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!

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

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.

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!

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.
