A true gem. This was such a wonderful stay. Clean, functional, and had wonderful attention to detail. I’m a sucker for aesthetics and this host does a lovely job of creating a relaxing and calm vibe to ensure an enjoyable stay. It is in a great location as well. I truly loved everything about it. I hope to stay again sometime soon. 10/10 for me!
Me and my wife had a great stay. The property was very close to Downtown Arroyo Grande, very close to SLO and Venice Beach. Hosts showed great hospitality. Unit itself was clean and great amount of living space. 10/10. Thank you Humming Bird/Kellie!
The place was adorable and immaculate. It was raining while we were there, so we didn’t get to enjoy the back patio that looks perfect for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We will be back to enjoy at a future time for sure!
Cozy, quiet, clean- perfect for what we needed on our short stay. Host had great communication, gave easy to follow instructions and property was exactly as described in the listing. Would definitely stay again!
This was a wonderful, super-clean, well-organized little place. All the communication and information about the place and the check-in was super clear. It's very close to the cute little town of Arroyo Grande for food options. We had a great stay and would recommend it! For people like me who love knowing details of the beds at places, the bed is super soft - if you like firm beds it's the polar opposite. The fold out couch is easy to set up but very utilitarian in its bed-like qualities (as pullouts always are). Sensitive sleepers will definitely find it challenging.
Such a perfect private getaway for me and my dog Great neighborhood, great location. Close to the cute little town of Arroyo Grande. Nice drive to Morro Bay saw 30-40 otters all rolling around cracking clams and spinning in kelp. My dog loved running on Avila Beach. Lunch at Fat Cat Cafe. Enjoyed my stray so much at the Hummingbird Cottage. Owners are so attentive and helpful . I will definitely come here again. 5 star
My family and I were in town for a quick weekend trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Cottage. The property was easy to access, clean, and incredibly cozy. We will definitely look to stay here again should we be back in the area!
Beautiful home, clean and gorgeous! We had a fantastic experience at this property! The home was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the bed was super comfortable. We loved the outdoor space—it was perfect for relaxing after a walk/hike. Kelly was very friendly, responsive, and made check-in a breeze. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and idyllic getaway!
The cottage was a great spot for me and was exactly what I was expecting, based on the listing and photos. The location is quiet, out-of-the-way, but close to the Village of AG and SLO. The unit is well equipped, private and the outdoor area is a bonus. Host was communicative and responsive.
Stayed in this cottage for 10 days while visiting the SLO area. Perfect spot for two people! Super safe and nice neighborhood with excellent communication with Kelly. Thanks
This place is great. The owner has put in a lot of thought to the little details. Our family loves staying in this area and we plan to be back. Would highly recommend for single, couples or even small family. We had plenty for us and our two boys.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay in your adorable place. You are awesome hosts and anticipate everything that your guests may need or want. Very clean and inviting.
The Hummingbird Cottage is the perfect get away!
The cottage has everything needed for a comfortable vacation. Lovely patio to enjoy a glass of wine. Quiet neighborhood yet minutes f
We stayed here to attend our son’s CalPoly graduation. The location is great because it’s close to SLO but away from the crowds. We enjoyed the peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Host Kelly is also quick to respond and help if needed. The Hummingbird Cottage is lovely and clean, we'll definitely stay here again.
