About the host
Hosted by Tommy Bodkins
Tommy was a personal chef for a private family for many decades, and his artistic soul shines through every corner of this home. When he bought this historic house, he poured years of passion into creating something truly magical—a reflection of his deep love for music, art, and cooking. Every colorful tile, every piece of musical art, every thoughtful detail speaks to a life well-lived and generously shared.
Over the years, Tommy has personally greeted and hosted over 450 guests, earning and maintaining his Superhost status through genuine warmth and impeccable hospitality.
He and his wife Jennifer spent years here crafting this sanctuary before setting off on their European adventure, where they're no doubt sampling extraordinary food and soaking in centuries of history.
The warmth and creativity they infused into this space remains, waiting to welcome you.

What makes this property unique
THIS IS WHERE YOUR GROUP GETS TO BREATHE.
Most vacation rentals give you one space and
everyone piles in. The Garden Gate Eclectic Estate
gives your group something rarer: room to actually
spread out, and places to come back together.
TWO HOMES. ONE LEGENDARY GARDEN.
The East Hill Jazz House sleeps your crowd in
style with a king poster bed, twin room, full kitchen,
and a covered porch with its own grill.
Tommy's Zen Cottage tucks away at the back of the garden
with a queen loft, a clawfoot soaking tub, its own
covered porch, daybed, and dedicated grill.
Two homes. Two vibes. One unforgettable property.
THE GARDEN IS THE THIRD ROOM.
Between the two homes lives something guests call
"therapeutic" and "like a retreat somewhere far
away."
Hot tub under the stars. Outdoor tropical
shower. Winding paths through lush tropical
plantings. Frogs, butterflies, lizards, squirrels.
Always something blooming. This isn't a backyard,
it's the heart of the whole experience.
PRIVACY WITHIN TOGETHERNESS.
The Jazz House has its own entrance. The Cottage
has its own entrance.
Everyone has their own space to retreat to,
and the garden is where you all come back together.
This is what a real family gathering feels like.
