Really enjoyed our stay. Loved the dock on Indian river, nice place to sit & relax. Clean & cozy! Nice location for ease of getting to shopping & restaurants.
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!
We love this cottage. This is the second year we've taken a weekend trip here from our home a few hours away. It's the perfect size, very clean and well kept, and has everything we needed. The best part is the location: walk to the village for an evening performance at the Cocoa Village Playhouse, walk to restaurants, hop on bikes for a scenic ride right out the front door. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the dock at sunset while watching the dolphins jump. We even saw a SpaceX launch!
My husband and I stayed the weekend here and loved it! The house was clean, beautiful view of the river. We ate dinner on the private dock and watched for dolphins. We had a blast!
This was an absolutely amazing vacation for the two of us, celebrating 12 years of marriage. I fantastic getaway and one we intend to do again…maybe for lucky 13!!
The property is clean and cute and super comfy. Plenty of shopping/groceries close by. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was amazing. Access to a private dock was super handy and we used it quite a bit. 15 minutes to the beaches. Lots of great places to eat within walking distance. My wife and i will absolutely be booking here in the future.
Lovely cottage in a quiet, upscale neighborhood yet near all amenities. Nicely adorned with fresh yet classic atmosphere. Comfortable King bed. Access to dock made for pleasant sunset hour. Loved our time there.
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!
I was tempted to give a bad review just so it would be easier for me to return (ha). But the owner(s) deserve better as this place was outstanding on all counts. So glad I found it and definitely plan on returning.
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.
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
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.
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.
We just returned from such a fabulous weekend trip to the Hummingbird Cottage! We decided at the last minute to take a road trip and Mark was so accommodating! Check in couldn't have been smoother and the location is top notch. We took the kayaks out one day and loved it! We also loved sitting on the dock at happy hour! The cottage was super clean and so charming! We cooked in both nights. The kitchen is small, but had everything we needed to prepare our meals. A short walk into Cocoa Village. We can't wait to return!
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!
The cottage is ideally located within walking distance of Cocoa Village which has lots of quaint shops and a good number of bars and restaurants. The property is exactly as detailed in the listing. We had great fun fishing off the private dock and riding the provided cycles. There was also coolers and chairs for the beach. The Kayaks are in good condition although we didnt use them. Fishing rods were also available to use. The hosts Mark and Lisa couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and I would definitely 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.
