Tropical Zen Garden & Cottage Oasis Bliss!

Step through the garden gate and feel the world fall away. A winding path through tropical palms, butterflies between blooming vines, nature's sounds replacing city noise. Guests say "the photos don't do it justice"—they arrive stressed and leave restored. One wrote poetry about it. Another returns every year (X6!). The garden steals hearts, but it's the complete experience that makes people say "this is what Airbnb should be." The outdoor shower under jasmine. The century-old clawfoot tub. Waking in the treehouse loft. This isn't just accommodation; it's transformation.

Your handcrafted native cypress cottage offers a cozy loft with full bed (guests love the treehouse feeling) and queen fold-out below. The legendary 100-year-old clawfoot tub is perfect for evening soaks. The outdoor shower? Rated #1 in hundreds of reviews—"life-changing," "therapeutic," "better than home." Hot water, great pressure, surrounded by nature. Your covered deck features gas cooktop, grills, air fryer, three ice machines. Hot tub under stars. Hammock for reading. Tankless water heater means endless hot showers. Fully fenced paradise for pets. AC, WiFi, thoughtful touches everywhere.

In historic East Hill's tree-lined streets, you're perfectly positioned: walk to coffee shops and restaurants, 10 minutes to downtown Pensacola, 15 to white-sand beaches. But guests discover the best part is coming "home"—grilling on your deck, reading in the hammock, showering outdoors, soaking in the hot tub. Eight years and 450+ five-star reviews tell the story: people return annually, bring friends, say it felt like a retreat not a rental. Managed by trusted Superhost Cathy. Your zen sanctuary awaits. Come for the beach, leave restored.

Winter Retreat

I had a great 2 month getaway in the cozy cottage. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. The recommendations, company, music and cooking were wonderful, and the neighborhood has many places to go on foot if you like to walk. My dog had a good time, too.

Lush Garden Hideaway!!

We loved our extended visit at Tommy’s Zen Garden & Cottage! You would never imagine you were minutes/blocks away from great restaurants, beaches and attractions. Tommy and Jennifer are exceptional hosts, happy to guide you to the best of what Pensacola has to offer and to ensure you have all that you need for a perfect stay- Tommy’s Shrimp Ettouffe was a highlight of our visit! We were saddened to leave but look forward to returning!!

Cute backyard cottage, yet felt isolated in the woods!

Owner was very communicative. We enjoyed the cottage and it's location. It could probably sleep 4 with the pull out couch, but would be tight. We didn't utilize the cookware, but there was ample space to cook a meal and just "hang out" and enjoy the scenery. Although it was merely in the backyard, it felt like we were somewhat camping, and was great!

Slice of paradise

We loved our stay at Tommy’s zen garden! We were greeted upon arrival and introduced to the local wildlife (his pets lol) His place had everything we needed! Every morning we made coffee (everything was provided) and cooked breakfast outside in the outdoor kitchen. The house was clean and also had everything we needed. Outdoor showers are one of my fave things and this one didn’t disappoint! We would definitely recommend Tommy’s to friends and family and if ever in the area, we will be back!

I am usually the person to just get a hotel any place I travel, but me and my fiancé decided to give Tommy's Zen Garden cottage a shot. We thought the pictures online looked absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. Their backyard garden is absolutely beautiful and even better than what we saw in the pictures. We did not get to use much of the outdoor amenities because we were so go, go, go during our stay. The cottage inside was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Jen (Tommy's wife) made sure we had our dishes as soon as we checked in, and Tommy gave us amazing recommendations to do on our vacation and was very helpful through it all. 10/10 an absolute beautiful vacation spot.
