Indulge in your European steam shower and marble-tiled, dual-head shower spa. Your separate media room comes equipped with a 77' flat screen TV with Apple TV, a PlayStation5 to Play Like Never Before, and Pottery Barn leather sectional seating for enjoying with family and friends! Besides enjoying a game, or your own movies and music via streaming apps like Netflix and iTunes, feel free to enjoy a book, play a board game, or pass an afternoon on the second story outdoor seating area watching the sail and power boats explore the coast. Your custom kitchen, part of a hundred thousand dollar renovation, waits just inside, where you can fix anything from French 75's to a pitcher of frozen margaritas-- or gourmet cook to your hearts content-- while drinking in the visual beauty of the Carolina coast or listening to shore birds and the clinking of the ships' rigging... Downstairs, one bedroom is perfect for young children with its two day beds, comfortingly enclosed on three sides. Two roll-out trundles are great for siblings. Or, the bedroom can be put to good use by single friends maximizing space on vacation! Enjoy the back porch swing and two bathrooms from which to choose: one with a custom, marble-tiled shower enclosure with its own water-heater to ensure endless showers or another with a Jacuzzi jetted-tub large enough for couples or young children and their friends! A second bedroom is perfect for couples or siblings with its full-size, handmade solid pine daybed with full-size, roll-out trundle. Both bedrooms also feature sail chairs--comfortable and nearly indestructible-- made locally from up-cycled, racing-grade, boat sail!. The third bedroom, with queen bed, antique side tables and blanket chest, is well-suited to grandparents or another couple. It is also the location of the wireless router which affords high speed internet throughout the home. Your upstairs custom kitchen has bar seating as well as a more formal dining area for eight. In addition to typical amenities, enjoy your Keurig, espresso maker, charcoal grill (Big Green Egg, XL, to be exact), and atypical cookware including a pressure cooker favored in many cuban dishes. You'll also find your kitchen basics fully stocked on arrival-- we do ask that you replenish what you use and we welcome suggestions on what you'd like to see added in the future. Outside, enjoy cornhole in your side yard, display your grilling expertise on your own luxury Big Green Egg (but please ONLY use the supplied BGE Charcoal and SpeediLight Natural Charcoal Starters) in the hardscaped backyard with built-in firepit, stroll through the picturesque neighborhood, or take a swim or a suntan in the in-ground pool. If exploring's your passion, the marina, coastal walk, and historic Southport are just down the street. If bar-life or food are your passions, stroll to six right on the water-- and don't be surprised to watch dolphins play while you eat (or drink!). For ‘Vitamin T’ seekers, walk to the Southport Yoga Dock for daily classes, wellness, and the kind of centered feeling no amount of money can buy! Jump on your bikes or walk a little farther for the shopping or antiquing which brings day trippers down from Wilmington, Oak Island, or Bald Head. Terrific beaches are easily accessible by car and/or ferry, ranging from minutes on neighboring Oak Island to 30 minutes or so for Wilmington area destinations. Or, with an additional security deposit, fee, and proof of boating experience, use your 19' Grady White with a Yamaha 150, berthed within eyesight of your home, and the entire coast is your playground! Pack a picnic and Pelican Island can be your private beach, and is a 5-minute boat-ride away. Visit Bald Head Island and its miles of pristine beaches, including terrific body-surfing and surfing breaks. Boat the Intracoastal and stop for lunch, dinner, or drinks, wherever you fancy! If golf's your passion, St James Resort is right around the corner by boat or car. Original art throughout including works by local artists and the Georgia-based, Sandra Sacco. Custom ceiling fans throughout. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Espresso maker - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Day bed ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Streaming services - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Ceiling fan - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 3 accessible parking spaces - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Gym - Optional golf privileges - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100790000/100780200/100780150/a62763f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Retreat walkable to the best shops, restaurants, & charm of Southport Southport - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 203 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=100780150&PinnedHotelID=100780150&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93450000/93446500/93446404/65910133.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Swanky Seahorse Oceanviews Carolina Beach - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.8 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=93446404&PinnedHotelID=93446404&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68770000/68762500/68762408/9db91ab1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sun Catcher: Spacious 5BR Oak Island home with ocean views for 12 guests.

The house is obviously beimg remodeled and should not have been made available. However, the obvious stains from sexual intercourse, non-working lights, missing door knobs and handles, used washcloth hanging over the door, pet hair and /or dust clumped across the headboard, false representation of amenities and just the complete disregard for the decent cleanliness was more than we could stomach. This home should not be on VRBO at present. We reached out to the owners and received NO reply. The pictures tell about half of the story. It would only allow 8\. Stay away! Disgusting. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/727a15da-722a-4f24-8303-aab5d89fe84d-1754241309973.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7fa22c21-a324-47d3-95e2-b73dd23faf6a-1754241314646.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/29948485-bcab-42f5-af6a-7980b665e5d2-1754241314858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b079af14-6fb8-4877-a44a-0fed53d67cc2-1754241314212.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff M. 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation Our family vacation at the house was an absolute blast!

