The 'Hummingbird Cottage (dubbed by our guests) is a Storybook Property above the Heart of Downtown Ventura. Detached Guest house with private bath, den and kitchenette on property with owner's main house. Treehouse is also a separate structure and sleeps one.

Private lush flower garden with full mountain views and a peek-a-boo of the ocean with the Channel Islands on clear days, deer grazing at Grant park at sunrise on the hill. Just steps to Historic Main street and it's trendy shops and restaurants, night clubs and galleries to fresh produce at Farmer's market on Saturday mornings. Take the beach cruisers down miles of boardwalk past Surfer's Point, the Fairgrounds, several campgrounds, the longest pier in California to the Harbor and beyond. Hiking, Surfing, and nightlife are all walking distance. Ojai and Santa Barbara are quick drives away. The rooms are very small but charming, the accommodations are for people who want to explore what the area has to offer. Fire Pit, Fountain, Barbecue, Porch Swing, it is romantic and subtle for the perfect get-away. So close to what you wanna see but feels like the perfect jungle Hide-Away.

The location of this adorable property was within a short walk from many restaurants and shops on Main Street, a street without cars. We enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds feed on the bushes outside our window.

We rented the Hummingbird Cottage for our family to stay at during our wedding , and had our wedding cake in the beautiful backyard area! Our experience here was absolutely wonderful- the host was so accommodating, check in easy to navigate, house was very clean, and the outdoor area and lower yard were stunning!! Tons of plants and a neat tree house to explore- I especially enjoyed watching the birds bathe in a fountain through the cottage window while getting my wedding make up done…Would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for the magical experience : )

Really enjoyed staying in Hummingbird Cottage. The property is quirky and might not be for everyone, so read the accurate description carefully when booking. We were looking for something a bit different so it really suited us. It was great to wake up to birdsong. The property is up the hill from the town so you need to be reasonably mobile if walking between the two, which we found simpler than driving.

Hummingbird cottage is a delightful getaway with a peekaboo view of the sea on a clear day. There is a beautiful garden to explore which is teaming with birds. Although it is a small house, it has everything. Plus it’s a 5 minute drive or a 12 mins to walk to downtown Ventura

Lovely stay!

Beautiful little get away cottage with easy walks to downtown main street and the beach. Cozy with a quiet, pretty backyard, we did not use the fire pit but it was nice to see it there for next time! The tree house bedroom room is tiny but fun. Everything very clean and pleasant.

Perfect place for an Enchanting Get Away

Beautiful location! Very close to the beach and downtown. I had visited Ventura before, but the host recommended some great eats and entertainment around the area. I would recommend this cottage to anybody wanting a break from the outside world with their own little slice of paradise. :)

We had a wonderful time at the Hummingbird Cottage. Although small, the quaint and adorable lodging had all of the amenities that you need for an overnight stay or a whole week!

This the mosr adorable little cottage. It's small, but very comfortable and it has everything you need. Down some steps there is a nice seating area eith a fire pit. We sat and watched the sunset and just relaxed with greenery all around. The owner lives in the front house, and she is really nice and ready to help with anything you might need. My husband's back was acting up, and Sandra gave him some ice packs. We stayed here last November, and now we are already planning a return stay. 10 stars all around.

The cutest most comfortable cottage!

I absolutely loved this property and all it's unique decor. I had a small dog with me. The back yard was perfectly fenced to keep her in. The host was so sweet and left snacks and drinks in my fridge when I arrived she was easy to communicate with and worked with my needs. I will stay here any chance I get to come to Ventura.

My husband and I had the most amazing stay! The cottage was so lovely. We loved all the beautiful touches, including the treats! We really enjoyed sitting outside with our morning coffee in the quaint settings while breathing in the ocean air. Everything was clean and cozy, including the comfy bed and hot shower. The treehouse was such a serene place to meditate, too! It was also nice to have the kitchenette. Thanks, Sandra, you couldn't have been lovelier!

Small house with very nice gardens

The cottage was in a nice location, easy walking distance to Ventura downtown. The rooms were small but ok for a solo traveler like me or a couple. The gardens around the cottage were very nice and I felt like it was a very pleasant experience.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra

Host profile image
I am a business owner, a mom and a former art director in the film industry. I love Ventura and all it has to offer in the way of daytime adventure and nature, nightlife and art. Forbes magazine lists Ventura as one of the top four places to live in the U.S.! I agree. I have been surprised and pleased with the lovely guests we have had to enjoy the property and all Ventura has to offer..

Why they chose this property

Just one hour North of Hollywood, one half hour South of Santa Barbara, and twenty minutes West of Ojai, we have the best of the ocean, the city and the mountains right here and a quick hop away. Pets are also welcome in the cottage. Securely fenced and ready to roam, the large garden and wild lower yard are, as recent guests described it, 'Dog Heaven'.

What makes this property unique

The treehouse is tiny and enchanting. Completely wired, WIFI friendly and heated, it is perfect for naps for adults or children to sleep in. Best view on the property of the green, untouched mountains to our North. Some guests have had to draw straws to determine who gets the treehouse!
