Tommy's Tropical Zen Garden & Cottage Oasis

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.
