Just wanted to let you know how pleased my husband and I were with our stay at Hummingbird Cottage. We were in HB to visit our son, and we enjoyed staying in a home so much more than staying in a hotel. The house is charming, and the photos accurately show the living areas, but the reality is even better. There are so many gathering spaces, from the family room to the spacious kitchen, to the relaxing outdoor areas. We loved having our son come over for dinner, or to simply relax and have a glass of wine on the patio. I loved the upstairs bedroom with the sun shining in--there were so many windows on almost all sides. The location is convenient to everything. We love spending time on Mainstreet, and walking the beach, and both are nearby. This was our first experience at renting a home through an online website, and it turned out to be just perfect. It was pleasure to deal with Michelle, the owner. Hummingbird Cottage was just what we were looking for.

Just wanted to give a little update to all who read our comments and are excited about a potential vacation to Huntington Beach... The city has been undergoing a "face lift" with new businesses and buildings going up... lots more shopping and great new restaurants... Every Tuesday evening, all of Main Street becomes a Farmer's Market and Street Fair with Live Music, crafts for the kids and vendors selling clothing, jewlery, crafts, food and lots of neat things! Hummingbird Cottage was just painted on the outside and is sparkling and ready for our Holiday Travelers. If you are interested in booking your reservations, please try calling my cell number first (949) 973-0656, as I am often out of email range. Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season 2010! With Waves of Radiant Love and Oceans of Deep Peace, ~Michelle

Your beautiful cottage was the perfect place to rejuvenate, inspire and renew my spirit. The soft morning light; the amazing breeze flowing throughout the house; the birds and sweet blossoms just outside the door: it was perfect. And the endless yoga and meditation on the beach was icing on the cake, making it an experience I'll never forget. Thank you for the healing energy of Hummingbird Cottage. It was a gift to stay there.

Recently, I visited a close friend of mine who lives in the Huntington Beach area. After reviewing VRBO, I chose to stay at the Hummingbird Cottage. The Hummingbird Cottage is a very unique and enchanting home. From the beautiful gardens out front with the fountain and the cherubs to greet you at the door, to the lovely mural when you walk inside, to the warm and cozy kitchen and living room area (each with its own rustic stone fireplace), to the very large master suite upstairs with lovely stained glass windows and an extremely comfortable bed (and another fireplace!), it was everything I expected and more! Additionally, the patio out in back was perfect for enjoying a lazy afternoon reading a book or perhaps having a friendly dart game or two. There is also a gas grill on the patio for those cool evening bbq's. The neighborhood is very quiet, and with the pier and downtown only a few blocks away, Hummingbird Cottage is the perfect vacation spot for those seeking a place to unwind, relax and rejuvenate the spirit. I had a truly memorable experience staying at the Hummingbird Cottage, and I am sure you will too.

What a wonderful place to visit! My husband and I felt very much at home at Hummingbird Cottage. You've thought of everything to make staying there a wonderful and relaxing experience. The cottage is clean and much nicer than the photos portray. The bed is awesome -- a great sleeper! We enjoyed our daily walks to the pier. The neighborhoods are charming and safe. We loved the location. It was convenient to everything we wanted to do from theme parks, beaches, presidential libraries, upscale shopping and A's baseball to pure relaxtion. We would love to go back. Thanks for everything! Lisa G
