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

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 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.

An Absolute Perfect Retreat

Our stay at this rental property was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of pure relaxation and tranquility. The property itself is incredibly comfortable, offering everything we could possibly need for a stress-free getaway. It truly felt like a home away from home, meticulously equipped with all the essentials and thoughtful touches that made our stay so enjoyable.The peace and quiet of the location were a huge highlight. We loved waking up to the gentle sounds of the neighborhood, and enjoyed evenings free from any disturbances. This beautiful neighborhood exudes charm, with lovely surroundings that invited leisurely strolls.Despite its serene setting, the property boasts an ideal location with incredibly easy access to everything we wanted to explore. Downtown was just a short, convenient trip away, offering a vibrant array of shops and entertainment. We also appreciated the quick drive to various stores and a wonderful selection of restaurants, catering to every craving. And, of course, the stunning beaches were easily accessible, allowing us to soak up the sun and enjoy the coastal beauty whenever we pleased.We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a truly relaxing, quiet, and comfortable escape in a beautiful setting with unparalleled convenience. We can't wait to return!

Wonderful stay at the Hummingbird Cottage

We had a fantastic stay at Hummingbird Cottage! The home was very clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful — she answered all our questions promptly and even let us know about a local boil water notice (which thankfully didn’t affect the cottage).The location was ideal — close to downtown Arroyo Grande and convenient to shops and restaurants. Everything went smoothly, and we experienced no issues during our stay. Bonus: it’s pet-friendly, so we’re already looking forward to returning with our dog next time. Highly recommended!

Great find close to Arroyo Grande Village

My husband and I had a great stay (with our dog) at this well decorated, well equipped one-bedroom in a lovely neighborhood in Arroyo Grande. Full kitchen, comfortable living room, and a nice small private patio. Arroyo Grande Village is really cute with some nice shops, restaurants and coffee places and the village has a nice slow pace. We’ll be back - thanks!
