The Hummingbird House is simply MAGICAL! The whole property is brimming with enchanting JNDs (just noticeable differences). The accommodations are comfortable and the vibe completely inspirational. I especially loved the attention to detail in the lighting, both inside and outside the house: the prismatic effect in the bathroom as the sun shines through in the morning, the multicolored "stars" projected onto the outside walls at night, the landscape lighting throughout the gorgeous succulent gardens, the spotlights on the divine art...MAGICAL! Everything about our stay was extremely inspirational to my desires for our final "spot" in this present existence. This is the first AirBnB offering that I would consider returning to for its own sake. It would be PERFECT for a romantic getaway or protracted sabbatical.
DEFINITELY make sure you get VERY detailed directions to the property. It is VERY easy to get lost on those mountain roads, especially at night. Though a bit out of the way from everything we came to visit in the area, the unique, inspiring and comfy qualities of the place are SO worth it and, while a little challenging to find, the route up the mountain from Aptos is beautiful in itself. Highly recommended!
