Love the Hummingbird House

Erich has a great property - plenty of space to relax both inside and outside by the pool. We had a small gathering on the patio area and all the guests were impressed with the property. This was our second time staying at the property and will definitely keep it in mind for future bookings.

Unique perfection

We got in from a late flight and Eric greeted us with a smile and invitation for an evening dip in the pool which is exactly what the kids needed after a long travel day. We awoke to a beautiful garden where we found birds, fruits, flowers and unique decor that pique our interest around every corner. My 15yr old was unhappy that we only stayed one night. No a/c but was okay with fans and windows open. Be prepared to wake early by noises from the birds.

Very convenient to airport and beautiful

We needed a place to stay near the airport for our first and this was perfect. Beautiful place. And all the bedrooms were comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen, which was great. 👍

Hummingbird hill

The host was so flexible with check in and check out times, perfect with the unpredictability of airport delays. The house is large and accommodating. The pool was cool and refreshing after a day of traveling!
