Overall we had a great time. Location perfect for walking to shops and restaurants, but still peaceful with a water view of the marina. Beds comfortable, plenty of kitchenware. It was a bit smaller than we anticipated (it’s only half of the house shown in the picture), and we were surprised to find it didn’t have its own pool (it’s a community pool). The steam shower was nice touch!

The house is beautiful with so much space. The amenities are amazing especially the sauna shower. It is close to everything and in a great neighborhood with friendly people.

Three generations gathered here for New Year's weekend (all adults). Plenty of beds and bathrooms with two bonuses: a steam shower and jacuzzi tub! Of note, the eat-in kitchen (with seating for 8) is upstairs. The first floor porch and second floor balcony were favorite spots for curling up with a good book while enjoying morning sun. Patrick was very responsive as needed, provided thorough welcoming communications and accommodated our late check out.

This is a great house for a group of people! There were plenty of spaces to hang out together or to find solace with a book! The location was ideal for getting around town for meals and shopping. I'm pretty sure we did not drive the entire weekend. The water views were serene! I definitely recommend Crazy Birds to anyone and can't wait to get back again!

My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay at Crazybirds! When we first got there we were impressed at the cleanliness of it. We’ve stayed at other VRBO properties and this one was exceptional! When we weren’t walking through town (Sooo many cute shops and restaurants!!) we spent most of our time in the common spaces of the home! The open kitchen has a large table and bar area perfect for spending time together and we loved the covered balcony that’s right off the kitchen….and those water views were everything and perfect for sunset happy hour! In the evening after we came home from dinner (Mr. P's is a MUST) we hung out by the firepit/patio. The space was large enough to accommodate us with the Adirondack chairs, porch swing, and sitting wall that wraps around the firepit so we could all enjoy the warmth of the fire. I highly recommend Crazybirds and visiting the City of Southport!

We we enjoyed our short stay. Property is nice however there is no living space to gather. Media room is small and is not a good space for adults or smaller children.

The location is great and a nice property Issues - Did not expect to have to make all the beds upon arrival. - Pillows are all flat - please upgrade - all the mattresses (except for the King) need to be replaced. They are great for kids but not for adults - No living room - must have missed that in the description.

The description of this is deceiving. It’s a nice house, but the layout is weird. When I spend this kind of money, I do have certain expectations. Like after driving over 10 hours to reach the house, we discover that we have to make all the beds and the floors were dirty as can be. Black feet after less than hour of trying to get the house ready for ourselves. There was also very little cleaning supplies in the house, so I couldn’t even mop the floors. 3 bedrooms are on the first floor, which we planned on having our 3, 6, and 14 year old sleep in. The master is upstairs, along with the kitchen, so you always are climbing steps when you bring groceries or anything in. There were HUGE roaches in 2 of the bedrooms downstairs that we killed throughout the week, so clearly our children slept upstairs with us. There is no living room to hang out in. There is a tiny “theater room” that is covered in carpet, is very uncomfortable, and smells like pee. That’s where we did hang out as a family to watch a movie or just the kitchen table to play games. Many closets and cabinets are locked so you don’t have access to much storage. The outside area is also TINY and had 2 chairs by the fire pit, so there’s no outside area to hang out on either. The 2 porches don’t function as really good hang outs. I was told there was a beach within walking distance. This is not the case. You have to drive 15-20 minutes away for a beach experience. This was the most frustrating part because with 3 kids, we bring all our gear (which none are provided with this rental) and then have to haul it all to the beach. I would have just rented a place on the beach for the same money had the owner been more transparent about that. They also list that they provide beach towels in the listing and they do not… you can rent them for the week. The pool: The pool is a very small shared pool with everyone in the entire neighborhood. 2 families there and it’s crowded. This is a mostly residential area and neighbors clearly do not like the fact that this is available as a rental. We were informed by a neighbor that they were never supposed to be rented out when they were built and those who moved there did so for retirement or as a second home. So, it never feels good when you know the neighbors don’t want you there. We are big travelers and this didn’t measure up to us feeling like we got the best experience for the money with so many discrepancies of the listing and inconveniences.

Overall, we really enjoyed the house and the location. The fire pit in the back was lovely and we enjoyed playing corn hole by the pool. The upstairs deck was a peaceful and cozy area for morning coffee and relaxation. There are tons of excellent restaurants/bars within walking distance and also many supplies to cook at home with. We had a few cons regarding our stay. We were unable to find the king sheets until the second night due to them being in the dirty laundry bag by the door( we had to wash them of course). The house had a few cockroaches, but that is understandable due to being in the south and them being all over outside. We also didn’t realize the pool wasn’t in the backyard, but shared by multiple houses on the block. However, we did get lucky and had the pool to ourselves the two times we went. We also wished there was a better living area to hang out in. Overall would recommend staying.

