Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Step through the gate. The photos don't capture this;tropical palms overhead, butterflies everywhere, string lights waiting for evening. Your cypress cottage with treehouse style loft. That 100-year-old clawfoot tub. The outdoor shower everyone raves about. Hot tub under stars. Hammock between palms. Covered deck with grill. Fenced yard for your pup. Walk to coffee, drive 15 minutes to white beaches. But you'll want to stay right here.Our guests say it best: magical, restorative, transformative.

The space
Your private 350sf cypress retreat opens to a lush tropical garden that steals hearts—guests say photos don't capture the magic.
Inside: cozy treehouse-style loft with queen bed, queen sleeper below.
The queen size bed is up in the loft which is an easy access with a built in ladder. Please be sure you are comfortable with stepping up the ladder.
There is also a sofa sleeper downstairs in the main room and we include the linens for it, if you would rather sleep there.
100-year-old clawfoot tub for wine-and-candle soaks.
The private outdoor shower? Life-changing according to reviews.
Outside: hot tub under string lights, hammock in the garden, covered deck with full cooking setup (gas cooktop, grills, air fryer, 3 ice machines).
Fully fenced dog friendly paradise.
Thoughtful touches everywhere: robes, quality coffee, endless hot water. Walk to coffee shops, 15 min to Gulf beaches. This is what 450 five-star reviews look like.

I'm obsessed with: Live music; beaches; and my horse Rebel
Meeting new people, sharing the rich culture and charm of Southern Gulf Coast is a passion for me! I love hosting & connecting with guests from all walks of life, ensuring they feel right at home while respecting their privacy. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a break from the demands of daily life--a chance to step back, unwind, and embrace the present moment. It is in here in the gulf coast experiences where True Southern Vibes live.
