      This recipe has been an incredible hit.

      Since I've never been much of a fan of plain old blueberry anything (fresh blueberries is another story) I decided to dress up our ordinary fresh baked blueberry bread by replacing one item and adding a couple of new ones to the batter. Try it... you will absolutely love it!

      First... replace water called for in recipe with orange juice.

      Then... add the following add'l ingredients to already mixed batter:
      3/4 cup drained pineapple
      1 cup shredded coconut
      2 large spoonfuls of sour cream
      3 T. oil

      Mix all ingredients together and spread into greased pan. Bake approx. 50 minutes @ 350 F. or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

      "This is so incredibly good there won't be any leftovers... believe me!"

    Photo Album

    The Writer's King is located at the end of our second floor balcony located directly over the Lagoon where you can listen to our gentle waterfall on cool evenings. Featuring a King size bed with Tiffany reading lamps, the Writers' King has a private bath, phone, cable and lots of A/C. One will most certainly be able to enjoy their vacation at our centrally located Garden House. And do not forget you can have your Continental Breakfast Lagoon side or sitting on your balcony. Isn't it nice to know you have options! Note: This room is located on the second floor.Decorated in a comfortable island style... the Hibiscus Room is located adjacent to our heated lagoon style pool, and houses a queen size bed, and private bath. The theme is truly Key West with its white wicker furnishings and palm comforter. French doors open to a semi-private porch shared by the Bougainvilla Room next door. The floors are colored in Mexican tiles, and the soft green walls emit a feeling of coziness throughout.
    With its rich wood flooring, triple windows, wood and cane furnishings, double night stands, metal sculpted palm lamps with intricate shell shades, and writer's desk this room is spacious and "oh so" comfortable. Fern green tiles line the more than adequate size bath, with dual shower heads, pedestal sink and commode. The largest of our rooms... the West Indies King has full use of the front porch after hours where one can enjoy the evening breeze, wine in hand, and the lush tropical landscape - cascading hibiscus provide privacy from passer's by and the night blooming jasmine intoxicates the mind.One of our newest rooms... Island Dreams is decorated in rich wood and cane furnishings, with photos of exotic tropical palms and low lighting of wood and pineapple based lamps. An intimate fern green tile covers the bathroom walls which house a single head shower and commode. The in-room pedestal sink and full length mirror make preparing for a night on the town simple and effective. You enter this room from a side porch entrance, which meanders along a tropical pathway filled with the scent of jasmine.
    This room is decorated in a tropical motif, with a palm matelassé and herb-green pinstriped bed skirt. There are wood furnishings throughout, along with nautical prints and knick-knacks. A cane chair is provided for reading and the oversized bench provides for additional seating. Double doors open onto our second story landing where you are only steps away from a beautifully landscaped upper deck. Note: This room is located on the second floor.The bougainvillea room is located just steps from our heated pool and adjacent to the hibiscus room. Both share a large semi-private deck which has access to both the front yard and the pool area, with the bougainvillea room being closest to the pool. This setup works out perfect for couples traveling together but still wanting their privacy. The large deck is great for socializing or lounging around all afternoon. In the evening it's great to take a quick dip in the pool and then join your friends for cocktails and conversation.
    The Double Delight is a large room consisting of two double beds, an in-room vanity and separate private bath, with shower and commode. Set up much like your typical hotel room with matching bedspreads, wall mounted reading lamps and centered nightstand this room provides the perfect setup for couples, friends or family members traveling together. In addition to the two full size beds are a triple dresser, full length mirror, color television, A/C unit, luggage rack and miniature refrigerator. Directly across from this room is our upper sundeck which provides a great lounging area to read and/or nap for those individuals not looking to sunbathe. The lushly landscaped area provides ample shading to enjoy your continental breakfast or late afternoon libation. The Royal Poinciana in full bloom, in early May, is a sight to behold, and don't miss the adorable buds of the surrounding miniature roses that line the outer edge of the deck. Note: This room is located on the second floor....the West Indies King has full use of the front porch after hours where one can enjoy the evening breeze, wine in hand, and the lush tropical landscape - cascading hibiscus provide privacy from passer's by and the night blooming jasmine intoxicates the mind.
    Garden House is located 2 blocks off Duval Street, and is close enough to all attractions that you can crawl home after a night on the town. 10 rooms, 10 private baths, heated lagoon-style pool, FREE Beer & Wine Happy Hour & FREE Continental Breakfast.
    This lovely room, with its private patio, gives you more of the already abundant privacy at The Garden House. With a comfortable queen bed and private bath (plus its location of just a few steps from our lagoon), you will find yourself feeling timeless. Many guests choose to stay in this room so they can enjoy their Continental Breakfast in the privacy of its shaded patio. Remember if you wish to book the Royal Poinciana you should book as early as possible... since it is one of our most requested rooms!Enjoy a relaxing day on our upper sundeck.
