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!

Everything about the cottage was perfect for us. Tommy was a pleasant and knowledgeable host. We’ll definitely return!

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!

It was a very comfortable place. Love that it was pet friendly. I would stay again.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect size for my daughter and me. Convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. The hosts are super hospitable and friendly. Will definitely try to stay here next time we go to Pensacola.

Excellent. The garden is magnificent and peaceful. A little oasis away from the noise of the world. Tom and his wife are superb hosts. The cottage is adorable. Can't wait to come back to Pensacola to stay again, hopefully longer this next time

Could not of ask for a better stay!

Great garden retreat for owner and pup! Hosts were extremely friendly and a pleasure to interact with!

We had such a sweet time here on our spring break. Very cute and clean, close to the beach, and conveniently located. Tommy was awesome and was very welcoming! We felt super safe while we were here (important for two girls) and we had such a great stay! Would definitely stay here again!

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!

Very cute set up. Enjoyed the outdoor cooking area and chatting with Tom & Jennifer around the fire pit. We enjoyed Chet too! Tom cooked a great meal for us the last night. Enjoyed our time there very 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.

Loved the garden, the art and the overall attention to thoughtful details.

The location is excellent and the cottage is very cozy! Great price too. We had a lovely stay!

This little Zen is a little slice of heaven! We absolutely loved the experience and everything about the cottage! Tom and Jen and Chet were over the top amazing people! We can’t wait to come back next year and bring our little girl. Thank you so much for the hospitality!

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!!!

We had a wonderful time. Tom was so helpful suggesting local restaurants and things to do. The property was super cute and the location was so convenient to downtown and the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful garden. Tiny house is super cute and the host was super nice. Absolutely amazing place

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!

What an amazing place to stay .... from the owners Tom & Jennifer to the beautiful grounds they have the most relaxing and comfortable place to rewind and enjoy your staw. Very cozy cottage with everthing you need, safe neighborhood , pet friendy , close to some of the best restaurants and beaches Pensacola has to offer Me & wife stayed here for 3 days and didn't want to leave ... we highly recommend this place and will be back

My fiancée and I absolutely loved our stay! Every aspect exceeded our expectations. Tommy was very welcoming and nice. The property was clean and comfortable. The amenities were great and the location to the beach and restaurants made it easy to travel around. There is honestly not one negative thing I can say about this place. We will DEFINITELY be coming back.

Owner helpful on info of things to do and places to eat. Babysat our puppy a lot with no complaints.

Exactly as described. Private retreat with spa-like amenities. Thank you, Tommy and Chet for your hospitality.