We rented crazy birds for our daughter and her bridesmaids. The place was perfect for them and the hosts quickly addressed any items that we had questions on. It was a great stay!

Was a great time lived the house. There were times I didn’t love those steps! Homeowners helped with all the questions I had. Would recommend to all ages.

We had a great time staying at Crazy Birds, but had a few complaints. First and foremost, we saw multiple cockroaches during our stay, on the upstairs porch and in a downstairs bedroom..!! Second, we were never able to find beach towels that were advertised as included, and there were no extra rolls of paper towels or toilet paper to be found anywhere. But we enjoyed the proximity to the little downtown area and the beautiful view from the upstairs porch. Thank you for your hospitality!

My husband and I decided to do a quick getaway with our 8 year old son before school started back and this was the perfect place for a quick trip. I was able to do a quick instacart delivery the night we got there for the basics but ate most meals out as mostly everything we wanted to do was walking distance. My son enjoyed everything with us, especially the dolphin views while we were eating at Edgewater 122, which I can’t say enough good things about! The house was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was definitely a high point with water views and what looks like some upgraded appliances. My only complaint was that it was too warm to use the fire pit on the back patio, but I guess we’ll have to go back in the cooler weather for that!!! Thank you Crazy Birds for a memorable weekend!

Beautiful place!!! Great place for both adults and children. We will definitely stay here again.

We loved the house! The pool was great and never crowded. We loved walking to the waterfront restaurants. Fun had by all! Thank you for sharing your home!

Nice place, walking distance from several restaurants

When we arrived at the property, the ac was not working. Reached out to the manager and it was fixed within 6 hours. It was awesome. The week was perfect for me and my family!

Beautiful home and great location. No living room for family to hang out together but nice covered porch sreas with nice view of marina. Short walk to restaurants and downtown

We were all impressed with the cleanliness and location! The community pool was nice and short walk to town was really nice. We did miss having a living room area but that is the only negative we had.

We really enjoyed our stay in your home. Let me tell you though when you are first bringing in all your goods... Lord that is a leg workout getting it all up to the beautiful kitchen. The granbabies loved our Massive shower in our bedroom , as did we! Have to say slightly disappointed in a few things. Upstairs floor was dirty and all our feet were black after first night. There was minimal cleaning supplies in case there is a splill.. everything is behind locked doors. We ended up running out of towels and i did do a load of laundry and when i went to dry them i could not get the dryer to work .We ran out of toilet paper and trash bags early the 2nd day there, which I am not sure what the recommendation is on all that. And finally my son told me the 2nd day that he didn't have sheets on his bed, so we looked in the cabinets downstairs and only found more towels. So he made it work and here last day we find a bag of linens in the corner downstairs near the closet with games, so wasn't sure we were supposed to make our own beds. Other than this we enjoyed ourselves very mush and made some amazing memories ❤️! Thank u for opening your home to me and my family

House was so nasty we spent hours cleaning. Refrigerator and dryer did not work. No living room and the pool was shared with 38 other units. Owner never addressed any issues and was very rude.. I will never stay here or book anything with vrbo ever again. Southport was a beautiful place and we enjoyed the beaches, shopping and the restaurants.

We had the best time at Crazy Birds in Southport! The location is perfect because it’s walking distance into town, but the neighborhood is nicely tucked away so we could enjoy quiet evenings on the porches and the patio where we could watch the boats and the beautiful Ibis flying (we were told they fly in from Africa this time of year and leave around August!). We were able to easily walk to our 2 favorite restaurants, Mr. P’s and Edgewater, which I highly recommend! I felt like I was at a spa in the steam shower in the Master and enjoyed cooking dinner in the kitchen with those gorgeous water views. Make sure to walk down to Potter’s seafood market on the docks for your selection of their fresh daily catch. We will definitely be back!

Great house - great location!

The place is very nice for relaxing. Some things to be aware of: 1) there is no living room. We had a lot of friends get together so we hung out on the upper deck and at the kitchen table. 2) The master bathroom’s shower is Ammmmaaazzzzinnnnggg! 3) All the main hangouts are upstairs. So beware if you have trouble with stairs. 4) the coffee pot is horrible but they have a Kurig so bring you some coffee pods.
