Free On Demand, DMX music system.

The Master suite's over-sized bath (10x16) features a 9 ft. vanity with double sinks over which hang Baroque framed mirrors, separate lighted make-up vanity, separate water closet, spacious clear glass shower, and best of all...
In addition to the double sinks, the Master Suite offers a separate lighted make-up vanity.
... a huge Jacuzzi tub in the privacy of your own room. Above the tub is a large skylight and on each side of the tub, there is an antique crystal grape cluster wall sconce that creates the perfect atmosphere and romantic lighting.
Beyond the pass-through that separates the living area from the sleeping area, is a comfy queen size bed with Jamaican wicker nightstands on either side. The Garden Suite has A/C, Wireless Internet, cable TV, a wet bar with fridge, coffee maker, micro-wave, utensils, plates and other necessary items.
The Garden suite, at 350 sq. ft., is romantic and charming. As you enter the suite through Fench doors, you are greeted by an inviting daybed in the living area that is covered with comfy, overstuffed pillows over which a cranberry tulle netting is suspended creating a romantic, tropical ambience. Perfect for an afternoon nap!
The bedroom opens into an 8 x 10 tangerine bath that is tiled from floor to ceiling and utilizes a unique design that has a open shower with bench, 9 ft vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting, an 18 sq. ft. skylight, separate water closet, glass block inserts, vanity area and, of course, a large Jacuzzi tub for two.
As you sit on the deck enjoying your morning coffee surrounded by lush tropical gardens that look out to a 15 acre indigenous park and wildlife reserve, often you can see an array of native and migrating birds from hummingbirds to eagles and falcons. Steve's passion for gardening is apparent with his unique collection of orchids, air plants, bromeliads, cactus and other succulents. Key West Aloe is abundent here and is prized for it's medicinal properties. Since aloe propigates and travels so nicely Steve loves to offer our guests a Key West aloe plant to take home as a living memory of their stay.
Both suites open out through French doors to a private 700 sq. ft. deck where you will find lounge chairs for sunning and outdoor tables and chairs for alfresco dining. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with exotic plant and coral rock gardens around a breezy little, vine covered gazebo. For your convenience there is complimentary off street parking, wireless internet and 2 sets of bicycles on the property.
The pathway along Rest Beach is paralled by the East Coast Greenway Bike Trail, which connects Maine to Key West, FL and ends 1 block from Atlantis House and is busy daily with rollerbladers, runners and bikers.
Steve's Bromeliad Garden adds a burst of color year round.
One block from Atlantis House is the Key West Marine Park, Higgs Beach and the East Martello which houses the Key West Garden Club. Higgs Beach is great for Volleyball, basking in the sun and having a bite to eat at Salute, one of the only restaurants on the Beach in Key West. Higgs Beach also has public Tennis Courts.
Rest Beach, only steps away from Atlantis House is seen here at low tide with the White Street Fishing Pier.

We stayed here on our very first trip to Key West and Meeting of the Minds in November of 2011. Steve and Kayla were simply amazing hosts. They welcomed us with open arms and amazing Key Lime pie! They also provided us with everything we needed making our stay so memorable. We look forward to getting back to the Atantis House someday so that we can once again enjoy a piece of paradise.

Atlantis House was perfect for us in every way, quiet, peaceful, no elevators or crowds to deal with. The outside area was our haven, to read the paper and drink coffee in the morning and wind down and relax at the end of the evening. Great access to everything, walking for exercise there were several routes to take, we rode the bikes everywhere, they were very comfortable and we always found a place to park. We enjoyed the up front and personal views on the bikes, we found so many places by just winding our way through different streets, we always found our way back to Atlantis House. Kayla and Steve are great host, they are very knowledgeable and were so helpful with all of our questions (we had many). We had great food and drinks everywhere we went, but the best key lime pie and cafe con leche was at Atlantis House, Kayla it was truly the best we had. We slept like babies in the oh so comfortable bed and sheets. We hope to visit Key West and Atlantis House again. Thanks for a memorable vacation. Mark and Georgia Kirkpatrick, Charlotte, NC

Our second visit was even better than our first. Upon arrival we were welcomed by Cap't Steve and Kayla as long-time friends. Our hosts fully explained the features of the amazing Master Suite and then answered all of our questions about the Keys. Cap't Steve also took us fishing and then cooked our catch for lunch the next day - delicious!!! We're already planning our next trip to the Keys and, of course, Atlantis House.

My stay at the Atlantis House was exceptional, Steve & Kayla were very hospitable and helped make the stay more enjoyable. The room was amazing and the service exceeded my expectations!

October 25, 2011
We only stayed 2 nights and only had a sunset dinner cruise planned while we were in Key West. Kayla was able to help us fill in our time with what we wanted out of the trip and made it the most restful vacation we have ever had. We had the garden suite of which we found both beds to be very comfortable. We definitely think we need to travel there again and stay longer next time. It is truly paradise!!! Dean & Lorie
