Great stay, easy check in/out. I do wish check out was a little later than 10AM though. Kitchen ware was fully stocked making it easy to cook and the house was clean and comfortable.
There is no public beach access, so not many tourist drive in. It makes it perfect and more personal.
The house was great and the beach was perfectly clean and not many people at all. I do wish check out was noon and not 10 am but it is what it is.
Home is as advertised. Nicely decorated. Great amenities. Lots of little extras.
Location: This place is on the perfect location in Crystal Beach, not far from the ferry, and the entry to the beach is very simple to get to. The beach area is clean, way cleaner than other areas and you have plenty of room to spread out and relax. Chairs and a wagon are provided, so no need to pack extra! The outside: wow, absolutely everything anyone would need for fun. Plenty of covered area to rent outside but still have shade. Tables to have dinner or drinks, because THERE IS A FULL BAR AREA And even has a tv to catch your favorite sports. Can totally play bartender here, everything you need to make cocktails, so bring your favorite liquors! There is even an outside shower for when you get in from the beach and walk the bird is so cute and looks hand painted! Upstairs is another deck that has an awesome porch swing and another table to hang out on (we watched the stars). Inside: perfection. 3 spacious rooms, cool AC and fans in the rooms, and everything is decorated in beautiful taste. The living room has two awesome rocking chairs/loungers (perfect for rocking my baby to sleep) and the couches are comfy. The kitchen is probably the highlight, though. Very modern and beautiful. Everything you need to cook and then sit down with the family. Also includes wine fridge and then an ice maker which was great to fill our coolers. One of the bedrooms had a telescope that ended up being awesome, that room has a little balcony to take it on to and I was surprised how much everyone liked to look through it. Oh, the restrooms have a heated option for when you get in/ out of the shower, this was awesome to not be freezing in a wet bathing suit! Overall, the place was impeccably clean and it seems that the hosts thought of everything to make our stay perfect! Awesome place to both relax and party lol.
Awesome home, great amenities! Really sad that the fees were an additional $500 for booking, cleaning, “additional charges”, service fee. 2 nights totaled $1500.. check in at 4pm and check out at 10am is ridiculous as well but hopefully it gets better.
The house had everything that we needed. It was very clean when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that the lift didn't work and we had to carry heavy coolers up the stairs.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bird’s Next. This house was one of the best stocked rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and we cooked almost every night. There is a grill which was not listed so we brought our own, but wanted to mention they did have one. Everything you’d need for a day at the beach was in the garage. Our 20 year old daughter and her three friends spent the majority of their time down stairs playing corn hole and listening to music. It’s such a neat area with the very cute bar area. Many drinks were made there. :) The house is updated, clean and very well maintained. I wish I could have stayed longer!!!
The solitude was awesome!
We had a lovely time with the family. Really enjoyed our stay and as always, too short.
I could not have asked for a better home for our family vacation. Plenty of room for two couples and our children. We enjoyed the amenities for home cooked meals, bartending, movie/game nights, and the beach. It had everything we needed and more. The space under the house was perfect for hanging out both on rainy and hot days. The bar down there is like a mini margaritaville! We made lots of memories and will be back. Book this house for your beach stay- you won’t regret it!
