Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house in Rye The Bird House can be highly recommended: it is spacious, clean, well equipped and all appliances are working well. The pool is nice, with its solar heating being very effective. The house has two large living areas on different levels with huge smart TVs in each one.
