About this cottage rental
Hummingbird cottage is a charming cottage built for comfort. The ground floor has an open plan room with vaulted ceiling and beautiful venetian glass chandelier. The dining room area has a table that will comfortably seat six adults. The living area has a tv and comfortable slipcovered couch and two arm chairs. There are four large windows to maximise the natural light and provide wonderful cross breezes in the summer. The back door leads out to a patio with cushioned chairs and table for Al Fresco dining and sofa and coffee table for relaxing. There is an outdoor shower behind the house for showers after your days at the beach. Upstairs there is a loft style bedroom, quaintly tucked into the eaves,that has two twin beds that can also be pushed together to make a king size bed. The kitchen has a small fridge, microwave, convection stove top, toaster and coffee maker and Nespresso machine so you can enjoy light meals at home. A grill is also available to use. The marble walk in shower and marble floor bathroom is located next to the master bedroom which has a queen size bed.
Situated in Duxbury, a quiet town at the beginning of cape cod, close to everything but off the beaten track. This historic town has so much to offer, from oysters and lobsters to fresh baked french pastries. The six mile beach is just a few miles away from the cottage and here you can spend a day reaxing on the outer beach, home to endangered plovers and in the winter months, snowy owls.Just 35 miles from Boston you can see all the sites of the city easily in a day trip. There is a commuter train that takes you right to the city from the next town, Kingston. The ski resorts are just two hours drive and many can be reached in a day trip. Vermont and New Hampshire are also within a short drive and Rhode island too. The cottage is a perfect point from which to explore or to relax and enjoy all the local activities. The historic town of Plymouth, where the pilgrims landed is just a few miles away and a trip to Plymouth plantation or a whale watch off Provincetown are fun to do. We will do anything we can to make your stay wonderful and great. There is so much to see that one trip just wont be enough!
There is a ring doorbell at the main entrance door for security and only shows the exterior entry.

This is a cute place-- small, but efficiently and beautifully designed (great for two-- or a couple w/ 2 kids in the loft. There is traffic on one adjacent street, but it is not seen (due to the shrubbery) and is only heard every now and then. The place is clean and relaxing. A great place to hang out-- or to travel to nearby historic locations. Thanks for the nice stay!

My husband and I were in Duxbury for a few days over Thanksgiving. We chose this cottage as it was close to family and the village. The minute we opened the door we felt at home. So warm and cozy! The owner Ashley,
had left us a bottle of wine in the fridge and delicious pastries for breakfast. Truly a great stay and will definitely stay again when visiting the area.

We chose this rental due to its central location between my two nieces' homes. It served as a very comfortable base for us in between visits. It was super clean and well organized. The layout was great and the kitchen well-planned to maximize space. It was quiet and peaceful and we had a wonderful time.

Hummingbird cottage was just perfect. For a small space, it had everything that was needed and a spacious lawn area completed with tree swing, dining table with umbrella and lounging couch. The kitchen had multiple coffee makers and all the gadgets necessary to cook plus a gas grill outside. Laundry, beach supplies. It was so well appointed and communication with the owner was seamless, timely and friendly. We will be back!

This was our second stay at this beautiful and cozy cottage. The cottage is clean and well stocked with all of the comforts of home. The owners left us a bottle of wine and fresh pastries from a favorite local bakery, French Memories. When I visit my brother in Duxbury this little storybook cottage is always my first choice. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. We will be back!

We loved our time at Hummingbird Cottage over the Thanksgiving weekend. While we spent most of our waking hours with our relatives, the cottage was such a lovely place to come back to at the end of the day. We enjoyed watching a little tv before bed in the comfortable living room (we didn’t miss cable tv as we had access to several streaming services). We particularly enjoyed the various options for making coffee and tea in the morning. - we have stayed in many Airbnb and VRBO properties and have never seen so many choices —the cottage had Keurig and Nespresso machines, an electric kettle and a pour-over coffee maker. No need to go out, but other options are a quick ride away. We did not have a chance to cook, but the compact kitchen was well-equipped. The cottage is beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture and curated folk art. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again soon!

