Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 4th stay in this villa. 2017, 19, 22 & 23. Villa was lovely as usual, but not as clean as prior visits. I was told that the owners were staying there before our visit, so I don't know whether they that had "cleaned" or housekeeping. In the past it has been spotless, however this stay, it had not been cleaned to standard. Stove, mirrors, and hair on the floors behind doors. The Gardens of the Kai complex need to address the tree and bush roots on the beach as it is taking over what once was a pristine beach. This was apparent last year and now it is 75% worse that then. Very overgrown. Owners/renters from other villas OUTSIDE of the complex walk there dogs daily on this private beach and although they do pick up the poop, they cannot pick up the urination. Dogs are walked off the leash and left to roam around the properties and when seeing people, some are running up and barking at them. In addition,on our first full day, a person who I presumed was the Gardens of the Kai manager came over to the villa and was taking photos with her phone. she asked me whether I was wondering what she was doing, then goes on to question me about how many people are staying in the villa vs. how many beach chairs that were in front of it and said that they were the Gardens of Kai seating for all to use although seating was in plenty, and no-one was using. She told me to put them back" if we were not using them and I told her she is welcome to them and was shocked by the hostility because the seating must have been there for sometime and we had only just arrived. I write this review in hopes that the issues raised receives attention, especially the beach as that is in serious need of TLC to get it back to the standard it was. I hope that if next time we visit, our stay will be like it was back in 2017, 19 & 22. (A closing note... photo of the pristine beach is not as it is now, it is overgrown with tree roots all along it.

Relaxing vacation with stunning ocean views! Loved spending our vacation relaxing on the beach, kayaking to see the starfish, and enjoying the screened in deck in the evenings!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I had 18 wonderful days in January 2024 and loved every minute of it! It was a great location and we hope to return every year. The unit was very clean, had lots of beach towels, lounge chairs on the beach just steps from the front door. We kayaked to see the bio-luminescent and enjoyed many great meals walking across the street to the Kaibo restaurant.

This property is situated well away from the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach on a beautiful stretch of sand in the north sound. The location of the actual home is absolutely spectacular with clear views of the sound and open ocean from the front porch. You simply cannot beat the location on the beach for peace and quiet. With the distance from the major population center comes the necessity for grocery delivery and an understanding that it will take you a while to go anywhere else on the island.

Quiet area, spectacular beach front. Very well appointed Very responsive to any requests Looking forward to a return

We had the best vacation ever. Amazing location, clean, views and support. Book this place for your get away to paradise.

Three Little Birds was everything we were hoping for as far as location and amenities. We swam and kayaked from our back door and sat and watched the shooting stars at night. There was a nearby market we drove to almost daily and a couple restaurants nearby within walking and biking distance. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars is not being able to reach the property manager, Julie. The air conditioner broke overnight our second night and we woke up sweating. We waiting until 8am to call her and she didn’t answer until almost 9am. Then her husband was going to stay at villa so we could go out but he came and left us there. After several hours, we called her again but couldn’t get her and had to call the owner who advised that the property manager’s husband would be back in a couple hours. When he was almost scheduled to be there we went swimming because we were hot. When we came back in the air tech told us the husband came and left again! They ended up replacing the outside air unit and the tech was doing work on inside electrical panel and draining inside unit. We live in Florida, things happen with ACs. The issue was with communication and being stuck at the villa all day until almost 6pm. We didn’t ask for but received a small credit, which was nice but we did lose an entire day.
