HUMMINGBIRD HAVEN FULL HOUSE
Santa Cruz Mountains Retreat with Panoramic 90° Monterey Bay Views, Hot Tub, Radiant Heated Floors, and Spectacular Sunrise and Sunset Skies
Welcome to Hummingbird Haven, your peaceful mountaintop sanctuary above the fog line, perched high in the Santa Cruz Mountains with panoramic 90° views of Monterey Bay and the surrounding redwood valleys. This is a place where nature feels alive around you, where the sky paints masterpieces twice a day, and where every moment invites you into deeper rest, creativity, and connection.
Right now is sunrise and sunset season, when the skies erupt with mind-blowingly vibrant colors like fiery orange, neon pink, lavender, deep purple, and luminous gold. Guests describe this time of year as unreal, cosmic, and like watching the sky breathe. Whether you're greeting the day with sunrise coffee or soaking in the hot tub as the sun melts into the horizon, this is one of the most magical seasons to experience the Central Coast.
This tranquil 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat was designed as a restorative sanctuary for families, couples, remote workers, nature lovers, and anyone craving stillness, beauty, and space to breathe. Surrounded by towering redwoods and open sky, Hummingbird Haven offers peace, privacy, and an atmosphere guests remember long after their stay.
THE HOME
As you step inside, you're greeted by a bright, open-concept space filled with natural light. Expansive windows and large sliding glass doors frame a breathtaking panoramic 90° sweep of Monterey Bay, layered mountain ridges, drifting coastal fog, and dramatic sky color shifts throughout the day.
Every room and bedroom in the home faces this panoramic expanse along the entire back of the property. The kitchen is the one room that also looks out toward the front garden, where seasonal blooms and a vibrant fuchsia bush with striking pink and purple flowers attract hummingbirds throughout the day. Their presence brings a joyful sense of movement and life to the space.
One of the most beloved features is the radiant heated flooring throughout the home. The soft, even warmth grounds you from the moment you arrive. It's quiet, gentle, and consistent—no blowing vents or cold patches. Just soothing warmth underfoot during cool mornings and foggy coastal evenings. The home feels spa-like the moment you enter.
The living area offers soft seating, tranquil energy, and panoramic views in every direction. Whether you're reading, relaxing, or sharing meals, the space invites connection, reflection, and comfort.
THE KITCHEN
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare nourishing meals. The kitchen includes high-quality tools and appliances that make cooking both easy and enjoyable. You'll have access to a Vitamix, bread maker, dehydrator, popcorn maker, food processor, and other premium tools that even professional chefs appreciate.
For convenience, we keep a variety of staples available at all times, including beans, lentils, shelf-stable proteins, nourishing pantry basics, and frozen vegetables. Fresh organic vegetables and other ingredients can be provided upon request before your stay, ensuring everything arrives fresh and intentional.
Whether you're preparing smoothies, tea or coffee, simple snacks, or full meals, the kitchen is designed to support wellness and ease.
THE PRIMARY SUITE
The primary bedroom is a sunset sanctuary. Imagine relaxing in a queen bed facing ten-foot sliding glass doors that open to a panoramic 90° view of redwoods, coastline, and the glowing Monterey Bay sky. In the evening, the sky transforms into breathtaking layers of gold, rose, lavender, deep orange, and vibrant pink as the sun sets over the mountains and, in certain seasons, directly over the ocean.
This room is also the closest to the hot tub, making it effortless to slip outside for a warm, starlit soak. It's the perfect place to unwind, journal, sip tea, or simply watch the light fade across the landscape.
Step onto your private covered patio and greet the day with stillness as fog drifts softly through the treetops. On cooler mornings, the radiant heated floors keep the room perfectly warm, setting the tone for a peaceful start to the day.
THE HOT TUB
Just steps from the primary bedroom, the outdoor hot tub sits in its own private sanctuary surrounded by Naked Lady flowers, lush banana-like plants, seasonal lilies, and a charming thatched-style roof. Whether you're soaking after a day of adventuring or relaxing beneath the evening sky, this hot tub is one of the most memorable highlights of the entire stay.
With zero light pollution, the stars here are exceptionally bright. Constellations stand out clearly, planets glow, and shooting stars are common. Combined with the warmth of the water and the crisp mountain air, the hot tub becomes a deeply restorative experience.
Sunsets from the hot tub during this season are especially spectacular, with skies that turn molten gold, bright pink, violet, and deep amber.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The large covered patio extends your living space directly into nature. With comfortable seating, including cozy couches and a plush outdoor daybed for guests who enjoy lounging or even sleeping under the night sky, this space is perfect for morning coffee, sunset watching, journaling, yoga, stretching, birdwatching, or simply being still.
Perched above the fog, the property enjoys more sunshine, more sky, and broader horizons than most homes in the region. The shifting light, drifting fog, and rhythm of the mountains surround you from sunrise through sunset.
A RETREAT FOR REST AND CREATIVITY
Hummingbird Haven is more than a home. It's a living atmosphere of quiet beauty. Guests describe it as healing, grounding, inspiring, peaceful, and a reset button for the soul.