Had a very nice time at the cottage. Its location was just perfect for us. We needed to go a few towns north of Duxbury for a weekend event, but it also allowed us to head to the cape for the afternoons. Enjoyed the private back porch and the BBQ grill

This property was everything as advertised- and previous reviews. Adorable cottage beautifully decorated & spotlessly clean with very comfortable bed. Nice big yard with lots of privacy. And best of all - the hosts were lovely - always pleasant & available whenever I needed anything. I am already looking forward to my return to this A+ property! Thank you Ashley & John. Joan Carroll

Beautiful! everything was as advertised and more!
The cottage was exceptional! It was clean, comfortable and a great location. The owner was accessible if needed, which was not needed because everything was in place and available. The kitchen was well stocked and very clean. We slept quite well as the rooms were comfortable and quiet. We will certainly plan our next trip to include this cottage again.! Highly recommended!

Cottage By The Sea
What a beautiful cozy cottage to spend my Christmas holiday season with my boys. Our hosts were amazing and even sent carolers to us, which was the highlight of our trip. Tastefully decorated in a beach shabby chic, this cottage was a lovely place to hang out. Fully equipped with everything you need. I look forward to my return

Humming at Hummingbird
We were looking for a charming, uplifting getaway place where we could relax, be safely socially distant, and leave uplifted and refreshed. Hummingbird -- with its charming decor, excellent amenities and garden-setting -- fit the bill perfectly. Ashley and Jon were lovely and thoughtful hosts. We left humming!

Perfect getaway cottage with privacy, great location, and charm
Quiet street located near Duxbury and Plymouth town centers, beautiful ground with private yard and patio, attentive and caring landlord when asked, but never intrusive. Lovely interior with lots of light and air, good heat for the cold mornings, comfortable beds and easy chairs/sofa, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, and other appliances. Our favorite rental in the area for my sister and me.

Spotless and charming
We absolutely loved our stay at Hummingbird. It was cozy, but just what we needed. Especially in light of pandemic I was concerned about cleaning, but it was immaculate upon arrival. The situation of property while near, is very private from main house. We loved using the outdoor spaces- kids got a kick out of shower and swing. Lastly, I can’t say enough about Ashley as a host. She was accommodating and super responsive. She had great recs on local food, activities etc. and got back to my messages in lightening speed.

Beautifully decorated cottage.
You won't be disappointed. This cottage is beautifully decorated. It has everything needed for your stay. The owner took the time to put together a brochure of information of the local restaurants, entertainment and distance to some points of interest. I highly recommend this cottage and look forward to staying again.

Amazing
Perfect little cottage! Immaculately kept and furnished. It could not have been cleaner (which is my top priority). Even if it is small, we had all we needed. Every small detail is carefully arranged, clearly they have a thing for interior decor! From the cottage you can drive to lots of cool places and beaches and the recommendations they gave us were amazing (mostly French bakery and Snug harbor for fish). Beautiful garden with nice outdoor table, bbq, flowers and outdoor shower! Ashley was super responsive and even if they live on the premises it felt very private. I really hope to go back!

Hummingbird Paradise
Hummingbird is a fantastic cottage to enjoy the beautiful peace and quiet Duxbury has to offer. It is the perfect jumping off point for all sorts of adventures. Ashley is a consummate hostess. We stayed in a Hummingbird while we moved to town, and it was the perfect sanctuary. We cannot wait to have friends and family stay in Hummingbird when they visit!

Fall visit to Boston
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is quaint, clean, and nicely appointed. Our hostess was prompt on responding to our questions and gave wonderful recommendations on where to go and what to see. A perfect location for a weekend getaway. Highly recommend

Great location
We were in town for a family event and found the hummingbird cottage welcoming and comfortable. Plus the added extras were nice too. While we normally stay with family when in town, we would stay here again if we ever find ourselves in need of our own space. Thank you.

Lovely Cottage
My daughter and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Cottage. It is beautifully decorated and immaculate. We were greeted with a bottle of The Cottage wine in the fridge and some delicious breakfast pastries. We did not cook there, but every thing is there to help with a simple meal. Plus, coffee pods etc. for the morning.
It was extremely convenient for us, our family lives less than a mile away. But, it is not far from Duxbury beach and some great restaurants.
The only drawback is parking, and that is only of concern if you have more than one car.
