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.
SHARED GARDEN SPACE: Please note that Tommy's Zen Garden and the East Hill Jazz House are two separate listings on the same property, each with its own private entrance and secure key code.
The Zen Garden occupies the middle of the property and includes a shared garden and hot tub available to guests of both listings. The Cottage has its own private back porch, outdoor seating, and grill.
Guests are asked to be respectful and considerate of one another.
Please make sure a shared garden environment is the right fit for you before booking!
Please ask if you want to rent the entire property with both houses
We are not a clothing optional property:
We know you love nature and are a free spirit! We hate to even have to ask, but.... we do ask all guests to keep their clothes on while you are out in the garden or enjoying the hot tub! We provide beach towels and 2 robes for you to borrow while you are here.
