Casa Colibri del Sol isn’t just a rental; it’s our cherished home, filled with love, memories, and personal touches that reflect who we are. We’ve invested our heart and soul into every corner of this space, from the well-appointed kitchen—perfect for fellow cooking enthusiasts like myself—to the evolving garden that we nurture with care.

When you stay here, you’re experiencing a living, breathing home that continues to grow and improve over time. We’ve designed it to be not just a place to stay, but a place to feel at home. Whether you’re preparing a meal in our fully equipped kitchen or enjoying the tranquil garden, we hope you’ll feel the love and attention to detail that make Casa Colibri del Sol truly special. Each visit offers something new, as we’re always working on new projects to enhance the beauty and comfort of this space, for your enjoyment and ours.

We’re here to ensure your stay is everything you hope for, so if you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We want you to feel at home, just as we do.

Casa Colibri del Sol is named after the enchanting hummingbirds that grace our property. These tiny creatures embody beauty, playfulness, renewal, and healing—qualities we hope every guest experiences during their stay.

The name also holds a special place in our hearts because of a personal connection. Stacee’s grandma, Georgette, was a gentle soul who loved animals, art, and gardening. In her lush garden, a little hummingbird would often visit while she watered her flowers, dancing through the gentle spray and pausing to share a moment with her. It was a transcendent experience that she joyfully shared with Stacee, and that joy has always stayed with us.

In honor of Georgette’s spirit, we’ve created Casa Colibri del Sol as a place where guests can connect with nature, each other, and themselves. We hope that when you spot a hummingbird here, it brings a smile to your face and fills your heart with the same joy and wonder that inspired our home’s name.

To ensure the privacy and security of our home, we only disclose the exact address of Casa Colibri del Sol after a booking is confirmed and payment is received. Rest assured, the general location provided on our listing is accurate—when we say the property is close to specific landmarks, we mean it! This approach helps us maintain the privacy of our much-loved home while still giving you a clear idea of its beautiful surroundings. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive the full property address and all the details you need to plan your stay.

We set our arrival and departure times to ensure our home is always prepared to the highest standard for each guest’s stay. This allows our house staff the time they need to clean, refresh, and add those special touches that make Casa Colibri del Sol a welcoming retreat.

We understand that travel plans can vary, and while we do our best to accommodate requests for early check-ins or late departures, these are considered on a case-by-case basis and depend on our booking schedule. We often won’t be able to confirm availability for these requests until 1-2 days before your check-in date, as we may receive last-minute bookings.

If an early check-in or late departure isn’t possible, we’re happy to offer luggage storage so you can explore and enjoy the area without the burden of your bags. Please reach out to us in advance with any special timing needs, and we’ll do our best to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible.

A full cleaning is included in the cost of your stay, so there’s no need to worry about deep cleaning before you leave. However, we kindly ask that the home be left in a tidy and respectful condition to help us prepare for the next guests.

Here are a few quick and easy check-out reminders to ensure a smooth departure:

• Please lock all doors upon check-out.
• Place used towels in the laundry baskets provided.
• Turn down the bed sheets on any beds that were used (no need to make the beds).
• Load used dishes into the dishwasher and run the wash cycle (we’ll take care of putting them away).
• Report any damage or issues so we can address them promptly.

As a token of our appreciation, please feel free to take home the provided robes and slippers as a departing gift from us.

Cancellation of a booking is considered a termination of your contract with us, and as such, we must treat your instructions to cancel your accommodation as your final decision. Once we receive your cancellation, we will immediately make the dates available for re-sale in an effort to mitigate the cost to you. However, we cannot guarantee that the dates will be re-sold, nor can we guarantee that re-sold dates will be at the same price as your original booking. We strongly urge you to consider cancellation as a last resort and suggest that you purchase holiday cancellation insurance for added peace of mind.

Firstly, please rest assured that it is extremely unusual that we will need to change your accommodation booking once we have accepted it. If however your booking is changed for any reason, we will tell you as soon as we are able. On very rare occasions, circumstances outside of our control may mean that we have to cancel your booking with us and you’ll receive a refund.

Casa Colibri del Sol is our cherished private home, and we have invested significant time, effort, and care into creating beautiful spaces for our guests to enjoy. To safeguard the property, and our personal belongings, we require a security deposit. This deposit ensures that you are aware of your responsibility for the property during your stay and that you will cover the cost of any damages should they occur.

We understand that accidents happen, and we generally do not seek compensation for minor damage—defined as breakages, damage, or extra cleaning likely to cost less than $50 to address. It’s rare for security deposits to be retained, but we do ask that you inform us or the owners of any damage so that it can be repaired before the next guests arrive.

We strive to return the security deposit within 5-7 working days after your departure, provided no issues have been reported.

Yes. Unless there are any changes or amendments to your booking (including changes in the rate of TOT), the price of your accommodation will not be subject to any surcharges once you have paid the deposit and we have accepted the booking.

Casa Colibri del Sol does not provide or require holiday insurance, but we highly recommend it for your peace of mind. A comprehensive travel insurance policy can help protect you in case you need to cancel your booking due to unforeseen circumstances, including adverse travel conditions. This coverage is especially important as neither Casa Colibri del Sol nor the Owners can be held responsible for events beyond our control that may prevent your access to the property. Additionally, we strongly advise ensuring your policy includes personal liability coverage to safeguard against any accidental damage that might occur during your stay.

MEDICAL EXEMPTION TO PETS/SERVICE ANIMALS: No pets/service animals.

We have a medical exemption due to family members who are highly allergic to pet dander – Fines & deep cleaning fees apply for any unreported pets or service animals.

At Casa Colibri del Sol, we take great pride in our home and work tirelessly to maintain a high level of service and ensure an exceptional experience for our guests. Your honest feedback is invaluable to us as it helps us understand what we’re doing well and where we might improve. Whether your stay was everything you hoped for or exceeded your expectations, we love hearing from our guests so that we can continue to enhance our offerings and create unforgettable experiences.

Aside from being an insurance and health and safety requirement in case of emergencies, such as fire, Casa Colibri del Sol is our private home. We appreciate knowing a bit about our guests, including the full names of all adult guests and the ages of any children staying with us. This information helps us ensure that your stay is comfortable and safe.

At Casa Colibri del Sol, we warmly welcome event inquiries and are pleased to consider hosting your special occasion. To ensure that every event aligns with the character and integrity of our beloved home, particularly those involving more than 30 guests, we assess each request on a case-by-case basis. This process involves a thorough discussion of your event plans and confirmation of the necessary insurance. We encourage you to reach out to us with your event details to explore the possibilities of hosting your gathering at our property.

Friends are able to visit you in the property with prior written agreement from the owner. However, friends are not allowed to stay overnight unless they have been pre-notified to us on the property Booking Form as members of your party. This is an insurance and health & safety issue and is non-negotiable; clients will be asked to vacate a property if they do not adhere to this condition of their stay.

To ensure the safety of Casa Colibri del Sol, we kindly ask that guests refrain from bringing their own candles. We do provide candles for your use; however, it is important that you ensure they are used responsibly. Please place candles on flat, heat-resistant surfaces and never leave them unattended. Your safety and the preservation of our property are our top priorities.

We classify ‘infants’ as very young children who are not yet walking and need to be carried. Typically, children start standing and walking around 9 months old, so any child under 12 months is considered an infant. Children are classified as such up to and including the age of 15. Once they reach 18 years old, they are considered adults.