We stayed for a week with our family and our teens brought their friends. The accommodations more than met our needs, the beds were comfortable, the pillows were soft, the kitchen stocked with all kinds of spices and we loved the porches. Our teenagers did not complain once of being bored and we had 6 between the ages of 14 and 16\. They didn’t even play on their phones until bedtime haha! The pool, walk to town, walk to marsh, fire pit and swing kept them busy and we spent so much time in together at the pool which felt private most of the time. We thought no living room would be a challenge, but the porches suited us all well! The host were fast to respond and compassionate as we had a few small challenges pop up. Two things to note the internet is a little slow if you need to work or write a college paper, but it is a vacation so we didn’t really care haha! Only the Owner Bedroom has a tv, again no problem our teens bought a projector and put movies on the white fence outside and watched with a the fire which was way better anyways. Great place, just do it, book the house and get ready for a great week! Thank you Patrick and Carrie for going above above and beyond for our family!! ##### Jeanetta D.

However, after having numerous issues with the kitchen appliances, the owner has decided to charge us for the electrician visit which they are claiming was caused by something we did. It all started with no water coming out of the kitchen faucet and after contacting the owners were told it's likely the batteries needing to be replaced. After running to the store and paying 32 for batteries (which they never offered to reimburse), we had a working faucet. That was just the beginning of the issues (no power to the dishwasher, garbage disposal button not operational) and after all of it, they charged us. In addition, there is no living area to speak of and from the online pictures this was not evident. There is the kids area which has block seating that is very hard to sit on and uncomfortable. Not to mention the carpet in that room was VERY dirty and we found a fake fingernail in the carpet making us wonder if it's vacuumed. There is not a single sofa to sit on so when hanging out and talking, we had to sit on the hard chairs in the dining room or squeeze into the uncomfortable kids room. There are plenty of options for places to stay in Southport so I would not waste your money staying here. ##### Kelly F.

We loved our weekend at Crazy Birds! We stayed there for a wedding and it was the perfect house for our needs. So close to everything in Southport and the amenities were great. Would stay again! ##### Lane K. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Suzie R. 26 Dec 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Would not recommend NO LIVING SPACE As a travel professional with over 30 years in the industry I would NOT recommend this rental. While accurate about the amount of bedrooms/baths, the "media room" is the size of a walk in closet and the "stadium seating" amounts to 2 big framed in steps covered in carpet that is horribly stained. The view from the kitchen is marred by a huge hole in the screen that one would guess was chewed by a dog given that a large dog chew was left laying on the door mat. The key pad is located on the back door which requires you to traipse through the grass due to no walk way. The back door is blocked by a curiuosly placed porch swing that one has to navigate around to even reach the door. When we arrived we contacted the Host and advised that not having a space where we could all sit together other than the kitchen was going to be a deal breaker. We were told the description showed that there was no traditional living room/den. The description at that time did not disclose this information. I did however find it among the review complaints. I would think having the info the description vs defending it in bad reviews would be more ideal.In the end, we chose not to stay and rented another property a few streets over that met our needs, was beautiful appointed and was half the price of the original rental. ##### Suzie R.

The place was perfect for our family for our daughter's wedding. We wanted a place where her bridesmaids could stay with us and get ready before the wedding. The view was gorgeous and the location was perfect for getting to the venue within 2 mins. Thank you and hope to stay again sometime! ##### Hannah C.

The hosts are very nice and responsive. The condo is in a perfect location and you can walk to shopping and restaurants. We were surprised that there is not a living room or den so the gathering space is around the kitchen table or porch. It would be helpful for some of the closets to be unlocked for guests because we didn’t have a place to hang up clothes. ##### Debbie R.

Great location. Easy to rent. Bad: -Beds: Awful. Felt like sleeping on a cardboard box. Didn't get one good nights sleep even after 10+ hours of non-stop tournament fishing 3 days in a row. Pillows are thin and useless. I feel like a zombie as I type this. (Lost all the stars due to this mainly) -Shower: Hot water lasts 5min if you use more than one shower head at the same time. Isn't one of the points of having multiple heads, to use them? -Towels: Not enough towels. Notes: Bring your own pillows, bring your own towels. Don't let children shower in the master shower and turn on the steamer. It can severely burn you when it shoots water out randomly so keep your feet up when it starts. If they fixed this stuff, I'd love to rent here again, otherwise I'm trying a different home. ##### Greg R.

We really enjoyed our stay at Crazy Birds again. We cooked several times and had adequate supplies and dishes. Loved the kitchen appliance upgrades. Looking forward to seeing the renovation on the media room!! The only issue we had was the cleaning service forgot King sheets for our bed. However, after contacting the owner, we had sheets the next morning. They were quick to respond. Thanks for beautiful memories made. Until next time!!! ##### Lyons B.

It was a perfect location with plenty of room. They all loved the media room. One of the girls (my daughter) left her necklace. The cleaning crew found it and the host contacted me to let me know. We went a few days later and picked it up. Patrick/Carrie were always an email away and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jennifer B.
