This house is perfect for a large group! We have two families with grown children, and slept all 12 of us very comfortably. The kitchen has all of the necessities and Jeffry was very helpful with the extra things we needed. There are chairs and a wagon for the beach, which was also very helpful! This was our second stay at The Bird and we will be back!

We had a very nice week in Paradise! Our host was very communicative and I appreciated that they could be contacted at anytime for anything during our stay. The location is perfect, a short walk to the beach and ocean view. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals during the week and has two refrigerators, so we used one just for beverages, and the pool was so nice to have on some of the hot days and returning from the beach. It is a large home, with superior mattresses, and being only a family of four staying in the home, everyone had their own space to relax.

Best No Worry Stay Ever

The Bird was the best no worry vacay our famiy has ever had. The host, Jeffry, was also very kind and quick to respond to any question I had. The property was extensively stocked and even had pickle ball paddles for play, something my teens were super excited over. We will definitely consider this property for future family vacays.

We had a wonderful time. The property was big enough for us to all spread out lots of space in and outside the house. The beach was a short walk and the boys really enjoyed the community basketball court and pool.

We had a great stay with our group of 13! The house was spacious, clean, and had plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. We especially appreciated the private room on the first floor—it was perfect for the grandparents and made things so much easier for them.The neighborhood felt very safe and was peaceful, and the short walk to the beach was a huge plus—we were there in just a few minutes. Both the private pool at the house and the clubhouse pool were fantastic and enjoyed by all.The owner was wonderful—very friendly and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. A couple of small things to note: the beach chairs and wagons were rusted and not usable, and the appliances could use a bit of updating. But overall, the home had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing beach getaway.
