Hummingbird House

ZMN Chicago, IL
Review Submitted: October 20, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Our family had a wonderful time at the Hummingbird house. The place is in a quiet and safe Hillcrest neighborhood. Walking distance to amazing Balboa park and SD Zoo with many restaurants and shops nearby. We recommend the Hummingbird house as one of the best rental places we visited so far.

Charming Cottage & Perfect Location

Bon Voyage San Francisco Bay Area
Review Submitted: November 24, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We had a lovely stay at Hummingbird Cottage. The home is charming and clean. And it is in a great location - quiet residential neighborhood, yet convenient access to Balboa Park (the Zoo, Spanish Village, museums), downtown, the airport, beaches, etc. We appreciated the suggestions of places to eat, and all of the maps and guides available for use. Also, a variety of grocery stores, shops and cafés are just down the street.

Thanks to Trish and Fred for all your help!

"Home away from Home" experience

mrsf_1206 Reseda, Ca/ Fairbanks, Ak
Review Submitted: November 18, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My husband and I, (+ 19 month old daughter)- wanted to take a small vacation with the "home away from home" experience. We really wanted something with easy access to restaurants, parks, family areas, grocery store etc. and this was by far the best. I was very nervous because this is my first time doing the vacation home experience, all I can say-we won’t be going back to hotels anytime soon.
I was nervous I wouldn't get what I paid for- BUT THE TRUTH IS I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. Trish was the best; she answered all my questions and concerns asap, even while we were at the rental. Great customer service. The description was very accurate regarding the location of the rental. With a 19 month old, being walking distance to the park was essential. It took us 10-15 min. to walk to the zoo. A couple nights we would walk to University Ave. and find some place to eat. We'd go down to blockbuster every night to rent movies. Everything was so comfortable, easy, and relaxed that it made this vacation, PERFECT!
I loved that the house had its own driveway; we drove a Chevy Suburban, which is not easy to park sometimes. Everything was clean and well maintained when we got there which was nice. The house was a little on the warm side, I LOVED IT, but my husband didn't. My husband loved the porch and the rocking chairs; he made it a point to go out on the porch to drink his coffee in the morning, and to rock with our daughter before bedtime. If you have younger children, you have to watch them carefully while on the porch. Make sure you bring your own baby plates and silverware.The house is so cute!!! The layout was perfect for us. This house had everything that your house would have at home. If you forget something, chances are, they will have a spare at the house.
I have already told my parents that this rental is a must to visit. It’s great for all walks of life- there is something there for everyone. Everyone who knows me knows about this vacation. I was so nervous going into this but was so excited in the end that I had to tell everyone about it.
This place was really great- my family and I will definitely be back.

My family really enjoyed staying here for 1 week. The cottage was very neat and clean! We could walk to shopping and restaurants. If we come back to San Diego we would look to stay here again. Also, the neighborhood was quiet!
