2 Bedroom Cottage in East Hill, Pensacola

Step through the gate and the city stops.
Palms overhead. Winding mulch paths with places to sit tucked all through them. Butterflies, lizards, hummingbirds. A hammock, a fire pit, and a hot tub under string lights that earns its keep once the evenings turn cool. The garden is the reason more guests write home about this place than anything else, and it keeps its color well into the fall.
When Pensacola cools, the trip moves into the warm corners. Long soaks in a 100 year old clawfoot tub with a tankless heater, so the hot water never runs out. The hot tub at the end of the garden. The fire pit with a glass of wine and the bugs and toads chirping. Real heat inside for the crisp mornings. The outdoor shower is still here and still a favorite, and a January guest called it "fantastic and super hot," but on the coldest, windiest weeks the clawfoot tub and the hot tub are where you will want to be.
Inside is 350 square feet of native cypress, floor to ceiling, with a loft bed under the peak. It is small on purpose and built for two.
Guests keep saying the photos do not capture it. One wrote that she felt like she had teleported to a resort. Another put it more plainly: felt like home, but without all the work.
Fall here is quieter than summer. The white-sand beaches are about 20 minutes away and far calmer this time of year, the dog-walking weather is about as good as the Gulf Coast gets, and East Hill fills its evenings with small eateries and neighborhood venues within a short walk.
Please read the Guest Access and Other Things to Note sections before you book. The garden and hot tub are shared with the front house, the loft is reached by a steep ladder, and the bathroom is open behind a curtain. Most guests find all of it part of the charm, and it is worth knowing first.
