What Guests Are Saying...

Our stay at Jim and Mini’s bird house was wonderful. We were there for two days, and it was a very cute property adjacent to their house and farm. In addition to the very comfortable home space, with a lovely collection of books on Californian wildlife, there was a beautiful outdoor seating space which played host to a number of beautiful birds, and a wonderful vegetable farm. To top it off, they were great hosts with wonderful tips on how to best explore the area. We would totally visit again if we had the chance. Vignesh and Ajita S. (12/30/2022)

Lovely spot for watching birds, convenient to local trails and good area to walk around out the front door. Nice quiet area. Space was well appointed for the few days we visited. Hosts were welcoming and great. Jaclyn B. (12/28/2022)

Excellent values, wonderful people. I am a big fan of the Birdhouse concept. The hosts focus on natural history is a unique and really great reason to choose this accommodation. The bed is very comfortable. Highly recommended. David F. (12/21/2022)

Many thanks for sharing your little piece of Los Osos paradise with us! Even though we experienced lots and lots of rain we had a beautiful time seeing and enjoying the area, vistas, and wildlife. Cynthia and Jeff P. (12/04/2022)

Jim welcomed us and oriented us to The Birdhouse. This is a lovely, cozy, warm, well cared for environment. We really enjoyed the amazing digital phots on the walls ... John and Melissa C. (11/26/2022)

Everything was perfect. Great location and if you enjoy bird watching you won't be disappointed. Raymond S. (11/11/2022)

The birds outside your window - OMG - next time I must bring the binoculars. Cynthia H. (11/11/2022)

Absolutely fantastic location and fabulous hosts! Garen B. (11/06/2022)

Very cute and comfortable place. Look forward to coming back next year. Marc and Maia S. (10/30/2022)

What a cute and comfy unit! .... Jim and Mini have created a beautiful and thoughtful unit with all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway. The art in the home is all of Jim's photography, and it is gorgeous. They have a wonderful patio space in the front and back for reading or having your morning coffee. The hosts were very gracious: they greeted us with a walk through of the unit and were available for any questions or needs during our stay. And the best is if you can sit and listen to the amazing journey of these 2 biologists (Ornithologist and DVM) and the impact they have made in the world. The location is close to town and also walking distance to the water. For food/drinks, the hosts have a detailed list of recommendations .... If you're looking for a peaceful getaway - this is it.

We found this the perfect home base for exploring Morro Bay. The hosts are professional wildlife biologists and photographers, they directed us to really good birding hotspots and tidepools. The property had landscaping to attract wildlife including a hummingbird garden and butterfly garden and the accommodations were super clean and comfortable. Adam R. (10/14/2022)

No better place to be to discover the area and natural wonders: birds, mammals, butterflies, fish, etc. Not to forget the amazing stories by Jim and Mini. Just a brilliant stay!! Marc and Amanda (10/03/2022)

Thank you for having a beautiful place to enjoy and relax. The Birdhouse has a great opportunity to enjoy nature. We love the flowers and listening to the birds. The Macias Family (03/26/2022)
