The 1950s houses in my area often has a "breezeway", which was a covered porch between the garage and the house. Some people closed these in, but they didn't have central air, so they were cold as hell in the winter.
We have those in Miami in houses built in the 1960s too. You would have the front door which opened into the outdoor courtyard/breezeway with the house on one side and the garage on other. Over the years many have converted the garages into separate living spaces/guest areas which you have to go outside to reach. Here are 2 side by side Miami examples:
