Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984, this 40-year-old property is well-maintained as a vacation rental but remains largely dated. The kitchen features original-style oak cabinetry and older appliances, and the overall interior finishes appear to be over 20 years old. While functional and move-in ready, it requires cosmetic updates and modernization to meet current market standards.
Situated in Cambria's most desirable neighborhood for rentals, the property offers exceptional walkability to Shamel Park, Fiscalini Ranch, and Moonstone Beach.
As a licensed vacation rental generating over $50,000 in annual revenue for the last four years, this property offers a turnkey investment opportunity with established ROI.
Designed by local legend Brent Berry, the 'Hummingbird House' features a distinctive Big Sur-inspired craftsman aesthetic and panoramic ocean, mountain, and sunset views.
With only two bedrooms and 1,438 square feet, the home's smaller footprint may be a constraint for larger families or buyers seeking more expansive modern layouts.
The 3,500 square foot lot is relatively small, which limits private outdoor yard space and potential for future property expansions.
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.
