Grt floorplan, King Bed, No Cleaning fee

Summary:
Our beautiful MCM home is located just 15 mins from DT & set on almost 1 acre. Enjoy the large living space with huge sectional & fireplace! The house boasts a gourmet/well stocked kitchen (coffee provided!), an open and inviting layout, + the most comfy beds. IF YOU LIVE WITHIN AN HOUR OF BIRMINGHAM, YOUR STAY MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE YOU BOOK SO PLEASE CONTACT US! (This is to prevent gatherings). This home is strictly a VACATION RENTAL for people who need accommodations. Thank you!

The Space:
THE BIRDHOUSE is a 3 BR/2 BATH home. (There is a basement apartment attached which can be rented - if available- for bigger groups.

We call this "The Birdhouse" for a few reasons: 1) it's super close to the airport (metal birds!), 2) The previous owners, who took impeccable care of the home, also installed many bird houses in the backyard which you will notice and 3) the sound you'll wake up to when you stay here, is the beautiful sound of birds chirping vs. the sound of the city. The property seems like it should be out in the country due to the size. It is a very special/peaceful place. Everyone who comes to this house always comments about what a hidden gem of a property it really is!

Now for the spaces... besides the enormous backyard which has a huge grassy yard, a pool, outdoor eating area and grill, the inside space is very large and is a perfect place to hang out with your family and play board games, build that gingerbread house, or finally finish that Netflix series you started watching 6 months ago!

KITCHEN:
The kitchen boasts Jennair and Kitchenaid appliances, and has literally EVERYTHING you need to cook. We also provide spices, coffee, tea, and much more.

LIVING ROOM:
We outfitted the living room with a very large, very comfortable sectional sofa and accent chairs. There are also cushions to use if you have a great game of uno happening at the coffee table and need to sit on the floor. You will also find a gas fireplace to enjoy in the colder months and of course the TV which has a Roku device so you can log into your streaming accounts. Off to the side, there is a dedicated workspace with a large desk that is very close to the internet router (for fast wifi).

DINING ROOM:
The dining room table currently sits 6, but there is a leaf that can extend it to fit even more guests. It is elegant and cozy... perfect for that meaningful time together.

MASTER BEDROOM:
The master bedroom boasts a King Bed with a crazy comfy memory-foam mattress. The room is quite large and has plenty of closet space. There is a small couch and a twin mattress that can be pulled out. This space is designed to be a haven for parents with small children who need to be in the same room. Note that there is also a pack & play stored in the hall closet you are welcome to use!

MASTER BATHROOM:
The master bedroom is pure luxury with a large rain shower and bench. You might just want to live in the shower :) Shampoo, Conditioner, & Body Wash provided.

QUEEN BEDROOM:
Queen Bed with pillow-top mattress. We decorated this to be a quiet/serene space.

2 TWIN BEDROOM:
These twin beds are Extra Long (like dorm beds) so they will be comfortable for kids and adults alike. However, unlike dorm beds, these have super comfortable memory foam mattresses. You'll find a small desk, perfect for another work space or homework, and a large closet.

MAIN BATHROOM:
The bathroom that the other bedrooms share includes a jetted tub... perfect for relaxing after a hard day of.... relaxing! (after all, you are on vacation!) Shampoo, Conditioner, & Body Wash provided.

EXTRA SLEEPING SPACE:
We have a queen air-mattress that has a built-in pump that is perfect to put in the living room for extra sleeping space (sheets/pillows included!)

PARKING:
Although there isn't parking available on the street, up to 4 cars can fit in the driveway and there is even room for an RV on the side of the garage.

Guest Access:
Guests access the property through the front door using a digital lock that is programmed with a code specifically for them. The lock will not work until the house rules/disclosures are signed by the booking guest & pool waivers are signed by the other guests.

The Neighborhood:
THE BIRDHOUSE is located on a quiet street in a quiet street in a transitioning neighborhood. It is 3 minutes off the freeway yet you don't hear fwy noise due to the lush landscaping and tall trees. The house itself is on the top of a hill and is very private. The area is becoming known for shopping and dining and is conveniently located close to downtown Birmingham. You can be in the heart of the city in 10-15 minutes!

Other Things to Note:
The Birdhouse is dog friendly with a few conditions: There is a $25/night per dog fee and all pups must be well trained and are not allowed on the furniture under any circumstances. Guests are required to pick up after their pet (including the yard) and will responsible for any damages to furniture, etc.

Because the pool is not gated, no children under the age of 14 are allowed to be in the backyard without supervision.

The basement apartment on the property ("THE NEST") has it's own outdoor space and yard that is divided with a chain-link fence. Guests may not enter the yard in this space unless the the apartment is rented as well. (Gates are locked) At the same time, guests from The Nest are not allowed to come into the Birdhouse yard and do not have access to the pool.

The bistro lights on the house & pavillion turn on automatically when the sun goes down! Please do not turn off as they are there for safety as it is really dark at night.

Interaction with Guests:
I live out of state but I have a great support crew that can help with anything you need!

Clean, cozy, and relaxing!!
We stayed for a baseball tournament. The house was perfect for the 3 families. There were plenty of sleeping options for a house with 3 bedrooms, there were extra air mattresses, and places to put them for people to sleep. We had enough space the we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. The back yard was very refreshing after a day at the ballpark! Parents and kids enjoyed the pool!! The house is close to many food options and the highway to get to many things. We would definitely stay here again. Julie the host was very kind, and quick to respond to needs and questions.

Needs up keep!
Needs a lot of cleaning! Tub was filthy, unable to give infant a bath due to scum in tub. only used shower. Was a fire waiting to happen. Numerous extension cords plugged into one another and draped all around house (trip hazzards too) Tile by front door area broken away, big pieces missing, when walking barefoot cut foot, also big enough for trip hazzard. I say location was good, just needs some up keep.

Surgical Recovery
This is a great property! Lovely views from the big windows. Great vacation spot for families in the summer. We really enjoyed it, until our downstair neighbors began blasting music for two nights. No, I didn’t call Julie, it would have caused trouble. My husband was recovering from surgery & had no peace. So we left early & came home.

Cozy Mid Century Modern
My family enjoyed this cozy mid century modern gem. We loved gathering by the pool and the beautiful, expansive yard. The soft lighting made the atmosphere special while hanging out on the comfortable sectional couch in the living room. My daughter had some work to catch up on and was able to use the office right off the living room so she could still be connected to the rest of the family. The bedding was comfortable and house was super quiet and so we were well rested for the day. Would definitely stay again!

Just as advertised
I really enjoyed this house, it was perfect for our family and it was just as advertised. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because of the smell of the house. While you could tell it was clean, the house had a moldy, musty smell. The A/C did not circulate as it should and the smell was very strong as soon as you came in the door. It was as also kind of stuffy at night. Other than that, Julie was very quick to respond and we had no issues. Our family enjoyed the pool and the overall stay.

Clean and comfortable
The house was clean and confortable until check in email . I didn't realize it had an apartment being rented because it's in the narrative of listing and easily overlooked. They could be heard playing music downstairs. Location was convenient for the stay with plenty of local ammenities close by. Check in was difficult as we didn't receive our door code. It was cold and raining while being outside trying to reach the owner for help. Had to call vrbo hotline for help. Once I was able to reach the owner after about 30 to 45 minutes the code wouldn't work but the situation was finally corrected that day. The code stopped working again a few days later and had to reach out to get let in at night time.

It was an overall great stay, however the lower unit had about 12 people at one point, a dog and a baby, so we did have to sleep on the couch to get enough quiet to be able to sleep.
