The booking experience was seamless and the property was spacious and more than accommodated our family. Would recommend this property to a small family looking to explore the central coast!
Enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and as advertised. Kelly, the property manager, did an excellent job communicating with us before and during the stay. They even had an assortment of travel supplies in case anything was forgotten. We brought a dog and it worked well.

We love hosting, especially our furry friends. Glad to hear you had a fun time
The Hummingbird Cottage was the perfect place to jump off into all of the activities that this area has to offer (wineries, farmer's markets, good shopping/restaurants.) The neighborhood was quiet, check-in was easy and the host provided thoughtful touches like water and a few snacks in the frig and some basic care items in the bathroom medicine cabinet.
This is a most charming cottage, perfect for the two of us in every way! A quiet, peaceful neighborhood where we could walk to town. A fully equipped kitchen and full sized frig. Really comfy queen sized bed. Convenient parking right out front. Clean and bright bathroom with a deep tub/good shower.Definitely on our favorite list!!
A true gem. This was such a wonderful stay. Clean, functional, and had wonderful attention to detail. I’m a sucker for aesthetics and this host does a lovely job of creating a relaxing and calm vibe to ensure an enjoyable stay. It is in a great location as well. I truly loved everything about it. I hope to stay again sometime soon. 10/10 for me!
Hummingbird Cottage is delightful place to visit lovely Arroyo Grande. It is somehow both spacious and cozy! The living room has a high ceiling,and big windows with lots of light; the comfortable bedroom leads to lovely outdoor patio. We assume Kelly likes to cook because the amazing kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. It’s all quite clean, heating and AC are excellent, and good ceiling fans. There is easy street parking. Kelly the owner is very responsive to questions as well. We started messaging her with questions before we arrived and she quickly answered each one. When we were there we messaged asking about 2 things we needed. She promptly replied where we could find them, and also offered to get them to us if they weren’t there but, of course, they were. She even has pet treats, and offered to customize the mattress, which was super-comfortable. It’s all so well organized for guests and there is even a customized Welcome book with useful info about the Cottage and also about the Arroyo Grande area. Strongly recommended. Thank you Kelly!

Thank you so much for noticing all the details! We really want people to relax and have the best stay and I am so glad that you both did! Wishing you all the best!
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!
We had a wonderful stay! The property was great and Kelly was super communicative when we had questions. We had a great time exploring the area with our new rescue dog. Everything was perfect and would definitely recommend!

Thanks for the great feedback! We love hearing how our guests enjoyed their stay and we hope to see you again. Happy Holidays!
Me and my wife had a great stay. The property was very close to Downtown Arroyo Grande, very close to SLO and Venice Beach. Hosts showed great hospitality. Unit itself was clean and great amount of living space. 10/10. Thank you Humming Bird/Kellie!

Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you had a great review. Just note for others, I think Manolo meant Pismo Beach. :)
Just a quick weekend getaway, but it was so much more enjoyable because of the place we stayed. The Hummingbird Cottage was the perfect place. Clean, quaint, and very inverting. We highly recommend a stay.
