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!

This was a wonderful, super-clean, well-organized little place. All the communication and information about the place and the check-in was super clear. It's very close to the cute little town of Arroyo Grande for food options. We had a great stay and would recommend it! For people like me who love knowing details of the beds at places, the bed is super soft - if you like firm beds it's the polar opposite. The fold out couch is easy to set up but very utilitarian in its bed-like qualities (as pullouts always are). Sensitive sleepers will definitely find it challenging.

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
