There are many homes in Cambria with nicknames, but maybe NONE more appropriately named than “The Hummingbird House”. This EXTREMELY successful Licensed Vacation Rental is perched near the crest of Park Hill, the best location in Cambria for a rental. From here you can walk down to the beach/ocean at Shamel Park, across to the Fiscalini Ranch, into town and over to Moonstone Beach Drive. The corner location offers sweeping horizon/ocean/sunset views, and the views continue out towards the lighthouse, Hearst Castle and the Santa Lucia Mountains to the east. This two bedroom, two bath house was designed and built by local legend Brent Berry and his dad. This is “funky, cool Cambria” at its BEST, truly one of the Big Sur-iest Big Sur-feeling houses in Cambria. The front door is a huge slab of redwood, hand carved by Brent‘s dad to include the namesake hummingbirds. This craftsman home could be yours to own, use and rent…all at the same time! It has generated over $50,000 in revenue for each of the last four years.
