What a perfect and lovely gem! This was my first trip to Nashville and I brought my parents and sweet pup with me. I was in need of a place that was pet friendly with easy access to all the Nashville spots, but also allowed for privacy and respite for some much needed down time. The funky ‘ol beach house was PERFECT and Karen could not have been more pleasant!!! Karen’s place is in a fantastic location and so beautifully kept. We caught a show at the Ryman one night (about 2.5 miles and a 15 min drive away) and it could not have been easier to get to and from. We also saw an amazing show at 3rd and Lindsley which is an awesome out of the way venue which is a nice break from honky tonk highway.
The entire front and back yards are fenced in which was especially important for me in that it allowed my pup to explore new scents without me worrying she might follow her nose and wander off. The front porch and yard are darling, perfect for sipping morning coffee or night cap. We briefly met a neighbor right next door on our way out and he could not have been nicer. We loved the koi pond with waterfall fixture in the backyard...it was so calming and peaceful and lovely to admire!! We enjoyed some of the local eateries within walking distance to Karen’s house (Five Daughters for amazing doughnuts, MAFIAoZA’s for delicious Italian with very generous portions, Burger Up for good selection of burgers and 12 South Taproom and grill for quick and yummy American bar food).
From the first conversation with Karen, throughout checkout, she was super responsive, accommodating and generous. There isn’t a thing we were missing and we just loved that we felt like it was home away from home. I was also very touched by the added sweet touches Karen made for my pup, making sure there was a water and food bowl available.
This was a first class experience and I highly recommend Karen’s funky ‘ol beach house!! You will not be disappointed and we will gladly return in the future!!!
