About this house rental

Tommy's Zen Garden and Cottage is the perfect getaway for a couple. I built this awesome cottage years ago and I love the space. I decided to share this wonderful relaxing space and I welcome you to my zen space where you can enjoy your privacy. I have been a private chef for over 15 years and I have lived in my 100year old house for more than 20years. I have 2 children, and grandson I am a native of Pensacola and I love jazz, wine, good food and meeting new people.
Here at the cottage we love to have fur babies so please bring your dogs, there is a fenced in yard. If you plan on leaving your puppies alone please bring a kennel. We have several parks within walking distance of the cottage. Come enjoy our outdoor shower and beautiful claw-foot soaking tub. Brand new outdoor cooking area under covered deck. We are minutes from historical downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. UBER and LYFT arrive within minutes.
Pensacola has a wonderful variety of places to enjoy live music and the best food on the Gulf Coast.check in 2.00 check out 12.00 thanks

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.

I enjoyed my stay here. Tommy and Jennifer were absolutely wonderful and accommodating. I spent every night in the hot tub and I took my dog to the dog park nearby. I was at peace here and am grateful for the time I had.

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!

Stayed for two weeks! This property provides everything needed for a fun trip…even fur babies if you choose. the outdoor shower was great daily when we came back from beach, close to airport, beaches, and food! Tommy was quick to answer any questions. Great little place and affordable for a nice getaway!

My husband and I stayed at Tommy’s cottage for our 6th wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Tommy and his animals and it felt like we’d known him a lifetime. Such a personable guy and and an AMAZING chef. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you’d need. Pensacola Beach is a quick and easy drive and the cottage is in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

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!

Perfect location for toodling around/beach access. The garden is exceptionally beautiful and the deck/gazebo area is a perfect place to nap during a cloudy/windy/thundery kind of day 😊.

We loved our stay at Tommy's Zen Yard and Cottage! It's the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. Our pups felt right at home, and the garden was so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed exploring all the amazing plants and charming details. Tommy and Jennifer were gracious hosts and made sure we had everything we needed, while giving us our privacy as well. The location is perfect for a short drive to the beaches or Downtown Pensacola. There are many great restaurants in the area, and there is a Publix right around the corner. We hope to stay here again soon!

I went to Pensacola by myself to recharge, rest, and explore. The Zen Garden & Cottage was the perfect place for this! I felt safe, relaxed, and connected there. Jennifer greeted me on arrival, showing me the way and introducing me to their pets in the garden. The cottage was perfect for one person. Tommy & Jennifer have furnished it fully. Loads of coffee, towels, and extra pillows & blankets. I enjoyed the outdoor shower and it felt very private. Most of the time I was the only person in the garden. But i did see the owner every day and he was responsive to anything I needed and offered thoughtful suggestions about the area when asked. The new outdoor kitchen is lovely in the evenings to grill up dinner, with lots of moving air from fans to stay cool. The East Hill neighborhood was fun to explore by bicycle. Still mostly original small houses with gardens, spoted with green space blocks, and bordered by some really old, large beautiful homes with giant live oaks. This was my first trip to the beach that I didn't stay at the beach. And I am so glad I didn't! Pensacola is a lovely city, with so much more than beautiful white sand and lovely blue/green water. The beach is close by to easily spend time there. And there are many places that allow you to just park and walk onto the beach w/o any more walking than you would do at a beachfront hotel. The Zen garden is so peaceful & quite beautiful. I appreciate having had the opportunity to enjoy it!

This was one of the best vacations I have ever been on, in large part because of this cozy cabin. Tommy and Jennifer were such gracious hosts and always offered sound advice on anything from restaurants to beaches. We definitely plan on returning as soon as we can!

This was a lovely cozy getaway! We didn't realize that it was in the backyard of the hosts' home and it would have been nice if this were advertised in the description of the property. That being said, Tommy and Jennifer were incredibly helpful and welcoming. We had everything we needed and the cottage was in walking distance to a ton of great eats! We enjoyed our stay so much!

My husband and I really enjoyed staying here in this faerie cottage. It's not just a little getaway, it is a whole experience and the ambiance and atmosphere is so calming. We loved every second of being here. The owners are great people who put a lot of work into the feel of this place and we were blessed to stay there. We plan on going back for a few more anniversary vacations.

We planned this vacation without knowing anything about Pensacola. We didn’t know the East Hill Community at all. Tom and Jennifer made us feel like family along with our little dog Sadie. They were even nice enough to let her out of the guest house while we were at the beach. Getting to Pensacola Beach from their house is so easy and accessible. The guest house is absolutely (what the Dr. ordered) for a getaway with your spouse. And the garden surrounding the house is amazing. The shower outside is perfect for washing the beach day off. If Tom was scored on a 1 to 10 scale for the place and his hosting abilities I would rate him a 12. I encourage anyone who wants to getaway without breaking the bank, to book this location. The only thing I’m disappointed in is that I didn’t book a fourth night!!!!! We didn’t want to leave!!!

Property was just as described. Garden was beautiful and the little unit had everything I needed. They even provided coffee and paper towels - things I usually need to bring on my own. They were very helpful with suggesting restaurants and were also very sweet to my dog. It was a great central location to everything. There's a little off-leash dog beach down the street and wonderful restaurants near by. I would love to stay again!

We enjoyed our two night stay immensely. After three weeks visiting up and down Florida, I’d say Pensacola has the prettiest beaches and our favorite restaurants. Tommy’s zen garden and southern hospitality was much appreciated. Tommy and Jennifer were very welcoming to us and our dog, Enzo. The cottage was comfy and we especially loved the outside shower. Thank you!
