Perfect Couple Getaway!

The cottage was perfect, cozy and yet spacious. The private dock in the evening was wonderful to sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the evening breeze. The cottage was close to delicious cafes for breakfast, tasty lunches and relaxing dinner spots. Would definitely stay again.

Great cottage

The cottage was exactly as described in proximity to Cocoa Village, etc., felt safe, was very clean and well decorated. Much attention was paid to detail, and the coffee pot worked well. The bathroom was high-end and spacious, and the office area was neat. Highly recommend.

A quaint place in Cocoa, FL

This is a cozy, retro kind of place located in a secluded neighborhood next to the Indian River in Cocoa. The home has been carefully restored with some modern conveniences but still retaining its 1920’s character. It is a separate cabin not connected to another structure so it was very quiet and restful.

The Perfect Getaway

Cocoa, FL and the Hummingbird Cottage is the perfect getaway for my husband and me! My husband enjoyed fishing at the dock, while I enjoyed the sunshine! The cottage is the perfect size for the two of us, and the kitchen was great for breakfast each morning, as well as storing and heating leftovers from dinner in town each night. Cocoa is a short drive to beaches, breweries, and only an hour from Orlando! The hosts are attentive and easy to communicate with. My husband and I plan to continue to visit when we can!

Lovely cottage

My husband and I stayed for three weeks here and enjoyed every bit of our time. We loved having access to the dock, visiting Cocoa Village, and seeing some of the rocket launches from Port Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. We would definitely stay there again if our travels bring us that direction. Lisa and Mark are wonderful hosts. They thought of everything to make us feel at home!

Charming cottage by the Indian River

Hummingbird Cottage was perfect in every way. Easy walk into Main Street Cocoa featuring a great variety of dining options. The dock sitting area was a wonderful choice for eating right on the River. We enjoyed seeing an exceptional Space X lift off too! Thank you Lisa and Mark, we loved the screened in porch. Cheryl & Marshall

Cocoa Florida

Cocoa by the Indian River is an upscale community. The town is an easy walk from the property. There is a riverfront park. Lot of shops and restaurants. The house is beautifully decorated. The enclosed porch has a view of the river. Cocoa Beach is just over the causeway.

Wow! Beyond expectations!

This quaint little gem of a cottage was fantastic for me and my husband. It’s was just the right amount of space to relax in and feel at home. The place was clean, inviting, and beautifully and thoughtfully designed and decorated. It was stocked with everything we needed and we had access to bikes, laundry, and beach towels/chairs/ coolers. Lisa and Mark made our stay easy and the local dining and shopping recommendations they gave us were helpful. We walked 10 min to Cocoa Village and drove 15 min to Cocoa Beach. We would love to visit this cottage again. Thanks, Mark and Lisa.

Cottage with dock across the street.

Super clean and quite cottage. Not a lot of storage for clothing, but it is Florida so you may not need much. Cocoa Village is within walking distance for decent restaurants. Was surprised that the water is not hard like a lot of Florida water. There is also a kitchen water filter for drinking so don’t need to buy gallons of water.

Beautiful quaint cottage

We could not be more pleased with our stay. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable. Exceptionally clean and the updated bathroom/shower is awesome. Enjoyed sitting on the screened front porch reading and watching the river across the street. Dock is a great place to relax. Short walk to restaurants, shops. Going to miss walking to get coffee and pastries in the mornings. Kitchen has all we needed for quick meal or warming leftovers. Mark and Lisa answered questions immediately. We could not be more pleased with the lovely cottage. Will not soon forget this stay and will be back next year!

Would not hesitate to return

This property and location is a Florida picture-perfect postcard - and I say this as a Floridian of 45 years. Beautiful house right across a small street to a private dock where you can relax and watch a rocket launch if you're lucky! Adorable town minutes away (catch a play at the historic playhouse) with delish dining and charming shops. Bed is comfy, kitchen is beyond adorable; a mid-century modern dream. Living room was super comfy and inviting. Our favorite was the shower room. Yes, room! My husband and I have talked about returning every week since we got home; we are checking the playhouse and SpaceX schedules regularly! Really can't say enough about this beautiful, classic Florida home. Loved our stay.

Exactly as Advertised!

Super, super clean. The absolute best part though is the location. I'm a big walker and the gorgeous morning walks along the miles of waterfront homes were were so peaceful. Walking into town was short and restaurants plentiful. The house is just like the pictures and the bed, comfy. You can eat in if you want too with nice cookware. Favorite parts-sitting on the front porch drinking morning coffee, walking everywhere, watching the bay from the porch or sitting on the pier being lazy, the craftsman style interior finishes where everything is tasteful and elegantly done, Lisa next door answered instantly any questions and you can tell she adores her place...I love it!

The adventure we needed.

We had such an amazing time at the Hummingbird Cottage. The private dock was absolutely beautiful, we couldn't get over all of the wildlife we encountered. We are from the desert so we don't experience things like this. So many sea creatures and we even saw a Manatee who swam by us almost each time we went down. He would roll on his side as he passed the dock to say "Hi". Oh and there were the cutest little armadillos and squirrels that hung out in the garden by the cottage. The cottage was the cleanest VRBO that I've ever stayed it. Immediately upon walking in it was nice and cool and smelled so clean and fresh. The place was spotless and I know this will sound weird but the sheets smelled sooo good, we slept so well! The attention to detail with the decorating was on point and all the little luxuries throughout shined! Thank you Lisa and Mark, we truly loved your cottage. We will most defiantly book again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Gorgeous little cottage, perfect for two. Easy walk to downtown Cocoa Village for coffee and shops. We sat on the dock to watch a Falcon 9 launch. Sorry we missed the dolphins but other than that it couldn't have been more perfect! We definitely recommend Milpa Tacos y Tortillas (just point yourself toward Cocoa Village and follow the road until it becomes Brevard), and Cafe de Havana for morning coffee. We tried Cafe Margaux (make a reservation) and it was decent - great service and ambiance, food was meh and went to French Delights bakery one morning when Cafe de Havana and Ossorio were closed. French Delights was a little fussy; the coffee was so-so and the pastries looked great (I am celiac so we weren't able to try them)...the owner was a little intense. NASA/Kennedy Space Center is only about a 20-30 minute drive and we enjoyed a full day there. Another afternoon, we drove to Cocoa Beach and found a state park access that was lovely and not too crowded. Absolutely perfect weekend in this adorable cottage! Thank you.

Perfect location- better than staying on the beach

We've visited the Space Coast many times over the years, often staying in beachfront hotels. This was by far our favorite place to stay. So relaxing, clean, and beautiful! It was an easy and safe walk from the cottage into Cocoa Village at night for dinner and to catch a play at the Cocoa Village Playhouse. Early morning coffee on the front porch while watching the sun rise over the river across the street. Long bike ride up Indian River Drive and back. (We had brought our own bikes but I the property has bikes you can use.) Sitting on the dock at sunset with a glass of wine while watching the dolphins come in. Long bike ride the next day in the other direction. Everything is super clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Lots of nearby restaurants. Grocery store a short drive away. The only negative, just a minor complaint, is that it's not 100% quiet. Depending on the wind direction, we could hear traffic from the causeway, a train rumbling through town, and Friday night speeders on Indian River Road. But that was more than offset by the quaint peacefulness. We will return for sure!
