About this property

The Hummingbird Cottage, Treehouse & Garden - Ocean & Mountain Views

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.

Historic house built in 1880's, perfect for Instagram photos!

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.

Cottage/ Tree house
We had the toilet back up the first night and there was no plunger on the property. Soemone brought over a toilet plunger and gave it to me. No maintenance man. I used it and the plunger came off. VRBO said the manager was billing us for another n$150.00 for damage to the cottage. The damage included feces on the walls (a lie), and stolen bed linen. (another lie). She even charged us for a new plunger that she said I broke. We left everything as we found it or better and we took no linen. Bad news.

I'm accused of leaving excrement and food on the floors and walls. This is an outrage.
When we left Property: 276728, everything was fine. My wife had cleaned the cottage and nothing was broken. We left the cottage clean. We didn't break any dishes; we didn't take any light bulbs; the batteries were used for the TV remotes that didn't work, we didn't take any towels. the groceries were included in the contract. Sandra said that she would have food in the fridge when we arrived The TV didn't work in the bedroom when we arrived and was never fixed There was no excrement and food on the floor and walls when we left. This is ridiculous. We left the cottage clean and undamaged with all lines and towels left in the hamper. We didn't take anything. We will not pay for damages that we did not cause. Sincerely, Timothy Mulholland

Magical Cottage
We had an INCREDIBLE stay! This was one of our favorite vacations ever, and it truly was because of the beautiful space we got to call home for a few days. Sandy was so welcoming and generous, having fresh baked cookies for us upon arrival and giving us tips to the best places in town. Overall it is so peaceful, and the care and attention to detail that went into creating the space does not go unnoticed. We WILL be back!

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!
