Tommy's Zen Garden and Cottage, a wonderful peaceful retreat!

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

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.

A peaceful retreat indeed.
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.

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!

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!

Everything and more!
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!

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!
