Clean and comfortable space that met our needs perfectly! Checking was a breeze! The property was within walking distance to shops and restaurants, but just far enough away to provide a quiet environment. Bonus of our stay: wild mustangs happily grazing behind the property in the mornings!

3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The location was great. House was clean. Host was difficult to get a response from. My biggest issue was that the listing says there is a spa/whirlpool/hot tub. There is indeed not a hot tup, spa, or anything other than a regular hot tub.

okay stay!

My small family of three decided to take a mini vacation for spring break. When we arrived we had not received any instructions from the property manager and the listing stated it was a house when it was a duplex. It was cold when we arrived so it was nice that they had left the heater and lights on for us. The pervious tenants left a dirty diapers, socks and a razor under the bed and dirty dishes in the dishwasher as well as some unknowns stains on the toilet seat. Since it was going cold during our visits, we had hope to enjoy some tv/movies as a family but unfortunately the cable and wifi was not working. When I messaged the manager about a couple questions and wifi password we did not receive a response. Overall we enjoyed the town and how close it was to the strip. We just wished it was a little clearer and communication was better.
